[Empty Trails]

nice!

the background percussion/ambiance of the song is really good. i think the main thing to improve is that synth that comes in at :41, its just not the right sound. maybe some dramatic violin chords or something. and make the volume increase as the note holds longer for the first one, start loud and soften really quickly for the second. and some reverb. thats at least what i'd do to make it really dramatic and cool.

but gj!! =]

check out my stuff plz!

encino187 responds:

Thanks for the taking the time to listen and review the track. I'll keep in mind those suggestions going forward.

I tried violins in the earlier phases of writing this but found the violin to draw too much attention. I was shooting to keep it minimalistic-ish but at the same time have a few things going on in the background but have it not be too apparent - if that makes any sense.

In any event thanks, I'll check out your stuff when I have a bit more time :)

Cheers

[Turbocharged]

meh.

ugh, the drums sound so soft and weak and overall cliched and repetitive. also ur bassline was really weak in the beginning and the next synth that came in also sounded lame. the pads were nice, but they cant stand alone and they dont really complement the synths u already have. imo this could be improved. change the bassline and the bass synth itself, they just sound weak. maybe add some effects to ur main synth like reverb or something because it just sounds weak, and make ur drums more intense. maybe then ill feel more turbocharged. srry if im harsh, jst constructive criticism.

check my stuff out plz!

boney-man responds:

Nah, you're not being harsh. I'm new to FL Studio anyway :D
I'll try to improve my basses and make more powerful drums.

I'll check out your stuff too!

[(FW) Chill-o-Matic]

excellent!!

im a real big house fan, [and when i say that stickdance!heaven game also used one of my songs, i had to check it out. he has good tastes!] well this is exactly what deep, funky house is. gj! i love that synth that goes with the beat and ur synth chords, they are great.

check my stuff out too!

wolf-tech responds:

Thanx. i'll try to check out your stuff.

[Pumpkin]

very nice!

i dont know why this is getting such low ratings. i thought this was really nice. idk if its just the recording but it sounded a little muddy when u went down and octave or so. well gj! the dynamics were on, the melody was nice, this is relaxing to listen to, i like i like! =]

check my stuff plz!!

Hawkian responds:

Thank you very much! These comments mean a lot to me. And yes, the recording is VERY crappy quality. Basically a PC mic positioned at the idiosyncratically best position for each song. It muddies the bottom two octaves (especially chords) IMMENSELY trying to pick them up.

[{dj-N} Tears In My Eyes [MiX]]

very nice!

this was pretty good, the beat was strong and the synths were nice. i like how u did that little choppy thing on the lead synth. my only complaint is that im jst sick of that melody, ive heard it so many times its so unoriginal now, but the way the song was made was really sweet. gj!!

check my stuff pllz!!

dj-Nate responds:

Tis.

[Silver-Lined Shadow _Collab_]

not bad, not bad :)

yeah, this was pretty cool. i agree with the guy below me that sometimes the piano was a bit loud. whatever distortion was on the recording made the piano sound cool, though :D i like how the trancey part mimics the piano part, but the way the notes are arranged are different. my only complaints are that some of the techno elements are hugely overused in other songs [like teh bassline thing playing in triplets, it almost annoys me now lol], docking originality, and some of the piano melody could have been improved a bit.

IMO i think there could have been a greater techno:piano ratio, or maybe find a way to incorporate both at one time. that would be pretty cool if u ask me :D

thanks 4 ur review 2 me, and cya :D
p.s. whoaa cool ur from china AND you do parkour, thats hella sweet. :D

F-777 responds:

ya that background thing your talking about thats in a lot of songs is called "erogate" but in this song i actually made from scratch using a high bleep sound but puting in a low octave.

but ya sounds too much like the "erogate " i should have used a different sound.

Anyways thanks for the nice comment!

Ya parkour is fun, i can do a fronthandflip, a frontflip with no hands on flat ground. Cant backflip yet, and me and buddies love running around jumping far and high gaps.

See you later!

[Beware (loop)]

mmmm

i guess for a loop this is okay. i think that there needed to be more bass, and everything overall jst sounded too high-freq. the synth could use some work if u ask me, but it might jst be me. well gj :)

check my stuff plz!! :D

vSmashv responds:

agreed =)

[Anyone Can Make Techno]

i thought this was pretty good:)

the ppl below me, i dont see what the big deal about the mastering is, it seems mostly good to me. Although sometimes the synths get some noise, i dont see that as a major problem.

i like the drums and i like how all the synths complemented each other and weren't very generic, the constant wah-ing was a nice touch too. the song had emotion! keep it up :)

check my stuff plz!!:D

LfunkeyA responds:

thanks, yeah i'll check yer stuff.

[Caged Animal]

i get that feeling.

this is pretty cool :) i like ur chord progressions, some intentional (i think) dissonances add the the frustration. but its cool.

check my stuff plz :D

LfunkeyA responds:

i played really badly here, but the chords are real :).
