[Touching On (Clean Revision)]

better than before

i don't quite recall what the first one had going for it, but as far as this one goes, its pretty good. it still lacks a theme though.

your transitions are better i think, but the song itself is still pretty much the same all the way through. your variations are not distinct enough. it seems to me like you're trying to produce a song before dreaming the dream first. you have to have the completed puzzle in your mind innitially, and then make the pieces and put it together. i feel that you suffer from this (common) problem because your composition is very abstract, and like i said before, lacking in distinction and theme.

please don't be discouraged though, you clearly have the ability. stick with it, and figure out what you want to do before you do it.

Thnx. I swear, I'll get this thing right eventually.

[One track mind]

here's your review

-initial panning is predominantly in the left ear and is mildly aggravating
+percs sortof fix it but its still annoying for a bit
-cool strings but it causes me to realize how repetitive it has been so far
-lacking transitions
-lacks a distinct structure
+well mixed

Reignee responds:

i wish man , i wish :D

[Guess What? (Dubstep)]

AWESOME

you're my bloody, filthy hero, man. i diiiiig it. how do you do that bass!?

Reignee responds:

mess with your synths and effects alot, save your project as a new file with every effect you add and try different chains of effects. you could make the dirtiest bass with the simplest waveform :)

[Rise of the Eldrazi]

lawl i has a tajuru preserver and a guard gomazoa

pretty sweet, i definitely get the vibe. it isn't quite perfect in my opinion, though. i dont think the chimes you use go well with the idea of emrakul blotting out the sun or ulamog blasting through a mountain. i think a gregorian chant sorta thing would be more fitting, especially with your well executed rumbly atmosphere and drums and whatnot. that aside, a dang good job.

lanky21 responds:

Yeah, I didn't quite have the image of the active Eldrazi smashing the world. My idea was more the beginning of the end of days vibe. The hedrons slowly activating, the Eldrazi spawn being spotted here and there.

Thanks for the review Vaib, and remember: Friends don't let friends play blue control decks.

[PHOOZLE - Life Agreement]

wow

for a test this is really cool. im actually more intrigued with your style of percussion than your synthwork, which is pretty good don't get me wrong. your kick drum in particular, though, is really... intriguing. i like it alot.

phoozle responds:

Lot's and lots of compression ;) Also some EQ of course

[Epic Drum TEST]

woooo

at first i was like HHHNNNGGGG TOO MUCH COMPRESSION but then you started doing cool things and i was like ok. still gotta turn the compression down a bit. timing is key with this sort of thing, like with skips rolls, reverses and the like. you do alot o tricks on time, but you miss the tempo on alot of others. i dig it alot, though. keep up the good work.

DJ-Bert responds:

thank you vaib!

[Printer Party]

ha wow

this is the only piece i've heard come out of that contest that i haven't utterly hated, and i friggin like it. i'd give ya a ten if it were a little louder and if it had a little more variation.

alextheDJ responds:

lol thanks! yah I don't know why my stuff is so quiet cause in logic it sounds fine but when I export it, it's quiet >:( idk
thanks for the review! and wow 2 reviews in under 5 minutes!

[Shizza - What It Takes]

TRUTH

great track man. your mixin needs some work though. vox are too loud, for one thing. everything else is pretty good though, especially the lyrics! heellla good lyrics.

Tantrum33 responds:

thank you man i do appreciate it. like i said, this is just a rough draft so to speak. i will work on the mixing though, good looks.

[{Dj-L} New Life (WiP)]

its a good start

i recommend fading in the synth as a transition from the keys to the synth. i get the impression here that you want the melody to stand out, but your percussion execution distracts from the melody BIG time. your clap pattern simple absorbs too much attention away from your melodies. keep it up! i look forward to hearing the final version.
