[Sp1r1T - Pulse]

oorah!

I like the drumloop u made/used in the intro, nice drummyzors!
Also, the lead is default house'ish, pretty cool :)
Addicting beat & bass too, so keep it up :O

5/5`

Sp1r1T responds:

Thanks Kr1z ^^

[.HLS. Melo 31 (WiP)]

nice!

I like the bass pattern, and i'm glad to hear a more original bass pattern than just offbeat. Nice tune & nice drums!!

Well mixed imo

One tip perhaps, don't use that crash sample so often! its repeating too much
Other than that, lovely track already, keep it up!

5/5
2.05 / 5.00 (+ 0.38) .. err? =P

heartless1298 responds:

Thanks! I'll be sure to switch up those crashes. Thanks for the review!

[Solo WIP]

Some tips

pretty nice & clean track u have already, but here are some tips to improve it:

1. The clap: not sure, but i think you used just 1 (VEC?) sample.
Here's a common method: Layer 2 or 3 clap samples, and give them their own volume. Add EQ & reverb on the result to get better & more unique claps.

2. The kick: it's good, i dunno if u did so but with kicks, its common to layer some samples, again, to get a better, a less recongnizable and more unique kick.

3. Add some bass, i can't hear any. When you do add an instrument that does the bass notes, try not using only offbeat bassnotes, thats very common and unoriginal for a trance track

4. Presets leads? Not sure if u used much presets, but in case u did, try modding & layering them to make them better. 3xosc also works :)

For a longer explanation, http://karcoreviewalt.newgrounds.com is your guide :)

Hope this was helpful ^-^

[Firebolt - Above(demo)]

Summary.

Intro starts great, i love the hats u used.
Kick is pretty well done.
Also, the bass arp is lovely :)
Imo the sub bass u used should play like an octave lower :/
Pads are quite nice.
The chords u used are awesome, and so is ur melody & lead.
So keep on rocking :)
5/5

FlamingFirebolt responds:

Hey krizzy ;p.
Like most of my songs, this one is made periodecally(?). I started with that intro synthy plucked bell thing. And found that bass seq. And started building a small intro with that. And you inspired me for this melo so thanks ^__^.
I personally dislike the hats, but what the hell:p
If i would lower the bass then it would be too low. Kinda a dilemma at some point. Going for deep bass, or a much cleaner, and better overall feeling. I chose for the latter but i'm not sure if i made the right choice:/. If i get more comments like these i will change it in my final mix.
Pads... Different oppinions about those... Anyone noticed there actually sidechained in the chorus? :O!!
Rocking i wil, trancing i must.

[/M: Altered Reality]

Allright then..

Ok, to start with.. the FX are really good & fitting, like some real goa (I guess!?)
Bass arp & kick are pretty nice..
Although, the bassnote has some part in it that makes it sound like a drum in fact, I never do this, but I guess this is goa stuff! So.. goodjob!!? ;D
The transition at 0:53 doesnt really fit, its kinda weird.. thats where to goa changes into like a happy bassline! About the transition, I'd make it more smooth and add way more stuff :) like rolls, crashes, fx and gaycrapstuff.
About the melody, it lovely, but not quite goa :O
The degrading is a nice element to add & variate the song. Goodjob on that one :O
Imo the overall needs a lil more going on, like add some arp synth that plays the background chords, or more hihat patterns, or some tune that adds to the main tune.
Still, a nice solid track. Congratz on this one, and keep on mixing :)

5/5 or wut?
Kr1z.

Mich responds:

Ok to start with... thanks for the review.
Fx = indeed, goa stuff ^^
Bassnote sounding like percussion was meant like that, it's done that way in goa. Though like ZENON stated I'm going to replace my bass with one with more mid too.
Transistion might be a bit wack, maybe I should have used a little pad-like thing there. You're right.
The melody is indeed not quite goa since goa doesn't have melodies -.- But that's because I'm just not thinking 'dark enough' and I guess I was kinda happyish when I wrote it ^^ But it still sounds nice, and it's original, so I think it's good anyway ^^
Degrading here is a good bitcrusher (freely downloadable, google it) I also added a flanger there to give it an extra touch.
I could have added more, but after all it's not really a major project :p
I'll keep on mixing. Thanks again for the good review, and the 5 ^^

Krizy responds:

Yo mate :D, thank you!
I've heard some of your music. (Because of your name! :P)
It's awesome, never thought you would review this XD

I get "Kriz" from my name "Kristoffer" but I had to put an "y"
on the end because everyone have already taken "Kriz" :P
(hmm... You got a nice nickname... good job :P)

1.99? Lol, this gotta' be some 0 bombers.
Once again, thanks and keep it up with your stuff :P :P
