[DJ{Scratch-N-Sniff}-Stormsynth]

Those drums

The percussion is waaaaaaaaaay too powerful, and too filtered. The lead is on the bland side.

Keep going with it.

Scratch-n-Sniff responds:

haha, thanks man. ill get to work on it. :D

[Crying Soul (Scratch RMX)]

And the review goes....

Impressive as always, Nal.

I haven't actaully heard the original, so i'll have to go look it up, but great job on this track! For some reason, the main synth felt a little repetitive, but i guess its just me.

Don't forget, I'm still up for doing vocals!

nal1200 responds:

Good to hear!

I may need some in the near future.

[BlkAce: ~Enjoyment~ (DAC)]

kaboom

Wow, an amazing piece of music. what you need is a breakdown about 30 sec into it. make a new riff, or expand on the old one. in other words, it got a little repetitive, and the main riff is a little too quantized for my liking, but the song's ridiculously addictive. GO FOR THE GOLD!!!!

oh, and my name abbreviates to Mortos, not Mortosder, but no big deal!

BlkAce responds:

Haha thanks for the comment

I'm really thinking of remixing and re-fixing this now that I'm getting better at FL :D

[BlkAce: Road to Victory]

something goes here.

i think if you replace the organ with a guitar, it would make a nice metal riff. try that and see how it sounds.

BlkAce responds:

will do!

Thanks!

[=The Ultimate Heist=]

well.....

You had a really nice build up in the first 40 seconds, and then the claps come in and ruin it. i strongly suggest replacing them with snare, or removing them altogether. Also, the beat is way too 4x4 (you know, kick, snare, kick, snare
) try switching it up a bit (like the drum solo's you have)

About the drum solo's,the song seems to dive right in to them, without any warning, and then right back out. You also seem to be focusing WAY too much on the snare drum with the drum rolls that never seem to end. I suggest you clean it up a bit, and shorten it.

From the 2:00 min mark 'till the last 30 sec. i have no complaints.

In the last 30 sec. of the song, the moog arp (i'm assuming you're using FL studio) overpowers the other melodies, and to me, it seems like it doesn't quite fit. Your call on that one.

Anyways, i really enjoy this song, it just needs a little (more) work.

Spoony18 responds:

yea your right, i do need to change up the beat some. im just kinda tired on this song, and ill have to get to it some other time. thanks for your review though, i marked it as helpful, because it was! thanks

[Strings on Fire]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES! MORE CLASSICAL! fantastic! absolutely fantastic! not a single complaint!

MOAR!!!!!!

nal1200 responds:

MAHAHAAH you shall get your more soon enough..;]

[Wizard]

wow.....

ah-freaking-mazing! new favorite track! this makes me want to stop making songs, because i fell like i'll never be able to best this!

AUUGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if you could give me some pointers on my own work, i might come close to this though.

Metalcan responds:

Wow thanks! Don't stop making songs because of this though! :)

Well I don't know what to say, I tend to approach music making in many different ways. I'd maybe get Computer Music magazine for some inspiration and music making tips. Just try to find a way that works for you, and keep practising. If something doesn't work in your song, change it. Don't just expect to make a song from start to finish without rearranging and replacing parts. Don't be afraid to erase bad parts completely and make something different. Hopefully you'll get a nice result in the end. :)

[Clean vs. Dirty REMIX]

meh

It almost sounds like all you did was decrease the tempo, cut out a bit and change one of the effects, but it does make it enough of a change to be a remix. I wish you would've done more with it, but it was god nonetheless.

Ruby-S responds:

Yeah it was'nt much i did.
But thanks for the review!

[Pre-emptive Strike]

It's a summary

Hmm....... kinda reminds me of Bone Thugs in Harmony. The gunshot sounds horrible. Sounds like bubble wrap. Get that fixed. And try to turn down the whole "I'm a gangter" thing you have going in the lyrics. Good track though. Gets a 4.

ELEVENT responds:

Hmm if you listen to the lyrics it's talking AGAINST rap that glorifies the whole "G" lifestyle. I mention a few times that I'm not a thug and will never be a ganster rapper.

[BlkAce: ~Marvel~]

some suggestions

1. Try not using that Acid without changing it a little

2. Make the riffs a little more diverse, chop them up

Other than that, good job. Its got a nice trance-like background to it.

BlkAce responds:

Alright

Thanks for the suggestions!
