[The Big Sleep]

Interesting track, wish the percussion was a bit more drum and bassy. Hi hats were kind of boring and repetitive. Maybe add some melody variation

The pitch bends were a pretty cool addition, made the track more unique.

Check mine out if you'd like.

The-Cockenator responds:

Will do :D and yes its still just a bit reapetive but it will come soon and i will :D

[KKS - Buried Ambitions]

Pretty great, loved the movement, sounds never felt like they were staying still. Made for a euphoric listening experience.

Mind letting me know how you did the chorus at 0:55? That gave me chills.

Excellent track.

KKSlider60 responds:

It is a Thor vocal patch, I use Reason. :) I was mainly inspired by Portal 2 and Nine Inch Nails.
Thanks for the review ^^

[Dark Descent Ft Sorteberg]

Melody was great. Don't like your choice of percussion. Try a less generic sounding snare. Try to mix it up with the hats as well.

balderdact responds:

Thanks for the advice!

[NoiseStep]

Loving the industrial dubstep vibe. The percussion is awesome! Just wish the main wobble was a bit more massive if you know what I mean. Sounded like a car engine that just wasn't able to fully start.

Keep working at it, I dig your style.

Wurfel-Waffles responds:

Thank you so much for the comment. It's very helpful!

[Chuggin Riff Sample]

DAMN IT. I wanted the bass guitar and drums to kick in so bad. SO BAD.

Please finish this. Or I'll have to murder this chinchilla.

DiroNomer responds:

lol! Alright. By request, I will finish this.

Thanks for the comment :)

[I Want To Be With You]

The good: Decent production quality, Lovely voice, wonderful effort.

The bad: cliche lyrics and structure, overused chord progression, some notes sounded off at times.

Bring something new to the table instead of rewriting every cheesy love song ever created.

soundbreaker responds:

The Good: Lucky microphone purchase off eBay.

The Bad: Was drunk when writing the lyrics (and half-sober when recording them). LazyMuffin is the original creator of the instrumental, which I was enchanted with.

I was aiming for the cheesiest of stalker-songs, so I must have done pretty well by your standards.

[easterhell, rooster f-yea]

I feel violated.

[Eliminate All Remixes]

Don't be so hard on yourself. You've got your own style, and its great. You just need to work on transitions and variation, that crash is nice the first time, but after a while it gets old, try something else!

Your melody patterns are catchy.. well made, just need a bit of changes here and there so it isn't the same thing for 4 bars and then you change it up.

Drum samples are important for a better sounding track, try less generic sounding samples, I'm sure you can find some free ones online!

All in all good track, which could be even better with a few changes.

BouncyPiglett responds:

It's all one big learning experience right. Becoming good at something like this I would imagine takes many years of intense practise. I don't have the time for intense practise so a long-drawn out period of trial and error is what's in store for me. But hey, the fact that it's ANY GOOD at all at this stage is making it all worth while
