[Guitar Vs. Piano [ver. XCEED] (Goukisan Remix)]

Seriously Man, Piano.

I'm going to make this a short review--and I know you're not going to like what I have to say, so I'm only going to say the negative things. (Assume everything else is perfect--because it is.) The piano is far, far too quiet--you could've at least EQ'd it to the point where, if it is that quiet, made it a little more noticeable. In parts where the piano in the original song are supposed to be the 'lead,' everything else sounds like the same thing over and over, because it is. It's one thing if you have a quiet piano, but at least make the part a little more interesting. Those parts are just so boring man. :( I liked everything else, just, the piano is what makes the song original and without piano, this is just like every other song. Yes, it's a good 'every other song,' but it is just like every other song. Please release a re-master :( It would probably mean a lot to everyone. Thanks man.

rtnario responds:

Well, I'm not exactly the professional in terms of actual audio engineering, so I have so much to learn. Also, I don't know if the parts seem boring to you, or if you haven't heard the original 1.2 and noticed that I used the exact same melodies XD;; I guess I can't deny anything against turning up the piano, but let me reiterate that there can be as much as 4 electric guitars in one band instead of 4 keyboards o: I'll think about that re-master though, but I'd rather do those kinds of things for my original compositions, which I hope you'll like if you ever bump into them! Thank you for the insightful review!

Yep.

That's some nice Wobblestep you've got going there. Best I've ever heard. ;D

Envy responds:

I see youve got some wobble in your step. GET IT, LIKE WOBBLESTEP.

WOBBLE WOBBLE

[Uptown, K' Road]

Sex

Beach sex
you know it
I know it
we all know it
AND YOU KNOW HOW TO PRODUCE, TECK. FUCK YES.
Needs a lil' more bass though :c

[Trance in 15]

Dope on a Rope

You know what you're doing, haha.
All I can say is, I expected the second half to change. Keep the same melody but make it a little different. It'll sound more.. Interesting, especially as a loop.

["Dance Song" Preview]

Great melodies

The actual music is great. I don't think you need any advice there--the thing is, you seem to have limited the master output to 50%
Therefore I refuse to give this submission any more than a 5/10. This could be great without that reduction in sound. Check your mixer, it's at 50% max volume.

momboom1 responds:

I guess I didn't test it through any output other than my headphones so it sounded louder in those. Thanks :(.

[Fire Anthem DEMO by Enteroar]

Sorry bud

Welp, it just didn't flow well. That, and that it peaks way too much. I'm using Sennheiser HD595s, just to clarify this. The piano was great, the pads were a bit loud, and it could be way better. Just master it better. However, what confused me, was that you had the piano just stop when the melody come in, and other times, you cut stuff off for no apparent reason. It's a confusing song. It could be much better, try making it have an opening, one solid middle, and then either a completely different end, or a reasonably-long closing.

Enteroar responds:

Hey bro I just uploaded this song to the finished one, so just jus tell me what to fix now :P

[Help me name this song!]

You need to edit your live performances

It's great, at the beginning. Then it's the same synth over and over, with quiet drums in the background. Not to mention, your live playing is offbeat. You need to go back and fix your notes, bud. It seems to end abruptly and there's really nothing I can say I like about this song.

CardboardowI responds:

I'm sorry theres nothing you can think to say good. :( maybe try some of my other works if you didn't like this one.

Anyway, I did the same sytnh over and over for a reason, and i do diffrent stacks on it alot, but I didn't really want alot of instrument changes. I did it as to like a theme of something, what im not sure, proly a field or space or something of some area, im not sure.

However, I'm pretty sure it's not off beat since, well when i was making this song, I litrally put noes on the beat, most of this wasn't even live. Some of the smaller effects were live, but most of those are consant or fade in with no beat.

Also, whats wrong with quiet drums? they weren't very important except for the intro they just kept the beat moving. If a song isn't about the drums, im not going to bring them out.

So while I disagree with the majority of your opinions, I thank you for your review.

[German Hard Trance (UKHT Mix)]

Teck is Dope. And so are you.

I love how insane it sounds. It's truly sick. :)
I just wish you'd somehow credited Teck, because he's really.. Hmm. I guess it's kind of even as to responsibility, but still, you should really credit him man. I do really think they're both sick, and again, I love how crazy it sounds in parts. ;D
9/10 because of minor peaking/distortion and lack of credit. Still a very nice job. :)
