[A Heartbeat of Thousands]

motivational!

great song! this could easily be on the soundtrack of an epic movie! kinda reminds me of the gary moore song "over the hills and far away". the drum beat is unconventional but works well for this song for some reason. if i were to make a suggestion i would say try to make the drum sound bigger (not louder). listen to gary moore and you'll know what im talking about.

OMGL33TH4X0R responds:

Yeah I had the kick drum louder at one point but I was suggested to tone it down a little as it drowned out some of the sounds.
Thanks a lot for you review! Glad you liked it!

[. Game Over .]

nice

you, sir, are good at this. this song has the clean, well produced sound that i've been trying to hone in on for the past year.

Xenoscape responds:

well heck...that's mighty nice of you to say...

I could say it's the result of a special formula or a rigorous routine, but i guess sometimes things just come together.

[-{IBG}- pokemon-remix [snb]]

meh

needs more variety and hook, and i think the whole pokemon remix thing is a little overdone on ng. not bad for a one day project though!

[Bollywood]

nice

I really like this. it does a good job of capturing the ethnic flavor yet still staying easily accessable. It was kind of missing a low end for most of the song, but i dont know if you were going for that or not.

ZombieCucumber responds:

Thanks!

[Cozmic NG mix ((DJW))]

noice

this is eq'ed very nicely. everything fits together well in the mix, so props on that.

djwizzkid responds:

i used GuarageBand

[The_Trance_Thing [Box-Killa]]

yeah

First of all, there were many things in this song that were awesome. Some of the arps that you threw in there were very cool, especially the xylophone one somewhere in the middle. What this song needs is more focus, more of a hook. The structure of the song is kinda random too, needs more order. I also agree that the sounds should sound a little more unique. Parameter automations should be thrown in to make the instruments sound more organic and less sterile. Very good start all in all though. Work on it some more and resubmit it. I would love to hear where you go with this.

cheers!

Box-Killa responds:

Yes that review was awsome i will have to do what you say, im going to make a new song. LD happy hunting!

[Fuiste-The Facemelter (NGmix)]

not bad

This would go well with some kind of beast attacking a village or something lol. I'm guessing ure using reason? I think i hear a scream sound destructor in there

Fuiste responds:

Nah, FL Studio 8 inside Sonar 8. But I got all kinds of extra VST's from god knows where on the internet.

I'm really glad you liked the song tho. Yeah, I was pretty much going for as violent and hectic a song as I could come up with, so your description fits the bill.

Peace.

[Old Times]

not bad

I like it. very relaxing. kinda makes me want to go be a farmer lol

SoundWave23 responds:

Haha, thanks

[DJ Comet-Unleash It Remix]

nice and clean

very nice. what program did you use?

TheComet responds:

FL Studio 7 (yes, 7 D: )

[Cellar Door]

Nice one

I kinda like it. The panning bass is awesome and well balanced. Drums are clipping kinda badly though, might want to work on that
