[Rofl Monster - Beautiful End]

Awesome!

Great samples!
I think the sub bass has a little too loud. Or the there is something that is creating a really deep sub =[

I love the drum samples (Hats are a little high freq, but that's ok)
I really like the synths and leads, they sound cool together.
Try bringing the sub bass lower, bring the main lead up, add more variety of synths under the same pattern so it has more power.

Everything is good! but too much sub bass, I think that is making the sound volume lower and throwing off the mastering.

[KKS - CMB]

It doesn't help me go to sleep.

It think it's becasue the frequencies get too high. It they here maybe muffled some more or less high i could see it being nice.
other then that, great track, has a really nice feel to it =]

KKSlider60 responds:

Thank you, I can see why. :)
It could still work as a base ambiance for some creepy space fiction, lol

[{Squarion} - Misty Area]

It's really nice.

I really like the samples used for the intro, some industrial sounds.
Also really nice beat patters, how it switches into house for a bit, that's nice.
I really like the melody the most becasue I have never heard it before =]

The bassline needs work on the higher frequencies, it gets louder on the higher pitches. The drums on the fill sound raspy, try to master them. The snare could use some compression and cleaning up too.

Really nice track. Has a nice upbeat feel to it, but it could still use work.

[Borders]

Really chill!

I believe it would sound even better with lyrics =]
It's really good on it's own, sounds like it would be GREAT background music.

But without the lyrics it feels less "full" if you know what I mean...

Regardless great track!
4/5
9/10

PM me when you got the Vocal version up =]

KillTheTrucker responds:

Yeah, you're totally right. My delightful vocalist is in the middle of her exams right now, so when she's finished the track with vocals should be online (probably around Christmas).

Thanks for your review and your kind words :)

[3 Evil Pencils [DNB]]

It needs...

Mastering.
Compression.
Control.
The sounds are too loud and grainy. There is too many heavy and dark sound around each other so it just sounds like a bunch of noise. It need variety in terms of pitches and frequencies.
The drums I like hear some bongos or something in there, that is cool.
But it's a scary track overall...

3/5
7/10

empire00 responds:

I didn't pay attention to how this song sounds in high volume(created-uploaded on night time). I totally Agree with you, It needs A LOT of mastering.

[I'm Mchhh [D&B]]

Sounds sick!

That bassline and the drums sound like they have reverb on them, maybe too much.
I would really love to hear that bass be a lot more crisp. You know so it can be really nice and clean sounding, maybe touch up the mastering too.
The melody throughout the whole track is a nice touch and it helps if anything, yeah.
-But try layering synths for the lead so it's not so recognizable.

I really like the tone of this anyway, it sounds really dark and heavy.
Great track, but could be cleaned up a bit :P

4/5
8/10

Keep practicing, I see potential.

[NM - Antiskill Promo Mix]

Sounds great!

You chose some of my personal favorite tracks.
Perfects mix.
Thanks for using my work, much appreciated.

Now...I'm going to have to use this =]

MessanyRecordings responds:

Awesome mate.
If that is the case I may also make a mix with 3 of your House songs.

[Rapid Robot]

Formant.

Is the name of the eeeeeyyyyyaaaaayyyeee sound in there.
You used Fl studio.

Nijg responds:

I write my songs in original midi using Noteworthy Composer 2 and then I convert it to mp3 with FL Studio.

[~Delta~ Rain Forest (Remix)]

Great remix!

Really love the samples for the percussion.
Also everything flows very well together, the side chain is evident, but handled well.
Great job remixing the melody and the layering of the synths creates a great depth.
The bassline is mastered very well also.
At 1:57 I recognize some sounds, but from then on it sounds very professional.
Nice track.
5/5
10/10
Favoriting for sure.

[Black Cloud(Original)]

hmmmm.

Sounding pretty good. I'd work on the sounds used, and variety, adding more depth with more percussion and little sounds layered.

But I'm guessing your starting out.
Keep practicing and you'll get better =]
