[Sound of my Dream (RW remix)]

AMAZING REMIX

This is so awesome, hard to find good music like this anymore. I really love the bassline, and the kick-WOW-
This track is really good, wish i could produce music this hard! haha!
I love the vocals, i love how they revers, thats a really cool effect.
The melody also, it is so uplifting. Makes me wanna jump!

Great job.
I would say work on the mastering just a little, bit so its not so loud, the vocals also diminish after the drop at the first drop. Or maybe it doesn't matter. its ok man, dont worry about that. unless you want us to know what she is sayng. I think its a really small problem.

Indigorain responds:

Haha, first of all, thanks a lot! :D
I totally agree with you, the mastering could use some work, but I was kinda getting tired of it :P
You're right about the volume, I did turn the vocals up a little in volume after the drop, but It was indeed just a little too soft. Small changes, might change it someday soon :D
Anyway, thanks a big lot for the review and the criticism man, I really really appreciate it! :D

[Solar Energy]

Simply...

BEAUTIFUL!
This track really captures a great sense. I A-FUCKING-DORE the samples/synths.
They wonderful. especially the ones at 1:10----dude, teach me!

Haha. This track is so catchy so mystic. I really do like it. The vocals are a great touch.
Everything is just so upbeat but enchanting at the same time. I love the bassline, i think this is the best part.
I just wish you used a different part of the vocals, if you could.

The only negative, is i think the Kick has a little bit too much bass, Maybe EQ it out. Its a small about too much, especially in the beginning.
Other then that.....Im fucking downloading this shit!
5/5
9/10

Stavier responds:

I really am glad you liked the rhodes at 1:10. It's actually rhodes with a liquid FX, reverb, & some echoing :D I usually am not the person to make relaxing songs, I like to make songs that just pop-out, super dance, loud & dancey, including the same for hip hop, almost, but I thought experimenting would be nice for me to do. I think the vocals were my favorite because it creates a motion in the song where it hypnotizes you to dance to it, to relax with it, & just go with the flow. Lately, I've been making sure my bass in my Dance songs are good cuz a good bass makes the party even better :) I get what you're sayin' about using different parts of the vocals. I also agree with the kick. Being both an Electronic artist & Hip-Hop, I'm use to a strong foundation in the beat, but I still agree with the kick, could've been less bass punchy. Thanx for the review/dl/ratings, appreciate it!!!:D

[Undercover - Dj ReVeRsE]

Needs work.

It has a really basic start. it has nice hats and backgrounds, i just think it sounds too basic, try giving tht kick some punch, and i don't mean add a Soundgoodizer on it.
The structure is just not there. You need to listen to real techno/ trance and notice, that it has a breakdown, melody change, and drop.
this track has that...kind of.
Also try to master this track. Go in the mixer and check the volume, make sure not everything is the the same volume.

It just needs work man.

Dj-ReVeRsE responds:

yeah, I know it needs work... I spent a lot of time on the beat and then couldn't really be bothered making melodies and stuff and kinda rushed it... like the melody at 1:10 really sucks! but I thought id upload it anyway, cos i liked the beat :P thanks for the detailed review though! :)

[KKS - 03 Towards the Emptiness]

this is excellent.

Sounds more like a score then anything. great use of classical instruments to create this effects. it seems very traditional, they way this sounds with all the strings and bells.
Very well done, sir!

KKSlider60 responds:

Thank you :D
Expect more classical-inspired scores in a near future. Stay tuned ;)

[KKS - Subconscious Mind]

this is interesting...

haha, i don't mean that in a bad way.
An interesting take onto the theme. I like it. it is very cool.
The sound effects and choir is a great use.
Although the reverse of the glass sounds or whatever it is is a bit repetitive, if you could change it up a bit with more effects it would be more trippy.

KKSlider60 responds:

That effect was actually an experiment, and I was so excited to use a reversed sound I totally just spammed it. XD It's one of the main elements that gives character to this track, though, and I'm not sure if I can "fix" this minor flaw without compromising the whole.
Oh well, till next time.

Thanks for your kind review :)

[= Submerge =]

VARIETY!

That is what i love about this track. It has the same rhythm and this track has a nice depth. Also i like how you bring some of the melodies back.
Even though some may say there are loops, sure, but they work layered like you made them.
I say its a great track. Nice bassline and chords, they all work VERY WELL together =]

The only thing that seems it had the least amount of attention was the bassdrum and percussion...but that is ok man, track is about 30% drums anyway.

inhstudios responds:

haha, thanks :)
i appreciate your review.
Just to let you know, I never used one loop in any of my songs, ever...
I sequence or record everything I create....

[Abridged]

Holy shit these reviews....

reading them all is like the university exams, haha- except more less boring.

Man, this track has a awesome intro, Except, i think you must work on some organizing. There is a cool melosy and chords, then the kick and bass seems random, a little bit, But very empty. Also work with some more variety on the overall percussion.

5kyLight responds:

Thanks. And yeah the reviews are HILARIOUS
I will agree with you that this song is not nearly as good as it could be, I made it a while ago and it was my first attempt at this genre. :P

Thanks for the feedback though. Also: "more less boring"? lolwut

[Cyprus (SkyLight Remix)]

Wow, guy below me is a little harsh.

Yo man, this track is nice. Its atmospheric and like a nice chillout track. Reminds me of an artist called Blackmill.

I really like this track, because its not too crazy, i could use this to help me fall asleep, =]

So i say the guy below me is being a dick because, well (I don't know him/her) but they are expecting too much. So this is in the "Miscellaneous" category. I'm not exactly sure what a track needs to have a 4.5/6.0 in this category -haha!
Yeah, man i know how much it sucks to have all the memory lost on a PC, something happen to me after using a Russian site for music, Russian people's computer always gettin fucked, thats why they torrent the best security software. lol.

But yeah man, this is pretty dam good, for a browser music maker.
Great job man. Memmory and software might be lost, but the skill is still there.

5kyLight responds:

Thanks! :D

[Eyes Open (FINAL)]

Very Nice!

Where did you get the main sample?
I really like the drums and the loops used, Although I think the drums and the bassline are a bit loud compared to the main lead.
Otherwise, very groovy and simple!
good job!

5kyLight responds:

What do you mean the main sample? lol PM me about it.
And thanks for the review! :D

[-= Cheating The Plan =-]

Even though we live together and i can just ask...

I thought it would be more admirable if i just took the pleasure of downloading this track.
I know you said, your not too proud of this track, but god dammit i stop "singing?" it.
Especially that drop at 0:55. "Tish!, Wow.....Wowowowow, Tish!, (high) Weeew, Weweweweweeeeeew, Tish!, Ayayayayaaaa!"
-Yo that just gets me every time!

Keep up the good work- yada yada yada, you don't need me tellin you all that mess.
I just wanted to intrigue you with my dubstep sound effect beatbox skill, haha!
Keep it HQ. Keep it Free, Keep it Coming!

TheBiocide responds:

Thanks man, I appreciate that! I'm glad we went back the other day and listened to it. I really might take up your idea to go back and make a VIP version of this :)
