[~Delta~ Hexagon (WIP)]

Sounds good man. Nice crisp kicks and the sidechain is nice on the synth.
I love the piano in the breakdown but not layered with the synths, sounds too rough towards the end.
The simplicity of the drop, the club like kick and square wave synth is good. I wouldnt add too much to that afterwards, besides some loops, hats/ rim shots, just claps/snares maybe.

aliaspharow responds:

I have to disagree with you this time. My mastering isnt the best, but with a little work this could become a very clean track. I usually manage with allot more instruments then this. I like the style and im gonna stick to it. Check out the update if you havnt, maybe you'll like it better now... or maybe you just need a bigger sub lol

[P4 - Irregular Heartbeat]

Love it!
Complex and layered very well. Although I can recognize many of the samples, i don't mind so. Great job on the melody and variety. Great Track!
Not many people can pull off liquid very well. Great job man!

Preyfour responds:

Liquid is fun. Thank you, good sir!

[KKS - Shards of Innocence]

WOW!
Awesome track. I love every single detail. i can tell a lot of time/energy was spent on these tracks.
You are amamzing yo produce so much so fast, you'd think that the faster you upload the less the quality of the track. But you put much effort in each track and I hear it here.
Love the flute and then the "marching" drums that come in later. Make it sound so damn epic and you know makes a lot of emotion.
Good job!

KKSlider60 responds:

Million thanks, man :D It started with something silly, not even figuring out what I was gonna do... then, the right guitar opened my mind to this beautiful world I imagined. It's great when there's so much symbiosis between our mind and the fantastic realms we are able to craft. ^^

[Welcome to my world - PRE]

Needs to be at least 20 secs longer, I mean it sounds really nice for what it is, but I feel I can be more satisfied and leave a better review if it was longer...
Sounds nice and calm, and the drums are clean also, but really wish it was longer, even as a preview. From what i hear now, its pretty basic, maybe expand on the piano more, pads would be cool too. Also let the drums/loops get more complicated.

b4ttle responds:

I know. I made it 20 seconds longer, and I can uload some time. But currently the new version doesn't sound right, I'm trying to fix something.

Thanks so much, I will take your ideas and hopefully put them in. (I always love putting in others ideas. :p)

['''Blessed''' [EK]]

Haha, pretty nice remix
But it sounds weird with a strong sidechain on it. Also the the claps could use some layering. And the downsweep is too shirt.
But other than that, you can't really go wrong with this melody, its fantastic.
Good remix.

Ekojo responds:

Wow we uploaded a remix of Blessed on the same day. That's kind of awesome. You're right though, you can't go wrong with the melody. Personally I kinda like the strong side chain but I think it could use a bit less. I hate the claps. It was just a bad choice on my part heh. Thanks for your review :)

[Warp Me In]

Nice!
Sounds pretty good so far.
I would say to work on layering sounds, just like around 2 min with the bells and synths, try to play around with variety an layering in the 1st part also. Adding filter effects and stuff.

Keep up the good work =]

AntQ responds:

Thanks for the input.
Yeah I just found out where the filter effects are and how to apply them just yesterday, over a month from when I posted this song. Haha, looks like I'll be going back and reworking some of this

[KKS - Elemental Mist]

Very chill.

So chill in fact, i can't stop listening.
I like how you kept all your cool ambient sounds in there, it gives it a really good depth.
Also you used some cool percussion. The crashes and reverse crashes are really big.
great mastering of the bass and drums. Great track, you did a really good job on this one.
5/5
10/10

KKSlider60 responds:

Thank you very much mate :D
Glad you enjoyed it

[- Push]

Awesome track

This is kind of what I'm trying to achiive with my track.
Something with a nice heavy dubstep beat, but also nice super-saw melodies.
This is really cool. Great mastering. Adding to my favorites.

The only thing is, I can't hear the sub bass, maybe it's my headphones; I'll listen again with better pair, but it seems it doesn't have that deep bass to give it weight...You know?

Regardless great use of piano as intro and outro =]
5/5
9/10

Or4nges responds:

I actually didn't want a boatload of bass in this song. Just enough to provide a floor for the mix. However if you listen to it on the right sound system (car, really bassy headphones/speakers etc.) it's got a great kick to it.

Thanks for the review man!

[JEBBAL - Menu Loop 2]

Interesting.

First thing I notice is the hats and cymbals bouncing between my ears. (Great effect)
The more complex fills that come in later in the loop are also a great way to add depth. The reverse cymbal sweep you introduce it with is a great touch =]
The snare could use another layer and less reverb, *well maybe not less reverb, but make it less evident that you just put a reveb on it* try tweaking it a bit more.
Also the kick could use another kick or 2 layered on it. The sub bass adds a nice depth, but maybe play with a subtle saw wave on top of it, give it some grime -just a little bit.

Over all nice, loop, I can see it being used in something.

Jebbal responds:

Eyyy glad you enjoyed this little loop of mine! Funny, I actually just opened the project file up the other day and started messing around again. I removed some of the reverb on the snare and remixed/layered the kick. Great minds think alike?

I'm going to start playing around with the bass soon, give it some of that grime you were talking about :)

Thanks for the review!
