tell you i wasn't a fan of your stuff at all really, but listening to this i'm getting down to it, but i really like your instrument choice. i can see you use FL but where do you get the swooshing sfx? it adds a cool effect. one thing this song lacks is uniqueness. the melody choice just doesn't stick with me. its more the choice of instruments, like i said, and the way you started out the song... (i think you should have continued in that direction btw) ... that hooked me.
great job nonetheless obviously. 5/5
if you'd care to, i have a new song i submitted last week. it'd mean a lot if you took a listen. thanks and keep these songs comin'

Well you took the time to tell me what you liked and didn't like so I'll take the time to see your stuff too. I didn't really have much effect on the melody because I wanted to keep the melody close to the original as it being a remix.
For the sweeps you can use anything that creates white noise. The right mixing and XY controls can get you the effect you want.

i think the biggest or maybe only problem is the recording quality of the vocals. i think you could have even fixed it with some clever mastering. its just that it doesn't match up with the quality of the rest of the piece. the composition of the song is good but vocals and perhaps even the tone of the singing messes things up a bit.
4/5

Well, as I've stated on my other name, I can't afford good equipment right now. We're poor, and writing music for free doesn't exactly make me some kind of a supestar. No, I was not off key. I've listened to it constantly, and I made sure it was on the right pitch. That's the first thing I concentrate on. Thanks for listening.

NO! don't remove this! this is seriously up in the top 15 songs i've heard on ng. so damn catchy. you really know how to master your drums. the hard snare that sounds like beatboxing is simply perfect. the little scratch thing panning around adds so much style to it. i love this. im not a fan of hiphop either so you really got a good one here.
5/5

its a common problem, i think we've all done it before XD but its stacking synths. there's such thing as too many synths at the same time. you need to work on balancing the sounds well so that certain things sit back and the ones that you want noticed, like the melody, sit forward. also the synths you have aren't the most original. work on making your own unique sounds, it adds style and makes it more interesting to listen to, resulting in a higher score perhaps!
good job on this though. 4/5

el cancion es bueno en conjunto, pero hay algunos partes que no mezclan juntos. por ejemplo, el canto a las 3minutos y nueve... fue - ehh no se` como decirlo en espanol pero fue "off".
y pude oir las palabras buenisimo, le di un 5!

lol, this was pretty sweet. it has many aspects of trance as well as DnB. i think its the amount of pads you have in the background and the fact that your bass is pretty mellow. it has its own feel to it though, i like it. the snares and hihats along with the compression changes were really cool, they all fit well in the end.
im about to submit my own DnB in a week or two. you mind swingin' by my page then? i'd appreciate it, you seem like you know your dnb.^^
5/5

you need to do a few things. make your own synths... we've all heard the one you used here. don't go too crazy on the kick, too loud can also be a bad thing. get some new instruments in there. ....aaaannnddd. uhm good luck, seems like you're going in a good direction. 4/5
mind taking some time to listen to my stuff? i am also in need of feedback. ^^

my expectations were low and some repetitive heavy metal song from the title. a little weird at first but then you hit us up with that nasty bass and syncopated drums... i think they were. the sfx you had in there were so cool and fit so well. i agree with Brazi below me. this will be underrated most likely just because of it's dirty sound. the dirty sound is what makes it though.
maybe it's just because i've been listening to it a lot lately, but i can definitely see this becoming a nice goa-psy trance. just a consistent kick and a rounded off bass- you got yourself a great song. there is nothing to improve on in this one. 5/5 and fav'ed

"i agree almost completely with Neon-star"
this could definitely fit perfectly in a town in Harvest Moon or a Draw the dot through a maze game. i think its mainly the percussion that doesn't sound like country. or maybe its the harmonica sounding instrument. idk, its something i've never heard in country but reminds me so much of the happy videogame setting.
5/5- very well mastered.

its not really classical at all. i see few aspects of classical music in here. its more rockish... at any rate. pretty cool song. i think you should use the bass better, its the same problem i had, just doing the octave note down in a low note. also you could have used instruments better to get it more intense.
4/5 ps: why is it so compressed?
-crepth
Author's Response:
Compressed due to the Newgrounds 44.1Khz policy
However, you have just struck me with that one aswell. Appears I can recompress the song for better audio quality while keeping at the 44.1Khz, I feel like an idiot not knowing this, Which i will now do aslong as I keep it within the 8MB limit.
