ahhh.... yeah +.+ umm
this isn't really trance man, it's more ambient i'd say. n' i don't think it is necessary to post this as a song. it would however make the greatest background mood setting music for a video game like Sword of Mana. it just lacks change to make for an interesting submission.
4/5 because it was mastered well and fulfilled the objective of setting a mood.

classic style
this has a very nice melody and style of picking. good recording quality and mastering. i think you should just work on better clarity of your singing as well as better sustained notes, thats really all that i think could be improved here :]
nice song from you yet again, 5/5. keep them coming.

i actually think the clarity of the vocals on this track iare better than any I've done prevoiusly.
you want sustained notes, try listening to my other acoustic stuff:)
this is very enjoyable!
man. at first i thought this would be one of those really loud annoying songs from the beginning impression with the weird distorted kick. but then... then wow. it all hit you. the guitar did sound pretty cool. and i liked the other solo that came in a while later. in that section i really liked that chord progression. it was nice when the strings came in with the quiet bg. amazing drums in this song too, with those you could get techno/rock/dnb/industrial, which is a very original combination.
5/5 and 9/10 from me. and if you like techno come check out my page and hit me up with a rate/review, i always enjoy and appreciate feedback!^^

this isn't that bad...
very cool background synth. i think that main instrument cound have been toned down a lot to be less resonant. i loved how it was sort of jazzy it gave it a cool feel... ravey but jazzy at the same time. i felt that it could have used more diversity, overall and with the instrument. but it was a great song none the less. i liked the wooop sound with the kick. one last thing i would have changed would have to be the bass. it didn't change at all and i could just barely hear it.
5/5 and 8/10 from me. check out my stuff if you'd like. the ones i have up now aren't mastered well except for sequential.

nice job man...
originality-7- i felt that the 1-3-5 riff is still a little boring to my preference. it does however work well in the song. maybe stay away from piano a bit...its to basic if you know what im getting at.
diversity-7- it was the same chord progression the whole way through (regardless if its the one i hate or not) just with different short melodies attached to the sides. the piano got tiresome and monopolized the the listeners attention for the duration of the song.*in nerdy voice* ha.
clarity-9- everything was pretty well mastered here. i enjoyed the quiet strings in the bg. the only thing i had a problem with was the kick, too fuzzy. speaking of the drums...did you have a stutter beat in there? it sounded cool. one last comment about the clarity, it would have sounded cool if you switched up the pan. the pan being close and far, not left and right. it would have helped make the audio more interesting to listen to.
effort-10- i can tell you put a lot of work mastering into this. and all of the tiny details in the bg.
overall-8- (usually i just take the mean of the scores for the overall rating)
4/5 and 8/10...(4/5 only because of it was just your typical song style, nothing really jumped out at me and made me say, "WOWIE ZOWIE!!! HOLY COW!" or something along those lines.^^)

hmm, the same chord progression? i dont know exactly how to switch the chord progression without making a really ugly transition. i did variate the strings though, playing diffrent versions of the progression, but i guess that wasn't enough for you haha jk
im sorry if you didnt like the piano. i am personally a big fan of it, and like i told you in person, i wanted it to be the main instrument of the song. i dunno,is it that you didnt like the sound of it itself or is it that you didn't like the reusing of it?
cus if its the latter, i recomend you do make some changes to Wrong Child, bucko! lol, *also in nerd voice* rofl.
i personally dont like panning, but i only know how to make it pan left and right. how do you make it pan close and far? do you mean like turning the filter cut off low so it sounds distant and faded? i dont categorize that as clarity, though.
as for the 4/5, 8/10, and non Wowie Zowie-age, im sorry that you didnt enjoy the song as much as i did. i think this is fivin' material, but thats just my opinion of my opinion, lolol. i am glad that you gave me a 10 for effort though :D :D :D
so, which is your favorite song out of mine? i hope i didnt shoot you down too much lol, oh and btw, get on AIM
never heard anything like this i think...
did you use a Yamaha keyboard for this. i have the same phone ring sound on mine. speaking of which i think the ring went on a little too long. i dont expect this song to go far for one reason...the bass was to blotchy. i had a song with a not so well mastered bass and the dl's aren't looking good.(i've learned my lesson) if that were better and the SFX were toned down at parts to reduce muddiness, i could see this going very far. the guitar was okay i think but it was the same as the rest as the song....it needed more spice. like if theres going to be a solo i felt it should stand out to the rest of the song.
4/5 8/10 from me. i can see you have a lot of experience under your belt so im not going to soften up the criticism for ya hereas if you were some noobie. great song besides those few minor things i was saying. please keep em coming!
-crepth
No, that sound is actually a standard 3XOsc preset in Fl. About the bass... I dunno I kinda like it, it's like this because I tried using an effect which I haven't used before. The guitar's the same possibly because of my lazyness^^ This song was almost finished quite a long ago, I only did some shortening and structural tweaking yesterday. Guess I didn't put enough effort into it.
Thanks a lot for the advice. Bsides it seems you forgot to click the 4 coz it's still at zero...
Here I swear that my next song is going to be Reason-made.
not bad really.
pretty simple synths...i would suggest looking into more interesting synths for future projects.(i've been looking into some new ones myself).
kinda repetitive, actually really repetitive...so yeah. i know it was supposed to be dance and all but if that was the intended style i think it was an attempt that fell a little short; needed more kick and beat to it.
pretty good clarity, i can tell you put a lot of time into it. i liked the slight delay you put on the leading synth, or perhaps it was just reverb.~
nice effort. i believe w/ some more noticeable melodies, this song could go far. so nice job on this man.
check out my songs if you'd like. I've got a new one pretty soon; hopefully my best^^ 5/5 and 9/10 from me. ill look at your page periodically for new ones. good job.

I agree with you. It's very basic and that was why I never released it. hehe. It was really an experimental piece created while I was learning how to use Fruity Loops (which I stopped using once I found out about Reason 2.5). Thanks for the review.
well its ironic...
its ironic b/c the name of the song is reverb yet the song lacked it completely! ADD REVERB^^. also make it more melodic and add bass. i didn't know what you were going for with this one. it had a cool feeling in the beginning though, so thumbs up for the mood.
keep em comin'4/5 and 7/10...and if ya get a chance, check out my songs on this account and BMC-Audio too. (on that one, my songs have mawkeetus written in front of the title.) thx.

waaaaayy to generic...
this is a great song, but so generic! i have come to hate this chord progression. it was used in BassHunter and many, many other songs. lol, basically all of Dimrain47's! I've noticed that you always use that same syncopated bass in many of your songs, try switchin' it up every now and then. there isn't much you can do with this progression, melody wise. this needed to changed from the original idea to make it more appealing. also more kick would have been nice.
this was a great song, don't get me wrong. but it was the same old story i keep hearing. i must say i enjoy all of your other ones much more, stick with those.
-crepth
beautiful song!!
is it, "Bass up to the top. i like to beat that pasty ronda"? lol. i couldn't tell. beautiful vocals though and sickening melody when it came in. was this a remix? 5/5 from me. keep these rave-type songs comin' i think they do best with dl's and stuff on this page.
