[DKC2 - Victory Dance [Demo]]

nice

I like it, the melodies are really cool, the problem is that it doesn't have a lot of power. The whole song feels like its a long buildup for some raging beat that never really comes. I think you should build into a more complex drum beat with a strong offbeat bass. Its still really cool though, nice job

UnrealReno responds:

Thanks for your review!

I'm going to work on that indeed, changing beat, adding more stuff.. It's kind of simple, just only the basic idea!

[Walk Across the Sky]

wow

Excellent. Professional sound throughout; the piano coming in sounds great, and I love the background strings. Its all sounded incredible, its a shame you aren't releasing full songs anymore

DJ-Nightmare responds:

Im releasing full songs, just not for free. So if u think about it, less than 3 dollars for a song isnt really asking much but, if 100 people buy it for 3 dollars, i make 300. so yea i'd be happy =D

[<--Silver Rain-->]

Cool

I agree with f-777, the piano feels a little choppy and out of place because of the longevity of the ambiance, so I would add reverb to make it feel a little more in place with the rest of the song.
In general though its a really cool sound, nice job!
Check out my latest song if you get a chance (paradise island)

DjCompass responds:

I'm glad you liked it, I'll defenitly give that a try.
Will do.

[Milk{Deep Blue}]

very nice

another great song
as always your use of pads is incredible, really sets up the song well. I also really like the strong offbeat bass, adds a cool trance feel to it
only area I would say you could improve would be with the first fade out. In alot of your songs you simply have the parts die off, and I think you could work on making transitions a little more intresting. Although the one at 3:10 was awesome :D
Anyway, really nice job. 5 and 10. Check out my new song if you get a chance!

Mrmilkcarton responds:

Everyone seems to think its a pad.... That transition confused me as to how I could make a good transition from this booming Trance sound to a soft ambient sound. Glad you noticed my lack of skill in that form of transition lol. Thanks for the review.

[.:ZX - Energy:.]

hah nice

This is really cool
The buildups are awesome, and i actually like the sliding square wave, while it sounds a tad out of place it still works well, and I love the slide back into the beat
nice job, 5/5 and 9/10
check out my new song (paradise island) if you can

DJ-X-POSED responds:

Thanks!

I'll check yours out.

[Clocktown - LoZ:Majora's Mask]

cool

Its a cool remake of the song, and you got all the melodies great, its just very very repetitive. If you don't want to add more variety, I would say you should just make it shorter, it really doesn't vary much in the 4 minutes
nice job though

G0rd0 responds:

thank you :D

G0rd0 Out.

[sCitChY]

dude

Damn man this is really cool
There are some parts that aren't so hot, but some sound REALLY good. My favorite is the 2 or 3 seconds starting at :20, sounds SOO good. 2 minutes also sounds really good, I think if you took the highlights from this song and put them together, it would be something really really cool. Only a nine cause there really isn't a melody and its so disjointed
5/5

beast9368 responds:

Thanks for the review, i might end up fixing this one up.

["Flying Away" - F-777]

nice

Damn dude this kicks ass
nuf said
although, I think you should at least give it some closure, I think you do the song injustice by fading it out, If you don't plan on extending it thats cool but you should make a solid ending i think

F-777 responds:

Ye ill make a better ending =).

Thanks so much for the review!

[Techno Beach rave]

good ideas

I think this song is very unique, and has some very cool ideas. All in all, the parts sound good, i especially like the section starting at about :42. However, the different sections are fairly disjointed; there isn't really any transitions inbetween parts, things just kind of fade out, and I think thats something you could work on. Like I said, I like it overall, just some work on transitions might be good

beast9368 responds:

Thanks i was hoping to get some advice. i will deff. work onthat in my next song.
thanks for the 8/10 :p

[Milk{Trance04}]

nice!

Damn this just sounds awesome. I especially love the drums that come about 1 minute in, and the change at 1:35 sounds great. From that point on it doesn't change much though, so the only criticism I would say is try to get rid of some of the repetitiveness near the end.
5 and 9
If you can check out my song Haze and Waste, I'm curious to see what you think of it

Mrmilkcarton responds:

Thanks, yeah I know about the repetition.
