yeah this is some good shit man, good tune.
now i dont know if you did it on purpose but the bass doesnt really sound ehm.. bassy. missing low frequencies badly.
feels like you wanted to bring that in later on but it never really happens, sounds like it at the end but then it just stops...
other than that its fckin A, you should make a longer one out of this:D
the vst i used was supposed to be string harmonic synthr, i think i did a good job, i like the end result, though i REALLY raised the low freq in EQ. it should be pretty bassy.
yep
what you're talking about is becoming autodidact. Music is - for some people - something you can learn to make yourself.
and you're getting there, i can hear that this song is pretty harmonic. the melodies you use are not too simple, especially the bassline is good. i like how you managed to have multiple feels to the track. the use of transitions is also pretty decent, except at 1.30 where you bring the other melody back out of nowhere... yeah no dont do that :P
also, electronic music isnt only about melodies and song structure. its also about how you work with sounds - which im sure you have been doing, but it could be alot better. just play with buttons some more, try some more effects.. you can develop a better sound along the way.
just giving you advice as far as it helps.
Not really autodidactic. That would indicate that I was learning music theory by myself instead of learning it from an instructor. I'm talking about NOT learning music theory, since it's very involved and can get incredibly complicated for even simple songs like this. For a music hobbyist, I think it's completely irrelevant. The most important thing by FAR is developing your ear, which doesn't necessarily have anything to do with theory.
I personally didn't think the transition at 1:30 seemed out of place, but that's just because I had listened to it over and over again. And that same transition repeats two other times in the song (i think).
Thanks for the advice! I'm always open for constructive criticism.
good job on this
fcking strong beat, nice bass.. everything seems perfectly balanced and still punching, so good job on the mastering.
couldnt really enjoy the melodies (personal taste) in the start, but the one you bring in after the breakdown halfway through made up for it :D
piano is also nice.
one more thing.. i don't know how you compose songs these days, but in this song you build things up too fast.
you need to try to drag things out longer, for instance have a longer buildup to dropping the beat. i know its hard to get that done right - its my main problem in making music right now - but its essential.
its all about dynamics in a genre thats made to get people to fuckin move. not that you're doing it all wrong, it just could be better.
just some constructive criticism.. overall i enjoy this.
thanks for your criticism, i am having problem with building up the intro and such too fast. i just dont want the litsener to get bored. i will think about this alot more in the future. thanks again ^^

yes sir
you're using great sounds but you do have some mastering issues.
Not saying I don't:P mastering is a fuckin' pain from time to time.
it's not that bad though, i mean, i can still hear every sound at any point.
okay i'm going to try to criticize on that right now, might be that if you try my advice you'll come to learn that i'm full of shit:P
mostly the drums sound overcompressed and the main melody (which is nice and freaky haha) would do better more distorted and verby. Probably. At least verby. It just snaps out because it sounds so dry. Less mid tones, maybe.. maybe a bit less volume...
i'm just guessing a bit what could be done to improve it.
I'm kind of a DnB fan, but more in the direction of neurofunk, I prefer sharp basslines going crazy on the filter more than a reese... so if i'd comment on that i'd just say lose the whole thing:P but i guess for this song it works.
Anyway the overall sound to it is brutal, as long as it has that in this style I think it's great. So it is.
But uh, a stainless steel condom? that's gotta be some awful fucking right there.
Thanks for the review! Yeah I had huge problems with the drums, by themselves they sound fantastic, but under everything else they sound over-compressed, squashed and drowned out. I couldn't seem to bring them out without them taking over the whole track. Also, I do agree with you about the melody, but I still wanted it to sound fairly "sharp." But yeah, it is a little dry, I probably should have but some reverb on it.
I like all types of DnB; neurofunk gets me going too! But obviously that style is quite different to this. I have tried making music that is more or less neurofunk, but most of it epic fails.
Oh, and the name wasn't my idea. (Don't ask)
Thanks again for the review! Gona check out your stuff :)
yes and no
yeah i gotta give this some points because of the acid:D i like.
but the drum pattern sounded kind of weird, i mean i see what you're trying to do but it's not really flowing. and it's too loud in relation with the rest.
and then my brain freezed
Yay, I like acid probably as much as you do, the assaultcube samples cant really stand on their own, so i just had to add something to make it sound more "full" and glitchy drum was the solution
youre doing it wrong
okay it didn't start off too bad, but then the bass kicks in.
the bass sounds waaaay too distorted and unclear, yet its driving away everything else, like the drums, which not flowing very well. Maybe turning the volume of the 2nd snare down, and putting an EQ on the drums... for starters.
some of the synths you used, cant really here them well, arent too bad.
the melody on the end was kind of childish.
how long did you take making this man, like 3 minutes:P cant hear effort in this anywhere.
its supposed to sound childish, the melodies are from 2 german child-songs.
it took me a while but in the end i distortioned it everything so it got that unclear.. and it is also supposed to be that unclear and distortioned, there are in total around 4-5 EQ's lol
thanks for the review
i got a christmas vibe
with the bells and shit:P
no i get what kind of emotions you wanna get across and it's working.
good job on the drums, it's like trance vs hiphop.
did like the softer lead better than the main one. if you get what i mean. maybe you should look into the melody, get them together a bit more.
it's got a full sound to it, but not enough different sounds. Maybe if you'd get some vocals, that should solve it right away.
liked the silence you dropped in just like that at 1.35. Kicks back in hard.
Du du duu...
I know exactly what you mean ^^
The previous version had vocal samples in it. and the softer lead was mixed with the main one, no kicks, and louder march drums. so it was good to hear but not good to record on...so I modified it to best fit the lyrics I'm bout to record.
Thanks for the feedback check out The Life I Live that I also submitted today.
yeah good
haha that beat drops like a sledgehammer.
gotta say i was expecting some brutal shit but then you brought this happy tune in.
not really the kind of thing i enjoy but i'm not rating on personal taste. it's a good melody standing strong in there, i can hear that alright.
nice job on this one.
im not really getting which hardstyle vocal you mean, im hearing this weak female choir somewhere backing it up at the end, is that what you mean? because that doesnt seem out of place to me
Well i think i was thiking about another file :S yer but that one is out of tune :L oh well glad you liked it :)

here comes the critic
i like the bass you used, the beat, which is basic but hard, with the rides n shit..
few problems i believe im hearing though.
it just jumps from the one thing to the other thing just like that sometimes.
while other times you really had some strong transitions. hmm.
and the trumpet march is completely irrelevant to anything in this song man:P
same goes for the strings that go with em in the start. and after that it just jumps to a completely different melody.. thats what i mean.
but if you think its perfect... matter of taste i guess.
the main tune is nice and uplifting, gotta give you that, bit to loud maybe, thats technical shit im not gonna bitch about that now:P
so overall its definetely worth some points.
thnx 4 your comment!
I'll try to let my next songs sound better with better transitions ;-)
have you listened my other songs already?

i remember i used to love this song, especially the noisia remix.. it was just crying for a dubstep remix!
nice beat here, only i was hoping for a complete turn-around when the beat drops, just like in the original.. here the tune just keeps going.
apart from that i gotta say i love it.
the bass sounds alot like the original thing, its got that stadium sound to it but raw as fuck at the same time.
keep working on this one man, could be big.
and oh, if you're not going to include the "AAAAAAAH" in the full version i will personally come to you and put your head on a stick.
jk.. or am i?
of you could find that AAAH i would have agressive sex to you:O
but yeah i could maybe throw a little difference in the breakdown
great idea actually
anyways thanks for an awesome review
