a lot better

This is sounding much better. What I noticed early on when I listened to it the first time was that the bass should have been a bit more moving throughout the piece, along with the sudden cut-offs with it. If you meant to do that, and you want it that way, a cymbal crash would be great when you do that.

Another thing-I've done this myself-make sure when you record it that you make sure that at the end of it isn't looping back the beginning of the song. Try to hit record just right, I guess.

Anyways, you are improving.

irush responds:

Thanks for the review mate. The tip you gave me about using the line cell or none helped me a bunch.

pretty nice

Well, you are the first person that I've heard actually playing their sax for newgrounds.

Can you do one thing for me? Please work on your altissimo notes for me? They were way out of tune, and kinda hurt my ear. Yeah, I know I can barely do them myself, but I haven't had the balls to record myself playing for other people to hear me screwing around with my alto. Like I asked in the forum, what kinda sax is that? I mean, what brand and junk? I'm a little conneseur of saxes. I guess, if I even spelled that word right ( I probably didn't). Anyways, have a good day man!

TheLobsterman responds:

yeah dude my altissimo is really wonky, but like i said it was just me practicing, and i was recording an audition, and my warm up got recorded too. Its a Kielworth Tenor Sax (professional) and i have a gold plated dave guardala michael brecker II mouthpiece

Eh...

Personally, I like my remix better...but, I still love this song, so I have to give you a 5/5 and a 10/10.

I also appreciate how you put an entirely different view on the song than I did.
Could you give a look at my version and compare em?

MC BigBoy

Yourz-Truly responds:

XD i liked ur version to but i think we have to diff styles so cant rele comment on much if u get wat i mean

I'm lovin it.

Dude. I'm lovin the deep trance stuff. I wish I could make this kinda stuff, but I don't think I'm cut out for it. Eh. Oh well.

Nice job on the song. I like the fade-away ending.

5/5
10/10

Kr1z responds:

You reconize it!
I plan on releasing more Christian Music if you'd like to join me!
Let me know if you think of another one that I could do!

very nice

Well, for your first submission to NG, I would give it a higher score. But for NG in general, I will have to give you a 7/10.
Since the other people gave you a 1, I'll give you a 5. This song's intro could use work since half the zero voters listen to the first 10 seconds of the song.
Anohter thing you could work on is the length of the song. I don't tend to make 5-10 minute songs, becaues the people on here get bored pretty easily. So, try to introduce those sounds ealier and take out some of that middle stuff that repeats over and over.
Sorry if I butchered that song for ya. I don't think I did, but...yeah.
Sounds pretty promising in the future for you. Keep makin music, as they say.

MC BigBoy

would you take a look at my latest song, Small town? It's a little ways down the list of newest submissions, and if it doesn't, click on my name Yodamanjaro and there on my artist page you can click on the song. Should say MC BigBoy--Small Town.

silkng responds:

Hey Yoda,

I'll submit some shorter songs too. But sometimes I get carried away - I do feel that most of my songs grow on you but maybe I'm biased!

wow. nice song. sounds like a club song.

I love it at 0:17. "What the crap," I think to myself. why can't i make this kind of electronica? My stuff sounds dark, but this sound like dancing at the club. Maybe i'm thinkin this because it's late. maybe its not.
at any rate, the only thing that i didn't prefer was at 2:33 and on with the upper voice goin up and down a half step or so. I think it didn't sound just right, but hey. It's not my song. and it could be becuase it's late out. that too.
anyways, I was wondering if you could give my latest submission, TranceStorm, a look at. A review would be nice, but you don't have to.

another thing: if you want to work on any stuff together, give me a PM.

so here it is:
10/10
5/5

k-309 responds:

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I had been listening to it the whole night i was working on it, but it got to the point where i had heard it too many times to tell if it was on tune or not. I should have taken a break before posting.
I shall change that!

Thanks for the review.
I wouldn't mind a collaberation as well. sounds fun. Got any ideas? Just PM me if so.

I agree to the guy below me

Yeah. it's too short. You should have made the whole song and then submitted it to NG. I had a demo, but was missing the meldoy. The song was at least 2 minutes long.
But yeah. I would probably have voted much higher than a 2 if you had something else in it. Just what you gave me let go of the whole "give me more of it" kinda thing. A good intro, buildup, this, and inst. break, this again, and then some closure and you might have an amazing song. A demo in my book should have at least one minute to it, depending on the genre. In your case, Dance, you should have at least one minute. Sorry for the review, has to be done.

ErikPaladin responds:

No problem man.

The song is intended to be short, because this is NOT suposed to be a loop. It's a demo.
This is the main part of a incoming song.

Thanks a lot for this constructive review, mate!

that sucks

Yeah. I just got up and got ready to go to classes and I heard this...I'm feeling tired again. That's the only downfall of this song, which really isn't one at all. lol
yeah. i'm a nerd, like the other half of ng members...

anyways, I love your song. It's very good. 12 hours striaght? Wow. It's some pretty good stuff.

would you care to listen to my newest song, TranceStorm? I'm trying to get some good input on it, so...yeah.

a'ight, here are the scores:
5/5
10/10
downloaded! yay!

pitbulljones responds:

haha bless you, knocked you back to beddy bo's have i XD Studying is the right way to go my friend, knowledge is power and all that. I'm glad you liked the song. No not 12 hours straight more like 2 hours. Anyways thanks very much for the review. I'll listen to your song.

pitters

Wow.

I agree with all of the men below me.
Electronica is generally at tempos 135 to 145. (beats per minute)
Dance is sometimes pushed up to 150, while hardcore goes 160-180.
(how I know this, don't ask. I know my tempos)
If you don't understand this, give me an PM, I'll explain it to you more in depth.
If you've got FL Studio, put it down to about 145 if you want to go a little fast.
Question: If you want to be a raver (song title), how in the ******* are you supposed to dance this fast? Is this a rave on E? I wouldn't know, but I'm sure someone on NG knows...just curious...just joking with you. :)
It has it's perks, but still needs a lot of work. Yeah. My first song, Frantic, is literally a piece of crap. If you don't believe me, listen to it yourself.
After a few months, I became more used to making songs and my music skill has increased and my latest submission called TranceStorm is really complex compared with my first batch of songs.

I can see you being really good with making some good ol' techno/industrial, but I guess you have to start somewhere...

cnshadow responds:

thanks for the response, really didn't expect 4 reviews in less than 24 hours ^.^
