[Strings of Death]

nice

i wouldnt really call it ambiant, and i wouldnt really call it strings of death lol

however its pretty cool, sounds professional (the guitaring) and you did a good job.

(even tho i don care for guitar music)

Bobhellbringer responds:

it isnt really ambient its more calm and idk why i called it Strings of Death lol

[Undercrust excerpt 3]

not fast enough

if you were gonna keep the main beat and everything, you shouldhave added some FX and way better drums, that are harder. Idk for a dnb this was just not fast enough for me, and it was not good enough to be so repetitive like that.

pretty good job, but the best is the first part

philjo responds:

O.O never responded to this review, sorry mate. Well, here it is! MAN this track is OOOLLD! SOO OLD. thanks mate for all the advice and well not too bad a score for something soo old of mine =P see ya later xD

[Undercrust excerpt 2]

uh

still in the wrong catagory, however if u wanted it to be more DNB, it wouldhave sounded BADASS if like 4 repeats into the song it made a drumroll into an awesoem drumline, it wouldhave went well with that.

now this isnt as good as the first exerpt, but it got a lil darker.

in fact the first part blows this one away.

philjo responds:

this is definately drumnbass, listen to the drum pattern and the bass! its mellowed drumnbass, that gets heavier and heavier. thx for this review -phil

[Undercrust excerpt 1]

love it

I really love the effects, and i love that second version of the main synth, it really gets me lost (like trance NOT dnb)

i really like, enough to look past the fact that its very repetitive and its in the wrong catagory lol

damn good job, this is really "pretty" and i don know if thats what you were going for, but i really like it.

philjo responds:

hehehe, damn, im glad u like it! Its actually one of my first tracks, and the three parts are all in the same song, linked by some weird sounds! as i said previously, our opinion on what is trance/DnB is very different. My opinion wont soon change, due to the fact that ive been educated some what by my aunt, who is a DnB DJ and knows whats what. not to worry, we cant agree on everything....glad you enjoyed this thanks a lot for reviewing!

[Worse ways to end a day]

weird

The claps sound a lil weird idk if i like them.

I like the beginning synth, then how you changed it to the bass then added them both together, that worked pretty well, sounded kinda dark.

idk if this can be considered trance, if it is, its like the oppisite Dark trance, or Drance lol.

I do some things like this.

why does this sound like it came off MTV music generator 2 LOL idk its jus the bassline that sounds like that.

btw when u had the leading drums coming in it got REALLY distorted at 2:04

good job, with some flaws.
nice new, different sound.

not great, but its pretty good.

WizardSleeve responds:

yeah this is far from my greatest track, and no it is not trance... its trance and break as i stated in the decription, but there is no breakbeat section on the site to upload music to.

I created the bassline in 3xosc but didn't really phatten it up that much, it doesn't need it for this kind of tune.

I haven't noticed any distortion on the drums but i got big speakers connected to my computer, i really need to get a decent set of moniters to get the levels right for all users.

Thanks for your comments

[4 Tha People]

Different

Well it certainly has a different feel from any things i hear usually.

when the drums kicked in i thought it was gonna be awesome, but then it was jus

Snare -----X---X
Kick X------X--

u know what im talking about haha.

it was pretty cool tho, jus kinda slow from what the reverb suggested.

I LIKED THE VOCAL, that was awesome, i really did not expect that, that added a point onto ur score lol that was really perfectly in there.

(the second vocal was kinda annoying tho)

the second part after the annoying vocal sounded pretty tight, i liked the synth.

Good job

WizardSleeve responds:

Cool glad you liked it. Its lighter than my usual D+B thats why i kept the beat quite basic.

You should take a listen to my tune WAIGFW, its got a mix of Trance, D+B, and hardcore all in one, and i personally think its the best tune i have uploaded.

Your reviews are much apreciated, thank you.

[Sleeping Baboons]

NICE

this is ambiant my friend, catagorise it as ambiant, i REALLY liked the waves, VERY nice, idk how u got that noise.

(didnt care for the packman noise tho)

that was really cool and relaxing.

but (yes there is always a but)
many of the FX were displeasing with the music (the packman one and the high guitar one)

the other FX went good with it.

try mixing it up a bit, and u couldhave taken a sound different from the others, (like some kind of synthstring mix) and put it over everyhting else with a new melody, that wouldhave been cool

overall good tho

philjo responds:

Thank you pandora, you by the way are a good critic for a 14 year old, man, you got some ideas.. awesome. sleeping baboons is quite an old piece of music, and i was tired when i made it lol...i used a "malstrom" on reason and mucked around with the modulators and the pink/white noise sound patches, that got me those wind and wave noises which i am proud of hehe thanks mate
later

[Glass Machine]

cool

pretty cool what u use to make ur music, i just use fruityloops and once in a GREAT while ill use something i recorded (like a vocal like in molecular frenzy, a song not submitted lol)

i liked it, but the drums again sounded far away, cept the bass that was fine.

it was definately something different, and again id catagorize this as trance, if the drums were harder or louded maybe DNB

good job tho, i like the FX

philjo responds:

I use many prgrams to make my music, and i use a few hardware devices too. LIST:
reason, cubase, FL, Acid, Nero wav, Anvil, Powertab,and hardware like guiatr effects, a 16 channel mixer with guitar voice, anything that makes a noise really!
your doing very well, if u r restricted to using FL. get reason NOW! I see what u mean about the drums, maybe i could bring them forward a bit in the mix? again, trance doesnt usually include a syncopated drumloop such as this. also, my melodic sounds are a bit to scratchy to fit trance.trance is smooth, ambient, and cheesy! sometimes in a good way mind. glad u like FX, i worked hard on this one. thanks for a great review AGAIN! may coolness descend upon you.
