[NGDM #1]

nice drums

and sweet drop at 1:22

Skela responds:

thanks

[xKore - Last Chance (ADM)]

well thats downright impossible to top

your mixes sound so damn good

[==(Marine Debris)==]

awesome composition

your tunes remind of of like, metroid prime music. really good underwater vibes in this one. I dont really like how it opens though

[The Escape [DnB]]

major mixing issues

all of the elements seem to drown out eachother... the beat completely loses power at
5 seconds in because those hats are too loud or something

picklesandwichh responds:

You've defined the problem with the mixing on this song perfectly. You're hearing the transition between different numbers of tracks at the same total volume (for example when the hats come in) so it all gets brought down by compression. My bad. For my next track I've been mixing whilst I've been making it instead of all at the end, so hopefully it will come out better!
Thanks for the review (:

[Stormwind (WiP)]

reese sounds really good

like IZK said though, better high hats+drums are truly in need. Try distortiing/eqing and hipassing an amen break and then a soft bassy snare (quiet) on every 2nd 16th..

(DONT DO THE dance HHIHAT THING on every second 1/8th lol)

QuarraCrew responds:

lol dude i made this at 4:00 in the morning, and in a half hour xD

plus i had drunken 3 redbulls. so i didnt pay much attention to the mix lol.

[SpK*) - Dadaism [preview]]

awesome sequencing

some of the sounds i care less for though. like the woh woh sound...

[Tzu - Laboratory X]

dont listen to guy below

beat was perfect for this type of song, just maybe better eqing would help

[Time's Up(djhoohaa Rmx)]

Love the drums

Snare could use some more lower punch (or maybe a really pitched up hat and then compressed for high punch)
Reese needs some work in the name of massive-ness though

[Stand Alone - Preview]

Nice

I love the gating in there (1:52 or so), tasty reese also, would love to hear more of it though

Jenni-Harry4eva3 responds:

Oh shit, it's Steak! :D lols. Sup man. Quite tasty lols. More of it will be in the final ;)

[MD2010 - War Theme]

epicness

awesome job, i just think the mix could be a bit better

Step responds:

Yep, I agree. I barely mixed this one properly :P.

Thanks for the review, I'm glad you think it's epic!
