[Construct]

u dont suck its garageband that sucks

get fl studio, otherwise this is actually pretty cool, very creative sounding, some parts not well leveled tho like at 56 synth too loud

Smidly responds:

Alright, thanks for the tips. I have a mac though so I can't really use FL :(

[*BIT PC]

I love starcraft

i thought these were pretty good remixes

Smidly responds:

Hey! Thanks man. You got good taste.

[Bassynth]

interesting

how are there more downloads than listens?

Nav responds:

Since this was here before the listens system was implemented, but downloads were still recorded.

[Nav - The Chimes (NG Edit)]

Hey this is undderated alot!

this song is good it could just use some atmospherics, noise fx, little arps here and there, put more distortion on the bass id say and DEF ADD REVERB to bass, also work on the automation and eq that bass so it slides more up&down
hope this helps

[Turning Point (PONR)]

i think its cool

i hate it when ppl down songs just bcauz they're different

DEaDPixEL09 responds:

Thanks, I'm one of those ppl who hate that mainstream bullshit thats supposed to be expected of too many of nowadays popular musicians

[The Arms Dealer]

modify sytrus presets some

only reason i low scored this was bcause u used them presetsss u shud make yur own sounds its just much more fulfilling. Go on youtube and look up sytru tutorials thast wat i did awhile back.

[Icarus Dirge]

tips given beloww hope they help

I actually think this is pretty good but:
lower that main synth some
dont use the default samples for the fpc (atleast i dont)
download some good drum samples from the web.
give it some sick twisted heavily distorted bassline underneath, with filter automation of course
maybe add some reverb onto snares and kicks
use soundgoodizer on some stuff like drums
make drum beat more glitchy (and variatiated n stuff)
add more instruments then mix them all.
more transitions i guess.
also since its DnB dnb its usually faster.
give it some echoey arps
like more fx and stuffs
-hope this helps

[Digital Toe- Benjinator 3000]

hmmm yesss..

dont use sytrus presets theyre too recognizable, other than that its cool just a lil unorganized

[Dark Blue Sky]

this sounds pro-fesssional

The opening melody with the reese sounds really good, then the shit hits the fan at like 1:10 when that crazy beat comes in. Maybe you could give me some tips on my DnB? it sounds kinda like this just not as melodic and good.

alertG responds:

thanks for the review! im always working on improving my music and it does take some experience good melody. But there is a style for everyone.

yeah ill check it out ;)

[Mandarin]

Really smooth

I like it but i never felt that the beat fully came in
