Nice work on this one, i don't have too much to say - other than the bitrate quality thing (uuhhg, we all struggle with this one on NG.), and the drum sample loops are noticably "loopy". I enjoyed the breaks and chord progressions - nice work!

Yeah, the song's 7 minutes long, and the mix isn't all that good to begin with. What can I say? :P
As for the loops, I made the drums back to this song in March/April, so I didn't know better at the time. I do now. ;)
Thanks for the review, glad you liked it!

Nice work! I enjoyed the piece alot - but it would be better with cleaner samples/instruments (and mastering)
If you can do this.. DO IT - you'll be #1 next time.

"Blarg why can't I make good drums...."
Really freakin aweseome precussion. Teach me...
I won't mention the things I normaly review on - because you've already heard them (and its a DnB song.. so I don't know much.)
Only thing I can suggest is that you watch the "Whoooshing" pad in the backround - its clipping a bit (this might be intentional.. I dunno)
Anyway - Keep up the nice work!
5'd and 9/10!
Author's Response:
I would teach you. :) Just msg me.
About the pads; I made it louder to emphasize the sounds. the overclipping was intentional to an extent, but a bit more mastering could have been done. I REALLY made the track loud though, so the clipping is normal.
Thanks :P

... lol I don't mean to sound crass or accuse you - but are you sure you created this from scratch?
That aside, I am impressed with your work, but I really wish you would master your music a little less "loudly" as it grates the ears (it can still be hardstyle and loud, it just needs to not clip and kill everything that hears it..)
Good work, keep it up!

Great build up, awesome synths. I'd say the strong point of the song is the drums and sidechaining/gating of the instruments. Then again, the melody/chord progressions are really nice as well. PIANO SOLO, WUT.
Gaah, too many things to compliment you on >_<...
You should try sending a demo cd to a trance label, I'm sure they would love this. (that is my opinion anyway... Keep up the awesome work!)

You did a good job with the instruments (really good for using 3 x osc), the build up worked well. Only things I think you could improve on are the melodies repetitive nature and "genericness". Other than that, nice work!
- Shenkhar
Author's Response:
Thx~! =]
also yeah i felt it was kinda repetitive also but i still like it xD
sticks to the head =]
Also your stuff is really good too~! =]
but yeah ill try to tone down and try to improve for the better~! =]
But thanks for the info~! more comments means i can learn from it and get better=]

Lol Rig, you original sunnovabitch. Its been a while since I heard the fl "preset" vocals used in a good piece of music. Nice job with the dance music too - your really getting good at it (almost scary... I thought I was the winnipeg newgrounds trance guy.. lol) Anyway, keep up the good music, hope to hear more soon.

Loved the bass sound, but you need to compress the other instruments to let it through. Also work a bit on your drums (I struggle with drum patterns myself.. so I know.)

yea haha it's always been a problem. lol

Eh, Sytrus presets. Standard chord progression. I've heard better - but not completely un-original. Keep it up :D
-Shenkhar
Author's Response:
Well, if you think about it, Sytrus presets sound pretty cool. Also, yeah, it is a very well-used chord progression, but this one is way better. XD Thanks for the review.
