[{dj-N} Theory of Everything]

Very niiiice

With those kinda retro chords in there it reminds me of deadmau5 - ghosts n stuff :D

also this tune is definitely not trance, it would fit better under house or dance but oh well, I LIKE IT!

Yea you only listen to house and think raw saws are the best ever :P

[Crying in the rain-Champ remix]

Nice nice nice

Whole song is very happy, flows, well, vocals and synths seem to like each other (not clash)

i only found two small problems, the HHs in the beginning were too loud and punchy with the soft piano, and there are some spots where its slightly empty

other than that everything is great, vocals sound great, synths sound great, everything is well mastered

nice work

[[DN] You (Remix)]

WOAHH!!!!!!!!!!

WTF??????? TOP 30!!!!!!!!!!! :DDDD

[[TC] Into the Night]

Ehh

Well i certianly like the melody its very happy but what i dont like is that i can pick out most of the samples and synths used for this :(

There are lots of mastering problems too but im too lazy to actually go into detail XD
if you care, i dont think you do, message me

[Heavy Rain (Club Mix)]

Now that ive heard the full song here are my tips.

I'm not really liking the intro, this song sounds like it needs to be more progressive, it just kinda jumps into the main pads and the lead up to the melody. Start with just some percussion and a different, more empty version of the main melody. Don't just take the main melody and put gaps in it, make it less complex and use that as an intro after about 24 measures of percussion. During those 24 measures start with just a simple kick and some other percussion and add more patterns every 8 measures. Then end the same way only reversed. Also, I don't know what you used to make the synth for the melody but layering synths and making them fade in to the main melody during the intro would sound very nice, also ending by having synths fade out would be nice as well. I am a fan of the love philter myself because I prefer that kind of transition rather than the volume but thats just me. The whole song sounds very cluttered and over flowing with pads, instead of just stacking pads try changing them through out the song so that listeners will be continuously interested. The whole song is also rather repedative because you only have one melody throughout the song, you should have a different melody for the intro and the end. Also the pads sound a little over done with the side chain coming in right away, try just having regular pads and then have the side chain come in when the main melody comes in.

If you want more specific tips just catch me on msn sometime.

[Rellika - Caseface]

[[DN] Days Of Life (Remix)]

What

the fuck is this doing in voice acting?

DanceNation responds:

ah, so thats why it deserves a 7...

[[IMD]~Carpe Diem!-{Final}]

Well

Im loving the melody but it needs serious mastering.

IceMasterDlux responds:

Glad you like it! I wouldn't say it needs serious mastering though. It definately does need some, but I've heard far worse! Thanks anyhow, and God bless!
