What

DanceNation responds:

[[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!

[Overload (remix)]

Nice work

Its a good tune, i dont really like kicks like that but it fits the song nicely.
Dont you just hate when a song you make gets more downloads than votes?

Ozzy93 responds:

Thanks! Most people are too lazy to write reviews and vote :P

[Derrick & JapeApe -- Lost]

You're almost there

For a trance song on newgrounds this is very good. For a trance song everywhere else, its just barely worth listening to. But I mean that in the nicest way.

You seem to know how to capture that very full sound and are able to master things relatively well however the song itself sounds amateur and generic in a few ways.

The whole song doesn't flow as smoothly as a trance song is meant to. I noticed that you added a pattern every 4 measures instead of every 8. I recommend, for trance especially, you add 2 patterns every 8 measures and use volume automations, philters. If you are using nexus, use EnV automations instead of philters.

The song itself could use just a bit more mastering. Nothing too fancy but the equalizer is a tad off.

The clap, kick, and HHs used in this song are very default and everyone uses them. I'm almost positive you used VEC3 clap 1 for the clap.

I didn't really find the climax of this song either or any kind of soul, heart, or emotion. It sounds like you tried to make a trance song just to make it not because you felt something. Trance songs should make people feel whatever you felt as you were making it and I just got a whole bunch of emotions from this song.

The song itself might actually sound TOO full. There are either soo many synths and effects playing at one time or not enough. Theres no real time when they balance each other out.

You sound like you have all the basic knowledge down but don't really apply yourself to use absolutely everything you know.

Keep working at it and I'm sure you'll get better.

PS: If you think that review was me trying to insult you, it wasn't, I'm simply giving advice on trance because that is my prominent genre and I'm good at it.

Yodamanjaro responds:

Thanks for the review

[~EnV~Touch (bad mix)]

Love the mastering

The song is really good but the mastering is perfect!

Envy responds:
