Dude, this is pretty cool

I like that bass man, sounds sweet. The minimalism of the bass and snare is actually pretty cool, but not enough for almost 4 minutes of music! It gets very repetitive. It's still a really cool sound though, you should definitely work with it more and make a fuller song, maybe with a few different instruments added. Nice song dude!

DJSKY24 responds:

Thanks lol and your absolutely right haha it is extremely repetitive. I might try to work with it more. I'm just trying to get the hang of Ableton and Fruity Loops. thanks for you feedback :)

I hear ya man

I'm sick of these four chords myself. Sure, I used them once or twice when I was first starting out making music, but I was 13 years old and didn't know shit about music. It didn't take long to figure out that it was generic sounding.

Recognition in the Audio Portal is all fucked up though, you pretty much don't get any valuable attention unless you're already popular somehow, or if you get lucky. People just don't seem interested in original music these days, they only want to hear what they've heard before and are used to.

5 stars because you obviously didn't submit this with the intention of getting high scores lol

mattuiop responds:

Haha. glad someone thinks the same! XD
Usualy people like scene fags and emos seem to make "good" dance tracks on fruityloops. FUN FACT: This was made with Ableton Live 8!
You should check out some of my other stuff as well to show I DO know how to make music!
Thanks for the review! :P

Not really liking it..

And I'll tell you why.

Eminem's voice is annoying, even in the genre that it works best with (pop-hop), but mixed with a trance song? Just, no. It doesn't work. The lyrics don't work with the emotion of the music either; huge conflict going on there.

While adding the vocals does take some work, you've simply combined two people's music. That's not creating music, and the Audio Portal is more for original creations, not mash-ups.

I can however appreciate what you've done here. I've often thought of what it would be like to combine the vocals from one song with the music from another. I just don't think that these vocals match the song at all, and I also don't think the results of combining other people's music like that should be submitted to the portal.

Iownyoujk responds:

"eminems voice is annoying" then we have different opinions about that. And of course it's not going to fit perfectly, but some parts did fit pretty well.

I understand that adding vocals does not take a lot of work, but regardless, it is a remix. There are plenty of remixes on newgrounds, so I don't see what the big deal here is. It takes many different tries to mix something that fits decently with the song, I didn't necessarily just put this together because I felt like it, I did think it went well myself. Then again that's my opinion.

The definition of a remix is changing or mixing a song with something else, even if you did not make it. DJ's do this all the time. While yes, all I did was add vocals, I changed the song itself by adding vocals. I don't understand what is soo wrong about adding remixes on newgrounds. I don't know exactly what you were looking for when you saw the name of this song and clicked it.

I do appricate the review, and I'm glad to see what you think. Thanks for taking time to write it and tell me why you did not like it. I see exactly where you are coming from and I understand why you don't like it.

Trance with eminem vocals is definitely different, but I hope you at least listened to the full thing before you put in your opinion, because some parts really did fit together at some points. (In my opinion)

Dude, finish it!

This is sick! I fucking love the wobbly bass that you've got going here, and the sweet beat accompanied by the high-pitched synth sounds goes great with it. This will be a really awesome song; hopefully the reverb messing up will happen again, because this whole thing so far sounds really great!

Icedragon200 responds:

Thanks for the review man.
XD Well I'll just leave the reverb as is then. You can hear the extended version now.
. x . I've placed the link in the description.

Personally I love playing with high passed sounds XD, there just really airy at the bottom, it gives plenty breathing for the bass.

Nice, could use some work though

The basis of this song is good, with a solid electro-house sound, but the percussion gets too busy a bit too often, and the melodies seem a bit sloppy and confused at times, kind of incoherent, like some of them sound good and fit the song but some of them don't work as well. Maybe it's just me.

This is definitely a good electro-house song though, and I really like the synth sounds that you are using. The song has a kind of bounce to it all the way through that is great, and it never really gets too repetitive. Overall, this is a pretty good song, but could use some work here and there.

forgivensake responds:

Thank you for your review.

Sweeet

The intro is cool, but the tag-team thing going on between the dubstep bass and trance-piano-and-pads is just so great, I love it. And that bass, man.. awesome dubstep sound. The drums could use some reverb, and the song definitely needs to be longer with more of that bass!

Despite the lack of 2 more minutes of trance-dubstep tag-team, this is an awesome song. The mixing to me sounds perfect, except for the drums needing some reverb. Excellent work on this, dude.

SessileNomad responds:

i played around with reverbing the drums, it works better with high end clap type sounds but with lower snares its just abnoxious. trust me it didnt work

glad you liked the track though

Yes!

I'm really liking this, man. Ambient is definitely one of my favorite genres, and this is a great example of not-boring ambient. This song has a great laid-back chill to it, and you incorporated a lot of interesting sounds while maintaining that chill, without causing the sounds to be vague at all.

Everything sounds really great. The beat has smacking-power without getting in the way at all, and gives the whole song a nice backbone. All the different sounds you used keep it interesting, and not once does the song lose any bit of laid-back chill.

Great song!

camamassa21 responds:

Thanks! appreciate the review :D

Fuck yes, Protoss

Tassadar is a goddamn badass. I always play better as Terran though.

This song is awesome. Sweet riffs and leads, tight beats, cool Starcraft sounds, great mixing, excellent theme. Its got it all!

Awesome song man. Doesn't sound rushed at all.

BERSERKYD responds:

AAAhhhhh sweet ! I guess we are Brotoss now ;) Thanks !

Smooth!

Is this sampled, or did you create it? It sounds great, and reminds me a lot of Atmosphere. Kinda repetitive, though it is a demo; hopefully the full song will be mixed up a bit more?

Regardless of a bit of repetitiveness, this is really great. Smooth, sophisticated, complex, laid back. The song will be awesome. Will it have vocals?

DJDureagon responds:

Its a sampled beat with some ambiance added by me. The song is really for a vocalist to flow over so i wanted to make it not have too many switch ups. It does have that much variety because .. i just dont know how to make it have that..... I have no idea what im doing..... sorry. I dont know how to make anything myself. I wish i did.

Whoo!

Lovin it! Definitely great for only 4 hours of work, although I don't think I've ever spent more than that on any song of mine..

The intro is sweet; I love those dramatic toms! The rest of the song is definitely just as good and better. Many of the elements in this song remind me of Accendo; you should definitely check them out some time, if you enjoy the kind of music that you've just submitted here that is.

Great choices of synths and drum sounds, excellent melodies, driving beats. Very good trance song, man!

JohnnyFrizz responds:

Thanks for the review! I just listened to Accendo and BOY they rock! Thanks for sharing :)
