[With Furious Anger]

I thought That the overall chord progression was good. i just thought that it could be took alot further in terms of arangement and compostition. also, drop wasn't matching in key. some time spent learning a scale might help. also make sure your master track is under 0 db, otherwise, you'll clip. if you want a good volume level, mix the drums at -10 db and then set everything around it, as the drums are usually the highest volume in edm. i also suggest working on sample choice for the drums as they come out very weak and flat. if your drums arent loud enough, some subtle sidechain compression can work wonders.

etK responds:

Yeah well the drums are not supposed to be powerfull, it's trap, not dubstep (there's no Trap category on NG :/ )
Thanks for the review anyway :)

[Rock party - DaddyCat]

good....

this has potental to be a great song but the drop is so weak i have a hard time telling where it is. u should also make a little louder and add more punch to the drums. also i wouldnt consider this drumstep, this is dubstep.

DdyCat responds:

I personally like the drop, it's different and you can understand it.

And it is drum step because the tempo is 172, which is drum and bass tempo. Only difference is the drum beat is half timed.

Thank you for the comment and i will improve on these aspects. :)

[nan0shrine - Orange Bus (Dub)]

hmm...

this needs a lot of work. u need to make a breakdown before the drop to add build up then the wobbles could use more variation and power. also the drum could more punch and more drive in the song. over all if u get a bit more experience u could polish into a decent track.

SNiPerWolF66 responds:

Thanks for the advice! Didnt want to have a prominent/heavy drop its more of a chilldub/ambient type i didnt want a heavy dubstep song..but more of a low groove. the full song is about 4min i cut it off because i haven't finished with the second half and the ending of this preview sounds alot different now. I also have the volume levels unmastered so things get drowned out. I'll be posting the full song this week hopefully.

[Temptation]

hmmm..

okay... few things wrong with this loop: 1.Tje quality is horrible, u should try to lower the distortion a little to make it better. 2. u should also work on making the riff more hardcore. it would grab peoples attention better.

SeeD419 responds:

yeah the quality is just awful

[Incident with the Virus]

good

i like it, it feels perfectly like a horror scene or zombie apocalypes but i think the drums sound slightly muffled.

MormoMaker responds:

I sorta agree, at the beginning, they were supposed to be muffled, but later I feel they need to be louder with some panning reverb.
Thanks for the review!

[Sometimes Families Don't Fit]

nope

this is just a cheap punk o matic song.

demonunitband responds:

ty for the comment n****rnuts

[The-dead-zone- 1.30mins]

nice

good for a sci-fi shooter or something like that.

theilltype responds:

good idea - thanks man

[this song was "Don't"]

aaugh....

not much of a song. switch it up a bit. dont just play same thing over again and again. i do like the loops though. they could go into a future project. just some honest constructive criticism.

HouseOfHumans responds:

it's much appreciated! just playing around with some tools. always learning, you know. thanks a lot for your comment

["Look At The Sky"]

wo'shizzle

this is a great song. if i happen to find somone looking for music in there video games i might recomend this.

jmerk800 responds:

Woah! Thank you, much appreciation for ya man.

[That Other Valley]

Awesome

this 100% 10. it has a really unique melody. ive never heard anything like it. also it sounds amazing with headphones. my only concern is u looped the drums to much. maybe u could mix it up with different beats?

GeneralHooHa responds:

Thanks for the review, yeah I'm thinking about adding a break to the middle or something.
