Good

Nice melody on this.
Did you get the snare to be exactly in tune with the rest, because I really noticed that, propably you did it accidentally but it was funny, though.
It wasn't actually industrial really, you still miss the more bombasstic full sound, you should try to get.
Focus some more on mastering and effects, and you'll improve greatly.

Keep on going dude!

MeteorSuit responds:

oh I know, I really need to work on my mastering. By the way, it's not lame were both MS. Two good letters.

Thanks for the review.

Great

Wow, dude, this would be great in games n movies and shit..
Well whatever, this was quite a nice ambient tune, nice production.
Really soothing and all, would be great for menu music.

That'd be all.

SolusLunes responds:

Oooh! Someone liked it.

I just want someone to use it for menu music, that's all. Really. That's it. :D

Solus- Final Run

I like this, you managed to get the mood pretty well.
I liked the synths and all, and the sound was good.
Hm I can't say much more than good about this, it was a pretty alround techno song.
I will now check out your other tunes.

Nice work,
MackerelSalad

SolusLunes responds:

I thought it sounded a bit rough, to be honest. But hey, as long as someone liked it :D

Synths are my strong point, and I milk that for all it's worth.

Dude

It's okay.
I can hear in an instant that you overuse the standard (not that great) FL Studio samples and pre-sets.
Also, the mastering could've been much better.
I hear potential in this, but try harder.
get some free vst's off the internet, and let the world of VSTi's open up for you.

Keep it up,
MackerelSalad

CyrusOfNaias responds:

I will take your advice, as I do with others from experienced users, with extra consideration.

I admit that I tried too hard to imitate a real electric guitar as well.

Thanks for the review!

Great

It's BE-A-UTIFUL!
Frigin' drums you put in there.
I conkurr with the complaints Glib made.
That's it, got nothing else to say.

Two new tunes are coming as soon as my songs are gone.
Tom can do it any second.

SineRider responds:

I'll have to look out for them

Thanks

My fav' Sinerider track

I love this, dude...
The sort of descending synth was so wonderful!
You should be looking for a record deal, you're getting really good at this, man!
All the little fragile melodies really add up to the feel of this track, this fell reminds me a little of "On", by the mighty Aphex Twin..
The oceanish sounds, and the pink noise osc, just wonderful!
As soon as I can buy you EP off the internet, I will consider it!

Just great.
MackerelSalad

SineRider responds:

The EP is free if you didn't know

There is a link in my profile (remove the space)

Thanks man =)

crud - Foggy Full Moon (instrumental)

man, this is something completely new to me...
i can't think of anything that has a sound like this, man!
great job on the mixing of this.
i liked the majority of synths, but some were rather annoying. Not really bad though.
There was some incredible diversity in this song, and i especially loved the drums.
Real good job on those, i don't often hear good drum samples/beats/mixing here on NG.
Really good man!

+ Awesome Originaly
+ Nice Synths
+ Good Samples
+ Much diversity
+ Excellent Mixing
+ Really liked the outro!

- Maybe too much diversity, with the melodies, it was hard to hear the main melody and all.
- Sometimes there were dissonants, not always fitting in, but not that bad though.
- Some synths didn't go that well with the track

Constructive Critisism
Work on the composing and stuff, I heard lots of nice lines, but maybe you can make it last longer, and put in a nice chord progression or two, at least, a clear one.
The bass lines had a nice sound, but the line itself didn't always go good with the melody.

Really nice! Keep on doing this stuff!

(you could check out my new track, i just made it last night.. I'd appreciate it.)

crud responds:

holy crap. kudos for the best most informative and constructive review ever!
i definitely agree with you on some of your comments. i think the major one is that i spent too much time creating new cool melodies and lines that i really should have honed in on one specific melody, chorus, etc. simplify!
thanks a lot, i'll be checking out your stuff.

nice, i like it

I definetedly see potential in this, considering you're new, you are quite good. starting out with drum n bass is also quite hard.
Be aware, of that drum and bass has to be clear as well, the clarity wasn't that great, try to master your mix next time.
The drums could have some diversity as well.

For the effort, this gets a 5/5
check my stuff out as well, thank you!

perfect-tool-1 responds:

-weasel

WOW man!

damn, i listened to your previous work, you definetedly improved! I actually have no cons on this! It is repetitive, but you don't notice! Really nice! You from sweden? Jag är svensk! :P

dj-young2542 responds:

ok everytime i put a music on nregrounds it always get lowered to like 2 or less so i am maybe gonna quit putting up music here because i dont feel like to put things up here if they dont get good score thank youo all for that and i think i should vote like 1 or 2 on songs now i to because even on bad song i not so bad. i can give them a 3 to be nice to them.but remember now. i am gonna vote low on your songs now

Have a nice day

wow

this would be perfect in a chase situation in some game, man. you really did great! I have not much to say...

Please check out my audio as well, and if you do, just the 4 newest, please xD, the rest is crap.

UberKuri responds:
