[- Social Stigma]

LOOK AT DEM JUMPY TRIPLETZ!!!!!111!!!!ONE

Superawesomethebawesome work, really catchy and superduper jumpy!
I love your breakdown, the bass is just one to have sex with.
Which I will be doing now.

Great work my man!

Or4nges responds:

Wear protection, it's a dirty bass.

[Leading The Blind]

Inventive!

Surprisingly original! I loved the basslines, the drums were so crisp! :D:D
One thing I'm missing in your music, and that's popularity.
KEEP DAT SHIT UP! :D:D
5/5, Fav'd

[Noisebringer - CheetahMEN]

Damn!

Love that warm subby bass from the kick! Your synths are great as always!
Amazing mix, great structucture.
However, I still think Oblivion is your best :D
Nonetheless, great work man! Props!
5/5

weemeee responds:

Thanks man! Appreciate it, and yeah i agree i like oblivion quite a bit aswell :P

[Rofl Monster - Triumph]

Nice!

I really like your beat, especially the rides. It just sounds really crisp.
Everything sounds great, well-mixed and well-mastered. Just one thing is that I'm missing a sub. I mean, the intro could do fine without the subbass, and the same goes for breakdowns, and sometimes the outro. But I was really waiting for that chorus moment where the awesome and deep sub kicks in. Even though it's liquid, it doesn't mean it doesn't need any bass.
Anyway, that's just my personal opinion. I really loved pretty much everything though. Keep it up man, love it!
5/5

OfficialRoflMonster responds:

Forgot to mention that this is a work in progress. Notice why it's short and repetitive. Thanks for the feedback, I'll add in the chorus with some sub bass.

[ImTerribleAtComingUpWithTitles]

Sweet!

I really liked the high frequency glitchy beat, in contrast with the deep deep deep bass! :D
But you should really come up with a better title :P
Is this a WiP? Because the length of the song is questionable.
Nonetheless, it's really crisp, great mix and awesome mastering!
5/5

culmor30 responds:

Nah, not a WIP. I was practicing with some new mastering tools and I'm really, really bored of listening to this now XD

[ParagonX9 - Red 13]

Awesome, and original, as always.

I totally loved it man!
Your melodies, your song structure, and ofcourse, great mix, and well mastered!

I really loved that Dorian chord in the main chord progression! Best thing about the song is the background synths, they're absolutely amazing!
Much love, keep it up! :D:D

[ProdigalAudio - This Is Hacks]

Crisp

I really liked your percussion, great crisp sound!
Your melodies were fun, but because the lead was in thirds, it kinda sounds too random along the way. I don't know, it could just be my opinion, I'm not that much of a fan of leads with an extra third or fifth layerd on top (like in most DnB). BUT, I do like your mix a lot. You've got some sweet sound. It's pretty much the whole song, the mix and mastering sounds great! Percussion (gawd that snare), synths, effects, really nice. It's just the melody I'm not quite sure about.
Anyway, great work, 5/5, keep it up man!

Qelaion responds:

Ahah, you caught me :P Thing is, I'm a sucker for layered thirds for some reason, that's why I used them for just about every. Single. Chord. xD

And I'm not gunna lie, this isn't mastered yet. I might add a bunch of stuff to this song >:D

Anywho, thanks for the review!

[-Western Adventures-]

YESH!

I really don't like the fact that people give this low scores just because they think it's all the same. In fact, I love how you're always able to get your trademark sound and still give a big twist to it!
Much love, please keep up the great music man <3

[Rise From The Abyss]

Great!

I really like the arps, the sound was really soothing.
In the intro your build is kinda slow, you could slowly add some percussion next time. You have to keep in mind that trance is a very percussive genre. Loved how you slowly introduced more synths. And your breakdown is great, great atmosphere!
So the only thing you have to do to make this song a big 10 stars is by slowly adding some subtle percussion (eg open/closed hihats, clap on the afterbeat) along the build and then create a bigger burst after the build, to create more atmosphere. But be sure not to make it too loud, especially the hihats. It will be to messy and noisy. So you gotta carefully tweak around with the volumes until you get the right balances.
So all you need on the percussion is a nice not-too-loud open hihat, some subtle closed hihats and a firm but controlled clap on the afterbeat (the second and the fourth kick). Try to EQ pretty much all of those, so you can work the percussion into your own perfection. The more mixer channels, the more work, but mostly the better the sound is.
And if you've improved some more, you can even try to create a good firm side-chained rolling bassline, a famous trademark in trance. But be careful with those, because it's freakin' hard to create, and an offbeat bass (like you have here) will do fine as well.
Anyway, I've already talked too much, great song, I really loved your synths and melodies, great atmosphere. So you could turn up the amount of percussion some more!
Keep it up man, great work! :D

ReWired responds:

Thanks for the great review. I agree that adding a high hat and clap would accent the song nicely and make it less repetitive. Ill go back and add those in as well as take a look at adding a rolling bassline. I hope you keep reviewing my future songs. Your advice is very helpful.

Happy Holidays,
