[Open Your Eyes (EoE) Hardstyle]

Goodgoodgood :D

It was cool, really raw sound, I like that :D
As said below, the kick could use some work. If you want to search for a good way to EQ and compress a kick, I recommend watching a tutorial on youtube.
I learned eq'ing etc. by watching trancecrafters tutorial. It's actually for trance, but the concept about EQ and compression is the same, could be useful :D
The vocals were really cool, I liked them a lot.
I wasn't sure about it, and I thought that hardstyle was always written in fast 3/4 or 4/4 triplets, but that's not always that way, so I like how it differs from the usual :D
5/5 for you, sir. Good job, keep it up!

FrameWork responds:

Hardstyle melodies can be written in time signature, check out DBSTF - Sound of the Thunder. As long as it's a dark or Hard Trance melody then your fine. Thanks for the advice, I'll check it out. I need to learn more of the technical side of things (mastering :S) XD and thanks for the good review. XD

[Are You In Da Club]

Great

Haha, I loved how after the buildup it just went on with a nice simple saw :D
I liked it, cool breakdowns, nice melodies, good percussion.
Keep it up! :D

Randomman4 responds:

Thanks =D I always enjoy reviews, and I don't get nearly as many as I would like because I WANT critisism

[DF -The Start- (WIP)]

Good concept ;D

This sounds nice, I like it!
I only recommend you to do something about your offbeat bass. It's not very audible, however, it sucks up the rest of the sound. I recommend taking a bass that is a little less smooth, perhaps a square or saw. So try making it not too much of a subbass.
You might have a limiter on the song, that could mean that's the cause of the overwhelming bass, so if that's the case I recommend taking up the ceil and the gain just a little.
The melodies are cool, I really liked it when the other lead kicked in, it's got a good sound :D
Slightly repetitive, however it's a nice and catchy tune.
Keep it up!

Dragonarios responds:

Great review! I dont think the bass will be much of problem, so consider that done. Ill be adding more variety and ofcourse make it longer. Thank you for the help!

[Noisebringer - Oblivion]

Dude, awesome! :D

I keep finding more and more fellow dutchmen here on NG (they're all awesome at music making :D)
But this was truly an intimidating and beastly piece of work :D
Great variety, great sound!
Keep it up :D

weemeee responds:

Thanks for the review man :) Appreciate it!

[Feel the Power (Hardstyle)]

Well,

I'm not into hardstyle, but I did vote :D
It's really good, the melody could be a bit more complex in my opinion and perhaps there could be a little more bass parts and a little shorter breakdowns, but that's just my humble opinion. :]
But great sound! :D Keep it up!

DJT3chnic responds:

Thanks =)

[DJRadster - AfterShock]

I loved it

Great atmosphere, soothing, and a certain ambiance.
The sound effects were really cool, just as the chord progressions, beat and synths. The drop effect at 2:48 was awesome :D
And is that a simple pad or vocals that I hear at 3:04?
Nonetheless, great song!
Keep it up :D

DJ-Radster responds:

Thanks for the comment! What you hear at 3:04 is my plugin Nexus that actually has an operatic voice that I can change. Sounds real though doesnt it =)

Will do, i got something new in the works. Keep a look out for it!

[Dubcore WIP]

Brilliant

I loved it, awesome sound.
Great wobbles, synths, drums, pretty much everything :D
But of course that's what I'd expect from someone like you :D

mr-jazzman responds:

Glad you liked it! ;) Thought I'd get it out here before anyone truly produced the idea so thoroughly as this. ;)

[Beautiful Dreams [Trance]]

You had me at the beat

Already when the beat begun in the very beginning, I knew it was awesome, because you don't find good trance here so easily.
Perfect beat, arps and dreamy feel.
Great mastering, I loved it :D
Keep it up!

PrEmoEffect responds:

Thank you for your kind comments. As for the mastering, I'm still working out the style for trance. There's a couple things I want to experiment with in terms of centering and equalizing sounds.
