[Classical vs hiphop remastered]

5/5

This is a simply amazing beat. I love the violin in the background, which gives it such fullness. I can tell you really worked on this. What I ended up not liking as the song went on was that lead sine synth you had that was kind of portamento. The samples covered for it though. Anyways, I have nothing more to say here, except you did a tremendously good job on this. Keep up the great work, my friend! Welcome to the top charts!

It took me almost 3 years to respond, but thanks. I glad that you like it, makes me happy!

[Hold It Down]

5/5

I really like this song a lot. It's very original. The part that stood out to me was when you changed the hi-hat from a 4/4 to 3/4. That was really awesome man.

[KTR hip hoppin]

5/5

I love this song! I'll whip up some lyrics and PM them to you, or actually PM me what kind of lyrics you were thinking of putting down on this song. You're definitely talented my friend, so keep it up!

[Psychological Torture]

5/5

This reminds me entirely of Silent Hill. I love this piece, because it has that epic horror-film theme in it. Make a longer version, please, and in that version leave out a melody. The sound is great! Keep it up!

Otakumage responds:

Glad u liked it. I was going for a creepy sound. Guess I pulled it off. lol

[Zeytology]

3/5

I can see how your friends like this song, and I did too somewhat. It sounds too much like every other default trance song I've heard though. There isn't really anything new in this. You've got the trance feel down, but now you need to make it original, not just use the same instruments as all the others. You've got great potential, however, and it would be sad if this review discouraged you. You still did a good job with the song, don't get me wrong. So, keep up the good work! =]

zeyta responds:

I know what you mean. I've deleted all my older songs cause they all sucked, but I remember the one review that really got to me. He said "make all your music the way people like it, don't do something just cause you think it sounds good." And with this song I tried to make the generic, what people liked, ya know? But I'll definitely be making some more original things in the future, remember to check back :D

[Back Down Hottest Track Ever!]

3/5

Ok, there are a few reasons why I gave you a 3/5 rather than some good respect. Respect, I think, should be earned, and this song wasn't enough. You did good, but I feel it could have been better. All those bells and whistles and sound effects are cool, but the sound still just sounded bare. The main tune almost drowned out everything else, including the beat, which I guess was alright, but it was redirecting my attention the entire time. I liked the evil laugh you put in before the rev-up part. The snare in the beat was good, but the kick just didn't kick hard enough. It sounds like someone is pounding on the wall, rather than kicking in a drum. The "Hey!" sound effect was a good touch, still. It's good, don't get me wrong, but definitely could be better. This isn't the 'hottest track' as you say it is, in my opinion, but it certainly is getting there. Take care.

[We Play Them Over n Over]

5/5

Superb. I rarely give out my 10/10 review score, but you definitely deserve this. I could imagine certain underground rappers freestyling to this song. You did good with this song. My only gripe is the little bass-solo you had going on at 1:03. Change up the notes for the bass a little maybe. However, that's quite a small task compared to how well you did with this beautiful piece. I urge you to keep up what you're doing, because you've got some professional sound. Have a good day man!

P.S. What do YOU use to produce? =]

[Tec 9 (preview)]

5/5

Well done, my friend! This preview was very good! However, the cymbals don't need to be used as much. Or, you should have another cymbal turned down a little to use for the filling. Good job, anyhow! Keep it up!

Rexmex-1825 responds:

thx. I actualy started doing that after i submitted this version.

[Pokemon - gymbattle remix]

4/5

This is much better than your original! Well done, my friend! Keep up the good work. =]

[++< Far Away >++]

3/5

I actually enjoyed the sweetness of this tune. The strings were a good touch. The cello is a bit loud in the beginning, but the sound effects helped it. Next draft, turn down the snare a bit, and make it more background-ish as a support rather than a lead. The solo violin was very appropriate for this song, and gave it a melody. Overall, good work! You definitely have potential as a future artist and composer. Just keep working on it. You're getting there! Good job!

Also, add a little reverb to some of the instruments to give it atmosphere. That's what it is missing.

Decerto responds:

Like the last reveiwer, i'll try and take on board your comments to try and make the peice better :) Thanks for your kinds words <3 :)

Thanks again,
Decertp
