[Just Believe[iNfliktioN Remix]]

Wow!

I barely have any criticism at all here!
The vocals are awesome, i don't know the original though but is this something from Hospitality records ?

Anyways again this is awesome!

[xKore - Splatterhouse (WI]

After listening to it several times

I think this is your best work up to date!
Only thing to me is that this sounds a bit compressed. Especially the bass.
And i'm now listening to it on normal speakers with a subwoofer.

But goybadiddididamn! This is awesome.

[Downfall (DnB)]

ONE thing that actually bothered..

The drums are pretty weak, i'd suggest turning the volume up, or add external kicks and snares with it!
You know doubling up your drums.

But the rest sounded pretty awesome, nothing to notice on the rest of the instruments!

And a different point is to learn some more about dnb transitions, the part where the drums come in where unsuspected and not really much of a drop.

So i hope i can help you improve and if you'd like please rate/review some of my songs aswell!

TheRealFool responds:

Well, first of all, I added some more bass drum and upped the velocity of my snares, making the beat dirtier and better.

The part where the drums come in is supposed to be a bit unexpected. My vision when I made it was that it was basically a drop, but instead of the expected climax, it's suddenly stripped to the core. Then the drum comes in a bit later to complete it.

Thanks for taking the time to review this, I'll be sure to check something of yours out :)

[Re-Living (Full)]

A few things.

First of all this should be in the dubstep section no dnb in the whole song at all. But i am not giving you a 7 because of that though!

The reason is that the piano and the snare sounds too midi'ish if you get my grip. They don't sound too realistic.

Also when the song is in further stage like around 00:52 the drums don't add much as the melody is louder than the drums.
And around 02:50 it's kind of the same thing drums are being overpowered by the melody.

But keep improving!

Ignyte responds:

yeah I know what you mean.

Currently im experimenting with a VST called CVPiano, which is a great improvement from FL studio's FLKeys plugin.
As for the drums, its kind of a hit'n'miss scenario atm with my speaker setup... I really need something better so I can make my levels correct and proportionate...

In time though, Thanks for reviewing!

[Helium]

Another great one!

I'm really loving these songs from you!
Also i wantted to add you as one of my favvourite artists until i noticed i already had you as one!

[Rialto [dnb]]

Damn

This is perfect for an Hospitality mix record! Do you listen to some of the stuff they produce ? If not then listen to it!

On the other hand what program do you use ? And could you help me on some of my songs with some tips n stuff ??? I really want to produce this quality!

NaaaB responds:

Hello Ranter,
Yes I do listen to hospital records Its tipically the dnb I listen to :)
I use Fl and well, if you want some help with, it would be a pleasure ! Just Pm me.

Regards,
NaaaB

[Hazmat]

Awesome song!

Just not really dnb though, More techno hop. Is it even around 160 / 180 bpm ? Doesn't hear that way.

And i hear a saw around 1:07 that distorts together with the kick try to equalize it so that they don't cut each other off! but great song and you should really review some of my songs especially my latest since i too need help improving!

[The Classic Fable]

Too bad about Fable2!

Seriously i would love to have heared this when you have one of those flashbacks or when your still a child!

ZuneInc responds:

Actually i was thinkin just that when you complete the game or at some point you see a flashback showing all the main turning points of your life, when you are a child all the way to this what you are now. Or it couldve been in the intro, when you start the game, showing different parts of the game, action bits, what you can be and become and so on. Epic. Thanks for the comment :)

[-|Scratched|-]

Awesome!

I like the fact that this is very dutch hardcore'ish! But also very Nintoic (am i making words up as i go ?) Anyway's i just think you need to work on the drums some more, they didn't really fill up as i was expecting them to be!
Try doubling up your kicks or add reverb to them!

15thDimension responds:

lol, the funny part is I had to try and keep the drums from overpowering everything else. xD

[Death Row (Neurofunk) [WIP]]

Loving it!

Although i really hate it when drops are being stalled and in this song i heared like 3 drops before the actuall drop of the song!

And also it's too short! Try lengthening(sp?) your songs.
