Very impressed.

I guess I should stop being impressed by finding gems on the NG Audio Portal by now, seem to come around more often than not.

This is a really, really good track. It has this grand feel to it, and it's very well written. The rhythmics are great, no lack of originality or large amounts of boring repetition, and in general the track is varied throughout, which is always a good thing, IMO.

The track has this ambience to it, it feels very expansive and large and rather soothing and relaxing. The melodic tracks of the guitar is really good, and definitely part of what makes the track so relaxing. I doubt it fits very well in Heavy Metal, but I wouldn't know where to put it myself.

Get working on another track and see if you can't throw in some vocals too.

Love it.

That's real sweet. Love the beat and backing sample. Mic quality is crisp, and the lyrics are just way too good. Could do with being a bit longer, but if it's for a game, I guess that puts certain limitations on it.

AKACCMIOF responds:

Thanks! Think I might do a longer version tbh, just for the love once all the game music's done.

Keep it solid, broski.

Be experimental

It's not a bad tune, though i don't feel it'd fit too well as a backing for a rap in the hip-hop way as is.

For one it's very repetitive, I really feel like you could've done something more interesting with the rhythmics. This song has the potential to be a standalone tune, but it's way repetitive and there's little variation in samples and the rhythmics section. Some more interesting tacts and samples would be nice.

Fast-paced, nice beats

Impressive ltitle piece, would love to hear a full and finished version of this, as it shows great potential. Real nice beats and a nice melody to go with it. Finish it up, dude!

Good dynamics

As per usual, your piece of work really impresses me.

Though I can hear a couple of mixing mishaps, this might be the best WIP I've heard on NG thus far.

I especially enjoy the feel of this track. It's somewhat hyped up, yet quite tranquil at the same time. Odd, isn't it? Though I am not too sure about the SFX used in the intro, they do somewhat fit the tranquil feel of the track, but they don't seem quite right for this piece.

THe synths you used are really good, have a great sound to them, and are varied. The melody and composition in general is well written, and I enjoy your use of multiple layers to make sure the song never has a dull moment. I also enjoyed your rhythmics in this piece, very well executed.

And of course, dynamics. So many musicians on NG ignore dynamics completely and only have one volume, loud. Your use of dynamics make this track a lot more interesting.

The outro, I'm no fan of. I feel this deserves a better ending than a fade-out.

Hello! Thanks for the compliments. xP

I can hear where some of the mixing mishaps are. If you could possibly send a pm as to where they are, that would be good. I know of the one right in the beginning of the ambient section where the waves flicker in and out. I still don't know what causes that, but I'm trying to fix it.

Glad you liked the synths/samples I used this time. I tried to get better ones, just for you, since you've been talking about it. :P

As for dynamics, a lot of it seems to be at the same kind of volume, I just try to change it a bit every once in a while (not counting transitions) so that it's more interesting.

As for the outro... See my other review responses for that. ^_^` I've answered the outro thing on every other review except for SCTE3's, I think.

I'll definitely be putting up the full song when I finish it with my composition teacher. Hope you like that one.

Thanks for the review again!

Amazing

Once in a while a track is made, that I just don't know how to review, because I can't find any flaws. This is one of them.

I'm seriously amazed at this. It sounds so clear, it sounds professionally made, it amazes me that this is the work of one man. All the different instruments and elements fit together perfectly, the mastering is just perfect, this is a display of true, pure talent.

This one is going into my favorites.

Dear God man, this is probably one of the nicest reviews I've received in ages, haha.

Thanks a million! I've always been quite happy how this submission turned out even though I rushed it since I had work to do at the time.

Thanks again :3.

Not quite

Lacks variation. That's the biggest issue for this track.

It's a nice dubstep track. you've got some decent buzzed synths and the drop isn't all that bad. The rhythmics are also pretty damn cool. The track also flows very well. My main issue is that it's so repetitive, even for such a short track, which is a big problem.

On top of that, I don't think you should listen to XsakuX, dubstep tracks don't need to be "dirty". This is a dubstep track, it just needs more variation.

I-Saved-The-World responds:

XsakuX gave some good advice, it doesn't NEED to sound dirty, but it needs to sound balanced. As well as that, some more variation, and maybe some blood sweat + tears, and maybe I'll be able to pump out a hit :) Thanks for your review!

Repetitive

Though it's a very nicely made track, with some nice beats and a calming feel, it lacks variation.

The fact that it is so long is my issue on the variation. If it were, say, half the length, variation wouldn't be an issue. The track would flow very well (which it does) and it wouldn't feel dragged out.

i realy like your use of percussions and drums. Really helps giving it that flow.

Needs... more

It feels a bit random and repetitive to me.

There's no proper composition, as far as I can hear. The synths are a bit cheesy, over-used, and the track itself feels somewhat repetitive, in spite of the fact that I can hear variation. Probably due to the fact that the transitions aren't the best, and I can hear you got your inspiration, maybe a bit too much, as I can remember hearing the melody elsewhere, at least parts of it.

The synths should be switched out, and the rhythmics in particular require more attention and more variation.

Adding some more layers would be nice, because as it is, I'd love to hear some more backing synths, ambience in the back.

Industrial

I think industrial is the genre you're looking for.

I like the deeper meaning to this track, I can easily hear it while listening to it. Love your use of vocal samples, and the dirty rhythmics with some nice synths. The ambient noises are also real good.

The eerie mood I get probably fits what you were going for. The track is a rather dirty one, which helps in delivering the message you want to bring forth. Really liked the ending too, but I expected a bit more to come after that last vocal sample.

SoulSecure responds:

Really, it's post industrial and that's why it's under misc.

Really, now? You thought there'd be more? Huh, I thought it was the perfect time to end it.

Thanks for the review!

I like it when people call me bro.
