Lacks variation

I really like some of the synths you used.

Some of these synths really gave me a disco feel, considering how huge a fan I am of the disco revival genre, that's a really good thing.

However, the track itself lacks some variation. It's very relaxed, chilled, but there could definitely be room for more variation. The rhythmics, for example, changed little, as did the melody of the synth, and that's myh main issue.

Thanks for the review! I've just realised how many times people have said my melodies lack variation, yet I never really listen. This is something I will definitely be looking out for in my future productions.

Pretty cool

I really like the synths you've used, but the track lacks composition.

It really sounds quite random now. I like the cheery feel it has, but nothing seems to be in order, and it all seems pretty random. There's no buildup, and I couldn't find a point in the track that it was working towards.

Would like to see some more bass in it, even cheerful tunes can do well with a little bass. I liked the later parts of the song, made it feel like the entire track was just a buildup to that moment. If you could've incorporated this earlier and made the track more varied, I'd be glad. Ending was a bit abrupt, too.

Thanks for the review. And yeah, the bass frequency needs to be boosted big time.

Interesting

Absolutely amazing intro.

I really liked your use of the accordion, and I wish you'd varied it a bit more and incorporated it more into the track. This sounds more like a WIP. It's very repetitive as is, but the beat and accordion combination is sweet!

I really liked the part at the one minute mark, but once it had finished, it all seemed to return to a very unvaried style with little variation.

Variation is my main issue, maybe some more backing synths to go with the accordion as well.

It's a pretty sexy intro.

Heh, thanks for the review mate ;)

Needs a lot of work

This is far too simple. I can see what you're going for, but it just doesn't work out.

The guitar samples aren't exactly the best. They're rather dull and cheesy. There's no real composition to this track, seems to me like it's a rather eerie guitar sample with some really simple and dull drums mixed in. Try to add some more ambient layers, maybe a rhythmic guitar as well.

Interesting

Real cool track. Has a bit of a choppy feel to it, though, but overall it has a real cool sound to it.

Loving the synths you've selected. mainly speaking of the main melodic synths, but also the ambient backing synths, which I find to be really good, and help out fleshing out the track, avoiding any shallow feel to the music.

The rhythmics are pretty good. Could do with maybe a bit more variation, but it's not something I can complain about, overall it sounds really good, and the samples are pretty damn cool. Also like the percussion you've used in certain parts of the track.

Dancey

Not a bad track, definitely something I could hear playing on the dance floor, but there are some minor flaws to it, IMO.

First off, the synth, high-pitched and somewhat buzzed, that carries the melody for large parts of the track, is quite annoying, and a very overused synth, as far as I can remember. The melody itself is however just fine, no problems with that as far as I can tell.

Rhythmics are good, rapid, energetic, pushing the track forward and giving the progressive feel you'd want in a dance track of this nature. The composition is also pretty well done.

Overused?! Never!

I pretty much use like the same twe leads in all my songs. Well no, but it feels like it sometimes. I'll check into that and will try to tone that down a little, have it fill in sound space elsewhere. Thanks for the review!

Interesting

Honestly an interesting feel to it. The good thing about dry spells is that once they've been overcome, the next piece is pretty damn good. This being no exception.

Sure enough it has some DnB elements. I think what I like the most is your use of sound effects, like what I could make out as the sounds of an ocean (or just white noise) acting as a backup for the rest of the track.

The beats are real nice, done with some good samples, and the ambient synths you've used are also quite well done, really helps in fleshing out the track and create a special kind of atmosphere, which I'm sure is what you were going for.

The intro was really good, nice buildup and a spoiler into what was to come, and the outro was pretty decent as well, not a normal way to end a song, but a really good one for this particular track and/or genre.

MobiusIII responds:

Thanks for the review! I guess dry spells are good for something. I must have started and scrapped like 6 projects before getting this one rolling. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed it - thanks for listening!

Great samples

Very nicely made piece, with some absolutely crisp samples, and really quite the epic feel to it. Could easily tell a story.

By epic, I mean of course that this is quite the grand, majestic piece, just with the backing guitar and piano playing an absolutely beautiful melodic line. The composition on this piece is really good, and everything fits very well together, with the bass instruments backing up the main melodic samples.

The rhythmics section is a bit lacking, would love to hear even more use of percussion, and the outro is honestly not the best I've heard, might want to see if you could do some work on that.

Stargenx responds:

Thanks for the review! Soapy bubble. What does everyone mean when they say "Samples"?

Uncertain

I'm not entirely sure exactly what emotion you're trying to convey here.

I guess, from the comments, that this is a sad song, remembering someone that's gone for you now. However, I don't really feel very sad when hearing this. There's a bit too much going on for this to be called an emotional track.

The piano melody is very nice. Well written, good progression. The first part of the track actually does feel somewhat emotional, somewhat sad, but the rhythmics sort of wipe that atmosphere away. The samples you've used are good, tho.

Not bad

A really good progressive trance track. Sadly, NG can't make genres for every subgenre there is, that would possibly make the submitting system a bit too messy.

There's a nice flow to the track, a very steady beat throughout, and the synths are of good quality, with a good melody.

Main issue for me is the lack of variation in the rhythmics. It's basically the same throughout, and in general the track does feel a bit shallow. i honestly think this would do very good as the intro to a longer track, but as a standalone track, it's somewhat lacking, IMO.

I like it when people call me bro.
