Almost a whole year left to wait :(
Thanks for the comment ^^

[Aspiration Rd. 2 {NewYear Mix}]

Hmm..

This sounds like it's having an issue finding a solid genre. It could be a dance song I guess with an offbeat? Or perhaps DnB with some crazy movement? Whatever.. Techno it is.

I'm listening to this on my Sennheiser headphones at the moment and I'm hearing a lot of mastering issues going on.. The bass sounds very muffled and the rhythm is a bit strange. I think it would have been sweet if you make the notes shorter to get the intended rhythm.

The lead synth is extremely generic sounding. There are only a few parts in it's entirety and it becomes stale pretty fast. I'd was relived when finally something new finally came in at 1:34~. There's only one automation (A cutoff or bandpass frequency controller?) from what I can hear that goes in and out at strange intervals are weird times. The cymbal comes in strangely and chaotically in a bad way. The synth is overpowering at times -- especially towards the end. The very very end is so loud and it's very abrupt. On a positive note, I did like some of the progressions though, particular ~1:24 and ~2:17.

To further complete your tracks, I'd recommend obtaining Vengeance Essential Club Sounds Volumes 1, 2, and 3.

6/10 and I gave you a 5/5 just because it's what I do.

Keep making music! To be honest though, I'm baffled on how you made top 5, but it's whatever. If you polished this one up a lot, then it could be a great tune.

Enjoy the views!

I actually went and mastered this after it got 3k views so I can't update it anymore.
The kick is from VEC 3.

As I said below this was mostly an exercise in automation, I didn't expect this to become popular.

[SubtleForces - Rushing Calm]

Mmm Energy :)

I love it. Mastering could use some work, but hey it's not stopping me from dancing! ;D

SubtleForces responds:

thanks :D

Ye, i sux0rs at mastering ;(

[[DN] New Lead]

What is this from?

What track is this from? My friend and I have a project in the making that sounds unusually similar to it..

DanceNation responds:

its tune up's "ride on time"

[Sunshine Within]

yay happypants ^^

This gives off the same mood to me as one of the tracks i'm currently working on. "Party Hard".

It could be mastered a bit better for maximum ranges and such and louder.. but I like where you're going with this man! Keep making tunes alright? You have tons of potential! :)

9/10 and 5'd!

Chris

momboom1 responds:

Thanks :D. When you finish your song send it to me and i'll check it out. Thanks for the kind words.

[Jack Sparrow]

Nice tune!

Nothing too original going on here.. I really like the lyrics that you added though. :D Very clean as usual. Just sounds like a commercial dance song to be honest.

The percussion added at 1:11 during the 3 beat change reminded me of my band days from when I was younger, hehe. For that nostalgia, I give you 10/10 sir. :)

Keep the tunes comin' Eirik!
Chris

SkyMarshall responds:

Nice and honest. I like it man. Thanks =)

[Castles in the Sky {DF RMX}]

Very clean sounding remix!

It's very clean and mastered pretty well.. Sounds like generic dance though. This one seems a bit lacking without any vocals though..

9/10 and 5 just because. ^^
Keep up the dance tracks, ok? Looking forward to some original ones! :)

Chris

Dfarce responds:

Thanks, I've been in sort of a slump for the past year or so.
Lots of catchy melodies but none that developed into a song.

Hopefully that changes, thanks for listening!

[its always hardest in starts]

I don't know whats happening at 15 secs~

It's a little too unclean sounding.. I really like the crowd and energy this has though! Try taking some release off your arp-y type thing after 15 seconds too to better hear the rhythm.

This is clipping quite a bit.. lower your volume or master it a bit more. ^^

Kind of slow for the build to finally happen after 2 minutes, but it's there.. Unfortunately, there's no solid melody to follow.

8/10 and I gave you a 5 just because. Keep making tunes, ok? ^^

combatplayer responds:

lol thanks.. theres no rythm nor arp at 15sec though. its more of a flat out before the rythm really gets introduced, in the start it was meant to be a full out harddance/hardstyle track. but i made the last part anyway, couldent think of a masive melody that would fit on it. thanks for your review and score ^^
