[DjSc00p - Head Up(Final)]

... Good work!

Seriously, this sounds great. You've done a good job.
Sorry I haven't been on Aim. By the time I remember to go on, it's already too late. I'm pretty much on msn, whenever I'm on the comp; and that's a fair bit.

Go to hell you stupid 0 bombers. Get a life

2.55 / 5.00 (+ 1.72)

DjSc00p responds:

[A New Energy - F-777]

Hey.

Hey man.

I loved the intro but didn't really like about 1:17, was that supposed to be acid? I think that bit needs a little bit more work :S, sounds too much like a guitar riffing. But when the melody comes back it's pretty nice.

However something else, I think that high saw is a bit too loud. If it sounded like 0:34 this would have been soo awesome! Just add another lead, something higher but make sure it's a lead not a saw because that will easily slip through the cracks of the leads like the one u had hear and yeah...

I liked the kick and bass, and the percussion - it's always great.

Good work, keep it up.

[B0UNC3 - Voyager]

Hey man.

You need to lift your spirits :D

This is a great song and you still have the talent you used to have. And you STILL have the respect from everyone here which you should be damn proud of.

Loving the lead, and pretty much the whole song. Great work. Still have the epic touch.

It would be really nice if you could check out my latest WiP.
It's of Kazmo's Hard Trance, and it's looking pretty good so far.

5'd 10/10

-Cheers Brando

[Dang Mengalai (Final Mix)]

Loved it!

You got my 5 and 10! Hardstyle FTW

Love the start. The intro was the maddest shit.
<3 your kick and bass, and the use of scratches crashes and hard fx.

This makes me want to shuffle! But I've done enough shufflin for today lol. :P

Although I loved the intro, I'll get down and serious. I think the melody was a bit too.. melodic for the type of song you were introducing.
After a while of listening it sounds slightly better but I'll stick with my gut instinct.

I'll use SMF - Hahaha as an example. At the start he had a nice introduction coming along, then he brought in a nice hard lead, simple but hard.

You brought in a very nice introduction, then expanded the lead into a pretty nice subtune. Then you brought in the melody. I think there was too much to the melody, I know repetitive isn't usually a good thing but I think with hardstyle, it works out in favor.

Just repeating the first 4 bars of the melody and changing the 7th and 8th bars would be surely enough. The journey down to the lower notes kinda ruins the mood. Also you need some contrast in the melody and a always try a little bit of weirdness, gives your songs unique touch - and a chance to go far.

Liked it. Makes me think of Sarah & Pae shuffle.

Keep up the good work.

-Cheers Brando

DJ-Qwamii responds:

thanks bro. yeah, u know what? the melody was from a traditional song of my country :P so it's kinda hard to remix it into a hardstyle-ish one. :pp

and thanks again. really appreciate it. (:

and and if u like this, u may like my "Sexbusters". Have a listen. (:

[Popcorn [Hardstyle Remix]]

:D nice

Hey man, nice work you have here. It's good for a start. :D

You need to add a harder kick, something that has bass. Because you've just got a nustyle kick with no umph. Also remember to add snares and hats/crashes/rides in the right places, it makes the extra difference.

Add chords and plucks and such, to give the extra feeling and to strengthen the tension to the chorus.

You inspire me to make a remix. :D
Instead of watching anime, like I have been for the last 2 hours - I'm gonna play with this old tune :D

Good work, keep it up.

[Moanforyou<3]

Lol haha XD

wtf.. someone downloaded it.

I think someone finds you sexy.. Maybe that duck finds you sexy.

ShKahh responds:

It might be.

I make ducks hot apparently..
Not something to be proud of, but.. yeah. D:

[!/The Kingdom\!]

Hey man.

Nice work. You made this pretty well. Yeah songs with well.. lots of nexus's and heaps of reverb pianos = lag like crap. But do u know about the audio buffer? Makes everything lag so much less.

Go options>audio options. And there should be a little bar. DirectSound and should say 44ms somewhere there. Drag the bar to about halfway.. 130-160 is good.
All the way makes everything worse.

But this like, gives your sound card more time to get the sounds out of fl = LESS LAG XD. It's freaking sick. If you get it right you can usually play it out in fl at about export quality.

But yeah, the song is nice. The melody was nice and slow, pretty relaxing. The pianos were very nice. Although the bass sounded kind of funny, I think I would have tried using a different one. I suspect you're using V Ultimate Bass yeah? Anyway. Good work, keep it up.

Try what I said, you won't regret it :D

[Collab anyone?]

Hey Scoop.

Sounds nice. I'd be interested in collabing, when I have some free time.
Add my msn, if you don't know it - it's hardstyle_brandon@hotmail.

To lower the lag, reduce some of the delay on nexus and bump up your audio buffer in fl

(Options>Audio Settings> and drag that little bar from 44ms to about 130 to play with not much lag, but change it back to about 60 when you want to play stuff on fl because the audio buffer gives fl more time to generate the sound you put in so there'll be a slight delay, i mean 20 extra ms - you wont see a change but at about 80-90 theres a noticable delay between the time u hit the key and it plays. But yeah try that)

Always works for me and I have a shitty computer with loads of shit running.
Talk to you later, I'll collab if you like my style.

DjSc00p responds:

I'd be glad to collab with you :). Im hoping to make this into a trance song maybe or something near that, so if thats your style then lets collab this lol. I'll try what you said and see if it helps, thanks a lot for the advice and how to fix it. I dont have msn so were going to have to talk through something else? Thanks for the review and score and give me a pm later when you have time and you want to collab.

[Tetris Type A]

O_O

Freaking awesome.!

At the beginning it slightly sounded like it had an asian music touch. But it's just the stuff you used that made me think that way. The percussion and the wavy violins and nice traditional chords sounded great.

Wish I could make stuff like this. It's a genre I want to make but don't listen to.
Keep up the good work!
