[We Believe Ep.1 - F-777]

Hey F777

Nice song you have here. Sounds like another good song by F777, Gotta say I love you're song in weekly top 5, I should be mentioning this there not here... o well. Nice song you've made here. Should make for a good series. Good luck with the songs coming up. This should be another hit. Good bass, good tunes, good percussion, setup was fine. Overall great.

F-777 responds:

Wow thanks man! I will review your song on the top 5 =D!

[Of Wonder and Mischeif]

Great

The start was great, loved the flutes and chords etc. The percussion wasn't as bad as what others have said. It really brought out the mischief in the song. Although that triangle, 'ting' you used in the percussion sounds too high and alien. Very interesting style. Surely has potential.
10/10 5/5

[On we go]

Out of the ordinary.

I would have to agree with Timmy but not about the 0 vote. The start was really slow and it kind of put me off wanting to listen to it. The percussion is very repetitive for about 30 seconds at a time. If you sped the progression up more, this could be a great song, because you'll get more listeners and progress further into the song; in return making it better overall.
If you construct an introduction you don't have to go through the whole sound introduction, which takes a while; it brings you into the song faster.
Hopefully this helps. =D

Thanks, this does help! (wow I need to check this more often lol) I'm probably gonna overhaul this song now...

[Dance in Silence]

Fantastic XD

Great job truly sounds epic. Keep making songs! With all the new Asian 3d mmorpgs coming to life you should have a spot in there for bg music.
Gl with your future songs.

InnerFlame00 responds:

Thanks for your great review! I really love writing music, so doing it for a job would be super awesome hehe

[Dance in the Sunlight]

Wow

This sounds really cool. :D It's really relaxing and peaceful. Would be great background music for an online game. Love the flute in the background also, sounds great. Great composure of notes, greatly adds to the atmosphere.

Good work, love to hear more !

InnerFlame00 responds:

I'm glad you liked it! This was actually a slight change from what I normally do, so I'm glad it turned out well.

Hmmm..

I think first off i agree with Dj infinity, for my liking it is an unusual hardstyle song, there were a few sections in the song which I couldn't think of a genre to fit. From 1:42 - 4:40 I would call that hardstyle, but the rest could need a touch up.
Personally I don't like the bass. I'm used to listening to the traditional hardstyle/nu style bases, they usually all have something in common but the bass you used in this is weird. It doesn't sound like a hardstyle base. The lead is good, the bass in the main melody is too high, lower it and it should sound much better. I got no idea what happened between 3:48 - 4:01, very unique choice of break beat. Big review :) Gl with ur future songs.

To the parts I liked 10/10 5/5, the whole song 8/10 4/5.

Hotplurplegnome responds:

this is more old skool hardstyle than nu-style and yeah the main bass was a bit wierd i know...
thanks anyway for a great review and you should listen to more oldskool hardstyle like zany, showtek and so on
but yeah THANKS!

[Yelltek - Maddah Fakkah(D]

Nice rhythm ;)

Sounds pretty good, nice nu style. Good lead, nice piano, good pads, nice kick + bass. Overall it's pretty good. One thing, did you make that kick yourself or have you got a sample pack? I've been looking around for some nu style sample packs but so far I've only found a few 10-20mb useless packs. I was just also wondering where you got them, if you did get a pack. Thx.
I made this new song, it's called Hard Soundz, it's Nu Style. See what you think.
Thx

Yelltek responds:

Thanks man, i listened to your song, its great! :D
I made the bass by myself but the kick is half homemade, i took some other sample and mixed it up, i can send you some good samples i got, just add me on msn ! :)

Hmmm.. :)

Hey Cyberpot ;)
Still using the old Fl sounds I see, but you still did a good job. Just a few things need to be tweaked. Such as adding of a propper bassline, I would say the kick isn't loud enough and it is too umm.. how could I say it, hard/high.. I like clubby/trance kicks and I think that they would suit better. I don't think many people review songs purely made with fl defaults, because they find it hard too say it's good or not. Like i said a while ago, I gave you links to Vengeance samples, you should consider downloading them because they'll make your songs sound 10x better and 10x more professional. My vote 5/5 10/10 ;D
Thats all for now ;)

CyberPot responds:

Hey Dj-Brand0.

Actually i tried to download them some day, but i had to download some other torrent program or something like that. I did but it still didnt work, i downloaded the torrent from pirate bay. After a while i gave up. Instead i have been downloading some free VST´s, from the new, which i use a lot now. Anyway, if you could tell me how to download the torrent i would be happy :D

[Vortex of life]

Hmm... the arp :S

Overall the song sounds professional, however I don't like the arp that you used. I loved it from 2:00-3:10, then the arp came back in. I'm not saying it's a bad arp but I think it was a wrong choice. The tune that is introduced at 2:00 is great and I loved it, although you could have incorporated that into more parts of the song. But instead you introduced the arp it back in and cutting out all the good tune with a repetitive arp. Intro was great, outro the same, overall sounds, not too bad. :D
Damn I hope I don't criticize too much. :\
Good work, good first two songs, keep it up.
4/5 for the song *12/10* for the tune (2:00~3:00) :D
=_=" can't go over 10/10 ^^
