[[hardstyle]~crump~tester~##~##]

Hey

The start sounds really good, really similar to the original which is good for a remix. The vocals seem to be a bit sloppy, you should turn the reverb down on them.

The leads sound great, very good for hardstyle!
Just add hardstyle effects and the lot to the song, like reverse crashes.. you know. Look at normal hardstyle songs if you want good examples.

When the kick comes in the kick is good but that bass.. its out of tune.
Listen closely and mod the notes to suit the tune of bass you want. Also look at the original song to see if you have the bass notes right, because it doesn't sound really smooth.

I think this will come out as a good remix :D Just a few minor touches

Keep it up

7/10

[Blue Fuzion - The Winter]

Inspiration

I find to make up my best melodies in little time. Most of the melodies I've made have been done in under an hour or so, 'sometimes' longer. But yeah eventually you get better and the melodies you make just flow.

Usually when you get a good idea, they come at the worst moments. Like when you're in the middle of class daydreaming.

I've learnt to write the notes down on paper so i can pick them up later or just record them into my mp3 humming the tune. It sounds stupid but it works. You gotta get it down as fast as u can because before u know it you listen to 2 or 3 notes of another tune and bam your melodies gone. If you do forget it and somehow you come across the first 2 or 3 notes in your head, before you know it you've remmebered the melody and humming it again in ur head. :D

Like geo said you can't really look for inspiration, it just comes to you. You can always make it come to you faster by listening to songs and watching movies but really you can't just find it.

Good luck though :D

Something to add, your musicians block is probably you thinking your music doesn't sound professional at all. Try looking for some sample packs and you'll quickly start pumping out songs and melodies.

Lol about the song, i think the synth is nice but it needs to have more added to it because it sounds kinda plain. The percussion is good but it's a bit too loud and obvious, like the clap gets a bit crazy by the end. But yeah, if you think about looking for some sample packs for fl let me know, I know a few you might want.

[Summer Blast]

Nice!

Nice man, the melody sounds great, not quite hardstyle like Sessile said but it sure is good and has some basshunter in it :D

The percussion is okay but i think it could have been harder and softer in places but overall it's really good. You should be up there for top 5, by the looks of it you're close, I mean 4.44 and 80 votes should get you up there.

Good luck.

Thanks man and I hope I do :)

[Naruto -Sadness and Sorrow-]

Epic song! XD

Anime music is awesome, Naruto is great and the themes are very nice. There are lots that I know but can't name. But yeah, good work.

To the average ng audience they'll just think you took a midi and imported it into fruity loops, but mmm doesn't matter what anyone thinks.

Just gotta add, even though this is great; you have to agree FF10 music kills this song from Naruto hands down. :D

oOkorobugOo responds:

XD I should make a song from 10, maybe to Zanarkand... though I might as well just learn that one on piano lols.
EWWW! *just noticed he made a note too long near the end XD* gotta change that fast... I'll get around to it later XD
Thanks for the review, I shall prove it to newgrounds that I'm not by getting the motivation to create a new song!!! (by that I mean an original, not a remake XD) ^^

[Eurodancer (Qwamii Remix)]

Nice

Nice remix, awesome classic :D I thought the stutter leads were cool with the kick and bass. Probably needed some deeper leads but besides that it was fine.

Good work!

This should go in the Hard Dance genre but since THERE ISN'T ONE HERE AT THE AP, I would say.. Dance

DJ-Qwamii responds:

hey brandy :pp haha!

alright. ive tried deeper leads, but kick killed the leads, and im too lazy to adjust it. :pp thanks for the review!

[{Dj-L} Violin Hip Hop]

Meonly70 responds:

I was thinking the same thing about the violin melody. Until i find a legit song with it, I cant say anything :P

And I gotta sleep early nowadays, for football practice in mornings.... I'll try to stay up long enough today if i can.
