[Current Project]

I have to say, I'm usualy into more electronic styles but there is no denying the epicness of an awesome guitar riff with the right amount of distortion.

You have some terrific riffs going on in here with obviously a good amount of potential to make something bigger out of it but the production quality really leaves something to be desired. You need to try and give your song some sort of progression starting with the melodics. Every rock song follows a specific structure going bar by bar, not all tracks are structured the same way but they follow the same main ideas. adding drums to this would already make the progression that much more significant. One last thing is that you don't need to have distortion all the way turing the whole song. a cleaner alternative would be nice for the intro for example, opting for more traditional accoustic chords.

All and all, I enjoyed this but it left a lot to be desired.

Insomnimatic responds:

First off, I would like to thank you very much for the review.

I do understand the quality issue and I wish I had a way around it. With the equipment that I use it's hard to get a very clean distorted sound out of it. I currently use my Rocksmith Guitar Cable and Mixcraft with some different VST's to achieve the sounds.

I'm thinking of maybe adding a rhythm guitar along in the track so it will stand out a little more and give more of a full feel along with drums and bass.

Since you're more into electronic styles, I actually tried my hand at electronic music and I could upload it to see what you think. It is very clean and I was able to time everything really well.

This is a pretty good track! I recognize the nexus lol x3 You should try some extra filtering and automations for transitions and such, your intro needs a bit more build and your drums are a bit overpower. Also you should try leaving a bit more room in your mix because at times it does get rather cluttered. im not sure if you have reverb on your bass but taking that off would really help in the mastering aspect too. I like your melodics tho! If you work harder on the mastering and mixing side of your tracks you might have a better chance next year.

If you could tell me what you think about my latest track "My World" That would be sick as **** :D

larrynachos responds:

I'm terrible at mixing, so the instruments never blend together properly. Automations are nice, but I really didn't feel the need to include them in this song. I agree with everything else, though. Thanks!

[Dark light]

Pretty good! I'm a 5 year veteran of FL and i gotta say this is a pretty solid start! you want to remember to keep your instruments and percussions compressed and EQed and such but you probably have a long learning curve ahead before you really figure that out. Your melodics are solid tho! and your structure too. I dig it! If you could tell me what you think about my latest track "My World" that would be great!

0661 responds:

Hey man! Thank you for your rewiew and advice :D And yes I am and absolute begginer in Fruity loops, downloaded it for the first time few days ago, i just watched ytb videos about FL basics and decided to give it a go. Didn't do any mastering at all just playing with volume so yeah it still needs a lot of work. I'm glad you liked and if you wanna do some kind of colaboration I would be more than glad to do it, if not well glad you liked my song anywas :) Thanks! Oh yeah writing you a rewiew, peace!

[Atmosphere]

This is badass! No joke I havn't heared a trance track this good since the last time I listened to ASOT. I think you need to make your quiet parts a bit louder tho, when there's just one instrument playing you can raise the volume a bit.
Love the drums
Love the Melody
Love the bass
Love the lead although it could be louder
Keep up the good work broski! been following you for years and its still awesome

TerraNation responds:

yea i will do final mastering of this track, so everything will be ready for release :)

[Rebirth]

I really dig your rythme doge! But you need to get a lead in here, build and reese. it's just begging for it

[Young Girl]

Nice original song with a catchy melody and good lyrics! I definitly enjoyed this little song :3 I kind of wish you would play the guitar a bit softer tho and the vocals could shine through allot better if you record both separately. Also, You know there are some great drum vsts out there that sound almost as good as the real thing if you want to add a drum line without having a real drumer

All in all you've got great composition skills and a talent for the guitar but you need a bit more finesse when it comes to your guitar and a drum line would do this song some real good, i can promise you that. Hopefully with a little mastering and preperation, if you record this track properly you could make it a hit!

Keep up the good work dude!

Stereocrisis responds:

Thank you alias, I'm grateful that you listened.

[DarkCyance-TheNeurocyanti]

Awwwww Yeeeaaaah ;D That's the heavy shit right there! Your reeses are fucking amazing btw and I wish i could make such awesome drum beats but this is totaly freaking sweet dude! Mad props

[Make A Scene]

Damn dude i really didnt think i would like this so much but 's really quite original and the production quality is quite impressive! Although the delayed lyrics were a bit much at times, the lyrics were good and all the vocal clips were very well placed. I thought your percussions were great and that guitar really got me hooked. All in all props for a great track and double props for the originality. I think you're odds are great for the first round.

You don't have to but if you were to check out my entry, that'd be awesome! :3

Your intro was very quiet right off the bat but when the piano came in it really sounded magical. I also really enjoyed your unique sounds and progression. The hats couldn't have been better placed in the buildup. You had some interesting instruments although i didn't completely enjoy all of them you did have some great melodies going on. I really enjoyed the breakdown at around 2:25 also although it was rather sudden i did enjoy the change of pace and when the main melody came back in.

All in all, A good song with a unique structure. I enjoyed it allot and i look forward to checking out some more of your tunes.

geniebmusic responds:

Thank you very much for taking the time to review this song! I truly appreciate it.

I'm sorry about that opening. I kept trying to adjust the volume to get it right for the beginning, because I really wanted to do a fade in type of intro. When I checked it, I thought it was okay. I was wrong though :(

I'm glad you enjoyed the song overall. I'll keep working harder to make better music. Again, thank you for your review!

[Antiboringness]

This is a very interesting house track. You have some very good instruments here and an usual structure that isn't bad but certainly goes against the norm. It certainly caught my attention in the beggining, which i liked allot, i loved how the notes played faster and faster and you faded the 4/4 beat in very well, which is the part i like the most. but i wished that at 2:04 you would of kept going with a wider lead or a pad would of helped you achieve a climax. But all in all this is a quality house track and I enjoyed it allot.
