[Cynic Nghh Hype Track '11]

I don't care what everyone says.

This track is a win. The beat is mad, the keys are catchin and you've got just the right voice for rap. Lyrics are right on. Could use a bit more hat tho and the snare has too much res. The song is really on the short side too... but since this is ng i guess il let it pass. The mix is pro. except for the rappin being pretty quiet, but you definitly got a good chance in the competition. Good luck and good work.

Good looks

[Lovely Air [FINAL]]

Sick!!

I have to say that you are really starting to impress me. This sounds completely proffessional! The drums are mindblowing (wich doesnt surprise me) the best is very well made, the bassline is great... i dont even know how you made the intro... the way the drums just pop up after the intro is just superb. Next thing i would do is add a main melody in the higher register with the piano say... then bring in all down but that higher register melody. then pop back in with a more complexe/longer bassline melody and im sure the rest will come yo ya =D

pichuscute0 responds:

:D Man, Im glad you like it so much. The intro was pretty different then what I usually do for ambient sounding things. Layering and hitting random-ish notes on a pad with no attack and high release. Bassline is done in Reason. Freakin love Reason for basslines. :D Anyway, Im glad you like this. Im definitely gonna finish it, gonna work more on it tomorrow.

Sounds great!

Love the atmosphere you got here. For what i can hear you used the reverb quiet well. All your transitions are spot on. The voice thing at 30 seconds in is nice but a bit loud for my tastes. The instrument selection is also very good. You got an excellent groove going ^^. Keep it up! I love it!

Decibel responds:

Aw shucks =D

Thanks Haha, I'm glad you liked It =D

[[DJ_ITD] - Physics]

This is mad!

I love this mix! Great progression! The mix is pretty good too although the reverb is a bit overdone at times and i think it deserves a fater bass but besides that, the percs are epic (besides that snare/clap/hihat wich needs a bit less highpass). Opposed to what my review might sugest i did really like this mix. Newgrounds needs more artists as talented as you.

djInTheDark responds:

I haven't done any major EQ'ing yet so thank you on the feedback for that. It's more valuable to me than you might think. Thanks again for the EXTREMELY helpful review!!

[->>Just The Way You Are<<-]

WOOT!

Wow guys. What a song... So much emotion! So crisp and clean, so upbeat, so... Amazing. This one is definitly one for the books. You guys really got something going here! I love the drums and the pads especialy. they are perfect for eachother. And omg russel. I'm definitly not as good a singer as you are. Not yet at least, i can always dream tho. ^^

5 Line Records FTW!

Haha thanks man xD

Can't wait to hear your stuff! Get a mic!

[Mau5mate - Rain Forests(OM)]

Wow.

I've listened to this mix for a couple of weeks now. and i must say, if it wasnt for the audio quality being so terrible cause of the 8mb limit on newgrounds, i would be playing this 24/7.

I Absolutly love this song cause of the smooth beat its got going and for all the textures of the synths. You've made every instrument choice spot on! And it's really fun that you made this such a long mix cause i get to hear all the different combinations =D. My only real complaint is that, for the end of the breakdow(if you can call it that) at 3:57, it would of been cool if you could of let the reverb settle down and give the song a slight pause. Anyway, amazing mix!

Btw: what vst did you use for the lead? I've been looking for a sound like yours for a while now and i cant seem to find any solution.

D-Chain responds:

hehe thanks dude! :)
i would be pleased to give you the full 21MB track which got FULL quality.

and for your idea on the reverb, maybe i will take that one into a next tune :)

and for you solution, the solutions is: Vanguard VST.
most ppl dont really look for a sound like this, in Vanguard .. but there is one in the standard soundbank.
as for zeta there's one too thats called: Chords Of Life, can be found in soundbank C

Thanks for the review!!
