[EBM Track- Instruments]

another good one

not quite as good, intro instrument that sounds like it is clipping (not sure if it actually is or not) that also plays in other partds of the shong needs to be fixed or removed, maybe eq it a bit, reduce attack, increase a sustain, seeing as it has no sustain, and maybe give it a eq set above the maind synth, could be nice and catchy. the main synth is awesome, some occasional notes sound sharp or flat, dont know if this is the instrument or the actual notes it is playing, but it gets annoying at times, but in general it sounds awesome, theres the right amount of filter osc on it, is that some sort of preset? or did you make it.
also , i like the snare/clap thing, sounds high, but mellow and not harsh in any way, crash cymbol could be tuned back a little bit, they are higher than the rest of the drum, except the more reverberated snare, which sounds good where it is at.
um, also like the bass synth, though i would eq down a bit on the higher frequencies of its attack, and eq up on the lower frequencies around 200 hz?

innu, just suggestions and oppinions, im not very good at making music...

also i like the soft strings in there, nice touch

DomesticTerrorist responds:

Thanks man! I noticed some of the things you mentioned myself but it would be hard to fix each one without compromising the songs integrity. I think the sharps and flats you notice are from the synth presets, some of them do that on purpose. The synths are all Sytrus btw.

[Cryostasis= Instruments (EBM)]

wow

i wouldnt concider this fully industrial, but it is amazing, very well mixed, nice soft drums, lead is in lead, but not too strong in any frequency range, just close enouhg to sound great.
love the weird scratchy distorted snare like thing that happens every bar.
if there is a kick, its too soft, but sounds like you just got low echoings of synth taking the place of kick.
very nice overal, great melody, and catchy, intro and outro kinda weak, but it makes it have a great loop

i was listening to it for 20 min without noticing, good job

DomesticTerrorist responds:

Haha thank you! I'm glad you liked it. I suppose it would be classified as "Aggrotech" but most people call it Industrial/EBM

Thanks again!

[One Winged Angel (Metal)]

fucking godly

haha, i like the happy (ish) breakdown at 3:00, and ewnding is pretty neat sounding, the rest is just plain awesome metal with great drum beats, great guitar licks, and great mixing, good job guys, 5's for everyone

[Over the edge (instrumental)]

wow

ok, 4 years after it was made, i still think its amazing, i guess time doesnt improve newgrounds music like it does it's flashes, i love this song, realloy well done.

[happy little biscuit]

haha wow

that is happy, i have never heard a harmonica in ng before

did you actually make this?

it sounds professionally made, it is mixed really really well.

Psychopath responds:

Thanks! And yes I did make it myself. Thanks for the support!

[Grave Rave]

weellll

the main concern for me was the high hat:
____ _______
___/ \_____/ \
___ _____
\____/ \_______/

is an ugly waveshape for a high hat, seeing as it is carrying the rythm, you need a high hat with a quick attack, and a single hit, instead of 2

also, the reece needs a bit of mixing, i know i know, lots of bass, i used to do that too, but there IS such thing as too much, i have found out, when i finally got sick of hearing it in my own songs, also, you may want a high frequency instrument, it may not seem right, but it is usually neccessary to hold a song together.

also, you should switch the drum beat up once or twice, then you could make it longer and not have it repeditive.

i liked the kick and snare, and the low bell thing, good job on those, really nice

New-Milkman responds:

Forgot to mention in the description, all the drum samples were cut up in the Fruity Slicer using navij11's break samples he provided on Christmas.

As for the bass, I didn't find it to be that bad on my speakers. Then again, I like to have lots of bass, maybe more so than some people like And with anything drum and bass, I like to really stay in the low frequencies, but I guess I could have mixed it up a bit more with some higher sounds once in a while. I'll see how I can tie things up with higher instruments next time.

I'd have to agree with the drum beat, it gets played way too much. But I had some problems thinking up of any other ones. I'll see if I can write up some diversity while keeping it somewhat the same next time I do something like this.

Thanks for the review!

[Dreaming of You <(^^,)>]

nice

funny how it sounds more like bounc3 than basshunter, meh

also, song is great and all, but i dont know why it is rated so high, i like some of your songs more than this one

[Rave? Yes.]

hahaha

I clicked on the song because of the awesome name, and reveiwed cause it was actually good.
the osc synth sounds awesome, and the strings are good, but the bleepy leadish instrument kinda got annoying after a while, but this may well be because the song didnt build, also, the kick needs fixin, but everything else is awesome, has potential to become a really good song

[Dj Otherworld - Dreamride]

well

song is outrageously amazing, i have to say, BUT

if you are making drum and bass, you gotta know what instruments to give more bass too, I think cetain instruments you had either had too much (pads and piano) and some had not enough (kick needed some 500Hz, synth coulda used more bass) its still amazing though, im not gonna go into it, cause its too much

raretools responds:

Thx for the tip and great review.

[Crushing Impact of 1,000 Tons]

nice

pretty good, the kick was nice and strong, almost too strong, just enough though.

guitar sounds great, both of them

only flaw in my oppinion, is when you have the crashs go off on the left side, it emphisises how much the drums are panned to the right, which is bad. the drums would be great if it wrent for that, and maybe center the high hat a bit, but only the really high end of it
