[spacey techno loop]

well...

I'm by no means that great at "creating" music myself but I seem to be good at helping others so I think I can give ya some slight advice here.

First off those claps/hats have go to go or be edited better with less of them, it cheapens up the sound and throws off the feel.

Theres no melody/synth to flow the song. Melodys and Synths are vital to creating great trance and techno beats.

The bass beats are fairly simplistic too... It seems like you just imported sounds from the Fruity loops files and just chose where to have them play, with very little or no editing to the presets of the song.

You have thise kool sound thats... I dunno how to describe it... it plays at relatively the same pace thru the whole loop constantly... I suggest giving this a FX number, then "F9" and add a flanger to it at least. Fiddle with those F9 sound Fx's and such to really make a decent change and effect.

The whole order seems kinda un-ordered and sloppy... but maybe with some fine tuning it might be alright. I know I didn't give a lot of help but its some.

Oh wait... intro's... Slow buildups are a great way to go ;)

BlackLightning responds:

yeah it was just smething i through together a while back ill submit sme more stuff soon :)

[-API- Paradise on E [REMIX]]

Wow man

I really like your take on B0UNC3 Paradise on E! I know he spent a lot of time making his and he always puts a lot of effort into his songs. That being said, and for me knowing him outside NG to make me even more biased, you'd had to do a really damn good job remixing his song to impress me... and oh man am I ever impressed!

This is pro all around! You took an already amazing peice and made it better!!! Wow man, just wow...

I tried for a few mins just now to crit this from intro to outro in grave detail but its just a description of the song cause I can't find anything wrong!!! Damn you and your damn leetness!!!

Teach me! ;)

You get a 5... oh wait I found a problem with the song after all... you need to make the leetness last longer!!! I'm crying its so short :'( Don't make me cry man :p

Keep it up man.

[Pandora Tranquil vs SGF (full)]

Nice!!!

Since when did you know DJ Tiesto? Never knew you guys colaborated :p

But I love the "Traffic" inspired part of the song... fits really weel...

Well you know how I feel about this song. I gave you my biggest crits on msn a lil while ago. This is an amazing song that covers a bunch of slightly diff styles in terms of how the synth/melody's present the form of the song. It's really freakin well done!!!

(lost 1 point origionality for the Tiesto colab ;p)

Pandora-Tranquil responds:

i like to say he got owned at his own song, but dont listen to me =P

of course i didnt collab with him, hes prolly un-touchable, but i hated traffic, an liked its melody.

so heres MY ver, lol

[Pandora - Heavan's Redemption]

Dude...

Send Tom or Wade an E-mail from your registered email account and tell them your username and pw along with the reason you want your music removed (copyrighting it) and they will take it down. They are very helpful. Just be very clear, very simple and to the point and they should be quite helpful... another AP artist had his stuff removed.

To the song... OMG I shit my pants... this is amazing. I'm loving this. Everything is great. Levels are perfect as I'd expect from you. Freaking crazy synths, another expected thing and a really good flowing pace/bass to the song. But wait a second... I didn't hear your drumroll... Did I miss it or u didn't use it?!?!?! :p

Good Job.

-Fuel to fkin Fire

Pandora-Tranquil responds:

i did use it, but more equalized and it was longer, so it built up more.

thanks for being a person who cares enough to review lol i bet u liked the bass =P

[Misty Meadows]

Really happy sounding

Not usually my thing but it was actually really good. Not a lot big deal of changes but its such an up-lifting infectious sound I can't help getting into it... I was listening and at first I was like... meh I dun care for it much but after about a minute I noticed my head was bobing and my foot tapping so I was like... "that bastard!" lol

Nice job. Really mellow simplistic beat. keep em coming!

zeeber85 responds:

wow! thanks for the great review! i put a lot of effort into this one and spent a few days atually making sure it was ready to be released. Thanks again for the awsome review!

[As If The Night Is Gone]

Nice one man!

The keyboard gave it a real authentic pro feeling like it was being spun. The timing is not PERFECTLY organized like computer generated beats giving it that unique feel that really helps it out and gives it major impressive points! It's pretty trance feeling so yea, its trance. It's a good beat man. I'm really impressed with this.

What some people will say is "timing issues" is what makes this more impressive from the rest. I'm thinking of getting a cheap mixing table to mess around with more hardcore stuff myself... The computer stuff is a lil weird to me and I'm disliking it the more I get into the harder stuff. This is good. I might even have to get me a electronic piano lol. I love piano stuff and seeing as how u can make a kool trance beat on it as well it opens a lot of oportunities.

I'll tell ya more of what I think on MSN cause I'm getting ready to go to my gf's in hamilton. Found out a few hours ago I'm jumping on a plane to go see her lol. Wish me luck!

You should try another trance ;) This is really good! Kepp up the great work!

MilkMan-Dan responds:

lol As a note... he meant to put this review under "A Painful Melody"... his bad. Thanks bud.

[Life's Disease ReMiX]

Hm...

Very basic but the essentials are there. I'd suggest you keep working on this song for a lil while longer. It has some potential. The beat is rather infectious and I love piano melodys.

I'd really like to see this get developed further. Later in the song it becomes more complete for a while. You really have the hang of the basics. A lil further work on the "filler FX's" would complete this song. Not seeing a bass pad is strange but refreshing. I like the choice in quick bass hits. Really complements the feeling of the song.

What program did you use to make this? I wouldn't mind getting my hands on the file if it were made on FL if I were allowed :p

Well if your willing to let someone else tinker with your project contact me at [e-mail]

Good try. A very solid attempt. Keep up the work and keep developing :D

zeeber85 responds:

Hey thanks for the awsome review. It was very informational and yes it was made with FL studio 5. Not sure what more we can add to the song, but if you want i'll send you the fruity file and we can work on it to some more. My AIM is Greensweatshirt5, so you can talk to me there and i can send you the file. Just say who you are so i know.

[Not Again - We Are Back II]

Not bad...

No offense but unless Dance audio portal listeners download at an extremely higher rate than any other genre here, I don't think that 225 DIFFERENT people downloaded this in 7 days. Sorry but its just not that great.

It's a decent song but it just seems too bland. I lose my interest after a while. You have a good beat starting off but the buildup lacks. It's bassically the bass hits with a pad and one sound coming in twice then that weird noise... but it lasts too long.

The transition afterward worked well. The drumroll was so generic though. My buddy Pandora uses it way too much as well... it seems to be his signature drumroll now. But at least he edits it very nicely.

This song is good but its so basic. I'm guessing 7 patterns max if using FL studio's. No more than 10. This makes a good "demo" but if you put some more time into it, it would be a really good hit. (And I'd believe the DL # lol)

Good luck in future projects.

DJRunaway responds:

Actually 49 patterns... And it isn't Pandora's signature, it's used in almost every commercial production known to men.

[Chromatron - DinoActive *Like*]

Clipping

Clips a lot, or it just sounds that way. I'd suggest you go and fix this error. If your using FL Studios keep an eye on the monitor and don't let it go red dude. And if so bring up the FX's with F9 to see which part is clipping.

Well its an interesting song. You could drop the intro though. You might get more downloads that way.

A bit strange, but strange is unique so thumbs up.
You have a bunch of bass-ish pads/synths with the bass hits which really lowers your sound quality on good stereo's... my stereo was always hitting which makes stuff sound so horrible... On my computer speakers it was more clear, but only cause they don't pick up on bass well. Adjust the levels so it doesn't clip... use LESS bass and it should sound a lot better.

[B0UNC3 - Paradise on E]

Wow

I kinda wasn't sure if you were taking it in the right direction when u made Demo3 but damn man... this is sweet.

I can tell you put a lot of hard work just from the time it took to complete and you've never msg'd me on msn about a submission before.

Wow man, this is rock solid. Lots of changes, this thing never gets old. It's beautiful. I'm literally at a loss for words for how to praise this damn song. If this doesn't get #1 Top 5 Weekly I'll hack A-Bot ;) lol

Well dude you've really outdone yourself. Only thing is now is that you've set a new bar or excellence. Can you stay on this level? ;) heh I know you can. Well dude I think this is your "masterpeice" song so far.

Keep it up B0UNC3, this really r0x0rs my s0x0rs :p

Fuel to fkin Fire

B0UNC3 responds:

With its low score i doubt it'll even be on a-bots weekly favs.Sure i can set the bar even higher if you want..I only said i was exhausted, i didnt say i used up 100% of my capability.
