[PaNdORA-Fragmented Memories]

Nice...

You know I was talking to you about this song on msn and even though it didn't seem to be to my taste it grows on me. Don't get me wrong, the song is good, just not my kinda techno. But I'm liking it more and more as I hear it so thats kool. I really appreciate it for its technical quality and the hard work you've put into it.

The intro is good. Not the best intro I've heard from you but it was different and it worked well with the song so thats always a good start :D The main sounds of the songs are awesome and I love the upbeat synth. It has a really good feel to it.

Also I'm glad you took what I said into consideration and did an intro that started off far away sounding but it seems like you left the pattern like it was and just edited the volume timing. With the fading in effect you coulda made the intro a bit longer to add to the anticipation but its no big deal.

The piano was a great idea! I love piano in trance/techno. I dunno why but when properly it works so dang well. This is a great example. I'm also very proud of my song Aspiration 3rd Edition which I was inspired to make when I saw how great the piano sounded at the end of the first edition. Ever since then I love piano. So yea, it was a great way to end it. I see 0 downloads in a day... wtf? *sigh* This song isn't gonna get the respect it deserves.

Not exactly my taste but its a great song. Keep up the work!

thanks you canadian bastard =)

[Fleets (1min 52sec)]

Really gamish

Not bad. I like the bass and all but I'm kinda stuck on my opinion of this. Its more game music than trance to me... but then again some parts are extremely kool. Try to turn the gameish parts into more dance like sounds and add a few kool synths in there and it should be pretty good.

I love the low frequency bass pad your using... its absolutely amazing with my big 15's pumping it out.

Keep trying!

AdmiralConquistador responds:

Yea I admit it was really gamish. It sounds good as it is but I changed the melodies around to make them more trancy. You should listen to the finished product, it sounds really cool, in my opinion. And that beautiful bass is still there, so your big 15's will stil be pumping out some sweet sub bass :D

[Acid Dreams]

Not bad...

Kinda crude sounding in the synth... and terribly short. It's not a bad sound and the echoed intro is a kool effect.

Again a 2-3 for length and quality but again I won't vote cause I either vote 5 for really good stuff or 0 for horrible stuff... anything in between I ignore cause I don't wanna cause any artist frustration.

Keep trying and develope your skills further and give a full song a try. Looking forward to seeing your improvement over the time to come. Don't give up!

See ya!

[This Is War.]

heh

I like the intro. The "prepare for launch" thing. But the explosions are horrid... sounds just like the ones in FL... Maybe get a new explosion sound? This could be the beginning to a decent song IF you drop that rediculous sounding explosion. Good attempt... I think its a 2-3 because its really short and the explosion sounds are horrible... plus some of the levels change during other sounds.

Good attempt. Try a full song!

[My Insanity--_--]

Insanity is bliss

Strange intro man heh.

But it gets interesting right away. That echoed "splash" sound is kool.

The synths are ok, they kinda slow down the feel of the song though. Then this really strange synth comes in the back, I like this new one. A really kool effect.
The transition is beautifully done. The drumroll is insane $$

But the song begins to go astray from how I liked it and you do another drumline transition very soon... and then another drumline.... this isn't that great. The beat after this is really kool though. The pad could use some tweaking or a change to a heavier, low frequency bass pad. But as it begins to end it comes together with this pad with just the drums and pad so its not a huge problem. I'd give this song a 4 but I'll vote 5 to compensate for the "troll"s that WILL VOTE 0... God I hate trolls. Keep up the good work BlackHawk. I'm starting to like your stuff more and more.

PERVOK responds:

thanx is all i can say

[Doomed to Life in Jail]

Not bad

The intro is pretty good. I like how you introduce the sounds and the effect on the synth, its a kool echo sound.

This is another basic song. Not a whole lot happens and it gets a bit repetitive but its decent. Get a few more sounds in there. A few more melodys to help it flow. I like the bass of this one. And the Whistle sounds are good.

These are some pretty decent "simple" tracks. But as I've learned, most people want cutting edge music. So don't be disappointed when people don't give you the credit you may deserve. I personally like the simplicity of your beats. I'll check your other stuff now.

Keep up the work and keep improving!

[Suburban]

Not bad...

Very repetitive but its a good beat.

I don't like that pad you used tho... but the scratched sound that plays late in the song sounds pretty good. Maybe add more scratching when this part comes in.

I'd say you should drop the strange pad and add a few synths and melodys. And maybe a low frequency bassy pad in the song to give it a kool feel. This could be a pretty decent song if you put a lot of effort into it.

Good attempt.

grahf677 responds:

thank you for your advice. i will attempt to make a better song!!

[Happy Trance -- --]

Not bad

Repetitive tho but good. Don't bed for mercy over your age :p You know what your getting into. Your pretty good tho. Just keep improving your skills. Look at Pandora_Tranquil. That guy is only 14 and he only started a few months ago when he asked me what program I used I think. He has improved so much that he is one of the best people on newgrounds. You have some talent to. Just keep improving it!

PERVOK responds:

hehehehe i no i shouldnt say 'vote high cause im 13 dude, c'mon...', but guess what. VOTE HIGH OR ELSE ILL KILL YOU. lol, sry, got a little carried away. well thanx 4 the review dude

[The Funeral March]

erg..

There are other ways to make the sound of a song sound "dirty" or whatever you want it to sound like without making it so distorted... Tone the levels down please! It's killing the song.

It's not bad, really different but its too damn distorted man... try editing it rather than massively overdoing the levels =/

[Dead Iris]

Not bad at all

First thing I noticed right away. The pad you use at the beginning... has and up/down flow to it... it is good but you have it playing one way too much and it makes it sound... it just doesn't sound right.

The symbols were ok but when you bring in the drums with symbols is where it gets interesting. Not a whole lot happens then till the kool synth comes in and really changes it. It adds a good flow and the lil symbol hits help. Then you bring back the pad and it all goes together its not bad.

My fav part is after this where a new pad comes in. From this point on I'm really getting into the beat. I suggest the first of the song be changed. and since your gonna use the same pad through most of the song, copy it and edit it a lil... make it a lil bit different at least. Maybe a lil filtering would help, and some extra gain on some of the levels would be good. possibly a blood overdrive if using FL. Not sure if the whole song would sound right with blood overdrive.

So yea, its a good song. Could use some tweaking, especially to that main pad. It has 2 diff sounds to it but there should be a few more.

Keep up the good work. This song def has a lot of potential, I'd suggest you take a few days to fine tune and edit it a bit and it should come out great.
