"Chemically."

Glitched drums and percussion -- I love it! The hoover was utilized very well, in my opinion. The piece that plays in the middle that sounds like a xylophone/bell thingy was odd, but it fits the overall feel of the track. The strings that play near the end of the track fit great with the phased synth (maybe a hat).

I might be wrong about a lot of things I've said, but I do know that this track is pretty cool. Nice job!

Score: 7

"Nice, nice."

This is pretty good for what it is. The second half was a little weird, and the four-on-the-floor kick seemed out of place, but that's just what I think. The clap was good though; I really liked that. Keep it up!

Score: 8

"It's good."

submission: Miles away from the sun

This is really good, I loved the synths. The progression was not too bad.

The only thing I didn't like was the percussion; I think it could be a lot better. Work on that. =P Great job overall.

Score: 8

"More~"

submission: [W] Shock lead [Demo]

When I think of hardcore, I don't think of something like this. I don't think this belongs under hardcore, nor does it belong in trance. The best place to put it would probably be techno, or even dance, since in Europe it's widely considered such, I do believe. Newgrounds needs some new genres in the list...

Pretty heavy kick, which I like in something like this. It sounds like Techtonik - good stuff. =P Keep it up!

Score: 7

"Not Enya. >.>"

submission: SizzloRox - Gladiator [RMX]

date: February 3, 2008

The song is called "Honor Him." It's from the original soundtrack composed by Hans Zimmer.

I really didn't like the kick drum; the gated kick didn't seem to fit. Personally, I think livelier synths (maybe with some chorus) could be used instead of what you have so far (they didn't feel uprising) -- that's if you're looking to create a more uprising song. Also, there was some crackling noise around 2:52. You may want to adjust the volume levels or compress some of the sounds or song overall. It would do a lot of good, trust me. =)

That's about all I've got to say. I don't know if it would be "perfect," but it might sound better with what I've suggested; who knows.

Score: 8

"Not too shabby."

submission: SizzloRox - Particles

date: February 3, 2008

Your melody sounds very familiar, I know I've heard it somewhere.

The bass notes are off, it's easy to tell. The same melody going on for four minutes isn't so good, it should probably vary some more. A pad might lift the second coming a little more, too. Other than these things which I've stated, you've got a snazzy track here. Keep it up.

Score: 4

"Something's wrong..."

submission: ][ Sound of My Dream ][{ReMiX}

date: February 2, 2008

I was disgusted with the progression of the song; nothing seemed to fit in place, especially the vocals.

The vocals were not in sync with the main progression of the song. I think the BPM may actually be the culprit, I'm not certain, though; it sounded bad. >.> Percussion was a bit poor and came in at what seemed the wrong time. The sudden attacks coming from the main synth near the middle of the song were not so good.

There are so many other things that caught my attention, but I won't post them here. Could have been better.

Score: 6

"Melody good, overall bad."

submission: ][ Secret Melody ][ {Remix}

date: February 2, 2008

Actually, your bassline does sound a lot like dj-Nate, B0UNC3, and a few others that aren't as well-known (at least to me). It's nothing new at all.

Honestly, I like the original more than this remix -- sorry to be so blunt about it. I think more effort could have gone into this; better percussion suitable for a mellow feeling, definitely. Work on it!

The original artist is DJ Toxic, by the way.

Score: 5

"Can be a lot better."

submission: Nebula (Demo)

date: February 2, 2008

To me, everything seemed really good... except for the synths. Horrible. Completely. You should definitely work on making them better than they are. And with so many different noises and note progressions going on at once (farther in), it feels too jumbled. It might help if volume levels were tweaked a bit as well.

If I were you, I would add some more effects to your instruments; they seem very plain and dull. Lastly, add some percussion, or you don't really have a trance track (I may have heard a closed hi hat). Maybe a heavier kick...

Work on it, and maybe you'll have a better piece here.

Score: 5

"Odd."

submission: Padded Symphony

date: February 2, 2008

The melody which the song begins with is oddly familiar. I know I've heard it from somewhere, but I can't put a finger on where it really came from; it makes me wonder if you may have taken melodies from other songs as well. I can't say for sure, however.

The progression of the song is very strange. A melody will be playing, and then suddenly it reverts back to how the song began. It's almost as if a piece of a song was chopped and played over again... very suspicious. I know that the song is supposed to mess with one's mentality, but still. I think this could have turned out way better than it has.
