RazielReaver is a dumbass

Yeah, it's not your best track, but it's still a pretty good song. Definitely not a 0/10...what a dumbass.

Good work man, keep it up.

Awesome

The strings and synth at 2:14 are amazing. Great job!

Overall, really nice song.
Great change of pace from the usual stuff that goes up on NG.

2:14 onward reminds me of movie trailer music :P

Good job.

Shamukh responds:

Thanks. I spent quite a bit of time on this. Most synths you hear are self-crafted with 3xOSC. :)

"5 it deserves" uhhh, what?

Was okay.
Average trance song.
The melodies in the main sections of the song weren't really that engaging, and some of the decisions you made regarding kicks and percussion were really weird. For example for many of your kicks, you've layered it with a snare, which sounds really weird.

It was really repetitive towards the end as well.

Overall, it was decent.
You two work well together though, it was a fairly coherent and fluent collab.

roojrotc responds:

thanks for the honesty ^_^ and i'm glad you atleast some-what approve.

Pretty good.

I think you should credit the artist who you took the bells sample from, as I know for a fact that's not original.

In fact the melody at 3:04 sounds really familiar aswell, but I'm not 100% sure so I won't say anything else about it.

Overall, this is a good track. You need to work on your kick, as it sounds really filtered out. Also, this probably should've been a 4 minute track, there's no that much variation so it kinda gets boring, pushing on 7 minutes is a bit much.

MadGuns22 responds:

I never known there was another person with the bell sample!

As i said, this is the 7mb mp3 version. The full sound version is 9MB so yeah, the kick got filtered because of that.

I Don't know why I make long tracks... I just do.

Thanks for the review.

Sharper?

I have no idea if this is going to make sense, but it feels like the sound needs to be sharper. Especially the kick, it needs a bit of "punch" to it. The melodies, structuring and pacing are done really well, it's just that the whole track sounds very washed out.

It's kinda missing top-end sound, and since everything is deeper in tone, it kinda mashes together.

But yeah, you'll probably fix that for the full track, which would make this a 10/10 and 5/5.

Good work man, especially for something done in 45 minutes.
Work on the above mentioned points, and you'll have a really good track.

Dj-Brand0 responds:

Yeah I agree, that filter we were talking about did the job, like you said.

Thanks for the rate and review Jackson.

Okay

The beginning almost made me just give you a 3/5 and leave, but the song really improves when the first proper melody comes on.

One thing I'd say is that you needed to use a different kick sample(s). It's cool to have the same kick for one part of the song, but one thing I've noticed in a lot of hardstyle is that there are different kicks for different parts of the song.

Another thing is your gap between segments; they sound cool but you need to maybe add some automated delay to your lead, aswell as more reverb to the crash you use, so that it doesn't feel so sudden and forced.

I like the variation in melodies, and the different sounds going on in the background, it kept the song from getting too boring.

I'd give you an 8 or a 9, but that intro sequence was a little too off for my taste.
Overall, good job man. A very nice hardtrance tune.

7/10
4/5

DJObsidianDarkbeatz responds:

lol yea i know, that intro was my worst yet XD
and i only have one sample for the kick, so i cant really do much... but ill look for some new ones later, i was really bored making this song, its not my usual style anyways lol
thanks for the comment :)

Why the fuck was this on 1.5/5?!

Great track man.
I really like it, it's really well put together.
It's going on my iPod :D

Cheers for the review on my song, btw.
Have a good one.
5/5 10/10

DjMontana responds:

Hey jacksonalsop,

Thnx for the rating ! :D i don`t know why it scored so low !
Looks like a song in a different direction is not being apreciated !

Thnx for comment :D

Don't bother with Newgrounds man.

This track is really good; don't be discouraged by the low scores you're inexplicably receiving. I think it's because the average Newgroundian likes techno and trance, not House.

Personally, I love songs like this.
10/10 5/5

EspacX responds:

I'll be uploading at least 1 trance track tomorrow when im over my limit.
Thanks for the response:)

Really Awesome

I can't wait to hear this as a full track.

Kazmo responds:

Thanks! I'm glad you liked ittt.

Neither can I...I hope I finish this. lol
