[My Mechanical Nightmares WIP]

Heh ;)

I don't know if this is the track you wanted me to rate when you responded to my buildup song - but I'ma do so anyway.

First off,
The overall theme is supposed to be "nightmare" am i right?
IF you're going for the scary approach, then I think it's pretty amazing as it is right now.

If you wanted to head for techno, or evil - genre of techno, then you'd have to make some changes.

Anyway, good song overall - 5 x 9 from me! :)

aloneagainfriend responds:

thanks dude... And its not gonna head for the techno genre... i plan to keep it as metal as possible.. the second half (the techno) isn't even there in the version I'm workin on now... :) Thanks :)

Kick

Since this is after all a WIP, I must say from past rave experiences, that Hardstyle is a bass based genre with melody, buildup, phase, buildup, and other sorts of common trance / techno characters.

Overall, your melody is fine, but your kick overall is just not powerful enough.
If you're going for the hardstyle approach, I strongly advice that you up the kick, and the bass / distortion ( which ever you have following the kick,).

A little tip for your melody: When your melody kicks in with the lead: about 1:02 / 1:30, the melody remained untouched, Pitch-wise. You should take copy some of the notes, and add on a higher note on the final melody that mixes with your kick, to create a bit of a "buildup" approach, which hardstyle is all about.

Other than those few things, it's an excellent song overall, great potential.
Keep it up!

Dj-Brand0 responds:

Hey Splice. Thanks for the review.

I understand that the kick is a bit low, and I can fix that, same goes with the bass.
But overall I think I should have said hard dance instead of hardstyle because what i seem to make isn't really hardstyle but some type of hard genre. I guess I'm leaning towards the dance category.. But yeah, thanks heaps for the advice.

Thanks heaps!

[Village [Redux]]

I'd love to live in this "village"

Great tune - I'd be honored to have this melody play in a village of which i lived in. xD.

ErikMcClure responds:

The village in question here is similar to the one outlined in Ryanide's Two Heroes, but is imagined as a small desert stopping place. As you walked through the entrance, the guitar would kick in, and after the melodic portion given here, another 2 minutes would be fairly ambient until it looped. The song is designed to give the town an ancient feel, and yet also a feeling of safety.

[Super Mega Hyper Idea Mas]

And again -

Great title name xD
It's those names that bring my eyes to this.
Beautiful choices btw, ;)

ErikMcClure responds:

lol thanks XD

[Styrange Loop 2]

Ughh

- Great overall sound. However, I'm sick and fed up with hearing all these FL studio default sounds!
Those can reaaaally kill a song's overall enjoyability.

KI1 responds:

Yeeeeah, I know. Trying to find some sounds and stuff or mabey make my own >_>
Oh, by the way, I'm using the demo version of FL ssssh, don't tell anyone though. Uh, if you're also referring to the doorslam sounds near the end, it was an inside joke with one of my friends from my first song :P
But yeah anyways, thanks for bothering to review.

["Jumping Higher"]

Great song

I use FL studio too. Your work seems to be very good.
I myself am still a beginner, and could use a lot more help and advice lol.
I like almost every one of your songs.
Keep it up!
