"Nice Track!"

submission: Aphasia [N3]

Hardhitting intro - Awesome. I have to agree w/ the reviewer below me - a tiny boost on the high freq (don't go crazy - then your track will become too tinny). Also the drumtrack to me was a tad boring. I felt like you need something more than just kick, snare, and ride. A high hat pattern would have been perfect. Even some random miscellaneous perc (bongos, or random percussive sounds) would have been cool. In fact, I can hear the bongos in my mind now.

Mixing sounded pretty solid other than a boost in the high freq. However, the pattern became a bit repetitive to me by the end. The pad/lead sound may have been a bit too overbearing for me to tell the difference in portions. So maybe a bridge type part where that's taken out or you bring down the cut off on it. Need a breakdown, I think. I feel like the song would be better if you started it around 0:30 and had your chorus part and used the intro breakdown part as a bridge or sorts. Then you could bring the energy up for last chorus.

All in all, great track. I'm not sure this belongs in hosue, but then again - I have no idea what else to classify it as lol... Keep em coming!

"Piano Melody"

submission: [N3] Without

date: October 28, 2009

When the beat finally comes in, it become very yummy. It could be an R&B song, pop song. It would be great with vocals.

Without the vocals, the piano gets alittle old in the intro, however it is a good composition. You can tell u have your feelings put into this work good job.

Score: 9

"Nice!"

submission: Clayface & Nexus- Rise of Kohc

date: October 19, 2009

Nice intro you have there. I like the piano with tempo changes. I also liked the glitch, but it felt a bit odd when the transition came in. Might wanna smooth the transition by maybe adding something like echos of the glitch parts or maybe a filter and volume automation in under the other piano part. That's just me nitpicking tho.

I like the verse when it gets going. Good composition and melody, but it feels a tad empty. Maybe some good counter melodies would complete the feel. This song also feels like it has space for vocals, so that could be a direction to go as well. With Vox or a counter melody, look into panning the lead R or L and having the counter-melody panned opposite. That could open room for some more synths.

Being nitpicky again, the synths sound a bit generic. Try adding in some sweet FX or using some different waves in your sound generator. It sounds really good, but the synths just sound similar to everything else. Nonetheless, it's still really awesome and enjoyable :P. The bridge/lull sounds awesome but it felt like the buildup/glitch should start sooner or the bridge should be shorter. That being said, I felt like the song should go back into another chorus before ending.

As for the mixing, I can't say too much, because I'm on crap headphones right now, but it sounds good and pretty tight. Nothing too muddy and everything's pretty clear. Only thing I could complain is that the bass doesn't have the same intensity as the. I expected it to be louder, that may just be me (or my crapsauce headphones). It could be mastered a bit better, but that's definitely nitpicking again :D.

All in all, sweet track! Would love to see MOAR of this! Great collab guys!

Laters.
