Longest original song so far; 4:19. Very upbeat trance =)

I might do a happy hardcore mix of this eventually.

"you know whats funny?"

you know whats funny? everyone always analyzes a song waaaay too much. As a fellow music creator, although not a very good one, i never erally even care what other write unless its, "This was an awesome song" When people give me adive on what to do with the song, i never really care because i dont like to make more than one version of a song unless i really feel theres some potential there. dont get me wrong, some songs are really good to keep going with but not everyone of them should be remade.... in conclusion... stop acting like your some great critic and just say if you liked the song or not... keep it simple bitches!

"Pssh."

endless number talks WAY to damn much. 1:50 was fine, it gave it a little kick in the ass.

3:40 though, I disagree with endlessnumber there. It was bland and just like the rest...

I think starting and ending with synths was fine, and you didn't "Repeat" the melody, this is more like a... "Progressive" and "Transforming" kind of song, where you keep the main melody and just give it different... "Touch"...

Ok ok. I just disagreed with endlessnumber. Everything he/she, most likely a shemale, said, I disagreed with. And without purpose. I just don't like people who talk so damn much.

Song was fine. For now.

"Mmm... 1:50"

by: endlessnumber

date: February 5, 2008

You've got some good ideas. Then again I tell everyone that.
- Your kick is a little on the punchy side, needs more sub
- 1:50 is a bit random (what are you doing there?)
- Your arrangement is effective but your development needs work. I don't want to hear the same melody line repeated 20 times. It is quite hummable, but don't be afraid to develop it! Work with the rhythm or something. You did this a little bit at 3:40, but it's still the same melody, you need to bring in something more complex.
- Your chord progression isn't special at all, but it works
- How to start and end trance: NOT WITH SYNTHS. Start with a beat, bring your tonals in, end with a beat. Any respectable trance producer does this for his club releases because it is impossible to beatmatch with just your synths in there, try it ;) This may be an "easy listening" release but you aren't going to get any mainstream acceptance until you gain club acceptance first, so... yeah, work towards that. I hate to refer to my own work when reviewing as it is subpar but please listen to my latest work in progress - lay down your beat first. It's a little simplistic but you will get the idea, hopefully.
- Turn the lead down
- Maybe a more "advanced" pad, but just a personal feeling

Author's Response:

"How to start and end trance: NOT WITH SYNTHS" I was trying something different with this. My latest trance songs other than this "start out with a beat" so obviously I know where you're coming from and have done it countless times in songs. Either way, if my style is going to be classified as something, it's classified as J-style.

Thanks for the constructive review :)

At first I had a lot of stuff to say here, but then I had to remind myself that this is just a panel for my response to a review, and not forum. So I shortened it to a few lines.

I think it's great and all that Quarl got me up there.. but on the subject of actually being an underdog.. I just don't picture myself as that. I can't take Newgrounds that serious. Getting downloads around here is just luck. It does not matter what measures you take. It's a game of luck.
