Not bad but.........

[As promised, I'm gonna listen to some of your songs now.]
There is one very serious problem: the bass melody of the first part creates a dissonance with the synth melody, and this is likely to ruin the song for a lot of people. I recommend very much that you change it. There is nothing wrong with the bass of the second part, thankfully.
In addition to correcting the bass melody, I think you should move the first part bass in stereo position higher and more backwards, because it stands out a bit too much from the rest, and that's weird when you listen to it with headphones. Adding reverb to the bass would also be nice. Also try converting at a higher quality and/or compressing, because the second part crackles a lot and has a general low quality. The file could get a lot bigger, you don't have to squeeze it in 1,9 mb when there is 6,1 more it could take up.
However, for a start, the iron drum synth thing is simply brilliant, it creates a fantastic atmosphere all by itself. The second part is also pretty nice, and the whole song is a great piece of euphoric trance. But the two parts are quite different, they don't really feel like the same song. Even so I'd give this a 10 or at least a 9, if the bass and quality problems were not present. Until you fix those all I can give is a 7. I know I'm being a little hard on you, especially since you're fairly new at the AP, but there are things like melody dissonance that can kill songs, and result in non-negotiable score loss in my rating. Lol I'm starting to sound like an audio scientist o_O
Ignoring the mistakes, it can be called very good work. For now I'll rather not vote. If you correct at least the bass melody and the quality, you can expect much more reviews and dls in my opinion, and my download and five for sure.

DjZombAid responds:

Well thanks, i always knew their was something wrong with the bass.. but didn't think of it so much as no-one really made any mention though i myself could detect it. I seriously appreciate your review i'm sure it's one of my, if not THE most well thought-out review. I will try to correct the problems you mentioned and perhaps send you a PM when it's done if you'd like. Also i know the 2 parts don't really gel together.. but that's kinda how i wanted it to be, i mean you know day-light being fairly different from night-time. And about the quality.. it's only 96kb/s instead of the normal 128. I did this because my internet was slow at the time and wanted to upload it faster (i'm rather impatient =D).Another thing i meant to fix with this song was the slight pop at the beginning, why it is their i am un-sure. But thanks for your helpful review and i shall try sometime soon hopefully, amidst my work and other such things to get this song completed to a satisfactory standard =].

Thanks again,

-Aidan.

ha..

lol really cool song a lot like the other one, (um the one i said sounded lk Sonic!)
awesomness!
keep em comin n gd work

*,*,*Sarah*,*,*

DjZombAid responds:

Thanks yet again =D
It's because it is a longer version of the 'other one' lol =].

-Aidan.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!=D

this is one of the best i've ever seen...the "electronic Iron Drum" efect along with the mixing effects gives all that caribbean fista atmosphere that all of us love... Congratulations to Martcore and you ZombAid

DjZombAid responds:

Thanks yet again =] Lol yes i quite like that drum affect too.. and to think at first it was going to be something totally different =P. Their is a major problem with the mixing though.. the bass not being loud enough etc and many other things but i'm still quite pleased. Thanks for your review =].

-Aidan.
