"An Inteserting DnB song"
date: June 11, 2008
I'll try the best I can to give you a good lengthy review. I'm not the greatest at DnB but I suppose I do know some.
Intro - You have my attention with the panning Synthe. Good job here it keeps me listening.
:30 - Around here you move to a more bass driven melody. It's a little weird to listen to and I'll admit I'm not sure if I'm into it. You continue with this melody for sometime maybe some more introduction of synthes could of helped.
1:06 - You enter some beep like structures I like them it sounds cool. You probably could of added them earlier on and helped keep my interest. The "beeps" fade and a new lead enters. At this point the lead sounds like it might be clipping and or distorting a bit.
1:44 Our lead seems to have gone away and we're back to the bass. It's bit of an empty zone nothing really attention grabbing.
2:10 (The Outro) - Sounds like a whole new song is going to start with some heavy reese basses and a great beat but it seems like were done. This song could be extended if you wanted to.
Things I liked! It's unique and keeps a good beat. Sounds very original too haven't heard anything like it yet. The intro is awesome too. :D
Things you could improve on; Repetition wasn't that bad but introducing different things couldn't do any harm. The song could use a lead that lasts a tad longer then the current. Your end sounds like it could go into something else.
9/10
5/5
Best of Luck.

wow! long review, and so much to say. i can see where you're coming from with a lot of that. first off, im glad you looked at each part individually as well as a whole. ppl who don't make music don't appreciate that stuff. i started out not having the little whip reverse cymbal in the beginning but attracting attention is what i found it to do. i can see how that area after the intro could get boring but it was mainly the introduction of syncopated percussion (claps and hats). adding things earlier wouldn't have hurt it though i guess. looking back on it, i can see how more of a focus on the melody instruments other than the bass would have helped.
lol, i was actually going to add on a whole other part after the 'outro' but i experimented and tested different things and unless i brought in a completely new leading sound, things would get boring fast so i decided to have in end like that.
with all of your advice i may just make the adjustments and repost it.
thanks for spending the time! glad you liked it.
