The rush term may give ppl the wrong impression, but when ur in the zone, or ur mellowed out by some sort of hallucinations drugs, like "E" or weed, this a great some to listen to to take off the edge of ur day, very good, im really enjoying it

"could improve"

date: May 11, 2008

This was good, but it seemed way too mellow for the title "Rush". Maybe "Amble" would be a more fitting one. I suggest that you make the cymbals more prominent and varied in pattern. I also agree with J4YM4N; you should have the break in the melody be earlier. I hope you improve this, and I'll definitely be watching for the full version.
No pressure, take your time. :^)

Author's Response:

Mellow? Mellow was the last thing I was aiming for. o_O I was aiming for slow, yet dramatic... not a literal rush, but a rush in other ways.

If by cymbals you meant hihats, yeah, I can imagine those done a bit better, they're loops, after all. XD It would be a bit difficult, but definitely possible, I'll have to try it next time I open the project file.

And like I said before, the structure isn't set in stone. ;D

Thanks for the review!

"Unfinished Greatness!"

by: J4YM4N

I loved the break at 1.12. The tune then reminds me of "take my breath away" ha ha. Personally i think you left that break 1 repitition too long (sorry if i'm using the wrong terminology, what i'm saying is the break should of been around 0.55)
This is deffinately going on my car stereo as the bass in this is kick arse, but i believe - as you do too - this is a demo and has the potential to be real popular. Myself, i think its catchy and will be "in my head" for a bit.
Please Karco put some more effort and work on this and i can see this being played in clubs.
I gave an 8 because, although it sounds great its unfinished.

Author's Response:

Augh, I really should listen to more music outside of my comfort zone. I've never heard "Take My Breath Away." D: You kinda lost me there with the "break 1 repetition" part, but the structure's not completely final in this demo anyway. ;)

I try, I try! Thing is, the new break I made wants to split off from the original song and become its own song, so I need to figure out how to deal with that first. ._. That, and I have tons of stuff going on right now - WIPs, school stuff - there's not that big a chance much progress is going to happen.

Thanks for the review, glad you liked it. :)

ouCh
wtf dude
i had ear phones on
should have read the words first
great song btw
should make some the noise sharper
so it has a bounce beat with the bass

May 10, 2008

Author's Response:

Haha, sorry, what can I say to that? XD

Hmm, bounce beat with the bass? That just gave me the idea to sidechain the whole thing... :O Probably not what you had in mind but you might have just given me a great idea. :P

Thanks for the review, glad you liked it!

"Really good, but a bit too slow"

date: May 9, 2008

You should speed it up.

May 10, 2008

Author's Response:

The slowness is part of the concept of the song. And I tried speeding it up again the other day, it didn't work so well. :\ Thanks anyway for the review, though. :P

"OUCH!"

by: Oddler
date: May 8, 2008

hahaha. This thing destroyed my ear drums, dude, lol. I had headphones on and it totally pwned my ears. After the initial shock and some lowering of the volume I gave it a second go since it didn't sound like it sounded bad when I tossed my headphones off my ears.

You have a real interesting song here by the way. It doesn't quite feel like a demo since it's almost two minutes long but hey :P The song sounds generally pretty good and has a nice ring to it. Also....I hate to say and admit it but having the songs volume so darn loud made the song a bit more distinctive and fun to listen to than most songs. The only thing I would think you would need to work on the song would be to subtract a bit of the main melody and or change it up a bit. The ending was nice though. Not a bad song. I think it's worth about an eight in my books. I'll vote 5 too.

May 9, 2008

Author's Response:

Ouch, sorry! XD

Yeah, huh? Thing is, trance songs typically stretch to somewhere between six and ten minutes long. That makes this a demo. ;D What exactly did you mean concerning the melody, though?

Anyway, thanks for the review and the 5, glad you liked it. :D

"This Track Is.... Wait, Demo? o.O"

date: May 8, 2008

I happened to really enjoy this song; even though it is going to probably get a little work done on it soon. Even if you do come out with the final product, a track using this as its base, I'd still probably like it just as much- if not, maybe even more. This demo really caught my attention and made me pay close attention to the subtle rhythme at certain parts of it.

I think it was just around a minute and thirteen seconds into the track when you made that transfer over to a slower beat. No offense, but that transfer was a little.... ehh, I don't know; sudden maybe? To me, it went from happy-go-lucky and positive, to that wind chime-ish/soft sound and then to that almost steady beat until the end of the track. Maybe it was because I took a liking to the first minute of the track, but I found the change kind of sudden. Great job, I can't wait to see how this thing turns out! 5/5 ^_^

May 8, 2008

Author's Response:

I never made any changes in the beat, the tempo and drums stayed the same the entire time. If you're talking about the transition into that section, it was a temporary one all along. I did a bit more work since this demo and I ended up deleting it. XD

IF I finish it, I can definitely say it won't dissapoint. Thing is, it's going deadeningly slow. :\

Thanks for the review!
