JESUS CHRIST!
This slapped me in the face! When I hear that intro synth, my face melted.
God this is good. A little slow, but still amazing. I really like the twinkle sound every now and again, really brings a sense of beauty to the piece.
Overall really amazing job.
Keep doing what you're doing!

Ha, glad you liked it! It's still a WIP but it's giving me all the trouble in the world to finish it. :\
Hope your face gets better. :(
Thanks for the review, glad you liked it! :D
cant wait for the real song!
I love it. you know... i've been playing Dance Dance Revolution for a few years... and you know what... This needs to be on ddr... cause its that good. Sure... it could be faster... but then again... i like the slow ones on occasion... and i think that making this song faster would kinda ruin it... but hey... you could always have 2 versions as well.
DDR? Seriously, everyone's saying huge stuff about my music. That's pretty awesome. :D
I don't think I'm going to make two versions. :P
Thanks for the review, glad you liked it! :D
wow!
listhened the reversed one earlier. wel what cant i say
since its a demo , so its kinda limited. so, my review will also be limited just to annoy you ^^ k thx
first things i noticed. the BPM. increadibly slow. 125 bpm? maybe 127...
a bit too slow to my opinnion since it was ment to be a 'rush'. some other guy in those reviews says the same thing. well since trance is like the mental abstractial drawn characters of drawn music it doesnt need good names. ( but dance tracks dont have better ones, i bet there are over a billion with the word 'love' in it....) anyways back to the song
'reverse kick' whooph straight into the chorus. so this is right after the bridge i suspose. the beat is actually quit nice with that bpm. kinda, dancy for trance. slow. big Hihat gated clap pumping kick is a good mixture. the lead. well that wouldt be my first choice. but it isnt my song. i would make it a bit softer. and more reverb :D yeah. oh by the way. i really dislike the bass. its so dull. not only that its just... not right. maybe it kinda fits to your idea of the song. but it only makes the song feel slower. if you spice up the bass a bit it might be a bit better. or.... sidechain.. ( hmmmm sidechain ). sidechain is, and will always be my second love. nothing better but sometimes its so useless. i wish you could sidechain evrything! ( sidechained cheesburger.... ) ah anyways. next thing. Teh P@dz. ( the padds ) those long chordy angelic sounds. that surtanly adds an extra touch to your song. makes it more trancy, and a bit more uplifting feel. since it works very well with the melo. but since its kinda fade in... erhm hard to explain but it takes awhile since it reaches its normal sound. if you layerd them. and start a bit earlier overlapping eachother, so the peak hits the exact time of the next bar. or maybe not. it adds a bit difference in the song. enuf about the demo. what to improve.. well well, how about some more fx? or maybe a drum-drop. you could try some more fx to make it more intesting. maybe a second melo? what to expect? a long bridge... i think. maybe a short complain about my review.. ah what the hell its an demo ;) we newgrounders must just wait for the final version to pop up. i hope it exceeds my expentations!

Woah, huge review! :O I'll do my best to respond to it, but we'll see... (Oh, and I doubt that this is in the least bit limited. XD)
It's at 109 BPM and it doesn't have to be a Rush by being fast. ;) Think about the song, and don't limit yourself to the first way that comes to mind... go past the surface. ;D
Yeah, this'll probably go after the breakdown, but we'll have to see. This song could go in so many different directions, and maybe it won't go anywhere at all. Who knows? ;D Glad you like the drums and the lead... and you seem to be a fan of reverb and delay! :P
Hmm, you're the first one to say that the bass is dull... I wanted it to be dull, to be honest, while not being too "bassy," and providing a good harmony. It might be an opinion thing, but the only way to find out is if more people tell me what they think, right? ;) Sidechaining is actually a really good idea, considering the bass in the first half of the beat is almost inaudible. :\
Sidechained cheeseburger. XD
Glad you like the pads, and yeah - what you're talking about would be the attack of the pads, which is how long they take to get to their maximum volume. Call it the "swell" of the pads. :P It's really tricky to work with, and it's a background pad anyway, so I think I'll probably be leaving it as it is.
More FX, drum-drop, both great ideas, thanks! :D I already have a second melody, maybe I'll make a long bridge, I have a few ideas for that one. ;)
Hopefully it'll exceed your expectations! ;D I've got a different song coming first, which is a shame as so many people are asking me to finish this one! D: Ah well, hopefully you all can be patient... the next song I'm going to submit will be my best! >:)
Thanks for the HUGE review, and once again, I'll give your stuff a look! ;D
Eh?
Not sure if you want me to review the reversed version or this forward version. I decided this one. Here is my review...should be shorter since less than a 2 minute song.
Good:
1) Party feeling...check. The bass sounds pretty cool. The kick and bass combination works quite nicely.
2) The higher pitch instrument is playing some kind of tune I'd hear in a anime. Nothing wrong with that since I WAS a anime fan before. I lost interest in it though. The storylines are all the same and the harem just makes me sick how girls are seen as people with no minds. My friend (who is a feminist) would kill me if she saw me watch a harem. :) Anyway back on topic.
3) 1:13 I like the soothing instrument. I think you had it playing before but I couldn't hear it.....see "uhh" category
4) The song doesn't seem that repetitive....but then the song is short. If you do add a intro and ending make it different melody wise.
5) well you said you didn't have a ending but I did like the "ending" of this demo with the chimes.
Uhh:
1) So back to that soothing sound. I couldn't really hear prior to 1:13.....unless it actually wasn't playing at that time. I think it was though.
2) I'm not feeling a RUSH. Oh well, title change? No big deal
Not much else to say. I guess when the final version comes out I could review that. Though you did say this demo is pretty much the final version omitting the beginning and end. Why would you make a reverse one though? Bye for now
Either version is fine with me, and a shorter review is ok - this is just a short demo, after all. :P Going down the points one by one...
Good
1) Glad you think so, they were probably the hardest parts of the song to work with.
2) XD
3) It was playing through the entire song. ;)
4) That's the thing, if this song's going to get finished, I'm going to have to do a LOT more work. :\
5) Hmm, that just might be how it'll end. :)
Uhh
1) It WAS playing, but it was just a filler synth - there would be a bit of an empty feeling without it.
2) Think beyond your first impression... listen closely! ;D
Nothing's final yet, we'll have to see. ;) I made a reverse version because I liked Rig's idea and wanted to give it a shot. :P Thanks for the review!
hehe
Loud beginning, wished it would of progressed into that, but oh wells, it's a demo =)
Potential all over the place in this song, and I def can get the Cordis feel from the bass.
Killer track and massive props =P
That beginning may or may not be the actual beginning, I've gotten a few other ideas and I'm going to try them out.
Hm, I didn't get the idea of the bass from Cordis. But hey, glad you like it anyway. ;D
Glad you like it, thanks a lot for the review/high ratings! :D
