This is pretty cool
This is one of the few songs on this site that I actually like, and trust me, I'm picky. Hell, I don't like half of my own songs. But this one's cool! :3 Perfect amount of complexity, and I wonder if it would be even better with some lyrics.
GJ! ^^
PS what did you use to make it?
I used FL Studio 8 to make this. And yes i'd love to put some vocals to this. I'm just not set up to do that very well yet. Thanks so much for the review.
yeaa booooyyy
this is the music i like to get up to ..it makes meh qwant to facking run as mile it makes want to justy move
Awesome! Thanks for the review
Hey Renoak! nice work. Lots of things to be fixed.
Hey, Gratz on the weekly top 5. Here's my big review.
There's heaps of things that could have been fixed on this song. Such as the percussion, I mean I can hear a hi hat, a clap and a kick for most of the song.
That is all. For example in my songs I have atleast 10-20 percussion channels, and that is below average. To make a professional song you need to put professional detail into it. I'm no pro, but you can always try to sound like a pro.
(I listened some more and found some other things you used such as crashes and snares, and an occasional reverb sample effect.)
In your future songs try to put more detail into your songs, practice making random drum beats. Learn what works and what doesn't. If you don't have the sounds to do so pm me and I can hook you up with some free downloads of VEC 1 and 2. They're great sample packs.
The intro you made wasn't actually too bad. Came in quick, was straight to the point.
The breakbeat at 0:40 and so on, sounds very plain. You could have added a crash or something at the beginning of the breakbeats to kind of show some transition between the sections. Also breaking down 5 or 6 leads/arps to a single lead is a pretty large jump. If you're going to do breakbeats try to have a sufficient transition to match the change you want.
I noticed you used lots of arps here. ARPS everywhere. Arps are good but I don't like them as the main focus in a melody. I mean you did have a saws going, that was good but about half of the time they were masked by arps.
The bass was good, but the melody was fairly repetitive. (I think I already mentioned that :S lol) Hope this helps. And hope you understand all the stuff I wrote. Probably the biggest review I've written so far. You should be pretty happy about that. Personally I think you could have done better. Lucky shot at Weekly Top 5, but hey if I didn't get top 5 for my popular nu style song, I probably wouldn't be reviewing you right now. I'd be off doing something else lol.
Pitty you can't re-upload this since it's featured in people flash vids. Same thing happened to me. Gratz, but also bad luck.
Good luck with your future songs, this should be a great kick-start!
I think I covered everything. If you need any help add my msn. Hardstyle_brandon@hotmail, or send me a pm.
An honest 4/5 8/10, Keep up the good work.
Be sure to check out my stuff.

Thanks for the detailed honest review. These are the reviews we all crave for on NG. The very reason we all post on here right? lol. I completely agree with everything you've said. This is a very barebones repetative catchy melody song. Some good mixing, some nice sounds, some nice bass, some nice effects... but thats about it. And its basically where my skill level is right now. So I'm totally up for some lessons, because there is only so much you can learn from tutorials. So let me respond to some of your comments.
Percussion: OMG, this is definitely my weak point... I listen to Nubbinownz and i freaking want his drum and beat skills. Um, cornandbeans also, not to mention PX9 as well of course. I have VEC 1 and 2, I have watched tutorials on drum beats, i have gone to lessons on Reason with Nubbinownz owns which he basically all he does is drums. But what i really need is someone to freaking be here or collab with me so i can really see it applied and how it works into a song. Its like my brain just doesn't work that way. I can write a bazillion melodies and harmonies, and bass etc... but percussion... i'm a lame duck...lol. So i'd be up for a collab sometime and see how to implement different drum techniques.
Arps arps arps... lol. I guess i have no comment on that. Really, i do use an arp in eery song i think and this one its just the sounds that i felt went good together... um, bass was suppossed to break that up for me, and bit of saw.
Repetative, yes.... i made this song literally 10 minutes. The song i made this from i made in 3 hours. So to your lucky comment. Yes, it was very lucky to get best of the week.
I would absolutely love to re upload this, i actually can't to listen to the song...lol. BUT I do already have another in the works, that I'm trying desperately to get the percussion and DIF instruments going.
Thanks for the honest 4... and I'll go check out your stuff.
I'm running out of compliments to say in here
Great work on the song.
It really is good, I can tell that alot of work went into it.
It's the song that keeps you going, which I definitely look for in a song.
Again, good work.
9/10
5/5
AWSOME!!
this is some of the best music ive heard on NG. it even rivals some of Dj Nates work
thanks for the review.
Well, on a skill scale... i think DJ Nates is def above mine. This is a really catchy song but there are many musicians on here that dwarf me in skill.... one of those is DJ nate.
But i really appreciate the review. Thanks!
