Reviews for "Aspiration Rd. 2 {NewYear Mix}"

Very generic...

I agree with the other person that gave you a 2 or a 3, everytime i go on the audio portal and see the top 5 it is always full of shitty generic techno songs that ALL SOUND THE SAME!!!! There is nothing unique about it, and no one with the right musical mind would bother listening to it. Would you listen to 1000 songs that ALL SOUND THE SAME?

Find me another song with the same melody?

Nice idea, poor execution.

Bad Build-up/Arrangement, You need to work on your mixdown some sounds are weak or bad EQeud, too much highs on that main synth. Too much use of filtering, that's ruining the mix. Btw, it has an nice feeling the ideia is good but poorly executed.

b0b3rt responds:

Yes, I just learned how to do filtering and this was mainly an experiment in it. Thanks for the 3??

Needs serious improvement

Good remix but needs different synths and kicks and such. The whole song sounds like an intro that could be somthing good but it goes from intro back to song back to intro so i really could tell when the song started. The ending is also somthing like a very bad cliffhanger. The song just ends, just there, like that.

I assume you used FL to make this, if you want to retry this somtime hit me up at NG.Etox@live.com and ill help you out.

b0b3rt responds:

Yes, the ending is bad.
If I want help with mastering, I'll use google.

If I want help with the actual song, I'll ask Envy.

honestly let me down

the melodies and chord progressions are just so plan stereotypical to the genre lol
and it just makes me realize how much i need to stop going to this site to find good original music
cause all stereotypical techno songs get the best ratings lol
yeah and i'm not saying this song is bad i just think it sounds too exactly wat you think of when you think of techno
but its whatev don't let me get you down cause everyone else loves it apparently
so your doing something right

b0b3rt responds:

So, um.. this song fits *well* under the genre that I put it in, and there's nothing wrong with it outside of it being stereotypical, and you give it a 2?

Yeah, go away.

Uhm

Your kickdrum fills remind me of hip-hop snare fills, which isn't good.

This is so bad, I don't even know where to start.

I see that all you used were presets and a generic chord progression, explains all the listens though because people on NG seem to love that kind of stuff (at least the majority of the site).

You have some major balance and mixing problems.

Now that I think about it, I swear I've heard this melody from somewhere else, but then again, it's hard to make a new melody with that chord progression, there are only so many different variations that can sound 'ok'.

This track also lacks continuity, it keeps breaking the flow as well as adding too many different random variations. Stick with one idea and build from there, don't bring in random stuff.

"I uploaded this a couple weeks ago (before the new year), and realized the mastering was awful and that were a couple of other problems.. so I took it down and fixed it." You may want to work on it yet some more... Plus there's a difference between a finished track in terms of length/structure rather than mastering/mixing. This is nowhere near finished in terms of mixing. It was agonizing listening to this, especially the end part.

b0b3rt responds:

Yes, Kazmo, but don't tell me this was worse then the original? That's were you heard the melody, because you reviewed that too.
