Reviews for "{425} Wasted"

Michael425 responds:

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for letting me know.

Not bad...

...but definitely not Top 5 worthy.

First off, I'll echo what Rick, MdR, and Berto said: The sound quality is poor. It sounds incredibly muddy, as if someone let the compression monster run rampant. Mastering isn't an easy part of putting music together, but it's undeniably critical.

Second, I'd understand your massive use of sawtooth if this were one of the minimal genres, such as electro, hardstyle/hardcore, or dubstep. But it's not. It's trance. Diversify the instruments. It's a sawtooth nightmare, and it also might be one root of your quality issues.

3/5. Keep working on it.

Michael425 responds:

I will have to work more on mastering in my future songs. As for instrumentation, I was not going for variety. I just wanted the easiest way for me to get these tunes across to the listener. It would have been even more difficult to master otherwise. I just don't have the skills to do that yet.

Thanks for the review.

like what barto said

It's generic, badly mastered, full of cheesy nexus presets with terrible hi hats. And btw, 26 samples, 9 synths and 5 automations is no amazing amount, it is kinda low.

nice try though

Michael425 responds:

I didn't say it was amazing. Just a fact.

Thanks for the original review.

good

i think there could have been a larger difference in the dynamics i think it would have been a lot better if u put more and less emphasis on the different areas of the music to point out a climax which is what this piece seems to have trouble showing

Michael425 responds:

I agree with you. It does start to blend together. I tried my best to make the ending sound like the climax without it going too loud.

Thanks for the review.

Sound quality low, but the song overall is ok

The song is ok, but the low audio quality (is this called mastering?) really is too bad, not everybody wil mind this I suppose, but I hoped for some better audio quality. 7.5

Michael425 responds:

It sounds better if you download it to mp3 and listen. But I can definitely work on mastering.

Thanks for the review.
