WHINEY!
Whiney and I love it! When that bass line comes crashing down on top of the whiney synth it worked so well. Damn, lot's of trancy energy here.
Keep it up, friend!
Reviews for "Flashburn - Enigma"
Hehehe
Normally I don't review this type of music, but participating in the MAC6 July makes you part of my reviewing spree. So here goes:
Apart from the generic nature of the genre, you have applied some cliches in a pretty innovative way. Which gains you my respect for autonomically manipulating the style so that it becomes your own, not just a rip-off of, I dunno, DJ Tiesto or something (forgive if I'm totally talking out of my ass).
That leaves the following gripe though: the samples and synths you're using are really, really corny, lol. It's the 90s all over again - Maxx, 2Unlimited, Aqua etc. Sugary, ear-pleasing, toybox synths... they really make it hard for me to see this as a mature dance song, save for a few moments of boldly attacking the listener's ears. :)
Another thing is that I think the bassdrum is too muffled, and the snare does not so much provide a semi-strong beat as an, admittably cozy, 'sssh' sound.
Sorry for picking this apart so, I just think you can get a looooooot better if you escape from the clutches of a dance culture that bloomed too long ago... You may as well disregard what I'm saying if you're happy with the way it is, after all, it's already very popular.
Anyway, good endeavors to you!
Flashburn responds:
well I appreciate the reviews from all of you, criticism is good.
Alright
Not the greatest dance music but dance music none the less.
Distortion, ahh!!
The melody was very nice and entertaining. But some of it was distorted because of the pads. Lot's of things was going on, which was good. But maybe you should've add a soft slowing part to make it even more interesting. And, you should really get plugins dude. That would make your stuff even more professional. Cause the beat was a bit plain and too weak. And you gotta fix up the clariety dude, it really got me annoyed. Some synths were WAY too loud. If youd turn it down a bit, that would defenetly help you. Do you even master it? Cause its loud! Not that I put my speakers up high, it's just loud. It's not that Im a hater, it's just that you need too improve your beat making, mastering, and synthesizers. Sounds like you use Fl studio. I do too. If you contact me, I could give you awesome plugins that will help you with your music. I still think your great! It's just that your really bad at the clariety and mastering of songs.
Keep up the good work anyways,
