awesome

you always amaze me

You Are A Genious!

I love all of your songs, dude. They're just awesome! Keep doing this great work of yours.

interesting

The vocals at the beginning were pretty creepy.

The beat is nice, but I don't think it's full enough. Maybe some more hi hats or something to fill up the space would be nice.. It could give some more adrenaline to this track even though it is pretty intense.

ahh, here you go. Nice fills and stuff. It seems like a lot of attention was payed to panning as well. Just try to beef up that bassdrum a bit more.

I love those synths you used... If I'm not mistaken, did you use a HP over that lead with a lot of resonance? It's very memorable; pretty original too.

I really like your tracks, but I think you could benefit from a bit more bass. When you distort everything, you tend to lose some important low frequencies. Try to leave the very low ones untouched, or send the instrument to two effect channels, one being distorted and the other one not. Some subbass could do well too.

Nice job man, it's great to see you submitting again. ;) Drop me a line sometime.

Nice to have a very reputable Portal artist review my stuff. I agree on the low end issue; as mentioned elsewhere, my "old" (a.k.a. good) mastering preset was lost with my system migration. Really I need to find a better system (or samples) for composing my rhythm samples. My next music investment (among many other investments) is probably going to be digital drums. I want to get a good set that really sound "tight" and acoustic. Digital music really tends to lose "voice" in the area of beat. It is a challenge to create the "accidentals" that you achieve on acoustic drums. Thanks for the review. Maybe we should col-lab sometime.
