Reviews for .Aspiration. [Trance]

[Kazmo]

Seems like you don't like criticism.

Too bad.

First off, this is dance not trance, primarily due to the kick and chord progression you have.

The intro, or shall I say lack of, is quite generic. I laughed when I read "Totally original trance piece."since it doesn't sound all that original.

Not going to lie, this song is extremely repetitive, and the lead that comes in at 34 seconds is way too high pitched, and it's definitely not a pleasing sawlead either.

1:50 is pretty much the nicest part of the whole song. Good job with the piano.

You also have some over-compression issues, which I'm sure is due to the lack of effort and time put into this piece. (2 days for the framework...point proven)

Nonetheless, it sounds okay, but it's not excited or new.

"TOP 5?! WOOOAH" I'm just as shocked as you are...

Actually, Kazmo, I love criticism. Unfortunately, most people, unlike you, don't actually tell me what's wrong and should be fixed.
I'll keep working on this piece, and I'll take your suggestions into account in the future.

First of all.

I hear a lot of stock Nexus samples.. :p
They are good to use, but if you are going to sample, at least change them to what -you- want them to sound like.

The lead is far too loud over the bass. The kick gets drowned out when it comes in.. and the melodies aren't very rhythmic or melodically challenging. ><
Structure is almost absent, and the piano in the end comes in randomly as the lead that was playing the whole song disappears in less than 5 seconds.

Need to work on EQ, melodies, layering, and build-up/structure.
Sorry if I sound harsh, but I'm trying to help.. it's not bad for one of your first songs. :D

P.S. Also, this isn't trance. It's more of dance/hands up! xD

b0b3rt responds:

Thanks for the review (and criticisms) but Kazmo already mention most of what you touched on, and I realize I shouldn't end on a piano in a trance song >.<
Working on a much better mix of this song now, got FL Filter working nicely =p

IT WAS ok...

But you cut it off at the end... very disappointing.

I'm not great with climaxes, but I'm working on it

Okay.

This song is alright. Too much repetition, and the lead that comes on at about 34 seconds is obnoxiously loud.

b0b3rt responds:

It's:
A) Not repetitive
B) Mastered fine

Turn your volume down, I write songs at the same volume that I listen to them at (i.e. I don't want to go deaf in a year).

Oh, and thanks for the 0.
