Nice!

I loved this song, man, it has an awesome beat and a great atmosphere, I really liked the whole song, the beats are awesome, the drums are very good, and the synts are simply awesome, you putted it in the perfect part, adding life and speed to the song... I simply loved it...

The song was pretty nice, too bad it was way too short, I know it's a preview, and you have potential to make a better one, I know this song is good, but I wanna listen to an even better song... Keep it up, guy, you have a great potential...

Nice

-I really liked the fast paced first twelve seconds that jumped at you and faded out with a "Pop". This really allowed for the piano to build with an ebb and flow. Meshing brilliantly with the soft, gentle melody.

-You gave this a nice build which seems pre-planned. Everything worked well except for the nasty sounding snare you put in at the end. It does nothing for the melody or the build-up. It's so conflicting with everything else that you did which makes me question why you decided to put it in.

-I would like to see more bass and less treble with additional harmonies to continue making things flow nicely. I really liked what you had at about the minute mark. Bring elements similar to this is what i'm trying to convey.

Thanks for the review. I've changed much of the build up to the climax of the song. It sounds a little different from what it does now in this preview. But it's still a WIP, and the feedback is great. Thanks!

very cool intro

I'm not going to list all the elements I like here because you know what you've done. I'm only giving it 7 because it's not finished and I need somewhere to go if you were to submit it for review when you are done!

I don't like the glitchy snare sound at 1:36, that's a bit random and then it keeps repeating sporadically and gets annoying because it ruins the flow. I reckon you should go for a latin feel instead of the snare. Add in some big deep drums maybe like the ones in the back row here;

That's my only criticism really, I can't fault it other than that. I love your reverse sounds at the start, it builds really nicely and then sorta fades into nothing...

You know what you need for the next bit... A nice groove with hats on the off beat, a big dirty bassline, a nice expressive lead sound with plenty of gliss. and vibrato, a few harmonies.... Some strings maybe? Or you could throw a curve ball and turn it into a spooky sounding glitch track. It's coming along though I'd like to hear the full version.

Thanks for the review, as for the snare. If you listen to Hard Dance and Hard Trance will you encounter that type of snare roll alot. Haha. Only sticking to the roots of the genre.
