Pretty sick, my two complaints: 1) some parts like the hats, and maybe the vocaloid stuff in the intro were a litle loud 2) I felt like there wasn't a super strong motif, the song wasn't as catchy as I thought because I couldn't really pick out what was supposed to be the main melody: the formant/vocally synth, or the melody in the melodic sections after the drops. I've had this issue before too, so maybe I'm just being picky, but overall good song!

DJ-Zyzyx responds:
Thanks etz :D Yeah i would agree with you, since this was on older song I didn't feel like touching up the melody lol
This is really good Zyzyx, but I agree with Etzer the hi hats are a bit too loud, the vocal lead does sound just fine in my opinion. Overall i love this song.
DJ-Zyzyx responds:
Thanks bro :DD
The vocals are kinda weird but the dubstep parts are great. I actually don't mind the hats volume, i'd say the problem is the type of hat. Those short, less washy ones would work better in my opinion. Also, the hats go on throughout a lot of the song. Sometimes, just a kick and snare work magic on their own, just look at MDK's songs. But apart from that and some of the vocal leads the song is really good, especially both risers towards the end. The other leads that occur at the end of every 2 bars, I think, work well, as they do in most dubstep songs. Overall, the growlers are nice, but a bit too repetetive. The song in general isn't repetetive, just the drums and growlers. That bit around 4:00 perfectly balances the rest of the song. Nice effort! (It's been a while since I did a review this long xD)
DJ-Zyzyx responds:
Thanks swaggyypig! I don't usually get reviews this long xD Yeah I know it's super repetitive and gets boring, i probably should have just cut out the second 8 bars of each dubstep part to make it seem less. It's not too much of a big deal, but it would have made the song like a minute shorter O.o anyways thanks man :D
1:17 dolphin.
Most of this song is awesome, but I think some of the sounds don't quite match with the key of the song.
You say you used Serum? Time for me to start saving up!
This is pretty decent in my opinion. The beat is awesome, you mixed it well. Well done. Good luck with getting popular around this community.
