[Nyan (Tuneit remix)]

really hope this was just a joke tob

It was kinda awful

zenodio responds:

guess you don't like breakbeats?
Total working time was an hour or something.

it's not like it's serious project or anything.

[Battle of the Great Hall]

cool

the only peaves i have is the off beat intro and the bass. i think the bass is a little too throaty and and it doesnt fit the song.

Omnivore responds:

The off beat part was meant to sound as if an actual person was playing it.. I dont have a real piano to work with... only my mouse! This is the only bass in my VST out of thousands that sound good.. Thanks for the review!

[[OL Remix] |\||_| In Your Arms]

its cool

you should tweak your percussion mixing though because I can barely hear it. My advice is to give the cymbals a good amount of high but low mid and bass. On the kick, did you run it through the maximizer and eq it to have a small peak of upper mid? i think it would improve it a lot. the percussion was also panning a little heavy to the left. It kindof annoys my ears. Great job and keep improving! check out my music and review me as well! also, as a fellow FL user I gotta show you the skin I made here http://www.furaffinity.net/view/54051 76 ignore the fact that its a furry site plz ^^

8/10
4/5

OpenLight responds:

Thanks for the review.

Yeah I probably won't check out that skin ha but thanks for the tips. I'll consider them.

[Berlin (WIP)]

its good.

follow the guys advice below my review. he knows whats up.
8 because its too repetitive and the mix is a bit harsh.

SASKID responds:

Could you elaborate on what you mean by HARSH on the mix :/

[~ Comprehension ~ [CAT]]

this is very tight indeed

only one complaint. lower the main synth lead a little. the mix is a little unbalenced because of it =D

Catstuffer responds:

Thanks for reviewing. I'm always tweaking. Hopefully I'll have a better mix next time!

[Carried Away {durn}]

oh my god this is sweet!

I'm ocd and normally have a lot of problems with some of the mix jobs on NG here, but you got it down. the mixing as really good! I like the composition too, I'm not sure what this reminds me of but it gives me chills!

durn responds:

:) Thanks barley. Glad to hear that the mix lived up to your standards. :D Tried something new in terms of compression on this one and it thickened things up nicely.

[-Winter Solstice-]

wow this is so chill

The only complaint I have about this is the eq. there's too much mid and it sounds muffled like I'm hearing it from my neighbors house :P

ChronoNomad responds:

Chill is good. I like chill. I hear what you're saying, and I continue to gain more experience with the mastering process, but this is an earlier submission. EQ is tricky business to say the least. Although, if that's the only thing you didn't like I guess it's not so bad. :)

[New Dawn- Professor Adm. Bacon]

its good but

why is all NG trance this generic stuff? I take it backthe guitar at the end was cool and with better mixing it would be even cooler. check out my stuff!

Bacon92 responds:

Thanks for the reveiw. I could tell that wrote this reveiw while listening to the piece; As shown through this piece's own case and point, it is important to listen to the entirety of the piece before passing judgement upon it.

[Soul Surfer]

It's decent

I would give the hihats a bit more of a soft eq tho and it could use a cooldown break period. the bass is generic, might want to try something a bit different. this style of electronic music is way too main stream on NG.

Omnivore responds:

I agree with you there, its just when i try to add any sort of effect to a large song or file, the cpu usage goes crazy on me...

[Fire!]

Needs Moar

Bass. you've got a way to go with FL man. you could pump out alot more low frequencies with this....

larrylarrybb responds:

This is one of my older songs. I still think it's really good but yeah some more bass would make it almost perfect.
