[Milk{Live On}]

Nice cadences.

Haven't felt this emotional in a while. I like the use of piano, and in all seriousness this track is quite good.

However, your saw leads and stuff all mix together and it just sounds like a mess near the end.

Mrmilkcarton responds:

Hmmm I guess I didn't tweak the sound enough. I was trying to keep the end loud like a burst of emotion. I wanted to keep them from being too messy by keeping the 2 added synthes on a different sides from one another. I didn't think it sounded too messy but it also might be the fact that I wear 11 dollar head phones bought at the local grocery store.

Thanks for the review.

[euphoria.]

oh my god

so I thought, hey what the fuck, I'll poke my head down to the house section, it'll be a bunch of wannabes making bad happy hardcore, but nooooooo, I get THIS!

YOUR MUSIC IS PERFECT.

Please IM me or something, or send me a PM... I want to learn from you.

Of course it could turn out that you use premade loops... but I seriously doubt that, this sounds professional :)

And all the idiots who said it was slow don't know acid house. Cheers, hope to hear from you.

snayk responds:

Thanks!

[Electronic Symphony Remixed]

...

Ok, first of all, this is happy hardcore, not trance.

I liked the downwards pitch bends.

It feels like a "wall of sound" - trance is all about space, reverb, and chilling, not OH MY GOD ENERGY ENERGY ENERGY. So turn the tempo down a few clicks, and if doing that makes the track boring/not move, then work on your beat. Turn the track down too...

Pretty much the same thing as the other electronic symphony thing you have up here. Make it longer, develop your ideas, check out my latest if you have time, etc...
I have good faith in you guys so I'll 5 this.

[Electronic Symphony 2*M Demo]

TURN IT DOWN

It doesn't need to be so loud that clips.

- Make a longer track
- More original bass line
- More original beat
- Slow it down 5-10 bpm
- Develop your ideas
- Turn it down

Other than that you've got really good producing techniques.
If you have time, please comment on my latest track, but I'm not whoring.

[Legato]

the piano blows

find a different sound than FL piano and don't lowpass it.

Good things:
- tempo
- originality
- progressiveness
- loving the delay effect on the piano, and the piano part
- again, work on the piano sound itself however...
- melody, but revise it a little bit so it fits in with your chords a little better

Bad things
- eq on the hat, just use a different sample, it's too trebly (try a 909 sample?)
- lots of clipping, just turn the master volume down, it doesn't have to blow the woofer
- your beat is boring. percussion, more interesting bassline? something!
- try to make more space, instead of a wall of sound when you're not giving the piano a solo

Anyways, I can see you're one of the few on NG who actually know something about harmony, I think? if you're so inclined, please peruse my latest track. If you want.

5/5

[Complete (Remastered)]

Mmm, but R&B?

I liked it except for the beat and the strings which should have been smoother. Your beat is like, 3-3-2, like "k - - k - - k -" but R&B generally stresses beats 2 and 4. So maybe try "k - - k C - - -" where k is kick and c is clap.

Also, doesn't R&B uuuuusually have vox? Just throwing that out there. Maybe it's more of a different genre, but this was a nice listen anyways either way.

TheMerelyHuman responds:

Yeah, you're right. I was thinking R&B because I was gonna sing on it with an R&B style. But for now I guess is misc.

[Happily Ever After -r]

Mmm... 1:50

You've got some good ideas. Then again I tell everyone that.
- Your kick is a little on the punchy side, needs more sub
- 1:50 is a bit random (what are you doing there?)
- Your arrangement is effective but your development needs work. I don't want to hear the same melody line repeated 20 times. It is quite hummable, but don't be afraid to develop it! Work with the rhythm or something. You did this a little bit at 3:40, but it's still the same melody, you need to bring in something more complex.
- Your chord progression isn't special at all, but it works
- How to start and end trance: NOT WITH SYNTHS. Start with a beat, bring your tonals in, end with a beat. Any respectable trance producer does this for his club releases because it is impossible to beatmatch with just your synths in there, try it ;) This may be an "easy listening" release but you aren't going to get any mainstream acceptance until you gain club acceptance first, so... yeah, work towards that. I hate to refer to my own work when reviewing as it is subpar but please listen to my latest work in progress - lay down your beat first. It's a little simplistic but you will get the idea, hopefully.
- Turn the lead down
- Maybe a more "advanced" pad, but just a personal feeling

Rawrthaas responds:

"How to start and end trance: NOT WITH SYNTHS" I was trying something different with this. My latest trance songs other than this "start out with a beat" so obviously I know where you're coming from and have done it countless times in songs.
Thanks for the constructive review :)

[Welcome To Danse House]

Reupload?

I believe you could upload this again, now that they changed the size limit... I want to hear it.

[==(Climbing a Snow Mounta]

I like it

except for the annoying square that comes in with the drums at 0:43.

IMHO you should have used more obscure sounds for drums, brought out the piano, and used some syncopated synths - the pads are good and all but rhythmic ambient is sometimes made greater with the same stuff that makes dance music great.

I LOVE YOU
