I like the vibe of this one. It's very funky, and the lead sounds really nice. Good luck for the Deathmatch!

Thanks man! Same to you! :-)

Another awesome track from the one and only Cheshyre. Love your style man, it's really unique. Keep up the good work!

cheshyre responds:

Thank you so much!! I'm glad you enjoy it! I'll keep trying!

This is such a relaxing song! I love the chill vibe it gives out...
Can't wait for the album to be released!

Kingbastard responds:

Thanks man;) Hope you enjoy the album too.

Nice!

Apart from the things I was talking about on Skype, this track is bangin'.
Keep up the good work!

Thanks dude XD

Sweet

I'm not a huge metal fan, but this is pretty awesome. I especially liked the bridge at around 1:50, and then when the strings come in and layer on some more awesome.
Great job!

Back-From-Purgatory responds:

Glad you enjoyed it regardless of not being a metal fan.

Thanks for the review!

I love this, and I don't know why.

It just has this feel of "Fuck yeah, I'm making music, deal with it". I don't even know how to describe it. It sounds like you had a lot of fun while making this, and that gets conveyed really well, cause I have a lot of fun listening to it! Great job!

Kingbastard responds:

Thanks, that's exactly the vibe I was hoping to convey:) Cheers for the review, much appreciated.

Alrighty

There's a little too much compression on everything, so much so that nothing really stands out and instruments are being lost and drowned out. I think I can hear some deafault Maximus on the master, which is makng everything sound unnecessarily loud. The lyrics are pretty good, but they get a bit repetative after a while. Also, the drums on this kind of song need to be more defined. At the moment, the compression is making them sound dull. You need to remove the compression on the master and go through all the instruments to see which ones need compression and which don't. I could give some more tips but I'd probably just bang on for hours.

Overall: It's a catchy song with good structure, but it's hampered by overcompression and lack of EQ.

Assios responds:

Ah yea, I made this a year ago, and I didn't put Maximus on until today, right before I uploaded it, I should probably just keep it without the Maximus.. I guess I'll reupload it. Thanks for a nice and detailed review! :)

Room for improvement...

When the strings first come in for example, they halve the volume of the piano and shove it to the back of the song, whereas it would sond much better if it were to stand out from the rest. Also with the strings at the start, The dischord sounds really unpleasant and it just makes the strings sound muddy and blurry. This kind of dischord continues in various places throughout the song, and I reckon it would sound much better without it.

ShavenYeti responds:

Thank you for a somewhat helpful review. I'll attempt to try some of the things I said, although I may not understand some of your terminology. I am thinking of taking the piano out of one part so I do not have 'fighting leads' as another put it.

Dayum.

00:00 - This one sounds very promising the way it is now, I don't think it would require much more polishing to make it a solid track.

00:20 - Very interesting style going on here, I like the square synth lead going on.

00:42-01:18 Trip/Hip hop isn't really my style, so I doubt if I could give any constructive advice about them.

01:45 - Very funky, but I don't really see it going anywhere unfortunately.

03:04 - Bossa nova feel, I'm really liking this one.

04:48 - Psychedelic rock type stuff, you should definitely finish this one :P

05:37 - This one has got a lot of promise, but maybe make the snare rolls slightly longer.

There's a couple of gems in this mix, but also a few mediocre ones. That's not to say that they won't appeal to someone else, it's just not my kind of thing.

Buoy responds:

I appreciate the pointers! Drop me a link if you want a review back because I'm only reviewing your "I am bored" song if you really want me to haha

Good for a first.

The string-sound part in the background of the intro would have sounded better as a kind of scratchy super-saw type instrument in my opinion, more like rave synth you have going in the main part of the song. There is a recurring moment in the repeating chunk of the song when the main synths cut out and your left with almost nothing except the drums and the trancey plucks. You should put something else there, maybe some sort of breakdown of the drums or glitchy sound effects, cause as it is right now those parts sound a bit empty. Otherwise, this is a good track to show off as a first attempt into the genre.

mNl responds:

First of all, thanks alot for your advices !
Think your right, some supersaw would be better,true. I'll give it a try!
Well,the "rave thing" is because,i wanted to do something different, as dubstep normaly sounds,you know - some unique shit ;)
Thanks for your advices,it helps me alot to do a better track next time,thanks !
