sup dude!

hey i just joined rithum and thats how i found this, but ive been here longer

i like the first sorta synth that comes in thats not a bass, you know

dude those hi-hat arpegiations are awesome, pretty cool technique you did to get them to sound arp like that, cuz i know thats not the normal way for arping

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

If any of that makes sense, congratz

i freaking hate that riff at 1:10, its just bad dude, sorry, my advice would be add some reeverb on somthing to make it have a more open feel, plus you should have a synth in there to do actual notes instead of just precussives

anyways, this song lacks some of the stuff i love in music like this, you need the epic-ass saw leads, your kick should trail on into the next kick, thats more of a personal taste thing though, i just like it when the kicks all trail together

PLUS it needs a better ending

it all could use alot of work, but this might not really be your style, so idk

hey dude hit me up on rithum, cuz i have no freakin clue how that site works

peace out dude

Breed responds:

First off your review is awesome. it's nice to actually get criticism. I hear a lot of either "this is awesome" or "this sucks" haha.

The riff you don't like is a percussion solo. I am obsessed with percussion and this is mostly just for me but its nice to know other people opinions of it. I think it's kinda clever although I would have prefered some better african drums then that standard fl studio clicky crap

I was considereing adding reverb or maybe even another layer to that main melody but i decided to keep a minimalistic feel which makes it easier to put out a really delicious mix. Notice any clipping or out of place volumes or badly done effects? I am a tech whore basically haha.

I used a shorter punchier kick to try to appeal to jumpstyle dancing more although I also like what your talking about the meshing of the kicks. I give a little taste of that with the transition using 3 16th note kicks put together and the reverse kick that leads into every other measure.

The epic saw in the beginning was originally in the main melody too but it was really hard for me to EQ properly so I dropped it cuz it sounded amateur as hell.

My ending sucks!!!!! I am an intro guy and I have always sucked at outros. Maybe something I should work on.

Anyways thanx for the awesome review I am gonna go return the favor and of course help on rithum.

Cheers!

[Piano_Force 2 [Box-Killa]]

i like it

did you change your piano sample? it sounds diffeerent to me

agh, some parts of it seem a bit too quite

1:03, those notes in that order are generic, very generic

OMG that fast parts after that is amazing

godthis track goes all over that place

realyl good stuff dude, i actually dont think i would be able to alot of this becauase it seems like its nto possible with only two hands

Box-Killa responds:

hehe Yeah that generic part, it was the only way i could get the first part to flow with the second. Meh :D Yay you cant play it... mission accomplished. lolz yeah it goes everywhere, except major, well maybe near the end there is some slight major, man im tiered and my grammar is fucked... seeyyaaaaaaa

[She_Remix [Box-Killa]]

again w/ the drums

the drums never get to their like full potential dude

the drums at :30 are good, but i think they would fit better as like a fill or a build up, not as a main riff for drums, they just dont sound right as the main drumset

i like the ending w/ the crackling

meh, its ok, just some execution problems with the drums to me

Box-Killa responds:

hmm yeahhh lol. the drumss.... Maybe they should like explode and then be really loud and full, yeah i know what you mean :D

thanks for the review :D

[Mute City [Box-Killa]]

i like it

its pretty good

he drums need to come in sometime soon, cuz its sorta lacking in drums for a dnb track

that bass could be better, it soulds to cheezy

i liked tha flange

i love the drums after the flange dude, good stuff

this is my sorta music, ambient drum and bass, tasty

ahh wtf it just ends....

its ok, it never really gets a sold feel with the drums and its ending is aweful

Box-Killa responds:

Coolies :D Yeah I knew you would like ambient dnb sorta thing. I love it too :D

Yeah those clearer drums are rad :D

yeah lol, END BITCH

LOOL

thanks for the review :D

[Who_Is_The_The_Best?]

lol

pretty good house drums you had goin, flows great

not a fan of the bass though, its too freakin adicy

i dont really know what to say as far as improvement, its not very good imo, im also a huge hater of house music

there should be more lyrics xD

Box-Killa responds:

Lol your review got marked useless. Meh I put little to no effort into this. I was just low on ego lol... Kidding, i dont really know :D Peaceout!

[Asian_Loop [Box-Killa]]

lol

you mean a japanese key signature? tune isnt the right word

lol nice, did you get the DSK stuff?

dude i really like this, very chill, nice delay on your stuff

OMFG I WANT SOME BEASTY GLITCH DRUMS!!! this song is just askin for it and you know it

dude, finish this song and youd get a 10, plus......mabye add a pad in the back to make it more full....mabye

Box-Killa responds:

Yes i know, I used the japanese yen seng scale, or whatever you call it. I wasnt sure many people would understand that though, so i just said, "japanese tune' lol :D Oh glad you like it so much :D Hmm maybe a pad would go nice in the build up/climax areas. Lol glitch drums, I can try lol.

[My Mechanical Nightmares WIP]

oh wow dude

you got quite a few reviews on this stuff, congrats

im not really a fan of this style of music, all dark and stuff, but its still a good piece

i like the voices, the def. add to a chaotic atmosphere

i do agree with the other guy about its lacking in musical depth, although he didnt exactly explain very well, i think he, and I, mean depth as far as like, diversity goes, this is pretty much alot of the same stuff over and over, which can be good for the crowd you go for, but it can be bad for other crowds, you know what i mean?

ill check out your other tracks

peace out, pretty good track, despite my genre bias

aloneagainfriend responds:

Hey, Thanks for the the info... I see what you are saying now. :P

[Dark_Beat_Mayhem [Box-Killa]]

dude

those drums are really good, the only thing i can say about them is to use mabye one or two more different closed hat samples in order to create a more diverse feel

anyways, i really love the speed the drums give

i fucking love the ambient aspects, were you inspired by some of my works?

i like the opening riff, but the fllowing riff sounds a bit random, when it starts changing up, its just a bit wierd

the "bells" were great too dude

just a bit more diversity with the open hats and the leads mabye and it would have been a great track, i really like this genre though, as you well know

peace out dude

SessileNomad

Box-Killa responds:

:D I was actually inspired by zeta+, before I thought it was just a bunch of stupid useless synths, but it is really good for experimental, ambient sorta stuff, thats where I got the high pitch synth and that pad. The bass was all nexus. :D I made that clip 4 ya, hope you like the song choice. Yeah i should have added some more variation to the drums. I cbf though lol:D I see you :D

ahh now i actually understand what you mean, and I did it sort of in my newer track, but if i ever go back and change this, i know what to do. :D

[Welcome to Rainbow RmX]

NOO

lead needs to be quieter, dude this whole track needs to calm down a bit, everything is too loud

from expeirence i have learned that fading up with kicks never turns out good, way to much clipping

its pretty much just the chorus though, try and add your own stuff to it

nothing really to say about it, since you didnt really throw anything of your own in there

where did you get the vocals?

Frajola responds:

I have them .wav files.

I can send you...

[Welcome to W0RLD]

its good

the best part is that it totally fits the goal you wer going for, i can see this in a game as the tutorial section, really cool stuff

it does repeat a few times and it get pretty repetitive, but i suppose that kind of needed for what you were going for, although i will say i like the little breakdown in the middle of the track, it slightly cushions the repetitiveness

some of notes though, they sound like they start lound, then the drop and and get quiet, it only does it w/ the "lead" synth

i like it quite a bit

peace out

PuffballsUnited responds:

Hmm... I think I noticed the volume problem too. I'll look into it.
