[Precision Kill [Dubstep]]

Nice

I thought you were lying about the bass until 0:55 , then very nice and heavy. I was surprised that it didn't sound like the typical "wobbly" bass in most dubstep. Fits very nicely though.

TakeTheBait responds:

Haha, thanks man. Not all dubstep has wobble bass, some like this one are all about the sub bass! Appreciate the review, I'm checkin out your stuff right now.

[There's Still Hope [Hardstyle]]

Not Bad Actually

It's actually on par with most of the hardcore I've heard recently. The one thing I didn't like in the song was your choice or kick. It sounds pretty , it just strikes me as non-typical for a hardcore track. But that's probably just personal opinion.

Nice work 9/10, 4/5

Weskuh responds:

Thanks man, appreciate your criticism! There was someone else who complained about the kick too, should probably look into that.

[Bring me(7Days, 7Songs 2/7)]

Well done

I'm digging this, and I really love the sliced loop playing throughout. It almost has a vocal quality to it but there's no intelligible words. You've made a better beat in one day than some people can make in a week. Good stuff

8/10, 4/5

janiev responds:

Thank you :) Appreciate the review!

[check IT (dj JPA)]

Nice

Good stuff! I'm lovin the hardcore sound lately. Nice spoken sample too, I haven't heard that one yet.

9/10, 5/5

djJPA responds:

Haha, awesome bro!
Thanks a lot for the great review!

[With Eyes Closed]

Good start

The composition is very nice. It's smooth and feels like it's just kinda floating through space. I think with a little bit of lightly played bass and a jazz-type drumkit in the background, this could be a great track. As right now, it sounds like a great start.

7/10, 4/5

[[Requiem For A Dream]*]

I'll be honest...

This is without a doubt one of my favorite compositions ever, I've loved this piece of music long before I ever saw the movie. I like what you did here; good synth selection, the percussion is good, and you didn't alter the composition itself (I've some alterations before and most of them just seem to take away the power of the piece).
But...
The crash cymbal is way too loud in the mix (from the 3 minute mark on it's almost boisterous) and sounds like it's panned a just little too hard to the right.
And the ending of the song makes it feel like it just drops off too quickly rather than a gentle fade away (perhaps a repeat of the main melody that fades and retards as the song ends would be a better fit).

I'd give a higher scare but I've heard so many renditions of this piece that I've become very picky about it.

Not bad 7/10, 3/5

Solkrieg responds:

I thought the bell idea was a good idea, guess not.

And the cymbal crash was a lot louder, but I dulled it, I guess I will some more. And what do you mean by "A little too hard to the right"?

[Mega Man 4 - Siberian Winter]

Great Soundtrack Material

This sounds perfect for a scene with little action, like one of those semi-"touching" or informative parts of a movie where you learn more about a character or the character is planning their next move. Great material, the only problem is I don't hear much low frequency sound. A low string sound like a cello would work great to bring a more "full" sound to the mix.

Nice work 8/10, 4/5

saintedix responds:

Thanks for the review trey! I actually agree with you on that point. I may go back and add a little more bass to the chords. Thanks for the suggestion.

[Mountain Trance]

uhhh...

Well this honestly isn't terrible, but it is not trance... in any way, shape or form. It has a strange jazzy downtempo feel to it that I really kinda like. I like it but it's definitely NOT trance.

Not bad 3/5, 7/10

SimSouleroid responds:

Yeah bad choice of name and genre, wasnt sure when it came time to throw it in ha. thanks for the resonse!

[Para-Noid - Cream (RoughD]

Smooth...

This is good stuff. A nice smooth bassline, some interesting chord sounds,and a nice vinyls scratch sound. The one thing I heard that I didn't like was the snare hit at 0:44 and the same hit later in the track. It sound just a bit too reverbed to me but that could just be personal tastes.

Nice work 4/5, 9/10

[Make You Mine (ft. KyHeez]

Hmm...

This is a pretty good song actually, I only hear a problem on the vocals for the verses. Say what you want about reverb, but it's a very widely used technique in the commercial music industry. A little bit of it can wonders. You could also try a slight chorus effect either with or without the reverb (see how it sounds both ways).

Nice work for the most part 8/10 4/5
