[Interotaku - Collide]

Great song!

The track is very active in terms of elements. However, there is a fallback that puts the song down: The frequencies. A major part of the song escapes from the headphones. When I put my headphones at a certain distance, I can hear the high frequencies very loudly.

Try to preserve the song elements more inside the headphones and don't let them escape through them. Pressure your headphones into your ears and you'll notice a decent change.
If you manage to do so, you won't hear much when you distance from the headphones, which means that the song, as a whole, is accommodated inside them.

Cheers!

[Lost in Emotion]

Starting from 0:23 to 0:43 (specially the synth exactly at 0:40) was an EPIC composition! The vocals are top notch in this specific part.
It has been a while since I heard something like this. Keep going, man!

[Malfunction]

I can't stop listening to this song. The beat sequence is addictive and sounds good to my ears, which makes it kind of particular for a Dubstep song.
I'd love to hear more of this kind of tracks. Keep it going, man!

CowardlyLion responds:

Thank you! I'll be sure to keep making tunes and hopefully you'll enjoy my future tracks to the same extent, if not more.

[CrookedDarkSlide - Alien[Demo]]

It needs a little more tuning...

There are quite some transitions that don't fit well into this song.
Let's take a deep analysis to the song and see what could be better:

* You can start the song with a simple FX, like in progressive D&B, instead of getting right to the drums at 00:05;
* You are right when you say you're missing something. There are some parts, where you remove the synth, that don't fit well without the synth. Instead, you could add 2 equal synths, one playing with low notes, and the other with high notes.
* You are missing a synth bass. It's a cherry on top.
* Do not attempt to make the song different by adding different synthesizers. Sometimes, all you need is to change the way you play the instruments (kicks, snanes, hi tops);
* Play a little with the reverb and delay functions;
* At 00:38, it feels like the kick started too early;

Overall, this song has much potential. It just needs a little more tuning.
Keep going!

CrookedDarkSlide responds:

Alleluia! somebody who answer my question.
Thanks I'll try that ^^

[W!peout - Your hour(DEMO)]

Not bad, dude!

Not to withdraw any value from your attempt on dubstep, but I could imagine it as some badass drum n' bass by increasing the tempo and adding a second melody along with that sick one you got there with the kick and drums.
Try to add a second melody and a crazy thing that I call "double bass". The name says it all... just mix 2 basses. It turns out to be some heavy stuff.
Now if you want some light stuff, opposed to heavy stuff, keep with that piano in the start of the song and lower the "craziness" of that melody, if you know what I mean with this.
Either way, what matters is the position of the instruments and both ways can turn out great if you work out your imagination.
For example, the voice acting doesn't go well with the heavy stuff, but greatly with the light stuff.
This demo opened a new door leading to 2 other doors. You can either enter one of them, or create a third new door that containts elements of the other 2 doors.
I just hope you can understand my lame metaphors :P
Keep it up, I'll be waiting for the result.

DJ-Martcore responds:

This respond is a bit late, but i gotta say something to such a awesome review (with no lame metaphores)
What i wanna say is that: while looking at this i wanna thank you very much for the awesome review xD
and i want to like to ask you : do you make music yourself? and maybe the 3 doors action is just the right one!
thank you dude i needed a review like this ^^

[Healing Touch]

Amazing...

The song has a very strong meaning attached to it. It brings me back old memories. It makes me think of a current relationship I'm having with a girl.

If I could picturize it, it would be a snowy, cold night, clean sky, filled with stars.
You would be lying on the snow next to your beloved one, watching the stars.
Sadness and sorrow aren't present.
You couldn't explain what you were feeling because those feelings would be too good just to be explained.

A truly amazing piece of music. You have my greets.

Setu-Firestorm responds:

Thank you. =)

[Intro Cadenza]

Good choice between songs

This song is calm and transmits peace. Opposite to all kinds of stress and bad-conceived actions, I would listen to it during the very morning (5-6 am) after waking up, or when walking near the sea in the beach during either morning or evening. The very quiet seashore ambience ironically makes the song even more calm and peaceful.
Great piece. Well done.

Capn-Orange responds:

Thanks very much! :D
