[{dj-n} My Mind [updated!!]]

Hmmmm

I'm honestly too lazy to write much this time but everything's perfect minus the drop.. (as people have been saying) the bass is just.. there's not enough high-end to it. It's kind of boring because the vocals aren't what hold the song up, they're kind of a little add-on on the side to create more atmosphere while the bass is usually what drives the song, and this song doesn't have a very 'powerful' wobble bass. I mean. Yeah. It's bassy, great mastering on the actual sub freqs. but there's just not enough distortion/high end on the bass. :c

dj-Nate responds:

Aw, :'( fair enough

[DP - Explore 9]

Sick.

Really really nice. I like the atmosphere, that's really about it. It reminds me of Minecraft music--lots of reverb and shit dude. It's really nice. I usually hate ambient shit, but this is really, really fucking nice. It would be way cooler if you added like, a filtered drum beat here and there though, that would make it pop. ;]

[Dark beat 3]

Definitely not dark

Well, between the FPC samples and the high-pitched piano chords, it really doesn't seem that 'dark..'
When I think dark, I think negative or deep and this is neither of those, it's kind of cheery and high-pitched--where's the darkness?

[SSJ3 - Unrelenting]

bass/key clashing

Could be much better. A bit boring after a while--also key clashing between different keys. (or just an off-key note)
Also, the kick needs more bass. It's very high-end (not meaning good quality, meaning there's not enough bass) so I would recommend using a better kick/making your own kick that's better (not saying you didn't already make your own) but very nice start.

Shiverwar responds:

To be honest, I wasn't expecting such constructive criticism from you after what I said, which I admit was a bit harsh, so I am sorry about that, and I hope you will forgive me.

It sounded good to my headphones, but not everyone has the same tastes. Nonetheless, I appreciate your review, and I apologize for any offense I may have given you with my review on your song.

[[Hardstyle] The Contract]

Kick needs more bass, less high pitch

Melodies and flow were nice, but your kick is really high pitched and not bassy. :(
Would be better if you could fix that.

[Glow Stick Mania!!!!!!!!!]

Where's the bass?

A. You didn't actually make it, and the title is very annoying. Just saying.
B. There's no bass. I really highly doubt he actually even made the melody or sidechained it, because there's no bass. Hey, I could be wrong, but it just doesn't seem like this is completely original.

To further my sidechaining/quality arguement. That snare is loud as fuck, while the sidechaining is definitely professional. Obviously if he knew enough about mastering/FX to sicechain the lead that well, why would he leave the snare so loud that it conflicts with the lead?

Mastering

You need a lot of work on your mastering, and your melodies need a lot of work too. But nonetheless the rest of the track is nice.
Also, Dance and Techno are two different things.

[dubfuck]

Fucking Sick Clayface

It's like, Dubtrance. I don't even know what to call it. Only someone like you would make something this dope, man. Bass is dope, and so is the saw. I would love to see a full song made out of this, that's the only reason why I'm voting 9/10.

[Start That Beat Up]

Really Great Feel

Admittedly the synths could be better but everything about it is really nice. The melodies are great and so is the progression. You should do a Happy Hardcore Dance remix of it man, it would be in the top 5 in no time at all.
