[Jarvid! Pooper Poof Game]

Its short :[

I dont use FL much, but are these a bunch of presets? I hope not. I must not be discouraging tho, so keep working at music and one day you may rock at it?!

Keep it wildstyle!
JAG

Jarvid responds:

No they are not presets.

[Weekend Has Come]

DjEagle says, "Bounce my bishes!"

I deducted on the Originality b/c you mentioned it was a remix?!

Solid dance track though! I think the mixing could be improved a little bit; as I don't think that is entirely the fault of compression. Some of the drum work is cool with the rolls and crashes. Nice fun bright track tho!! :] Prolly get my girl and many others bouncing :D Ah me, classic crash ending-grats!

Keep it wildstyle!!
JAG

DjEagle responds:

Thanks alot man :)

[Battlegrind]

Not to shabby///

I wonder why you dont get more traffic. Its a shame. The synths peaked the mix, if you improved the layer this would be a pretty good track. Cool breakdowns into the drum parts. And screaming lead towards the end I might add!

5/5 in hopes to get you more attention!

Keep it wildstyle!

mechanoid-9 responds:

Thanks a lot, finally someone who votes too. I also wonder why my newer stuff don't get any reviews or score... Even though they get some dls. If I dl a song from anyone I automatically give it a 5. I dunno why others can't do that, it's just a click. People are getting lazy I guess.

[Solus- Crystalline Shards]

Entrancing

I cant believe how well this sounds offa NG in MP3 format. It is screaming through my speakers, and hypnotizing me into a dreamstate. This is a really emotional peice. Great synth work. I wish I could put this kind of emotion behind music, layered and all so it sounds real nice and is on tempo.

I have minimal things to critique-er complain. My only request is you expirement with adding percussion. I think this would make a great epic trance/dance like song.

I hope you always find time to make music like this, throughout all your life no matter what you get into.

FIVE//D/L///

Keep it wildstyle!

>>>De-entrancing myself now.....*finds stop button-but feels an urge to resist pressing stop*

SolusLunes responds:

GAH! FINE! YOU WILL HAVE FUCKING DRUMS!

:D

[DJ Comet-Crackhead]

Sorry bout this one.

This song was too repetitive. You need different kinds of amen breaks, and you need to mutate into different sounds between hard breaks and such. I am sure you have received inspiration from someone out there in the music world. Focus on what they are doing, how they constantly keep the ears listening instead of running to hide, and then get a HUGE sample library so you can continue these hardcore drum parts with a pleasing variety of sounds-aka your snare doesnt always have to be a snare element-it could be fuzz for all we care in parts... ...anyway, keep trying and improving on this speedcore stuff until you think it emulates your favorite artists then submit again!

Best of luck!
JAG

PS. I am no expert on this stuff, I am just trying to give my best advice!

TheComet responds:

speedcore is MILES away from the norm for me :P probably be the last one I'll do for awhile, too much of a headache to make

[Quarl - Antagonist]

interesting

This peice had a lot going on in it. It wasn't that bad,but it needs some mixing improvements. I think you could have given the drums a lot more justice by bring up their respective levels, and the loop ambient synths got annoying after awhile, work on your breaks. My favorite part is prolly the dark intro-maybe consider making a few dark ambient tracks tied in with little bits of that tedious drum programming you did.

Keep it wildstyle!
JAG

Quarl responds:

Thanks for the review, I'll be sure to review you back!

[Dive]

Jealous...?

Yeah, I might be a little jealous...or a little drunk. This does sound very frickin' pro! I am so impressed and in such joi from listening to your music! Thanks for this track! 5/5 and D/L. You rock bro. If you were ever to have a live show with a girl singing this I would love to be lost in the crystaline waters of a sea of ppl just vibing to this track!

~JAG

This track defines why I love music.

synteza responds:

Giving a live show... ah, hopefully one day I will be there.

Tanks!

[The Flash Sign]

LOL NIIICE!

Oh! How many hours have I spent exploding those damn things....Nice melodies tooo! Good submission! Your time was not wasted. D/L 5/5 :}

Keep it wildstlye!
JAG

synteza responds:

BANG

[Odyssey]

Very close...

I have been playing the hell out of Benny Benassi's album Hypnotica lately. And although you haven't unlocked his secret bass sound that he puts in nearly every track, all square and sine wavey roundish, you still have a good deep bass. When the bells come in--meh not so much. But the clap/snare that follows is very similar and hot. After that point the song follows the Benassi style well. Cheers! Unfortunately it just doesnt have that sound (but it is so damn close). The "sound" that I refer to is that fact that every time I listen to a Benassi track I wanna sex my girl up. The music is just sexy.

Don't forget that he loves to place that odd filter on his synths while using a reverb in the intro of many of his songs lol!

All said and done-I still like this track very much. Great job on the kick choice. You did way better than I could have ;p

Keep it wildstyle!
JAG

synteza responds:

it's originally a spoof anyway, so it doesn't have the right to be perfect :P benassi's bass is a matter of putting a really low sine bass under the saw, and, of course, massive reverb on the high end and tons of compression.

[Project X-1067]

Great 1st submission!

Great first submission!
I can't tell which Project X I like better!?!

The melodies are fun in this track-and basic presets FL smesh-L--who cares if it sounds dope right!!! Good rollercoaster ride of build ups and break downs! You have good ideas and a mind for music.

Keep pumpin' the bass!!
