Despite my crappy mic, I think you're voices are spot-on. Good job on the voices :)

thank you ^-^
Rather nice. Good for both chilling and kicking ass.
It was unexpected, and I must say it's one of your best so far, Mr. Brooks.
Thank you very much, I appreciate it, sir.
This is a good example of a Thugstep. Rather interesting piece; wasn't expecting it.
Thanks!
I loved your use of synths (even for basic synths), but your percussion instruments were default. I recommend finding some new percussion and expanding your repertoire from the basic stuff. If you want more VST's, I recommend checking vstplanet; I've gotten lots of free ones from there.
You are definitely on the right track, and we all have room to grow :) Keep at it!
cool, thank you. yeah I've just had a look at that site. looks pretty awesome, cheers.
I honestly can say that I don't think that Drum n Bass is the proper genre to label this as; it's more of a goa style (to get technical), and is more suited to techno if you ask me.
I also liked the riffs you had going with FL Slayer.
Overall, I could picture this for an action scene, but I wouldn't really count it as drum n bass.
I'm honestly not surprised you don't want to make this an official track, as it isn't the best composition overall.
It is a good start, however. We all have room to grow :)
i am a techno artist not a DnB artist it's not easy
True to it's genre, definitely, as it is good for letting go of your worries and such. Now, I cannot say that I really enjoyed this piece; probably because of the repetition. I won't deny that the composition is good; I'm just saying that I don't enjoy it personally.
Its ok lol hehe :)
The overall composition and tone are nice, but the song itself just sounds MUCH too mashed together; it just feels like some mastering work is needed here (outside of the drop, which blends together nicely).
Your formant bass synth is also pretty nice, but I can honestly say I wish there was a little more emphasis.
I like how the key changes sometimes as well, it adds some depth that most dubstep lacks these days. But the fact that stuff outside the drops is just kind of mashed really detracts.
Keep at it, though.
I do agree with you really! Mastering is not my strong skill when it comes to music, I know i need much more work to it all. Thank you for your comment!
I'm not sure as to why this song is receiving such positive feedback.
While I am all for some reverb on the percussion, it just does not blend well at all with the rest of this song. SERIOUS mastering work is needed. The song as a whole just does not blend well. The beat never once changes throughout the song. And there is really no build, and the drop seems mostly sudden, and amateurish at best.
It is also unclear as to why you used xKore's name on this, aside from using the tag for popularity. Quite frankly, this song has a lot left to be desired, and it is simply not a quality piece. You may not like it, but that is the honest truth. The beat and drop were the only things you actually made in this piece, and they were very underwhelming, nor did the beat blend well into the song. The clap needs some more 'meat' to it (as in some middle and low frequencies, giving a 'punchier' or more percussive effect). The reverb is far great on your clap as well, which just muddles a lot of the rest of the piece (what very little there is).
I recommend removing that tag of xKore's name, as this song does no justice to it, nor the song you are remixing.
I am trying to be as brutally honest as possible here; you simply have a ways to go in terms of quality compositions.
Best of luck in the future. Keep practicing.
please type a shorter review thanks for the feedback :)
Some more glitchstep from someone who is pretty damn good at it.
The only problem I have with this one, is that the main synth you have going needs to have more middle frequencies; the way that you have it almost as a high-pass synth really breaks the overall feel of the song. The song itself has a spacey feel, and the harshness of that synth, while it doesn't physically hurt, hurts the feel of the overall flow.
I like the effects you have on it, but it needs more 'meat' to it.
Overall, I like it. Not your best, though.
You are definitely trying.
Thank GOD I finally got some constructive criticism. I see what you're saying now that it's been brought up. Thanks for the kind words, and I'm glad you liked it at least!
Nice to see I'm not the only one aiming for a melody in a noise-based world.
The only two complaints I have are that the snare is not quite as balanced with the rest of the song, and usually seems slightly underwhelming. And that your basses, for the most part are a bit loud, especially with the... abrasiveness (sorry, couldn't think of another word) of them. They cut into my ears, overpowering the rest of the music, really.
But, that is your style, and I know you aren't gonna change because one person complained on one song, same as I wouldn't if you nit-picked mine.
Overall, i really enjoy the melody, and, like I said, it's nice to hear someone else doing melody. (I haven't really heard anyone using the same orchestral influences as me, but at least there is melody.)
I applaud you, TI.
thanks man i enjoy the harsh review though. only way you can get better at what you do. i'm really getting down into making better mix downs since my overall structure seems to be in a nice place so these are all useful comments.
