Great Job!!!
The Beginning is just awesome! I also love the piano melody. I only give you 9/10, although I voted 5/5, because this great track could be improved if you put the beginning melody in the middle of the track, to calm it, and then you re-entry the main melody with an slowly bass that gets faster. I also would put a little down the bass that starts at 1:14.
Nevertheless, this track is very, well done. Great job again! keep it up!!!
Thanks :D '
Sounds like a great idea, guess I'll play around more with this song after all :P
Btw, what piano melody? xD
Thanks for a very constructive and great review :D
And for the "9" and the vote ofc :P
Sounds Well
although it needs some development, this track is good. It could be better by inserting a new bass & by getting the rythym a little faster
Yup, this is just the verry first export of the song.
It will become some "Dutch-Trance"
i was so fired up just by hearing the export,
i had to submit it here ;)
so i did.
Reviews like yours are useful, so thx :)
Greetz D*MESS.
Sounds well
I liked a lot the melody of the beggining & the melody that starts at 1:54. I think the bass ( from 0:45 to 1:11) needs to be changed. It sounds like a very old style bass (like a trance track from 1995) But the melodies are just great.
If you can bring more power to them, this track could be epic. You also can try to give more importance to the lyrics, by inserting them in the second melody, and avoiding the part from 0:15 to 0:30
I'm not sure if I have explained well my suggestions or if I can help you. Not matter :)
I'll resume: with some more work, this track can be wonderfull
Will take that into account, I was working on this until early hours of morning, Theres so many different styles wanna do with this remix I've kinda compiled em all into one, I'll work on it cheers.
I have to say something
Well, I have read some of your music reviews, and I'm impressed of how rude you can be. And that's even more impressing when I hear your songs and realize that they are just regular, for not saying bad & boring. Like this one, for example.
Who do you think you are for criticize other people's work like you do? And now I'm refering to you review of @ndrea - Candy Dance.
I know I'm not Tiesto or Van Buuren, but neither you. Possibly you think you are much better dj than you are actually.
I consider myself a trance fan, and I have enought capacity for deciding if I like a track or not independently if that track is in the Week top or not. I felt insulted by you when you said that all reviewers give a 10 to a song because it is in the week top. I don't do that.
I can say that this track (Abyss) is extremely boring, always with the windy sound, a piano that sounds without logic, an absurd chorus...
An ambient track doesn't have to be only noises and a 10 seconds long piano loop. It can also have more things that this song doesn't have. You said to @ndrea that Candy Dance what's so generic. Well, where's the originality of Abyss?
In normal circunstances I wouldn't say anything about this track, but I realize that you like to criticize and I though that you would also like to recieve some critics as well.
I hope you enjoyed this one.
Well.
The most important thing for one to know when listening to this is that it is FIRST, an experiment, and SECOND, a track. I don't typically put into ambience the kind of effort that goes into my full-length Trance tracks. What's more, I haven't submitted anything in more than two months, so this or anything else on Newgrounds is no good example of my skill level right now. In a few weeks I'll be submitting something new for a contest, which I've been working hard on for a long time, and then you can judge. ;)
I don't think ALL reviewers give 10s to the Weekly Best, if I sounded like that, perhaps I should have worded myself differently. The support of the audience on Newgrounds is worthless to me because nearly all users praise virtually everything. If an audience likes anything shown to them, what kind of accomplishment is it to gain their support? There are the people on this site, like there are on almost any site, who know what they're talking about, but there are hardly any of them - and what's more, I don't need to submit to Newgrounds when I can use chat to share demos and tracks and get criticism. (Though I don't intend to get into another debate about not submitting to NG, that's another thing entirely.)
Accomplished artists such as xKore, Reasoner, and Zellers have praised this track, and because they make good music and generally know what good music is, I take their opinions seriously. Same deal for my reviews, and my music - not only have I been at it for nearly two years, but both are taken seriously and appreciated by people who have proven themselves time and again skilled and creative. So naturally, when someone who I've never heard of gives my track a 2 in their review (which mostly details what they think is wrong with my reviews, or attacks my track without any reasoning whatsoever), why take them seriously?
From this, and because you seem to have used the same track twice as an example, and have added the artist to your favorites list, I get the impression you're just an angry fan trying to get me back. For that, I've reported the review as abusive (as there's no real criticism in there to begin with). If it's not the case, comment on my news post, and the debate can continue from there - but as it stands, this is laughable.
It's a Radio Edit
And sounds brilliant. I like this track,even more than the other of your songs that I reviewed before (Entrance Me) that made me listen to the rest of your work :)
This track is very good, but I think that can be improved with a Mix, with a new powerfull bass (just a little more powerfull) & with some fx. All of that without loosing the trance touch, & without changing the main melody. Maybe just adding more strings to it.
What do you think?
Sounds well
The main melody, that starts at 0:57 is very good. You'll probably need to change some notes at the end of the melody before the loop starts again (I mean the loop of the rythym, not the song) so the melody have like 2 parts, with notes up in the first & down in the second. You can also try to do some little cuts to the melody, like imitating the 2-4 grooves style
The other melody that goes from 0:0 until 0:28 you should remove it & put only bass
Anyway the preview sounds good. If you make a long track with those improves I have mentioned, it can be a very good track
thanks, i will do my best :)
Another Week at the top!!
Congratulations 4 your second week having a song at the top 5!
Good track with a catchy melody. Although I liked more 'Candy Dance', this track sounds well
Good job & keep it up!!
(Hey guys, check out my latest song, Airprogressive - That Sequence 'Live Mix')
Thanks I'll keep it up! ;D
I Like the music
Yeah, the music & the main style is good, the only problem is in the vocals. Late now for the MAC8 contest, but probably the solution could be using Sound Forge to depurate the lyrics sound. I supose you recorded lyrics separatly from the music, right? You anly have to edit the lyrics, changing the acoustic mirror, the modulations, the EQ and more settings until the voice sounds good.
Anyway, the song is good
Hey, thanks for the tips. But I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "depurate." Do you think you could clarify this in a PM? I know it's too late for the Mac but I really want to improve this song anyway.
Happy tune
Happy trance or german progressive track! I liked the pause just before the main melody, and the sirens effect. Well done!!
(Check out my latest track, 'That Sequence Live Mix')
Thanks, will do ^_^
Snake Eater
Yeah! Definitly this loop has a 'Metal Gear' touch. Sounds like Snake trying to get into Grozny Grad or something like that. You should try to make a complete song using this sound
I always pictured it in Sons Of Liberty when he's on the tanker lol. I think i might try and add an actual melody sometime in the future, but as of now, it sticks better as a loop. Thanks for the feedback.
