Nice!
So what I have to say to this: Mix everything!! :D It all sounds the same volume..
So pull up the bass, and the kick, make the melody soft enough its heard but doesn't completely dominate the entire song, and mix it from there.. (also turn down the hi-hat)
I think you're capable of doing that :D haha
So just do it :)
Other than that, really awesome song dude!
Keep up the wicked tunes!! :D
Check out some of my stuff please!

Nice
Wow - really soothing, just a great song.. :)
Only thing I'm going to not give you a 10/10 is for your samples :)
Haha I can tell very clearly that you're using the Fl samples that came with fl 9, and your drums do the same thing everytime they stop then come back in..
Other than that, really great song! Sounds good! :D
Keep up the awesome songs! :D
Check out some of my stuff please!

lol all im using is slayer 2. FL keys, drumaxx, harmless and nexus. (actually im not sure if nexus uses samples) but i havent used any fl samples. the guitar was made on the wave thing in fl to start off with. but i changed it with slayer 2 to get the all synth value.
thanks though for your nice words. ill try to change the drums and turn some knobs on the instruments to make them sound less like samples.
Ok :D
Sounding good for the most part :)
Something I'd like to point out - you said you only used 40 patterns in an over 8 minute song - that just right there tells me its going to repeat over and over again. Ok - try and make more patterns, different variations, etc.
Now to actually judge the song:
-You seem to be using very "cheesy" sounds - I see that you use nexus 2 - but it really doesn't sound like it. I also use Nexus, just the old version and I'm sure you could've found better plugins than the ones you did.
-Your clap - turn it down and get a better one. In fact basically all your drums need revamped, you could help fix that by mixing them with each other i.e. turning down the hi-hat cause its really loud and obvious..
-You do have little catchy melodies, but they seem to repeat over and over - change around a bit, maybe put a gate on it one time, phaser another, i don't.. just experiment with it a lot..
-Also - use more filters in your song, make things fade out, fade in, etc.. Make it interesting
-And next time - don't make such a long song - cause I know how it's like to make a really long song.. you basically just copy and paste the melody and where it gets to the "good" part again and again..
For the most part though, this song isn't completely terrible, I'll give you that.
But it has a lot of room for improvement.
Hope all this helps your music making in general and for this specific song!
4/5
8/10
Check out some of my stuff please! I'd really appreciate it :D

I know it's repetitive. You haven't listened to the WIP have you? This has a ton more variety than that.
I like the synth I used, supersaw's a supersaw.
I wasn't trying to to make a long song, by the time i was done it just turned out that way, and the 40 patterns thing....this isn't meant to be a complex song at all.
The drums weren't important, I was focusing on the melodies and feel. I'll turn down the hat a bit.
Thanks for the 8 and the 4 though. I'll be sure to check out your stuff :)
Nice!
Definitely happy hardcore - has an upbeat feel to it and a very loud kick :D lol
I don't really have much to say on this, other than maybe change it up some, variation is key :)
Also - make it longer :)
Other than that, really great song!
Keep up the great work!!
Check out some of my stuff please!
ShootingStar
thanks so much :D please share and ofcause i would try to change the sounds / loudness :D
Nice!
I can't really hear a glitch in the kick - I wouldn't worry about that too much :)
But really, this is a very calm piece, very flowing.
Some things I don't like:
The hi-hat around 0:50 is kinda loud - turn it down some :)
-Seems to lack energy to push it forward, like maybe add a big buildup or something..
Also, I don't really like how it changes style in the middle..
Other than that, maybe a little repetitive, but overall really great work :)
Keep up the great work!!
(and try to change up around your samples - it's very obvious you use nexus :)
Check out some of my work please!
ShootingStar
Alright. :)
I'll try to remake this track soon, I am currently bussy with 2 other projects and a collab. Most presets are from nexus yeah, I'll try to stick of nexus an bit more. It's my baby. :3
I'll be sure to check some of your stuff too.
Thanks for reviewing!
Nice!
This is a pretty good song to start off :)
Maybe change the hi-hat to something a little less gritty - kinda hard to explain that one but pm if you want explaination..
It is a little repetitive, not too bad though - that's where you should start messing with cut-offs and adding different effects throughout the song that make it interesting to listen to.
And also, something I always try to do in my music is make a melody - definitely try that here.
Other than that, really overall a good song :)
Keep up the awesome songs!!
Check out some of my stuff please, would really appreciate it!
ShootingStar
Thank you very much! I will be getting some nice house percussion samples (including hi hats) soon! I probably should've added a melody, yes. Usually I make like a pad then forget lol. Thank you for the review!
Nice!
This is a really great sounding song - first of all it's very professional, sounds great, flows awesome, and best of all has a loud kick :)
Only things I don't really like about this song - the chord progression and maybe the clap - its a little loud.
Other than that, really great song :) Can't say much more.
Keep up the awesome songs! :D
Look forward to more releases!
Please check out some of my work!
ShootingStar
Interesting :)
The only thing I personally don't like is your "clap" - I think it could be a little shorter and something maybe harder.. (i know i didn't explain that very well :D sorry pm if you want example)
Other than that, really sounding good :)
Really liked all the instruments together :) Sounded really nice :D
Check out some of my stuff!
ShootingStar
thanks for the review :)! ya i tried to have a softer clap with alot of reverb on purpose, but it is all opinion :), no big. i'll be sure to stop by!
Yeah dude!
Really sounds awesome!! really like the epic sound and feel to it :D
Just curious, but what program do you use and what samples?
Cause I've been trying to make something like this but I really don't have the samples for it :P
Keep up the awesome songs!! :D
Check out some of my stuff!
ShootingStar
Oh yeah :D
Dude - to start off it was a little weird with the bass because it was like on weird beats and stuff
But then at 0:20, it was like yeah! jammin to my favorite music :D
Also, regarding some mastering issues, i would take down the snare a little and pull up the kick, sounds a little treble and snare heavy..
And maybe a little repetive especially towards the beginning of the song, but not too bad..
Overall, I think you did a great job on taking this song and completely flipping it upside down (in a good way) and turning it into your own style, really great job!
Keep up the awesome tracks dude!
Check out some of my work please!
ShootingStar
Yay, thanks for a new review from you, ShootingStar, I'm glad you liked the track overall! Of course I'll work on it a bit soon and edit the mentioned things. :]
I've been making music for about 4 years now, I use Fl Studio 9, and I'm currently signed to 5 Line Records. A new album will be available for purchase soon, hope you can support me!
