[[v150r - liberation dream VIP]]

Wow

This is quite impressive, all the sounds fit together in the intro to create this mysterious texture.
I have a couple suggestions: Add a phaser'd pad to some of the spots to fill in an empty sound.
Other than that, wow. this is seriously amazing. I love the drum samples used, they sound very crisp and clear, I can't think of anything else to really criticize!
Keep up the good work and inform me of more work you do! :)

ty!

[~Beta~ Perception]

Very nice

Really enjoyed this one, everything flows, it has a really nice house feel to it, even though I think you could add more percussive elements (like a shaker or something at 1:36), things like that - even though you may not hear them that loud or they aren't obvious, they should be added in just to keep it flowing.
Other than that though, this is amazing. Interested in a collab sometime? I'm gonna be busy in the next two weeks but afterwards :)
Keep up the good work!

aliaspharow responds:

Thanks man :D and yeah i noticed that at some point i needed to put more into the percussions but i wasnt sure what or when to put anything. I'll probably try and add a shaker line when i get the time, thanks. And yeah a collab would be epic! I love your music style and i'm sure we could work something out great :)

Thanks for the review! Cheers

Wow.

The intro was just amazing, and even everything else. To be quite honest this is quite amazing, to see focus for an entire song like this, and you obviously put tons of work into it. The intro, was probably my fav though with all the electronic sounds and reverb and slides and arps :)
This is purely a masterpiece, I really enjoyed it!
Keep it up, great work :)
Can't wait to hear more :D

-SS

ganon95 responds:

haha yea alot of people really liked the intro.

i love the BIT.TRIP series and this one in perticular is my favorite so it deserves an epic remix.

glad ya liked it :P

[-Another Day-]

Nice!

Wow, this is such a great atmosphere you've created here, I really like it! The beat is right on, it might be a little repetitive, but other than that really great song!
Keep up the great work! :D

Please check out some of my music!

Rekuiem responds:

Thank you, it is a bit repetitive though, I just love the floating vibe i get from it. Feedback greatly appreciated.

[~Alfa~ Muse (NG Mix)]

Wow! :D

This is actually a really great song! I loved it, the pads and everything went together well, really a perfect song. Except one thing in my opinion, the kick needs to be punchier and louder, other than that, amazing song you have here my friend.
Keep up the great work :)

ShootingStar

aliaspharow responds:

Thanks man! Much appreciated.

[Stereo Love (Dance mix) WIP]

I agree

With Pizentios, this is really a great remix, I think probably better than mine! haha but overall it definitely needed some more bass.
Keep up the great work though :)

Please go like my artist page on facebook! Just search "ShootingStar"

Yeah...
OK :)

[Tik Tok Remix[dj-s]]

Nice! :D

Really nice!! :D Liked it a lot :D You had a pretty solid kick there, sounded great!
You could possibly change all that reverb sound where you have the "drop"
You could definitely make this more of a drop i think, and take down some of the high-hat frequencies...
Other than that, really great song!! :D Or should I say remix!
Keep them up!

ShootingStar

Sacrafan responds:

Drop.
o.O

I'm one of those people who doesnt know the technical crap bro.

[Jumping Beans]

Nice one!

Really liked this song! Haha Much improvement lately on your songs, I can really tell you're getting really good! :D

Some comments:
- I hear you're using nexus now? ey? :D Great use of the vst, you picked some of my favorite samples out of it ;)
- Maybe, if you take your time mastering everything, you can make this sound a little better. You definitely need to try and boost the kick some, so try pulling the rest of the sounds down a bit to let that just smash the floor.
- This reminds me of my old songs :D ahhh... Good times ;)
- Really great song here, don't know what else to say :D

Keep up the great work! I really liked this song, it's definitely starting to sound like the pro's do!

Check out some of my latest work please!

ShootingStar

momboom1 responds:

Thanks sir. Yeah Nexus is my favorite VST. Simple, but great. I'll try making some kick changes and see how it turns out. Also, I just recently downloaded like 10 of your songs so that part of the deal is done :P.

[Move For Me (Mans0n RMX)]

I like it :D

So here we go, this is gonna be some very picky stuff I'm about to say.

Bad: The kick definitely wasn't punchy enough, nor deep enough to really call it a house kick, it was ok but definitely needs eqed.

There were moments were the kick just stopped and it was completely random to the listener.. Try and make it a little more predictable so they can at least enjoy it and not be like, wait what? haha

The vocals sounded a little off time, try and make sure they're completely synced correctly.

The mastering, was ehh could've definitely been much better. Start off by making sure the kick is nice and loud ;) Then eq everything else for the most part to your liking, make sure the vocals are loud and clear.. etc that kind of stuff

Also work on the structure of the song, it (as i said before) sounded completely random with the vocals and chords coming etc.

In conclusion:
This is all very nit-picky things that you can work on next time you make a song to ensure that it turns out the best possible. Just make sure you pay so much attention to details and your songs will be amazing ;)

Mans0n responds:

Eh, vocals are synced fine to me.. and yeah I've already been told that about the kick as well :/ Though it sounds just fine to me. And when does the kick just randomly stop? I mean i used perfectly timed breaks but nothing completely random like you stated. And yeah i will admit the chords do start suddenly but i couldn't find a good transition for them :/ And I thought the build up sounded good as well.

but thanks for the review!
