Awesome!

Wicked nice WIP man, can't wait for the full!

steven-mcl responds:

Me neither! My time being taken up mostly by university, it's good to stretch the ol' musical legs eh? Thanks for the review.

[(Dj-Admin)Raving Lunatic]

Not bad.

Melodies were fairly good, as well as the synths.

I could hear a slight bit of distortion form the kick. To fix that, put Fruity Peak Controller in its effects channel.

Talking about effects, you really should put some reverb and delay on your leads, and some reverb on your hat and clap.

Not bad overall man, keep up the good work.

Djadmin responds:

Thanks for the review and the advice. I'm still pretty new at this and to be honest I didn't know Fl could do some of that stuff.

[Rule of 8th's <Seth>]

Man this is great!

Loved this one man, It's very inspirational :D

It looks like you've found our style man :D

Perfect chillaxin music, I didn't really find it that repetitive at all.

You should submit this on SoundCloud, there's record company's all over the place there, you have talent man.

Keep up the good work!

[Revert <Seth>]

Not bad

Not bad man.

Had a nice smooth pace, and good mixing and mastering.

A couple things though, from 0:00-2:46, there's waaay to much bass on that synth, and hardly enough on the kick, and the track's a tad long.

So, good pace mixing and mastering, take some bass away from that synth and add some to the kick.

3/5 8/10

SethKorn responds:

haha i responded to this, but NG deleted my response :O

DAMN YOU INTERNET >:O

Anyways, yeah, after coming back to this song, i've realized that this isn't really my best work, lol. I'm suprised you gave it an 8 to be honest xD

Thanks for the review in any case, and your tips helped :D

[Dream Glider (ACINO)]

Pretty good

Pretty good track man, had a very nice ambient feel to it. Good background music.

To be honest, I think crashes would take away a bit from this track, sounds good as is.

4/5 9/10

[Fresh Break <Seth>]

Nice man

I quite enjoyed this one, it was nice and relaxing.

Nice length man, your longest song so far eh? Haha.

Nice wobbles man, pumped it up a bit. How do you do those anyways? I can't figure it out :(

Only thing that I could suggest is that you put some reverb on your hats and clap, that would add some background depth and would make the song more trancy.

So yeah, nice track man, keep it up :)

4/5 9/10

SethKorn responds:

Haha thanks! :D

and no, my longest was like 8 minutes :O

to do the wobbles, mess with the LFO in sytrus (might be different in Nexus) and change the speed . Pretty easy :D

I tried messing with the reverb but i couldn't get anything that sounded right to me. haha. i'll mess with it later :D

Thanks for the review man. PM me when you come out with a new track. I know itll be fucking awesome :D

[[Zerest] Starlit Sky]

Niiice

Great song man, I'm happy you finally got a song completed :D

Quite relaxing, good to use as like a background music because it's so calm.

Nice transitions and arps, the synths you used suited them perfectly.

So yeah, good job man.

5/5 10/10

steven-mcl responds:

Thanks a bunch man. I'm quite happy about this song, completely to my liking. Thanks for the rating too. :D

[Halloween Dubstep <Seth>]

Not bad.

The mixing is definitely better, and it sounds like the piano has a bit more delay on it, it sounds nice (you're good with Keys).

You need to pump up your bassline a bit, it sounds a little weak, maybe add a flange effect.

I dunno, that's it really, I don't really know much about Dubstep.

So, keep at it man.

I'll have that remix done soon :)

SethKorn responds:

haha you should look up some DatSik or something, he's amazing at dubstep. And awesomeee :D

[Halloween (Dubstep) WIP]

Heeey

Not bad man, not bad at all.

I don't really listen to Dubstep, so I can't give you a very good review.

Alright, the piano in the intro was fairly nice, but it sounded as if it went a little off key, and that kinda brought it down a notch.

The mixing definitely needs a bit of work, as well as the bassline, but all in all this well done.

Keep it up man, you're getting better and better :)

Hit me up when the full version's out.

SethKorn responds:

haha i purposely detuned the piano, to give it that kind of creepy feel, maybe too much?

The full version is out haha.

Thanks for the review dude :D
