nice improvements :)

I already reviewed this before I think, but this one seems more engaging than the last one. mixing is pretty damn solid. It seems like the song could use some more energy, or change. it does kinda go on for a while with the same overall feel....but I suppose that was the style you were going after.

after seeing the absolute crap that somehow managed to take up four spots on best of the week this week, I'll say that you deserve a 10. (I would rate 9, but in comparison with the rest of the shit topping all the good submissions, you deserve 100/10 imo)

ahaha, thanks man :D

nice!

great work with the main synth in there, loved all the different things you were able to do with it. sounded awesome.

a bit repetitive, but that might just be the style of the track.

I've been listening to you progress ever since you added me on msn, and I gotta say....dude you have improved a LOT. and in a short span of time too. =)

keep it up, I seriously am interested to know where your style is heading.

5/5 10/10

Sirdangolot5 responds:

Thanks, man. You've been my inspiration from super-early on, and I can really only hope to achieve your level of success!

keep going, don't let life slow you down

Good work on this song, you are definitely improving.

If your music is what you do, DO IT MAN. Don't let other people tell you otherwise. People who see you enjoying something and succeeding at it will often try to discourage it and make it seem like something horrible or unnecessary.

To that I say one thing: prove them wrong. Your brother should be nothing but proud of your achievements.

about the song itself, I think that it is much improved from your previous works. you did a good job on the variation at the beginning, I love the glitching you did on the bass/kick. the lead was very nice, good work on the chords for that. your mastering is improving as well :)

keep at this dude. I'm sure that at some point, it will pay off for you and your brother will finally realize how good it truly is.

MrFijiWiji responds:

thnx i thought i really improved too.. my mixes are much cleaner now i think... thnx to help from you :D

cool stuff =)

has a good melody, lots of potential in this track, enough that I think I'll take the time to remix it ;)

great work with the filters, you did well with the variation in this too.

cons: some of the notes are a little out of place at times, and don't really fit in the song all that well, and your kick is kinda weak.

pros: lots of improvement here, sounds like your put more effort into this track. Not much else I didn't already say at the top of this post. ^

I'd give it an 9/10, 5/5

keep up the improvement!

Sirdangolot5 responds:

You were 90% of the inspiration for this song, so I'm really glad you reviewed and that you're gonna remix it in your old style! Track of the year, anyone? XD

Nice Work!

Sounds great for a cinematic score, I'd say. Melody is pretty decent, love the overall vibe - it really does give you a feeling like you are setting out across some great distance.

Unfortunate score you have here.... :( Newgrounds rating system at its very best.

I'll vote 5... managed to bring it up to 3.40 / 5.00 (+ 0.82)

Loads of thanks to you!

i keep getting 0 bombed on all my tracks T_T i donno why. i allways leave a comment if i rate, so why can't this person? it's not hard, just speak your mind even if you don't like it. at least tell us WHY you 0 bomb us all :(

Nice flow

I really like this loop. It has a great overall vibe to it, even had me rocking my head to the beat right at the 38 sec mark.

Can't really critique the mixing/mastering of this track. Truly, this is of some pristine quality sir!

keep it up, love it. 5/5 10/10

Kazmo responds:

Glad you enjoyed it man. :D

I shall keep it up!

lol, I saw the title.

I made a song like a year and a half ago called "the rise." so when I saw yours I thought I might give it a listen.

not bad. you definitely have a firm grip on the fundamentals of making a song.

Some things you may want to work on:

*clipping: I could hear a bit of it in the beginning, but it wasn't terrible. might need to just add a limiter on your song.

* repetitiveness: again, not too shabby. I've heard far worse, believe me. ;)

* melody: this was the thing that held you most back. Although the song has great flow to it, and your eqing was pretty decent, the melody itself just wasn't emotionally pulling enough. Try to experiment with different notes until you get a decent progression going.

Overall, nice work! I can see that you put a lot of effort into this, and such is the music creation process. Just work on the things I listed, you will be sure to improve.

4/5 7/10

nightsurfermusic responds:

Still going. Thank you very much for the review. :)

Lower the master channel.

It's got a terrible amount of clipping. But I like it, and I can see you put a lot of work into it. Nice gating effects. My suggestion would be to lower the overall volume of the master channel, and put a limiter on it. Then lower the attack, release, and ahead envelopes.

Also, the piano seems to have a bit too much reverb.

Pros: Nice melody. I like it, and its unique. You did a good job with the variation, and the gate effects were pretty nicely put. You may find it useful to take a look at my song "fall into the sky." Listen to the gate effects in there, and take it as an example. The piano sounded unique too. If you used FL keys, I couldn't tell, because it was done quite well.

cons: none that I didn't already add suggestions for. Improve this track, and let me know when you upload it again. I will do my best to review it.

4/5 7/10

THE-SYKER responds:

Thanks for the advise but im using the demo version. no save so i havnt got a copy. i do the song, export and upload. but i will definatly take all this in mind when making new stuff. thanks man.

Not going to water this down - awesome track.

I was looking through the new tracks this morning, and out of boredom I just happened to click yours. Now, I normally produce trance/dnb, not hip hop. In fact, I have come to dislike much of the genre due to all the s**t that you hear on the radio these days. But omg, dude...this track is breathtaking. You did an excellent job.

The beat was well made, the sfx added that extra bit needed to give it that dynamic many of the tracks out there are missing.

The piano was outstanding. And that is a comment you won't get out of me easily, as piano is one of my favorite elements in any song (it has to be perfect, and boy, did you manage that).

When the strings first came in, that was when I thought, "wow." You really managed to pull them off. I can tell you put a lot of effort into this project.

The only thing that came to mind is the slight clipping in some parts on the percussion, but it seemed to almost add more to the song rather than take away.

To close this review, I will remind you - I'm no hip hop fan. I produce trance and DnB. Yet you were able to impress me enough to give you the ten that this track deserves. I hope that you continue to make good stuff like this, it's f**king awesome!

5/5 10/10

PS. Check out some of my work if you get the chance. ;)
