[Lustrous Amalgamation]

I can dig this, sounds very Ronald Jenkees-esque. If you don't know who that is I suggest looking him up.

OcularNebula responds:

I certainly know who he is!

[Solar Rain]

Man that lead. I really enjoyed this one, good job. The kicks do need to go up and a bit more punch if possible. I'd take that open hat down in level a bit too, other than that, you have a masterpiece.

Geoplex responds:

I think you're right about the hats - I messed with them a lot, though. Any quieter and the mix felt like it lacked treble :/
I might actually juice the kick up and update the file if I get around to it, though.

Thanks for the feedback! :P

[Miracles&Experiences]

Melody was pretty good. Could have had more variation with higher end. I'd suggest adding a few more sounds with a different melody to extend the song a bit more. Was also not a fan of the snare. Other than that, it was some good work.

Aphyrmehrius responds:

Thanks ! nice review it will help a lot ! =)

[Just In Time]

This is pretty fucking good man. Think maybe a little more mixing to add depth, but other than that, this kicks ass. You gained yourself a new fan.

WilliamSSA responds:

wow Thanks!! really! (:

Go study dubstep. get better equipment/programs and samples and PRACTICE.

Ectohelix responds:

I wasn't sure when I made this if it classified as dubstep, house, progressive house, or something else. It's all experimental as I am practicing, but you're right in that dubstep seems more 'random'.

As far as getting better software/samples, I've got decent software (Ableton/NI), save for drums (in this song). I've since picked up a decent drum vst (in my other song), but learning to wheel them better.

I'll be the first to admit I'm not the best at mixing/mastering either. So, I could be squandering powerful software... Trust me when I say, I'm practicing my brains out. I do appreciate your feedback man! Thanks!

[Carefulstep 2.0]

You need better drum samples for one. The drum patterns just weren't, idk, dubsteppy enough. You didn't follow any of the norms of dubstep. The bass sounds were nice for a more housey sound. Try again man, it isn't complete shit, but it isn't too good. With practice and better programs/equipment and samples, you'll get better sounding.

Ectohelix responds:

Exactly the type of honest constructive criticism I was hoping to find here. Thank you!

The samples weren't samples, I just played via MIDI, but I understand. Was going for simple kick/snare, but starting to think that my BPM and patterns are off. I'm a strong 2 months into this, so you can bet your bottom dollar I'm going to be practicing hard and software tampering for a long time. Learning Dubstep/House.

I've searched around for good programs/vsts, and replies always lead me to the same or likened. I've even purchased a few reputable ones. So, there's a good chance my software is OK, but my output/method is bad. I'm even making feeble attempts at side chaining.

If you or anyone else have further advice, or advice on softwares and/or places to study (free preferable), please don't hesitate to message me! Thanks again for your candor landon91! :)

[-= Sentinel Prime (RMX)=-]

God, that snare, I want it. Really nice man!

TheBiocide responds:

Ahaha! Love it when people can appreciate a snare ;) Thanks, dude!

[Sick Ass Beat (WIP)]

I thought the kick was overpowering. The "wobble" bass sounds exactly like a preset I have downloaded for massive. Also the claps were too loud and out of place. Keep working on it it has potential, especially with the lead. I liked the acid synth you used for it.

MrRandomist responds:

The wobble bass wasn't a preset; we'll keep working on it :)

Glad you like the acid.

[Bohemian Rhapsody 2.0]

You skipped a lot of parts. Pretty good otherwise.

EKublai responds:

I skipped the first verse since it's exactly the same as the second verse. I would have done it had I been singing, but otherwise it drags a bit in my opinion until you get to the second half.

[Odyssey of Centuries]

\m/ Rock on.

DanJohansen responds:

Yeah! Rock on!
