[Super Latino]

Been such a long time since I listened to some proper acoustic music on here and this is absolutely awesome :D. It makes me wanna stand up and groove.. I just love that latino feel :D.

Not sure if I liked the part from 0:54 to 1:10 where the guitar stops playing though.
I'm at least sure that I didn't like the part from 1:05 to 1:10 where some soundeffects plays.
It kinda ruined the acoustic feel for a moment.
Take that out and this will be perfect

Absolutely loved this track except from that one part and it deservers five stars and an instant favourite :).

Thank you so much for your helpful comment , I'll do my best next time & thanks for telling me & showing me my mistakes or drops . I'm so glad ;)

[You're Mad! (Acapella)]

The fact that this was made on the spot is really amazing :D. Could listen to this for hours XD.
It's true that you might need to work on holding your notes stable but in this little thingy here it actually sounds awesome :D.
Would love to hear this being made into a full song :D.

[The Emaciated Sky]

The track itself is pretty good actually. Especially the percussion.
The song structure is really good and I loved how the flutes came in.

If you want a more post-apocalyptic feel I would recommend messing a bit more around with reverb effects. Try to use different reverb vst plugins like "Valhalla" or "it's a space odessy"
(I'm pretty sure the latter is free).

Also you might also want either a female choir or a higher pitched choir. For me it gives me more of an wasteland and apocalyptic feel with a higher pitched choir.
You could also try putting the choir some octaves up.

Only reason I won't give3 you a full score is because I think the instruments need a bit more reverb and a bit more "spacey" feeling.

4.5 stars from me.

Gokenshadow responds:

Thanks for leaving a comment, dude. Is there any particular reason a higher pitched choir implies post apocalypticness?

[Crossing Borders]

Sound like a good background track for a rap song.
T
he vocals are a bit offbeat though and the part that starts at 1:00 wasn't really that good.
It made it sound very dubstep-ish which really didn't fit with the rest of the song.

The part from 1:00 and out ITSELF though wasn't that bad at all actually it was pretty cool except from the last 20 seconds which sounded way too random and of beat.
Only thing is that it came way to abrubt without any form of buildup or signs that says "There will be a drop soon".

3.5 stars.

Buujack responds:

Thxxx for ur criticsm and feedback

[Dreams]

At first I almost raged because it sounded so offbeat, but as the song progressed i started liking that it was so offbeat though the last part of each bar sound a bit too offbeat. Apart from that it sounds really interesting and would be a really awesome buildup for a dance or dubstep track :D.

Thanks mate!

[My Soul Your Beats Dnbrmx]

This was really nice and i absolutely loved the vocals.
I do thing though that the vocals were a tiny bit offbeat from 0:20 to 0:50.

I also didn't like the parts where the music stops and you only can hear the vocals.
It sounded a bit awkward because it sounds like it stops at random places.

It's like the music and the vocals dosen't mix because they sound like two different entities if you understand what I mean.
Same with the drums, they seem to stand out way too much from the rest of the track.

Tbh I only liked the piano and vocals but they were good enough for 3.5 stars.

[Homes within the Mind]

I will review this as an instrumental as you have written that in the tags:

It's a really nice and hypnotic track and its really well mixed too the lead instrument sounds reall nice too. Would love to hear some vocals over this.
As a standalone track I would have said that it's actually pretty boring and the random breaks are annoying but as I assume that there is supposed to be some sort of vocals over this I think it's really, really good.

Though since there currently is no vocals over this I can't give you a full score.

[Nightmare]

The first 22 seconds of this track wasn't really that bad. I'm not saying the rest was bad but it became incredibly tiring after 20 seconds. If you hade made this into a proper dubstep track with some kind of melody in between and proper drops this could have been pretty good actually but as it is now it is too boring and tiring.
Afraid I can't give you more than 3 for this one.

namirhassan responds:

Yeah, I agree. It's an old tune. Can't find the flp for this track to make it better, but thanks for the review! :)

[Soul Wave]

Nice loop you have here. It's really simple and calming, which is good.
I really liked the drums. Did you make them or did you get them from a sample?

One thing I didn't like though was the panning. The music is louder on one side which makes the song kinda tiring to listen to. I recommend you either drop the panning or you balance the volume better so that the song is just as loud on both sides

Overall though this song was really nice and calming. It's repetive but that dosen't have to be a bad thing, but i do think you could have varied it a bit more.

If it wasn't for the panning I would have given you 4.5 stars but for now I can only give you 4

Svenzo responds:

I made the drums my self

Thanks for ur review !

[Should i finish this???]

the part that starts at 0:30 sounds really interesting. same with the part that starts at 0:15.
Didn like the intro that much though. I think you should finish this :D. I definetly want to hear how it will turn out :).

Demonicity responds:

the intro is supposed to be like it sux :DD
and i will! :DD
