[Walk Before Running]

Nice, dude

Ok so I'm not an expert by any means in this genre/style... so I'm going to make this as "un-biased" as possible.

I really enjoyed your synth work. It all worked/flowed quite well. The melody is better than anything I could come up with ;)
The percussion I felt was too simplistic throughout, which I think was intentional... but it still left me wanting more. I was just waiting for that nice crash followed by a busy hi-hat pattern, but it never came.
Overall enjoyable listen, with a very danceable feel to it!
p.s. feel free to take my criticism with a grain of salt, because i know nothing of hardcore/hardstyle whatever you call it ;)

Mushroomhead18nc responds:

I was also feeling the hi-hat line. but when I put it on there.. its just didnt fit well with the other instruments.. since most of the song has a mellow bass and mid sound to it.. the hat was too annoying and I dont have percussion plugins.. only the standard oines from FL.. thats also the reason why I didnt use a good crash either because I have no percussion plugins..

but thanks for the review

[Where Is Your God?]

Wow dude!

I'm fucking impressed! I can barely tell it's my drum track, because you made it seriously badass.
Vocals/lyrics: Twisted and well written. Nice dual layering work ;)
Guitar: Effing rad. I especially loved the whole atmospheric ending you added. Creepy, effective, and overall brutal.

Thanks for using my track for your talents!

BuryYourFace responds:

I was feelin it man ;) hope you submit more of these Shred-a-long's

[[e99] loss]

Nice, dude

I love it when the beat comes in. A couple of things: 1. The high piano sound gets a little repetitive in the last half and 2. There's no real ending to it (donno if it's cuz you lost your project files?) but other than those things, this was quite well composed, I especially like the bass you used. Nicely done!

e991e responds:

Yeah its cuz' i lost the files =( this was pretty rough, there was allot to be done.
Thanks for the review!

[-Orr- ST Suspense]

Wow dude

This makes me feel inadequate as an artist. Thanks alot! haha jk but seriously, the only thing I can really say about this is: Why are you not getting paid to make this stuff? It would work great in a variety of films/games whatever else. Keep up the great work.

DavidOrr responds:

I am getting paid to make this stuff, but this is something I'm offering to the public before I license it away. Glad you enjoyed it!

[S.A.L. Session 2 Bad Man Inc]

The master of shred:

Wow, dude. Sounds amazing, and epic. Sorry about the shitty hi-hat sound near the end of the song. I just obtained EZdrummer, so I'm gonna start messing with that for more realistic sounds. Great work as always, Bad-Man... I'll be tossing another beat your way sometime in the next week or so. Cheers!

p.s. The breakdown actually sounded sweet. You did more of an old school style breakdown, which is still cool.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks dude. Drums kick ass. Can't wait to see what you do with EZ. Just make sure you turn the mix to "dry". That makes the toms and snares WAY more heavy.
The cymbals need to be a "roomy" mix...
So yeah, that means exporting separately. haha. Thats what I do.

Anyways, RTFON.
Thanks for the review, and the drum track to jam to.

[Shred-a-long 2... TN style!]

Nice, dude!

For not planning very much, this turned out quite well ;) What interface do you use to record? Sounds effing awesome, dude... effing awesome. I will totally make this a contest, now. Cheers!! -Alex

TwilightNecrosis responds:

I'm glad you like it, man! Couldn't have done it without your awesome drum track.
I'm using a Presonus Audiobox USB, with a dbx dB10 passive direct box to record my guitar straight in.
For the distortion, I used 4 different amp models (2 per side) going through the same cabinet impulse (simultaneously... less CPU usage when you only have 1 keFIR running, as opposed to 4).
It's a decent setup; I'm a lot more happy with the dbx passive direct box than I was with the Behringer active box I had before.
The dbx's noisefloor is SO MUCH lower, it's almost embarassing.
Anyway, I digress. I'm glad you enjoyed, man. I'm waiting for the next one!
Metal! \m/

[Shred-a-long session jam]

Nice, dude!!

I'm so glad someone actually used this! And so soon after I posted it. Nicely done, I will be posting at least one new Shred-A-Long session every week (though probably more) *favorited*!

Black-Cloak-of-Night responds:

Thanks dude. I will try to mess around every week then.

[Drum Melody]

Not bad

I like the varying tones in the snare, but it sounds too machinated. I'd suggest working with velocities a little bit to give it a more dynamic (and realistic) sound. Also the way it "loops" didn't sit well with me. Other than those nitpicks, it it quite unique and fun. I would like to hear a continuation of this ;) Let me know if you do

poguemahon responds:

I'll see what I can do in the direction of this. I'm going to, I guess, work on a finished piece.

[Syntrus--Hyper Gear]

Very nice!

It does seem a little lo-fi, but it is still very much enjoyable. I fucking love the Kaossilator... isn't that thing a blast to just mess around with!? I'm pretty sure Korg is a bunch of geniuses. Anyways great job, and good luck in the "Feelings of Music Contest" -Alex

Syntrus responds:

I rly like the thing. very expensive but totally worth it.

[=TehBoncey=]

Nice!

Very well done. Enjoyable melodies, with good beat work. Keep it up ;)

mooseymaniac responds:

Thank u, I will
