That hurt my eardrum

Not because it was a bad song, its just that, ok i get its an industrial song, but that doesn't mean you can't compress, EQ, mix and master this song so that there is less eardrum breaking distortion!

I would seriously re-EQ the whole song and then re-submit it, as a "digitally remastered" version. Don't get me wrong, the song is good, just that everything has a point were everything is good until its just too much.

Chromatronic responds:

any distortion or over powering is on purpose. it's part of the genre. Im sorry if it's to much for you to handle.

That gave me chills

I think this could go somewhere. As how it stands right now, the song is ok. With some strings on the background, better quality and mixing of the vocals and mastering of the entire song, this could be a really great song. Dont stop there. remake it!

heather-lanham responds:

wow! that's great. I'm trying to fix a few bugs, but I'd like to do a collab with someone since my synth machine works, but it stinks. if anybody's interested, yourself included, I'm working on v.2 of 'child of gaia', with a few changes, the lyrics are being tweaked, so-on. but I need someone with a decent synth to team up with.

note: as it is, all that was recorded was my voice (one layer) in a stairwell. it's a demo for a reason, I didn't put any effort into this, but with your input I'll be able to make v.2 something amazing. thanks so much!

if only other people would be so nice as to tell me what they think about my work.

It's Good

Wouldn't classify it as techno, more like alt hip hop. you seems to be very creative with the drums [i hope those are not samples, well even if they are, good use of them] What you need to work on i see [alot] is your mixing and mastering technique. Every good producer has his own style and sound when it comes to mixing and mastering, its very clear from the song that u still need to find your voice. Keep working at it.

Geognosis responds:

Thanks. usually I can't really classify my own stuff since I dont really fit into most of the genre's however thanks for the review. That song got rushed by a friend of mine since he liked it so much and I put it together in a 10 minute rush since he needed then and there. so i'll work on my mixing and no the drums were not samples. I made the song from scratch using Reason.

Wow....

Hey, its Allen A, you reviewd me and im giving the favor back. So....this song, i mean i didnt even know that there was an idustrial section in thr ng audio page but i guess i should come more often cuz this song is killer. i love the intro, kinda had a weak ending but since i dont listen to alot of indrustrial (just stick to trance house and techno)i wont critize you much. But yea i can see how much you put into this. im giving you a 4/5.

-Allen

itsameyayo responds:

The ending isn't a crowd-pleaser as I'm noticing, so I'll have to work on slicing sounds, because I've got an idea to kick this song back into action : )

-SuperDrummer146

Its alright, just that...

Why is it playing on the left side only? Apart from that, its a really strong beat.

-llennnn

Feez responds:

im havin problems with my equipment which is really frustrating, seems to only record on the left side, but hope to fix it soon. thanks for the good review

Haha i know this

You did mess up the notes at the end, but i guess thats just to put your own spin on things. good job man, i like the bass drums.

-Allen

Mynewaccountis-OCON responds:

Hmm, did i mess up? oh well, thats how i learned it, and i like the way it came out lol, i wanted to do a pretty unique remix and i did ^^ Thanks for reviewing!

You put my work to shame

I really like this tune + i wish i had that flute sound, because it sounds almost like a female voice saying ooooohhh!!! Im glad you made this, one thing though im not ok with is that to me it sounds more like a trance song as it goes on. The transitions or "build-ups" on this song were just too long. Just my opinion man, dont stress it. I still love it, make more, and do me a favor. review some of mine.

-llennnn

synteza responds:

Trance for the win. Review appreciated.

-Extracy-

enjoyed it

Takes you back to the tech-dance 90's club scene doesnt it? nice man, very pro sounding, and i must say...with the FL5.....im kinda doubtful that that is the only program you used, even though you said youve been using for 4 years now (i have it since Feb. of last year). Tell me, you said that you started with hardware now. I have $250 that i want to spend. What hardware or possibly software for music production and sequencing should i buy? What do you have? Whats your opinion? and can you come check some of my songs out? the most recent if you can, like "Syko".

-Allen

Draze responds:

All of my tunes on ng are made from software. Though next year when i turn 18, i intend to take my name to clubs.

For sequencing, thats usually formatted as MIDI, you can wire up some cords from a computer, all major music programs can output MIDI, or you can use a keyboard ect.

Hook it up to a mixer, and get some nice synthesisers :)

And i did only use FL for this track ;)

Hope i helped somewhat,

You really spanish?

If so where you from man, and do you speak it? neway, the song is killa. loved everybit of it except its too short. You should remake it, make it longer and add some violins. i got this sick riff on my head, maybe i can add some to it. Your choice.

Dj-Edxtreme responds:

Im a dominican si hablo espaƱol go ahead add the violins i just thought it was good enough like that i stoped working on it started doing technos and hip hop.

I like your drums

The rest needs work. The cello bass is good but your piano is off key. It threw off the whole song for me. Good try though. i say you remake it.

-Allen A.

DJ-DairyKing responds:

Aye man. Thanks. I will do a remix. I been practicing with the piano, tryin to get it down pat. I guess I need to practice a lil bit more b4 I put that stuff in my song.
