on Yeah by Mrbillionx
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTTQF7EanUs go to 1:56 and I can see what you're doing is the same. Not trying to compare the tracks, just showing you what you should probably do for the edit. Mixing this would suck mad banana, so you should probably think of adding about 20-30 seconds of intro before hitting us knuckle-first with the drums, bass, and synths. Got a nice vibe, no doubt, but that beginning kinda put me off.
Is there a layered drum track behind the loop you used? It's a really good loop, though it's missing clarity and focus. Get a snare and bass kick, they don't have to be loud, just soft enough to notice a difference. Mute the layer then unmute it to see the difference.
Are there 3 tracks in this?

on J Dub finished version by sn76
Intro is a deff killer, brings back some sick vibes from the 90's, nice one. The drums are good and all, but there's something wrong, like you tried to put 'em in the background. Straight up: don't. Get them to come forward like the stabs, they need more power.
Bass needs a little amping, souends like they're bouncey/jumpy bass hits, I still have to experiment with this but compress that sucker and get em do have a more 100-200Hz sound, than a 40-60Hz sound, this will give the people with no sub the feel of it. No doubt it's got a nice feel to it, it jsut needs a little work IMO.
The vocals work real nice. Stretched to perfection, and honestly man, it takes a lot of control to get a simple sound, you hit it right on the nail.
Keep it up man, and how many songs you got on the EP?

on Care Package by Influx
A very nice track, my friend. Lots of atmosphere and character. ne thing I have to add is that its a bit flat. If you don't know what I mean check this out... it helped me. http://audio.tutsplus.com/articles/general/are-the-volume-wars-killing-music-which-side-are-you-on/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+audiotuts+%28Audiotuts%2B%29&utm_content=Twitter
Hope this helped. Other than that you got your stuff down mate.
Keep it up!

Yeah I know what you're saying. I checked out the link you gave me and tried out the things it said. I'm pretty sure the problem comes with the synth I created. It has a ridiculous amount of things combined into it and I think that makes it sound like it's flat.. Anyways, i'll look more into it. Thanks for the info, glad you enjoyed the song! :D

on FREESTYLEZ Jungle (!!!PLEASE DOWNLOAD FULL 320!!!) by Freestylednb
Nice tune man, lots to off but the fade outs' are a little strange, doesn't help the flow in some places. But the beat is sick and the bass is at a nice level. Keep it up man.

on 21Guns (our version) by keyj
Hey mate, the guitar is way too looud and needs a lot of eqing; put some reverb on it a little. Reverb your voice as well, it'll give it a nice little touch. Snare needs a little bump as well, actually everything does as well in the beat, except the kick.
Guitar is quiet amazing; just needs a little defining. Singing is pretty good, do more of these and you'll be quiet good after a while.
Keep on keeping on!

on The Project - Escape to the bass by dubstep4life
Latin shakes? Okay! 8D
Nice bass levels, tambre changes are good too. I don't understand why there's a huge change between all of it? You faded out the first half to introduce a totally different section? I guess it works. The layered bass on the second half needs to be turned down a little, and maybe double up the hi hats at that point to give it a little funk, but other than that, thats a good track mate.
Keep on keeping on!

Well it needs a little mastering, but your voice has potential. So keep it up and things will improve!
Sorry this wasn't as helpful as I could but pop isn't my avenue.

on SIMKA - Change by simkadbstep
The guitar was a little off in the beginning, but the deep house changed all that later on. You got a nice sound going later. And literally I was tapping my foot on purpose, and and I don't usually do that. :)
Honestly man, tell you the truth, take out the beginning, put the minimal as the track. Great sound man... keep it up!

on Moment of Clarity By Blume (Ft Moon Whisper) by BlumeChoon
Yes man, rudeboy on the rundown!
Love the drums man, hardcore stuff. I sense you are using the amen break to sound as it is (high mid, lowered low and high)? If so, nice useage, but if not I'd suggest making it a little more snippety.
Atmosphere is nice, good work man, keep it up! Love that you've foudn your niche'!
Steve

EDIT: To be hoesnt, it's kind of hard to explain, but check this song out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tk2pwDQSkZg&NR=1 the beat seems like it has breaks of silence in it. like each snare, hit hat and kick is very quick, lol i'm not sure if that defined, "snippity" but if you get the loop and fade out each beat it should give you this feel. Maybe the right word is choppy, lol can believe I didn't think of it before. Oh well, hope this helped!

BlumeChoon replied Unknown
Yes sir...I appreciate you stopping by man. Yeah I tweaked the crap out of that amen...lol...but what do you mean by snippety? Like closer together or so it doesn't sound all smashed together? Yea definitely like I told Rollagee this is huge coming from hard hitters like you guys. I really do appreciate it. Let me know when you got a new one up...I'll be sure to check it out and drop a review. THanks again man making my day today...Blume:)

on Lyrics needed please by lukect
Thanks for reviewing my track man.
Well first of all I'd make the bass a a little more punchy and give it more low-mid eqing.
Another thing might be that you could add a 1/6 reverb to give it more length - add a stereo pan effect.
Have to agree that a female vocalist would be a nice addition.
@ about 3:40 it's good but the same... the same as before... add a little more variation, trust me, one thing I do is I save the project as 1a or 2b or whatever. Just so you don't loose what you have later, and can come back. But, experimenting wiht different sounds and chords will help that progress a little more. Gives it a little more depth. :)
Hope that helped!

on Big Shot by DjKrepz
Other than not using your own production skills, the arangement was well put together, but was a little too repetitive at times.
Keep it up though,
Steve

Edit: I meant that there were a lot of loops used that I've heard from loop packs. Not saying using loops is a bad thing.

on Law of the Jungle by DjKrepz
Hey bud, right off the start something I would of done, is start off with the pad rather than the arp. Bring in the arp later.
The beat: cymbals are a little low, bass at 1:22 is a little loud and distorts the background music. Bass is a little loose in the treble and mid section, tighten it up a bit. Just my opinion. @ 3:09 the beginning comes in again, but it comes in way too suddenly, the transition is not flowing.
Overall, other than a few touchups, this is good.
Keep it up,
Steve

on Voyager by MCHN
Very well done track man! Although, there were parts of the song that I thought were happy... where I didn't understand because if I were to see the earth die... I wouldn't know what to do. Yet, the good and bad moments I'd probably think of, so I suppose it was appropriate. The instruments were exceptionally well used, and worked in every setting. Definetely put myself in the position of Spok on the recent Start Trek movie where his planet is consumed by the red liquid black hole.
I enjoyed this man, well done! Keep it up!
In fact, I'm going to fav it... props bruv.

MCHN replied Unknown
Hey, thanks for the review and fave. I can see how some of the sounds, the acoustic and poly synths mostly, have really happier tones. Though, I never actually thought about the character looking back at happier time. Kinda fits in my head more. The Spock reference is really cool. Forgot about that scene lol. Thanks and Cheers :D

on Darkslide (almost finished) by Djabel
Like the sped up drums in the beginning.
Ooohhh, nice effects and basses in the begginning.
Did you use loops for your beat or is that all you?
Drop wasn't what I expected, especially with the effects and basses you were using beforehand... if you make that drop exceptional, that would be an epic drop man.
One other thing, if you make a synth to somehow go with the bass, maybe a mid to low key pad-like synth (long attack/release with a halfway sustain), just a sugestion :)
Keep it up man, nothing bad comes out of experimenting :) (unlss it has to do with atoms and splitting them.)

Hey Steve, thanks for the review :^) Yeah man main drums are all my own werk! I hear what your sayin about the drop, just workin on it now! your review was a great one as it gave me some food for thought, wicked stuff mate!! I think i'll try fission instead of fusion lol

on Different by santiagosky
Hey man, respect for the vocals. I'd put a little high freq's on it, cause it's a bit muffled. Do the same with the beat, but only a little.
Positive tracks like this are hard to come by, so it was nice hearing this, good on yah man!
Keep it up!

on Koir by HMNN
What program you use? Yeah, the cutting is bad, sorry to hear that, would of sounded crisp man. Got sick sounding to it man. The reverse snare gives it a nice feel too every now and then. The vocal like pad is dope bruv! Hard to find good song where you just get lost in them. This is one of them man.
Nice pan swirlin! Sick dub feel after the drop, but I would have cut the bass off to let the other instruments come in.
Great tune man, i don't usually fav anyones tunes, but you deserve it man!

on Shy by Plainsman
Ez mate, you got to work on the mastering a little, it`s distorting a wee too much.
Vocal is nicely used.
Nice bring in of the keys at ~1:10 but they fad from the lack of mastering...
Keep it up though,

on Planar Shift by DJDigital
Nicely done, sounds like you put a lot of time into this for your first track - looks like you got a few gene's of creativity in yah. It's amazing what a few good loops can do eh?
Was that a vocal stuttering to the lead up?
This is an insane track man, hard to keep up with nice got some potential!
What program you use?
Keep it up,
Steve

on Kidroy - B 52 Cycle by Kidroy
You got some nice sounds/effects in there although the beat is very weak compared to the other sounds, if you spice the durms up a little - maybe with some compression/limiting the bass and effects you got going with sound a lot better.
Only thing I can hear/tell about this song.
Other than that, nicely done.
Keep it up

on Night Life by dubstep4life
Nice use of reverb on the intro synth. Gives it a propa atmosphere.
Nicely panned and paino gives it a nice touch.
Those your own drum tracks or loops?
You know you've hit the tune right on when you can use a whack of synths/sounds and make them combine to make a greater sound.
Bass needs a little upin'. Is the bass a square, sine, or triangle?
Pce and keep it real!

on Check it by DJ_Faze
Needs mastering man - it's gritty almost all the way through - not the sounds themselves but the overall quality.
Seems a little random at times, like you're going from one idea to the next, no doubt sometimes that's alright but it didn't seem to go well in this....
Try to look for some vocals to put in there as well - spice it up a little. Wasn't expecting a quick cutoff at the end but, it need s little work, other than that keep it up :)

on pink walls by OzzyDubba
Hey bud - nice track - but the synth that comes in around 1:10 takes away some of the other frequencies that you got going on, make that a little lower.
Nice transition going on at 1:50, lol but I hate that snare you brought in, but thats just a preference of mine that not everyone shares so don't take it personally.
The punchy synth throughout the song reminds me a bit of the old Age of Empires: Rise of Rome soundtrack.
Keep it up man!
Steve
