on R13 - CHAOZ by roel13
This track is insane! I liked the dark elements in this a lot. Probably abit too hardcore for my taste but it was an interesting listen. It sounds like what a really bad LSD trip would look like, if that makes any sense? Good track!

on Im never going to try making hardstyle again by IndigoShay
Haha it wasn't even bad mate. The production and sound was spot on. It just never feels like it fully kicks off. You should work on a good melody to blend into this, played on the high notes, because theirs allot of bass and middle but lacks the higher sound in my opinion. Good job

on Zone by chaosismylife
Interesting listen. It starts out sounding slightly happy hardcore, but i love when it changes into the Marilyn Manson part. Brilliant melody and i like the way you've blended it into this track. Loved Manson's work on resident evil. Really enjoyed this, good job!

on EmperMusic - Track 3 by EmperMusic
I like the synth you've used in this, sounds like it's side chained to the bass drum which makes the tune bouncy. The track sounds raw but in a good way. Some of the samples sound slightly too jagged for my liking. Apart from that, this is a nice track.

on Daemon In Mir by Hirogenium
I enjoyed this track, nice tune and good flow. However it doesn't feel like it hits it's peak, i think your right in that it needs more vocals. Good work

on Ante-Christ by FineRedMist
This reminds me of something that Mortiis would do, although i like you're vocals much better. Very good track, i love the whole black metal vibe and it's very atmospheric. Really good job

on Halo by splickitysplit
I loved the whole build up, the male choir sounds brilliant and gives the song an "epicness". You're right about it going crazy in the middle lol. Very different to most the trance I've heard and quite original. Good job

on Fancy Pants by Kper
It sounds like you had a lot of fun making this, it's got a blend of just about every single style of music haha. Sounds like you've done a megermix of 10 different songs. This is realy well mixed and i enjoyed listening to it, good job.

on Never Again by Spivkurl
This track really cheered me up. I agree with the reviewer who said it reminds him of something off the bonkers albums. If you search "Bonkers 3 - Happy Days" on youtube that's the track it reminds me of. Good work btw!

I'm glad I could cheer you up friend! I looked up Bonkers, and I can definitely hear the connection. Thanks for giving me the heads up on that! Glad you liked it! Thanks for the review!

on Complex Everyday by Beyond
I really enjoyed this track! Sounds very raw but sometimes i like that in a song. Theirs definitely the fundamentals of an excellent track here, your rapping's brilliant! Good work

on Eternal by koble
This is a really nice mellow track, I'd like to play this while driving on a rainy night. The production is good apart from some parts that sound too muddy for my liking... All in all a very good track :)

on THE BEAUTY OF LIFE by ROCHEY
Cool track, sounds like you've just about mastered vangaurd, it's my favourite VST :) The sample you've used goes brilliant with this track, nice melody too. Good work

on This is the End by joshthedjentleman
This track rocks! Love the guitar harmonies. Although it doesn't sound as if music production/Mastering is your strongest point (yet), you're creativity and guitar playing are wicked! Good track

thanks man, this was from before I got cubase, cubase allows for much better mastering

on Carry The Weight (feat. Minette) Club Mix by c_man
I'm surprised at the lack of reviews. I like this track although at times the acapella doesn't fit too well. Must have been difficult to create the music around the lyrics but you've done a good job of it. Keep it up!

on You know it dont stop by NoxideMusic
This tracks mad! In a really good way, i didn't know what note was gonna come next. Love the sample at 0.41 when it kicks in. Proper in your face! Love it, good job... what plugins you using in this?
NoxideMusic
NoxideMusic replied Unknown
thankss for the comment my gf loves this one too, its probs only one of myn she likes lol, erm, i used Z3ta+ and thats it, i took the vocal off a dubstep song i heard, and i thought,.. that would fit just nicely so i chopped it up and checked results i thought it was ok but i still feel theres something missing, it needss to be extended, cos tbh its a house song and its really short :/
Thanks for Review anyway Mate

on nightcrawlers by cait
This tracks so exotic and enchanting. I'd enjoy driving to this sort of music. The drums and percussion sound really complex, i wish i could make beats like this. Good work!

on Extremchor by DJDOUBLE
I liked the beat and the melody. The choir synth you used sounded slightly dated though. If i was you I'd put some re-verb on the choir track so the note changes sound more natural, as it sounds too robotic as it is. Good work

on Ooh Girl by SliqstaMcQueen
I realy enjoyed this, could definatley see this being played in the clubs up my way. It has a great groove to it. Maybe another layer of music/synth towards the end over the courus would keep it more interesting. Nice work!

on Night Skys by XxDeMONxX
I've just joined and listened to about 6 random tracks so far and this one is by far my favourite. Gorgeous melody and i like the syths you've used. The title sets a nice image to go along with the track. I'd be delighted if i come up with somthing like this, Good work!

on Stamina by Fumat
I thought the beat was good. It definitely has the fundamentals of a good trance/chill out track. But it does sound abit empty and needs a couple more layers of music. I'm Looking forward to hearing the finished track.

on Robotic by chaosismylife
I like this track, love the snare drum you used, sounds like the old Streets of Rage music form the sega megadrive. Gets better futher into the song. at the start it feels like it going to kick in and change direction, but it stops and starts to built up again wich was a little frustrating. All in all a good creative well mixed track 7/10.

on pride before the fall by throughthevalley
Sounds slightly bland if i'm honest, i liked you're vocals although they need some work too. I liked the part at 3;06 when the song cut out and then kicked back in again. Good effort!
