[Open The Eyes Of My Heart Lord]

Astonishing

How they let music like this at top 5, I don't know. You have a lot of nasty-sounding feedback throughout the entire song. It sounds like it is coming from over-processed samples (the vocals). You have waaay too much reverb on the saw-bass and the pluck sound. Structurally, this song is all over the place. If a DJ were to try and mix with this, he would break his wrists trying to find when to transition. The synths are ALL sidechained. There is no need for this, even in house. Also, either the bass is clipping, or you uploaded a REALLY low bitrate mp3. I am leaning towards the former.

Right now house is the ass-end of EDM. Artists like yourself are doing nothing to alleviate the problem. Try again.

Mans0n responds:

first of all, they're have been things that don't even look up to this. pretty much noise. and that's wierd because there is no reverb on my saw bass or pluck sound and can provide video's or screen shots of it haha. and wow you have low expectiations of DJs... because even I could easily mix other songs into or out of this without a problem and im not even a pro. now i can understand that u might not like this song and that's cool i really dont care. but it doesn't mean it deserves a 1 because it's not your preference. and the synths being sidechained are for a purpse obviously. because if it were a version uploaded without it u wud be bitching about it regardless. and i myself never seen a problem with house music because i dont compare music genre based on how popular they are.
so grow up and go whine to someone who cares bro

[Angels vs. Demonz DEMO (Metal)]

AWESOME

This sounds great!! I think, however, the drums could be better. This sounds really good with the orchestral piece.

Jnr1114 responds:

I agree. I don't have a lot of experience in making drums patterns up.

Thank you for reviewingz.

Dude

You need to go to a professional studio and record some of your stuff, because it would sell. The acoustic guitar work is absolutely great. You are really talented!

BrandonHicks15 responds:

Thank you so much.. thats what Ive been wanting to do but no $$$ lol... hope one day i can just be a song writer and sell the songs to like 3 Days Grace or Road Runner Records... But thx for the 10!

[Edge Of Space]

Wow

I REALLY liked this. It sounds really calming and peaceful. I think that if you fix the static that this would get front page in a heartbeat.

MJP-Records responds:

Thanks so much for your commenting

Yeah the static issue is primarily down to my audio interface :(

But i really appreciate your kindness!

[Closing One Mind]

I like it

It sounds trippy. I wish that the bass was a little more bassy. I also think that the main synth line could have varied a little bit more. The samples seem to be a little too loud in comparison to the rest of the beat. But overall I really enjoyed it,

Shallowdreamers responds:

Thank's man.. The Sample's I had were either too quiet.. or too loud.. So I had to balance the sound somewhere.. But thanks man!

[SampleTank Pack Demo]

Wow

Really great sounds in this. When is the sample pack gonna be out? That muted trumpet was GREAT.

sorohanro responds:

Hi
I'm glad that you like it. The sample pack is already "out there". The muted trumpet you can find also as soundfont, Mu.Lab sampler patch, Independence patch and in my "sorohampler" a Maize Sampler instrument.

[Swipa - Reality]

My subs are hungry

This track has some GREAT potential, but it's not quite there yet. Personally, when I hear a dubstep, I want to feel my teeth rattle. Your wobbles lacked that really heavy bass. Also, a 56kbps bitrate is inexcusable. Try and render it at a higher bitrate (if you are worried about people stealing, watermark the audio; at least then the quality would be better). But as of right now, 3.5/5 and 7/10.

Ultimatesin380 responds:

Great constructive criticism, thanks man :)

[[S,J] Mixed Junkie]

Hmm...

Did you just upload a really low bitrate mp3? If not, there sounds like there is some MAJOR clipping. It just sounds too loud. The glitch effects are awesome, and I really liked the wobble bass and 8-bit sounds, but the clipping ruins it. I mean, it's a good track, but that ruins it for me.

SmithCommaJohn responds:

I can guarantee you there's no unwanted clipping. The sound(s) you're hearing that'd most likely be the 'culprit' would be the blippy drums at the beginning, the ones that are almost not there.

I'm sorry you didn't care for it enough to give it a higher score, but such is life.

[Butterfairies]

Nice

This is a really nice ambient loop. The pad really accents the plucking sound. Melody is nice. Overall, really good. +Fav because it really calmed me down.

SoundsOfEscape responds:

Glad I could help ^_^

[[A] Foundation]

Eww...

Porno D'n'B... I hate it so much...

But, nonetheless, pretty good loop. Though, in some ways, I don't know if it would be drum n bass. I think, with the way it sounds, it could be a dubstep track, or something like that. Either way, sounds pretty cool (except for the moaning etc etc).

Mid-Night responds:

Point me in the direction of the dubstep category, DnB fits it enough.
(I was going for dubstep-ish type of track)
;)

but thanks for the words ;P
