[Stereo Love {Dj-Abbic remix}]

haha sweet

love the original, funny a friend of mine got a car and in the car was the album cd with this song in it. Destiny is it not? A friend of mine asked me to remix this for him but I told him I'd do it eventually but if you wouldn't mind telling me where you the the vox for this. It would save me the trouble, thanks.

oh and if you have time check out my new demo submission.

Long time no review

That click at the beginning might be due to an automation clip not being snapped to the gird properly.
As for the song I think there could be a better flow to the percussion. I think maybe a sharper hitting kick that's not so decayed would sound a bit better too. Also I think the pad should be a little louder maybe even high pass a bit, and I think maybe just a tad more reverb to the lead might sound good. Then there's mastering but that's just some thing you learn with more and more practice xD

I see you're going with Electro/House a lot. Good stuff keep it up. I've tried some of it but then again I've tried a lot of stuff haha.
Check out my new demo submission if you have time.

kthx

[Verbose [5LR]]

hmm

I think the missing part (IMO) would be like a calm down where the piano isn't playing so often, then a pick up.
This whole song, for a trance song, feels like the break down. More of an ambient trance. So I would probably change the percussion around to more of a breakbeat maybe. I'd probably also add more delayed pluck ambient sounds too. Oh and a pad here and there, in the calm down would be nice.
Now the mastering. Even though it's more of a personal thing. I'd probably bring down the bass, the synth at 1:50 i would probably bring down too. raise the drums up a little, and I think the piano is fine.
I just think the bass is the biggest problem. The level that it's at, is way too high and a lot of attention is drawn towards it.
well that's all I can think of, but hey it's your song mix it how you want haha. xD anyways the piano melody I loved just got repetitive cos of it's consistency
good so far though.

ShadowsOfLight responds:

Thanks :) I'll make a new version! Not really aproducer really, more of the guy that promotes!

[DJ XeMeX - Mr. Tokyo]

gross beat?

gotta love that thing makes things so much easier xD

CAK3MAT3 responds:

word lol ^^

[KgZ- Your Night is My Night]

Nice

reminds me of daft punk xD

KgZ responds:

damn right it does

needs more robot rock though

[|ZiNiTY| hardstyle track]

cool

I like the nintendo sound and it's melody. I think you could make this song more epic with build ups though. oh and I subscribed your youtube channel.

If you have time check out some my more recent submissions.

Zinitymusic responds:

thanks!:)

[Acid Dream]

pretty cool

It's not really that repetitive till the ending, but repetitiveness is key in trance/techno. Also there's a lot going on in the song. Mashed up you could say but I assume that's what you were going for.
Anyways nice tune and if you could check out my new submission that'd be great.

[Faron Woods (Acoustic Cover)]

LOZ

I've beat that game like 10 times by now xP
Anyways, nice cover. Only thing I would say is that it needs a tad bit work with volume level adjustments. Otherwise this was great.
9/10 - 5/5
oh and if you don't mind, would you check out my new submission here

Hound-Of-Winter responds:

You're right about the volume bit. I've always sucked at mastering and feel like I need help once I've gotten the writing & recording for a song done. Thanks for the review, mate.
