[-Dark dreams-]

Excellent!

I'm a tough critic, I know, but I wish more NG Drum N Bass would get it right. This track here...you got it right. This is an awe-inspiring, dreamy, orchestrated DnB track, structured well, layered well, the sample choice is excellent. You sir, kick ass.

Waterflame responds:

haha, thanks!! :D One of the genres im really trying to become good as is infact DnB, but i do try to mix it in with orcestrall aswell. I really tink electronica and orcestral belong together on so many levels :D

[The Savage{Mutation 3rd Stage}]

It's very well put together

...however, I'm afraid the concept has been done already by Pendulum on their track "Masochist". Starts with a dramatic bongo-piano march overlaid with an announcer voice talking about what can be amounted to being afraid while on safari, when all of a sudden, yep...lion/beast roar and the song begins.

Your strong points are production skill, however, this sounded very clear and the EQ was right where it needed to be. All the elements where clear and bright, 3-dimensional.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, but a more original concept it needed.

AphelionX responds:

ok i just check what the track sounded like and um...just the intro sounded alike...only a few elements sounded the same..like the roar..actually thats the only thing that sounded the same...so i dont know why your trippin

pendulum is preety sweet though thanx for intro ducin me to pendulum

[Elektric Irish Jig]

Not a bad concept

...Although this has "Subtractor presets" written all over it, but that's OK. Decent effort, good idea. Work on smoothing the rough edges, but this is alright.

vSmashv responds:

Thank ya much, was a old on I had on my HD, think it was one of my first,

I use a lot of vsts but have no idea what subtractor is, atm I only use vanguard, kontakt, juno, and absynth.

Back then I only used sytrus

[Epitome - Sunset Boulevard]

Who could give this low marks?

I don't understand why I had to get a message for this track saying "...raising it's score from a 2.50 to a 3.00!"

It should have been 4+ when I found it.

Amazing mix of jazz elements and tech-style synth lines, the timing was well, the mix was clear, very stylistic and pleasing. It's the sound of high rollers fo sho ;-)

Epitome responds:

Thank you.

[{Rose}]

Not very trancey

This is much more like Freeform. Excelent clarity, tho.

cornandbeans responds:

:D thanks. I just responded to the pm you sent me.

[TYPICAL TECHNO]

Very nice

Who did you sample from? DJ Scot Project? (I've never heard of DJ Scott) Also, did you just sample the lead line?

Also, this isn't techno, it's trance, there is a difference (just to nitpick)

dxstructive responds:

one of my matez sent me diz song n yea it just said "by DJ Scott" den I just edited it a lil n takin out only one part...
n dude yea ur correct it iz trance but I don't really give a damn bout classifying songz..
