[I Gotta Feeling, Just Relax v1]

Pretty Good.

I like the addition of the low part in the beginning. The chords were off in one part though? (Just after 1:00) It isn't extremely repetitive, which is good, but I think that stems from the fact that it is not even two minutes long. Also, it was significantly more 'relaxing' than the original, although the guitar stabs at the beginning should have been modified if that was the main goal, as they sort of create a pumping effect.

Good effort though, I quite like it.

7/10
4/5

PS, are we allowed to post songs here with samples from original songs, I'm not entirely sure :P

Hi thanks for the review! The chords seemed ok to me (just very 'paddy').

p.s: This song is alright. They actually had a remix contest for this one at some point!

[[TC] One Last Time (demo)]

1337 Skillz!

Wow that song is great. The piano sounds great, and the eqing on it really adds. Also, I like the filter play with the drums in the buildup. This is the first time I've started on a remix before the original is even done lol :P.

11/10 5/5 Can't wait to here the finished product.

[Kazmo - Aspiration [Demo]]

Great

I love this style of trance, much better than that overexcited too melodic stuff. The delay on that piano was very good too. And obviously, it should be longer, but yeah it is a demo. I agree about the chord progression too, its great.

One comment is that there maybe should have been a bit more of those ambient sounds, they really add to it. Also, the piano is EQd well, but the high ends are a little bit too high.

It is mastered EXTREMELY well for a demo, kudos to you for that.

What app do you use for your music, because this sort of sounds like Reason, so I was just wondering (I use Logic).

Overall, it's a great song with a lot of potential. Look forward to hearing the finished version.

Kazmo responds:

Hey thanks for the review! :D

I used FL8 for this, I have FL9 now. Luckily I have both installed so I'm quite flexible :P

[B0UNC3 - Crying soul]

Awesome song.

Song is great. I pretty much only wrote this to say:
This is originally B0UNC3's, DJ Splash remade it. I actually prefer this version though.

[[SP] ~ Beautiful Universe]

Cool

The chord progression is pretty good, and I like the compression sidechaining (although overdone a *bit* at points). And at a certain point the melody gets a bit repetitive (even for prog-trance). It may have been better to add another, or modify the original somewhat. And, obviously, it sounded really compressed (needed for NGs stupid file size limit).

All criticism aside, I like the song.

[[SP] ~ Satellite (OceanLabRmx)]

Awesome!

Nice I love this style of trance (Above & Beyond, Armin van Buuren etc). This even rivals some of their work! This is an EPIC remix.

It could use a *little* bit less bass, because even on my flat monitors it still sounded REALLY bassy. Not that its necessarily a bad thing, but it sort of overpowers the rest of the song. Maybe should also have added a bit more of your own stuff though, but besides that its great.

Did you find the acapella for this song, or make it? Because if you made it then it is amazing.

PS check out my newest song.

Blizzaine responds:

I got the acapella online.

Thanks for the review!!!

[RoboRotik]

Yeah Daft Punk!

Daft Punk ftw!!

Anyways I like the song. That guitar sounds pretty cool. The main thing I didn't like is the drum (mainly bass drum). I found it lacked a lot of punch for a song like this. What I did also like was the transitions; they seemed pretty smooth.

AKACCMIOF responds:

Thanks! Feed back is ALWAYS useful: I've been oohing and aahing and I reckon I'll have to take the time out to use some of the computers at school to use a better drum kit synth.

Anyway, thanks!

Love and peace!

[Exotec - Crystal Skies]

Cool

I like that melody in the middle, sounds pretty cool. I also love the chord progression ( practically eargasmic). The transitions are nice too.

Anyways, mind if I remix this? I think I could make a pretty cool progressive trance song out of this. I'll also send you a pm.

5/5 10/10

<TeK>

Exotec responds:

thank you, and sure, you can make a remix, but make sure to tell me when you're finished, so i can check it out :)

[Trance it Up]

Pretty good.

Wow if F-777 loves it, it must be good XD.

I didn't really like the piano or how all the melody is in the left channel (made me think my 100$ AT monitors were broken XD). Its also really short too.

The transition at :30 to :45 could be better (seemed a bit random).

But nice idea overall though.

<TeK>

[Exotec - L33t]

Cool.

Sounds so much like Basshunter's song Bass Creator. Like a lot.

Anyways it's pretty, good, but needs some more mastering on the drums. And maybe a bit more variation on the melody.
