Sounds good

Great flow. I can totally see this in a 2d platform game of sorts. Make it longer!

AshleyAlyse responds:

Sweet! Thank you so much! :D I really appreciate your review. :) I will make it longer! I'm just a little bored with it at the moment, haha. I'll finish it when I feel like it. :)

This piece............

Has inspired me to enter the sample competition myself. It'll be done by the deadline. Super funky, catchy, and had my head bobbing throughout. Great job!

It's awesome that I inspired you to submit your own track. Thanks for the feedback.

Underappreciated Artist

You are too underappreciated! Great job with your music, keep it up and stay compassionate about your work. I enjoyed this piece very much. Fav'd, DL'd and voted 5/5

vibe-newgrounds responds:

Glad you liked it. :)

Set's the mood

Great job here, really set the mood. No Face is also my favorite character from Spirited Away. Very chillax song. Keep up the work.

JackRocker responds:

Thanks a lot man. Glad we agree, and glad you like the beat!

Great job dude!

Keep up the work. This one is going straight to my MP3 player as well. I hope you are able to get signed to a label or something.

Fav'd, DL'd, 5/5, 10/10

EOT responds:

I am absolutely ready, but have never been asked to get signed... :(

EOT responds:

hehe :D

Thanks man! :)

DUDE!!!!!!

How's it going man? It's been a long time, I've been craving new EssenceOfTrance songs for a long time now, you are seriously the master at producing trance music, I have yet to come across an artist that has much inspirational trance as you do.

I still listen to 2nd Storm, Laws of Gravity, and Sunny Winter all the time on my MP3 player. I like to listen to them while I'm half asleep on the bus on my way home from college, they truly do put me into a 'trance' so to speak. After listening to this song, I'm definitely adding it to my MP3 collection and it's going straight to my MP3 player. It's really nice to hear from you again!

Fav'd, DL'd, 5/5, 10/10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS. Any chance if I can get a copy of the FLP file? (If you say no it's ok, I have a lot of respect for you)

EOT responds:

Hi :)

Yeah, long time, no seen :)
It's going great(since I just made new songs :) )

It's really nice to hear that you like my songs that much!

I'm sorry, but I don't give out the FLP. Not that I trust you, but it's more the principle.

Thank you!

Sincerely
-EOT

Hmmmmm

The backround synths are ok and the drumline needs more variation. The lead synth is probably the closest thing to hearing someone scratch a chalkboard with long nails, you should definitely replace it to something easier on the ears.

As for the melody, not to brag but I honestly could have made something better by thinking up notes and instruments on the spot. It needs major improvement.
If no one can remember the melody 30 seconds after they listen to it, it's no bueno. The notes are kinda randomly placed.

It needs to undergo a major mixing and mastering process as well, there are only 3 instruments the entire time, you should be using at least 7 for the entire song. There are also no real fill ins or transitions.

I'm not gonna say you suck or that this doesn't deserve top 5, because the top 5 here on newgrounds has pretty much gone down the crapper. I will try to help you improve though. Just keep making music, keep learning and experimenting, but if you recognize that what you are making is crap, chuck it : /

Cuzone responds:

Hey Tilky, thanks for your in-depth review and your words.

The funny thing about this song is that me and my buddy timraband (we share this account) we have 100 songs published here on NG. All styles, some with more than 20 instruments, some with less. Techno, Orchestral, Pop... Anything goes... Some with days of tweaking, mixing, editing.

But from all these songs, the one that ended up being featured is this one. And people are still downloading and favoriting it. To every low-score review, there is an favorite and 10 downloads.

If I could, I would had choosen another song to be featured... Sin Tea and Bitting Booty by me are way better technos, and I would love if you could check'em out and give your input.

But, this one is the one that ended up in the top-5, why? I honestly don't know.

So, your points are great, and if you look at other tracks by me, you'll see that I follow them on most of my songs... But, isn't it strange that the repetitive one is featured?

It makes me wonder, you know?
Its not that i'm deaf to the criticisms, I really take them all to heart and agree with most of them. But if some people liked it enough to it be featured (the downloads and favorites just keep going up).
I let this one go.

But, if you can, check my other songs!
I'm sure you'll enjoy more.

Best I've heard

This is the best I've ever heard on Newgrounds, and I'm not just saying that. Do you mind me asking what software you used for this? Also the panflute! Where did you get that panflute? Sounds so cool!

Fav'd, DL'd 5/5 10/10

ErikMcClure responds:

FL studio 9.1, z3ta+, ogun, panflute and other instruments all from the free SGM V2.01 soundfont (google it), plus a shitload of drum samples.

Loved it.

I thought that D&B section was the best part of the song....... Definitely keep it! :D

You need to teach me how to master your tracks like that >.< Im such an idiot when it comes to mastering and putting effects into tracks. I'm so mad that I don't know how to do it.

Where did you learn how to master and where did you get your samples from?

Do you know of some good tutorials on the internet at all?

I'd appreciate it greatly if you could reply to this :)
