whew

lol, D-Chain actually is a real life friend on mine xD
Hi there.

Anyway, in my opinion I do like the bass. But only at the start though.
Later in the song the pads do not fit the bass and vice versa.
You might want to lower the filter of the bass there so that you can only focus on the pads. I love the volume and the power of your percusion, that is something great. Yet another remark is how you filter the pads in.
Its not the good way. You should filter the pads in without the bass somehow.
Cause again, these two just don't fit together.

keep going man ^^,
you are progressing just fine with songs like this.

Absolix responds:

Thanks for the review Endeavour! I'll be sure to review some of your tunes as well :)

I do plan on swapping out the preset sounds (ex: bass/pads) with sounds that I made. Hopefully I can create sounds that dont collide as badly, because I agree, the bass sticks out like a sore thumb XD.

Thanks again

D-Chain responds:

perhaps..
im sorry to dissapoint.
the inspiration i need for this has been lost so..
maybe after a long time ill be submitting stuff like this once again.

Yay

Another song that deserves just the same review as the one i dropped at another song from you xD. This one just sounds a bit scarier though. Along with that video it even sounds creepy and disturbing. Quite well done. It works ^^

take care,
Endeavour

Cebster responds:

Well thanks! Yeah i can't say I have ever made anything quite like this. Hahah yeah that videos crazy! Well thanks for dropping me a review, I super appreciate it.

Okay, I lol'd xD
Everything is offbeat and it sounds semi-professional,
But the song has something (entertaining) in it which is quite unique in a song.
It sounds so innocent yet sweet.

Just like Daedra I have don't have a slightest idea how I like this. But I find it awesome xD, very good job. 5/5 from me.

greets,
Endeavour

Cebster responds:

Haha yeah i was debating about uploading this. I realized I had to cause this is me, Crazy and offbeat! Haha I was never expecting top charts but I'm super happy people seem to get some sort of enjoyment of it. Well thanks for the thoughtful review, I really appreciate it.

Hey There

I find it very amazing =D.
Its progressive Hard Trance !
I noticed a couple of things that you could change to improve even more.
Straight from the beginning you let a sequence of pads play along with your melody. The problem is that you gave these pads EXACTLY the same notes as your main melody. The pads are too reeverbed for that. You should note these pads just like you would note a bass.
Giving a pad too much notes results in slight confusions by the listener =P.
I hope you understood me properly there.
Sorry for my bad english.

I also liked these small pitch changes troughout the song.
Yes you are promising indeed !.
The melodies are very nice and well supported.
We could expect great things from you on newgrouds in the near future ^^.

greetings,
Endeavour.

P.S would you like to vote and review my latest song (W.i.P).
It is called "End - Beyond Eternity".

thanks in advance.

Darkfire96 responds:

Lol sure. Ill see if i can do that. And yes i can see your new song. Ill be happy to.
I see what you mean by too many notes, so ill fix that and reupload soon. But im pretty busy so it will have to be in a week or two. Thanks for the review!
EDIT 1/25
I fixed the pads, as requested.
/-DJ Chaos-\

AT LAST =D

Your hard work hasn't been for nothing, just as I said, once you will break thru newgrounds. Good job man, this is it. With every song you will submit now your fame will multiply. And to be honest, this is one hell of a great track you made there.

Theres nothing bad to say about this song either, its perfect !.
Long, comfortable, enjoyable and a good variation.

This is it man =).

Greets,
Endeavour.

P.S it would be an honour to make a collab now xD

D-Chain responds:

yes... and to be honest, i didnt tought this would be IT.. the one breaking through NG.

i just woke up one day and it REALLY amazed me when i took a look at the responses, votes and listens...
it feels pretty damn good :D

PS: it would be my honour to collab with you mate.
ill hook you up on msn when im ready.

wow =O

It sounds so.. so.. EPIC 0_o.
A really really great videogame song.
I was totally amazed at the choir in the beginning.

I am already searching for months to vocal pads like that.
Could you please tell me where to find these ??.

Lovely song !,
Keep going,
endeavour

ChaosDragon004 responds:

Oh, just download DSK Instruments, really good choirs. I love them alot. Hope that helps and thanks for the review.

Nice !

First time I hear a hard melody from you =P,
Most of your other songs are deep and trancy.
But this one just blasts of energy.

I also noticed a considerable change in quality.
Before the kick with the (btw amazing) bass in it the quality was like a videogame.
Not something bad though, just something I noticed.

Yes the melody was extremely cool. Thought my PC crashed at 00:28 though lol.
When you place a sound very short after each other, the volume increases for that time. You might want to lower the volume at that moment a little.

At 00:22 a violin pad comes in. But I disagree with your choise =P.
It doesn't really cope with the other instruments.
If I were you I would go for a warm multi layered trance pad to go with it.
You might to try that out.

Overall this song rocks !!, it makes you dance !!
Very fast paced, luf it <3

Grts,
Endeavour

D-Chain responds:

lawl thanks :)

not the very very first time i made one..
its still not really my kind of trancy style to go with
and pops out once in a while and thats basically it..

i would call it a 'lagg of the deeper trance inspiration' ;)
__
any how, yet it could be the videogame thingy or just the qeird quality.. i shall look into it one of these days sooner or later and MAYBE fix it..
but as i said: it could also be my stupid converter -.-

yet i agree with your opinion about the volume at certain points, i might lower it.

and a do not really care about your disagree about the violin (A) if you dont mind tho...
i wanna use violins more often, try to make something beautyfull with it some day :)
which means: i need to 'practice' with the sound [sort of]

a warm multilayerd pad would be in its place indeed. maybe i might try to change it too.

and thanks for the compliments :) i really ippreciate your agree/disagree 's.

thanks ;)

much better

You two are with distance the most "rotating" music producers ever.
You make songs that are very bad, but also songs that are very good.
Never seen such a contrast before lol.

This is much better mastered and contains more obvious progression.
Kudo's for this one 0_O.

You might've done something more about the ending though, thats why it is not a 10.

Cuzone responds:

Thank you very much! Too lazy to give this a proper ending though. lol And besides Shooting Zeros (which I'm sure you are referring to when you say we make bad music), what other "very bad" songs have you heard by us?

unbelievable

How did this ever get into the top 5 ?.
It is not even near a good, well mastered song.
It seems like you haven't mastered this song at all.
The main "lead" (barely worth a lead but ok) is WAY to high pitched.
Even for "fierce game developers" (who probably would vomit at imagining this "song" in one of their games).

Then you have made an arpish synth to support the lead.
It barely contributes to the song and the sample is nearly as ugly as your lead choise.

Then you have made some percussion.
This is not bad, not good, just decent.
It could have been better if you did not terribly mess it up with bad mastering.
You should let the filter come up a bit higher.

And this practically goes on the entire 2 minutes and 19 seconds.
No single variation in sounds exept for some minor (ugly) changes in an attempt to make a melody which you miserabely failed at.
Also a loop is not that long eh ?, this is more of a song than a loop.

There were a lot of percussion changes though, so i would rather call this drum & bass. No idea what your previous genre was.

in short :
--
I don't get why this song is on the top 5.
It does not even deserve a place near it.
Also, 4200 listeners and 449 downloads, im shocked 0_o.
You either have a lot of friends and a big family or you have a huge fanclub with disfunctioned minds and a very very bad taste of music.

You dedicated this to a friend you say.
Well, im sorry, but I would become even more sad if someone dedicated a song like this to me.

Sorry for this very harsh review, but most of it is fact based =).
I hope you become better quickly and learn how to master properly.
Bests of luck to you and your friend.
Take care,
Endeavour.

Lots of my best mixed songs, full of changes and variations don't even get 10 downloads and 1 favorite. thats what puzzle me.
You see, I agree with each and every point you made here. Its a quick made song, mixed to have the loudest lead as possible, with almost no variation and an arp BG that is basically following the main melody.
A friend of mine (Rabone) asked me to post this here telling me he liked it, and Timraband said he enjoyed it too.

And there it was. I knew the song would be zeroed a lot, thats why the title. But at the same time, I felt that it would be dear to some people, as it actually is, with the favorites, and some good scores/reviews.

Now, don't get me wrong. I agree with each and every point you made. But I can't ignore that, while the song isn't POPULAR, its special for the people who liked it.

Thanks for your indepth review. its great to see these here on NG.

My name's Endeavour. I love to make music, so that is what i do here ^^). When i review a Flash Submission, (which is very uncommon for me), I will give some powerfull but righteous criticm =) thats why i have dark aura. Happy listening mates =)
