(Inserting smart ass summary) !

When i saw the name i though of starcraft instantly.Its a pretty nice loop overall (no need to mention the mastering issues again).The snares sound pretty nice.Bassline sick as usual, but i think there's too much resonance on your modulating filter (its a BP as far as i can hear).Also your kick sound a bit too low on the Hz.Consider low cutting it a bit and adding a sub bass maybe.Other than that i have no complains.Keep up the great work !

10/10 5/5 :)

SteakJohnson responds:

Hah, starcraft was my fav game for like 5 years, (still is kinda just dont play it that much anymore). Thanks for the review, theres actually like 5 filters on the bassline lol, but it definitely needs improvement.

No need to argue.

It clearly is not dubstep.Its breakbeat and i quite like it :).
I'd suggest not bringing the snare at its max volume right from the start.
The kick is pretty nice, but i think it would be better if its a bit shorter.
Really liking your choice for a sub bass.It fits the track perfectly.
Good job with the mastering its really nice.Can't think of anything else, cause i'm a bit tired.Hope i was of some use to you.Keep up the good work !

RmxProject responds:

now you say breakbeat, i actually agree with that :P
yeah i would agree with you by saying it needs to be shorter..
yeah the snare is a tad loud at the start, i think its because i didnt limit the snare volume (because i used a limiter so no distortion is caused with the kick and bass)
i actually realy thank you with this comment, its helped me with making this better :)

cheers mate

As many have said before me.

The only thing holding you down is the mastering.Its a shame to have such a talent and no proper gear.I'm just hoping you get some hardware soon and show us all what you got ;).The bass synths are sick as usual and the drums are flowing pretty nice.
I'm not sure about that reverbed synth in the start of the loop though.Doesn't seem to fit the song.Well that was it from me.I'm hoping to hear some well mastered stuff from you in the near future, cause i'm sure it will be 10 times sicker.Keep up the good work bro !

PS.Check out my latest neurofunk track if you have some time.Cheers !

SteakJohnson responds:

Hey thanks man Ill be sure and check out your latest :), and yeah hopefully this summer Ill be able to buy a music comp and monitors. I agree about the little reverby arp. im planning to actually finish this one!

Quite a nice loop.

The drums are really good.But i think the kick might interact with your sub.
Its sounds a bit too low (as in Hz).This could turn into quite a nice darkstep tune imo.So far the FX and strings sound really good.A simple reese would fit the track pretty well.Giving it a second thought some more subs could do the trick too.
I think you should consider giving a try at this song.

10/10 5/5 :)

PS.If you are into neurofunk check out my latest track please.

Hey man, thanks for reviewing!

I'm too tired to review your track now, but I took a quick listen to it and I liked what I heard haha. I'll go more in depth on it tomorrow. ;)

Very calming and soothing.

First of all i'd like to say i'm new to ambient (as in production) but recently i've tried making a track.So don't expect an indept review.I'm just wondering why are your tracks so underrated?They are quite nice in both composition and mastering.
Enough with that lets get with the review.
The pads are very nice but i think you could low cut them and use a sub bass instead of their low frequencies.Have to agree with VNStudios about the bells.
But don't dont lower them too much, just a tiny bit.Also pump up the volume on the hats (or are these shakers?).They seem way too back in the background.
The last thing i have to say is that your ending fade is a bit too long (atleast for me).
Very nice track all and all.Don't know how its so low rated.I hope i was of some use to you.Cheers and keep making music !

There are people who just don't like me, so they find my work and nuke the zero bomb. I don't have enough fans to counter that. Still, I make music because I like music. I'm not really into fame and fortune. I just share my work to everyone.

I'll post a revised version later. -KN

As harsh as i can get.

YOU SUCK AND DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE !

OK now lets get with the real review :)
Quite an impressive intro (seeing that you produce alot of ambient that's natural).
I like the IDM feel of the hats.I suggest that the break hits at 0:44 instead of the small pause you make.It would flow better with the increase of the volume of the hats.The panning of the percussion is nice too.Maybe lower the resonance on the filtered part of the drums though.Its a bit too much.I'd suggest variating the bass at 1:35 so it feel kinda like a drop (quite an important part in every dnb track), also adding a reversed and reverbed crash or a kick would be nice.
The bass that hits at 2:19 feels like that is where your intro needs to stop and the buildup it the drop to begin.The arp that follows in the background sounds like its missing something imo.Maybe some filter more prominent filter sweeps would sound nice.Also your kick seems to a bit a bit drown out in the second main part.Maybe the bass needs some EQ in the low end.Otherwise the drums are great for the general feeling of the track.The hats seem a tad too loud in the main parts though.Consider lowering them just a bit (probably -1dB from where they are now).The ambiance of the track is perfect and i congratulate you for that.Personally i like alot harder basses and tracks overall but i think you created quite a relaxing tune and it is very nice.Big up and keep making music !

I'll do a better job after exams. -KN

Pretty nice.

Really nice atmosphere.
I like the vocal sample alot.You did well with limited samples.
Only complain is that it gets a bit repetitive.Other than that i like it alot.
Has a nice ambient feel to it.I don't know what to suggest knowing that you've only got a couple of dozen of samples.The ambiance of the track is great.Just work on the variation of the bass.Maybe add some parts with the bassline being filtered.Maybe some HP filter sweeps would be nice.Also would suggest processing your bass into a sine wave sounding sub and resampling it.Maybe some LP filter and a wave shaper could do the effect.Another suggestion is using the synth you introduced in the begging with a higher reverb and a delay once in a while (maybe each 16 bars...don't know really).Guess there aren't alot of drum and percussion samples available but try adding more if its possible.Since the bass is simple (but nice) try creating more flowing drums.
That's all i can suggest.I hope i was of some use.Keep up the good work.

9/10 5/5 :)

Reignee responds:

i might still work on it later, but i already submitted my entry. i thought of the lowpass, hardly gave any change, but didn't think about the highpass, i'll probably test it one of these days. Tough thing about the bass is that I can't change it in note (due to the sample ^^) so the variation is pretty limited...

but hey, thanks man ;)

Damn solid !!!

Very borgorish if i may say.Really sick bass synths.You've come a long way in a few moths.Im liking the punchy drums.The snare is really nice and snappy.I'd suggest adding a reverbed clap with it to give it a more spacey feel.No complains at all on the wobbles.The intro is very pleasant and the drop just owns.I think this track is perfect it just need some more background FX and maybe a few pads.
Great job man.Keep it up !

PS.Check out my latest track called Voices if you have some time.Thanks in advance.

Good mastering finaly !!!

Haven't heard a track this well mastered in a while.Big up for that.
The kick is nice and punchy and the snare is perfectly reverbed (not too much or too little as many tend to do).The percs are really nice too.I like the variation in the drums.The wobble is awesome too.Has a very wet sounding.Don't know if i have any complains.Great job man.Keep it up !

10/10 5/5 :)

PS.I also produce dubstep so check out my track if you like.
PS2.And i HATE the new interface too hahhaahahaha so i stick with FL 8.

Made me laugh when i heard it.

Love the "vocals".After the 3-rd time i heard them i bursted into laugh.
Don't know why really but it kept me listening just because of the "vocals"
Id suggest using them as a drop and playing with the pitch (maybe lowering it) when they play the last time.You did really good with the drums (hearing some IDM infuences).The bass is a bit weak though.You should raise the volume a bit and maybe EQ it.On the other hand your second bass melody has nothing to do with the rest of the track and the synth you introduced in the intro.Overall a good job.Just need some tweaking.
Keep it up !
8/10 5/5 :)
