[{ANT} - Heavy Weapons]

much better

I can instantly say the sound quality has sky rocketted from your latest batch of songs. Classic bassline, hard beat, and that choir was cool too. This is the Anth0n that I remember. When your filtering the percussion or whatever, make sure you don't have the resonance too high. It can get a bit shrill. I'm gonna favourite this badboy.

Anth0n responds:

Glad to know that I'm getting better! Although it's disappointing to realize that I used to be better and then got worse for awhile (hopefully until now). But I'll try my best to continue improving.

[Chaoz Impact-[Anima Mix]-]

nice effort

It seems you mimicked the lead nicely, along with the melodys and basic structure of the song. What it doesn't have is a clear enough bass to drive the song. I personally think you had a bit too much clutter. I suggest start turning things down in your mix, mainly the hi hats. Balance the volume levels, perhaps sidechain if you have to... till you can clearly hear each individual instrument clearly.

I'm hearing an awful lot of mid to low range, and not much treble. Mainly because your bass is drowning your main melody out. To sum it all up, I would just suggest taking things out, compressing things, till its not so muddy.

You did a very good job on this remix. You had some nice transitions, and your bass sounded pretty tight when it had its solo. Your percussion was good, however your kick was louder then your snare, and your open hi hat was a bit loud too.
Just writing what I noticed upon listening, hope some of it was helpful, and congrats on a job well done.

Anima-Theory responds:

Yeah, I thought the snare was a little quiet, but the compressor kept making it quiet and it sounded poo when I took it off. So i thought "to hell with it" :P

Thanks for the review man,

Quite helpful indeed :D

intro

I gotta say that intro has gotta be one of the tightest things ive heard. I listen to it over and over, and it never gets old. The rest of the song isn't quite as good, but im extremely picky XD

Michael425 responds:

First off, I have to say I'm a huge fan of your work man.

haha it's and honor to get a review from you.

I will try to make more songs with catchy intros, and hopefully catchy tunes.

Thanks for listening man.

[-Ahren- First Song]

nice

Nice drum variation... not my style tho. I think you need a bit more punch, but the ambient and melodys make a nice touch. Keep working on it.

DrumTranceBreakBeat responds:

thanks man. like i said its my first song and the only version i made of it. kind of a test project

[LO - Velocity]

nice man

I liked the beat. The kick was nice and bouncy, the hi hats didn't stand out too much, and the bass blended in nicely. The claps got kind of annoying after a while, and some of your melodys didn't fit together... but you used some nice sounds, and the sound quality was considerably good. The melody around the 2 and a half mark sounds alot like bowsers theme :P Anywho, my suggestion is just work on the melodys a bit

Oakwood responds:

Thanks, glad you liked it :)

[{dj-N} Halloween FX Tribute]

nice man

I like this alot, you did a good job on the mastering. I like the kick, but a few too many in certain spots (especially with that much sidechaining). Its lacking some highs, but your reese is nice n gritty, which more then makes up for that.
I'm not particularly fond of my halloween song, but this tribute is sick and you did a good job on it :)

dj-Nate responds:

Thanks man! Did an update. Not as many kicks thrown around.

[AlSarci - BreakFreak v3?]

pretty cool

Being a big dubstep fan, I gotta say I love that bassline. Not a big fan of breakbeat tho, I think the drums need some work. I'm just starting to make dubstep now, haven't quite got the wobble figured out yet tho :( added you to favourites, fived, 10ed//

AlSarci responds:

yeah im just working on getting the drums in my tracks 'fatter'.

Thanks for the votes/comment ^_^

[(E-E) Locked Submission]

shwing!

hmm k. I gotta say that acid bassline at the beginning is real sick. I think you need better drum samples (hit me up, I can help with that). I also think if you want to please the listeners, you need to lessen the amount of effects (filter cut off n shit). I would agree with the review below me that the silence didnt quite work.
This song is just for fun tho, so I would say good job on it... I'm sure somebody could use it for a flash. Like a cutscene where the badguys are taunting the good guys LOL.

9/10 and 5/5

Everlasting-Elements responds:

Shit man, thank you very much.
I can't wait for new packs, man. Thanks a shit ton!

[[V] - Furial]

happy new years

Pretty good man. The reese was nice. I found the chord progression slightly strange in places, but it all seemed to stick together nicely, so even tho it was changing it still had similarities =)
The breaks were good. I found the kick kind of blended in with the lows a little too much, a more present kick would of been nice. Listening on speakers, the kick sounds fine. The only thing I can suggest, climax and breakdown. But I liked how you brought the high pitched synth melody in again. Very good song structure

10/10 and 5/5

Marks-a-lot responds:

I don't really have good sound equipment so I didn't pick up on that at first. good to hear those headphones are working out for you. I tried working on the structure of my song for once with this one.

thx for the review

[We Believe Ep.4 - F-777]

weeeee

Thats pretty sick man. I found the guitar a little harsh, but all the other sounds blended together, and it had a sweet melody. The breakdown sounded sick, then it comes back to the same verse again. Hmmm... even tho that was 3 minutes long it seemed to go by so fast. My favourite part was 1:40 when that synth came in, and it built up. Fived, 10ed.

F-777 responds:

Haha thanks man =).
Your stuff owns.
