Why...

...is this #1 on the Top 5 Weekly?

It doesn't make any sense in my honest opinion.

The playback quality is just a little better than horrible. (You've improved though, as I've heard in your latest song.)

The song itself is quite repetitive. (I don't even think this is Trance, more like a Video Game remix...)

I see people using it in their Flash Submissions ONLY because it made it to the Top 5 Weekly....sad.

*NOTE: Moltov did use a MIDI file for the main tune (he said so in the author comments), and this song is pretty much ONLY the main tune, with a bass and lead in the background, so it really isn't that amazing.

*NOTE #2: Moltov, don't tell the listener (Kr1z in this case) that "Maybe your speakers stink?" if the majority of people said that the song is full of static. Kr1z is also pretty popular here on NG, so he probably knows what he's saying.

I was being generous with the 6/10 to be honest, it was mainly the quality as well as the composition of this song that knocked the score down.

I see promise in the future, keep working at it, I know you can make your songs sound way more crisp, just give it time and practice. You should probably submit more often so that you can get more feedback on your projects.

I'm sorry if this review was a little harsh, but you must understand that there are really tough critiques out there, I being one of them, and you just have to listen to them sometimes. Good luck in future projects!

Regards,

Kazmo

Moltov responds:

Note#2 -> it was the beginning of the reviews and there wasnt a large amount of people saying it and I apologized to kr1z.

So, here I am...

...Amazed.

This actually loops very nicely, I could let it play for hours!

You know what I would say...I think. ;]

Keep up the great work Lira, you're great!! :3

Liralei responds:

Hahah, Kaz. Thanks for the review! :)

I'm astounded.

The whole song just left me in awe. It's simply one of the best psytrance songs I've heard in a long time.

My fave part is at 3:58, it just gets sooo trippy.

I have nothing to add to this, except that it's excellent!

Keep up the awesome work, I'll be keeping an eye on your stuff!!!

hopeku responds:

Haha! Comments like this makes me want to submit more!

Well, that's gonna happen!

Thanks a lot!

Pretty wicked!

I really like the bass, I know you didn't make it, but that's ok XD, it's the pattern, not the sound. :P

The chord progressions are nice, and I really like the pad in the background.

I dunno what you did rhythm wise, it almost sounds like a prefab hat loop in the background. ;]

The lead is wicked, and the melody is awesome.

It does seem to go on for a while, I won't lie. It sounded like the song was ending at 4:10.

The latter part of the song, needs some work

Overall though, this song is good, of course there is room for improvement. It doesn't need a lot, just some polishing up, and balancing in the latter part of the song. :]

Keep it up!!!

Thanks :D. Yea I know, I'm still getting better at Progressive Trance. I dunno what I'd call this one cause it's not as simple as Progressive should be...

I guess it's my own little style XD.

Make it longer!!!

Please? :3

The bass is funky, I like it.

The intro didn't really vary enough for it's length, it was quite repetitive.

When the lead comes in, I felt it could have been stronger or something, it seemed a bit hollow or empty.

I like where you're going with this demo though.

Keep up the great work!!!

JohnnyFrizz responds:

Haha no worries man, I got everything covered by now, this is just a Demo, thanks for reviewing, I really appreciate!

Greets!

"It kinda sounds the same."

Ya, a lot like the original...

If you've read the rules on NG, what you submit should be your original work.

This isn't yours, it's just the original song by DJ Dean, with you fucking it up a lot with tempo changes, filters, and beat shuffling.

It's not even the full original, you cut it from the beginning of the bridge. Lame.

A lot of 'your' other 'remixes' are a lot like this song too, unoriginal.

Sorry, I am aware what a DJ does, but this kind of stuff shouldn't even be on NG, due to the fact that you didn't even make it.

Thanks for listening.

Kazmo

YAYZ!!!

I <3 this!!!

It turned out nicely in my opinion!

People, don't rate this by the original song (oh wow it's Britney Spears) but please listen to the composition and style as well as Kerrie's singing skillz. :3

It's not done yet either, so look forward to the final version, as well as future collabs!! :D

*At some points (00:42, 00:53), you give me chills Kerrie (<3), you sound so sexy, but I do remember you saying that you think you sounded funny at those points. :P

"You say I'm crazy, you got me crazy!" xD

Keep up the great singing, hope you have something for our next collab! 8D

zomgkerrie responds:

awww <3's for Kazmo! i love working with you! i have been putting thought into our "original" collab! will aim you later today and we talkeseseses about it! hahaha, i did feel a little silly "sing-speaking" at :42...but now that i hear it, it doesn't sound stupid...hjaha...i'm glad i gave teh kaz teh chills!

Nice Core Remix! :D

I'm gonna be easy on you, since I know you've just started using FL. :]

Everything is awesome, the sounds are nicely balanced, nothing really overpowers anything else, except perhaps the crash, but I still need to teach you about EQing I suppose.

The variety is great! The transitions could use a little work, but other than that, you have a great remix here. The use of automations are grand!

Keep up the great work Mel!!! :D

PS: Grats on Top 5 Weekly!!! <3

Phyrnna responds:

You're too nice. :P

The crash I kind of brought out that way. I kind of did want it to stick out more. Hence I kind of raised the volume on that. But I suppose I could've blended it better. :/

As far as variety, there was only so much I could do with that single melodic bit that I took from LK412. So yeah... I practically exhausted everything that I could do with that melody. Any longer and I'd think it would get boring.

Thank you very much for the support! :D

-HFX ^_^

P.S. Congrats on Top 5 Weekly and Top 30 #1 spot! :P

Awesome work.

I really enjoyed this, it had a really nice flow to it.

Is that a hat loop I hear? :P

The crash is too loud in my opinion, I told you that already though. :]

I think the build at 1:41 could have been more epic, the pause was nice, I think the crash is just too loud (stated earlier).

Maybe have a pad behind the piano or something, sounds a bit empty at this point in the song.

Wicked work man.

Keep it up,

Kazmo

heartless1298 responds:

Thanks dude! And about the crash, I did think it was kinda too loud as well, but if I turned it down, it would have lost some of it's power (no shit) but it woulda been too quiet.

Thanks for the advice. It will be used in my next song :D

Simply...

...a lot less siren, it's annoying in the background, really.

Other than that, it's wicked!

Keep it up.
