Very military parade.
Right away this sounds very military. The machine gun sfx was a great touch. Though this track uses some very basic and recognizable samples it is well made. The melodies arent bad and the pace makes it pleasing to listen to. Honestly im loving the flavor.
Try some different samples that dont sound so off the shelf. A lot of the more electronic samples sound really similar and they are heard in hundreds of songs.
Good work... keep them coming.
Whoa.
On the technical side... your volumes and levels are way too high. This is a very loud and harsh piece. Right away I like the melody but im sure ive heard it somewhere before. This track would sound right at home in a club setting if its rough edges were toned down and the deep bass were made more central. The guitar that comes in toward the middle has a great effect. This song is distinctly dnb with great guitar flavor. My main gripes are pretty much about the mastering.
Not bad work... keep it up.
I totally agree with you. I don't think this was master compressed or anything. The volumes are fucked. Honestly, this was somthing I put together fairly quickly and was going to discard until I thought, hmmm, newgrounds eh? It was kinda like a test submission which I would rather take down because I dont like shit floating around unfinished with my name on it. yea, Obviously it needs a deep, more protruding bassline.. meh, like I said.. it was a slap together but I can't seem to be able to take it down now. Thanks a lot for taking the time to review and explain your rating anyways. whats with the fucks that give me a 0 and move right on... bah, sorry to vent on you :P
A very classic feel.
My only problems with this one... the first beat seems to come in at the wrong time... off rythm with the melody. I also think you might have gone a bit overboard with the phasing of the melody from channel to channel... it seems to stick to the right channel for a good portion of the track and really slowly fade to the center. Aside from these finer points the track is pretty badass. I like the beats alot, though I would have liked to hear some variations in them. The ambient melody is very simple and nice though maybe a bit too crisp. I enjoyed the e-bass melodies. Everything seems to tie together for quite a pleasing piece of classic dnb. Good work.
Awws Thanks man!(=D) Thanks for the Viewtiful reviews that you typed for me man! See the thing that I admire about you is that you give good ass reviews man! True this was a very simple melody but these were just loops i used and the next song i use will be my true one! But well dud thanks ALOT for this V ass review!
Keep it V man!

Ravey.
This borders on full blown trance. Its a good sounding track and would definitely sound good in a club setting. Only problems I have with this one would be its almost "generic" ravey sound... mostly in the area of the samples used. It might be a bit long winded... but then again this genre does that a lot. Nice work all around. A few parts remind me of a tune from the mortal kombat film.
Thanks for the review... but why such a low part on the diversity?
I took riffs that i could have easily made 3 songs from, but i stuck them in here instead.
Well done.
The samples might be a bit basic... but the melody goes great with the funky beat. That beat is the heart of the track in my opinion. The mix of piano, strings, and the killer beat... its a winner. Good job.
Reminds me of a music style you might hear in the first matrix film.
Hmm
This would be good for a companies intro logo or something... possibly an opener for a webpage.
seriously? i thought it rly sucked but hey, i gues it does a little...
Harsh.
The constant bass is really loud and gets annoying as the track goes on. The melody is repetitive and the beat is rather simple. This definitly needs work... leveling, beats, and melody.
Again the bass... if you use high end headphones like I do... your ears will hurt listening to this one.
Reminds me of old school pc games like doom.
Too basic with not much melody.
The main problem with this track is the simplicity of the drums. Anyone can tell they are just sort of off the shelf. Your use of them isnt that bad... maybe repetitive. It needs some stand out melody... something to contrast the drums and get a flow going.
Id recommend practicing with different drum samples and getting some melody loops down. Maybe try a slower bpm as well.
Its a good start. Distictly jungle.
Note: Dont listen to people like Evoluti9nx3, unconstructive critisism gets people nowhere.
Kick ass drums indeed.
The best part by far is the beat. Classicly drum n bass. And being this type of drum n bass... the tracks harshness is forgivable. Good use of beat variation and switching up the different elements of the melody.
My only gripe is the sudden fade out. Didnt expect it.
Meh. I didn't exactly add to API's song and I didn't want to drag it on, you know? If you really want to keep on listening, I always say, turn on your 'repeat' feature. XD
An ok dnb remix.
First of all the melodys timing is off which causes friction with the beat. The first beat is a little harsh and off the shelf. You used the amen break well enough for the second half.
I would recommend giving the melody some effects so it can stand out a little better. The drum just needs equalized... it sounds grungy like the amen break does initially. The sound bite bugs me. It has no effect and you can hear a small part of the movies soundtrack with it.
This isnt a bad track... I just like to critique things... a lot.
and i have muchos respect for anyone who actually reviews like this.
I hope that you will review some of my new tracks that I will be uploaded over the next few days as I can only upload 2 a day but its alot better than this older stuff.. the best one i will upload is called EAT THIS, so i hope you can review that one. Thanks for your time
I make breakbeat/drum n bass style music using Fruityloops, Cool Edit, mostly free or custom made samples, and my inability to focus on anything else. I believe in detailed constructive critisism. Advice is infinitly more useful than praise or scorn.
