[Imminent Threat]

I really liked this. This was quite interesting. I liked the incorporation of the tech sounds and the rock. It was quite unique. I could totally see this in a video game. However...
- The mix down was decent. Could use some work there. The snare type thing was a little soft.
- Try to use a more variety of instruments. You did have many, but after the "chorus" if you will, I wanted something more. Perhaps a solo guitar or a drum solo or something. Something new and exciting.
Keep up the good work!

Like I said in my last review. You need to turn your instruments down. When the peak meter in FL Studio at the top is bright red it means your song will distort. Other than that, the composition is good. The melody is really good. Once again, fix the distortion and I'll scout you.

Okay thanks, I was really having trouble with that. didn't realize the solution was so simple aha. That helps a lot!

[Sundans - Hopeless Romantic]

Ive listened to this about a dozen times and counting. This is pretty epic. 5 stars for sure. Great mixdown.

[Call of Duty]

Melody was terrific . The mixdown was alright. Was a little confused though...as this is dance/techno...not dubstep...lol. Other than that, this was magnificent. Im only giving you 4.5 stars because there WAS some clipping.

sorry i'll fix it all later

[Ignorance Is Bliss]

A very well deserved victory. Nicely done.

[Acceleration]

The reason it distorts during export is because your instruments are too loud. In your mixer channels, turn down your volume faders. Add a Wave Candy or a Fruity DB Meter to the master channel. Then turn your channel insert volumes down till your volume peaks at about -1dB. Learn this early on and the future will be so much better. I like your arpeggio around 2:00. However, overall, the songs a bit repetitive. Fix the distortion part, and I'll scout you :) Keep practicing :D

Thanks for the tips, I really appreciate this!

[SWeissen P - Witchcraft]

Very very nice. love the progression. I think the drop could be a bit better tho. There are too many mids. If it was me, Id move the melody (just for the drop) up one octave. that would leave more room for the kick and bass.

[Cafe - Insurgency]

Thats filthy. Love it <3.

iCafe responds:

Thanks man :)

[Chaoz Fantasy (AJGT RMX)]

I love your arpeggios. Simple, but dynamic. Drop was good. But your drums need to be more 'there' Take your drums and route them to separate send track and put a compressor on it and crank up the compression. Fruity Compressor is just fine. It would be wise to use a less bass-y kick though. Something with tons of punch, but more of a mid-frequency kick. Scouted.

[~Marquez~Turn Down]

I like how you used the arpeggio from Toxic Biohazard III. The drop was good. The buildup was good, but didnt fit the intro and break downs. I think if more people can hear you and give you feedback, you'll get much better. Scouted.

SkyFever responds:

Thanks for the feedback! Yea right now I'm just a beginner but you know, practice makes perfect!
