Go fourth and learn, young one! \(°_°)/

LavaRift responds:

Although this is far in my past, I appreciate the feedback.

[Finding unity]

Technically I can't say what's wrong/what could be better. Because I don't hear anything wrong.

My opinion is, that this song is awesome. Need less to say.

Brolf/5 Stars
You're Awesome!

UserSigon responds:

Lol! Someone actually enjoyed this <3
Thanks for listening, have a good day!

[Black Dawn]

Great execution. I don't like the idea making a war song. Cos the terror being a soldier is the truth and the heroicness is just a beautiful lie we tell ourselfs to make us feel better about war. I could write poems about it. But except for that, I'll criticise your tune.

It is well made. I had the feeling the moments didn't came over to me. I just couldn't imagine all these things while listening. Maybe there were some things you missed.

After all you did a great job.

I have absolutely nothing to say on this. I mean this positively.

Thanks!

[Winter Solstice]

I'm no expert in House music. So you may judge me if I'm completely wrong at this but something was missing in there. I have no Idea what it is precisely but it needs something that make this track special. I have no Idea what kind of special thing, but something. Just sounded like every else song from the electric scene I have heard.
Tbh I think after all it was pretty good. Just this special thing was missing.

Keep the work goin' mate!

FrenZeon responds:

Sidechain compression, good mastering skills, excitement in the drop portion of the song, and better mixing skills. Correct???

[The Comet]

Sound more like 2 tracks in one but with the same pattern. It's good. I like it. Technically, personally and also just total neutral it's good.
I won't say it's outrageous, something's still missing to be in my awesome list but it's a really good tune.

5/5 Stars
Really good work bro! Keep it goin'!

Pi0run-V responds:

Thanks man! :D

[Wra- Curiosity 2]

Nice made. It sounds like made from a professional but the ol' Brolf won't let you go without some stuff you need to make better.

So this song has a remindable melody but it's at the end. I think you should first pick your Intro, then the hook/remindable melody/whatever you wanna call it, THEN put something like an Interlude and then the hook. Since the hook is the longest thing in your song. Or at least what I've heard. The rest sounds like fillers in patterns who sound like the refrain but...well...fillers in instrumental songs are totally not good.

Just work on your planning on songs. Here's a simple webpage that might help you with that (http://www.wikihow.com/Compose-a-Song)

Great Job, may be better, keep workin'!

[Simon Vonck - Happy]

All I have to say is

Werke harder.

Srsly m8, this track is O.K. but you need some music lessons or at least way more hours on sound design so that this track sounds in my ears good.
After 2 Minutes my ears started to bleed and this is the most bad sign you can have when I review your music.

It's dangerous to go alone, take this! (http://creatingsound.com/learning/tutorials/)

SimonVonck responds:

okay, thanks

[Mirrors Pt. II]

Great work.
I'm impressed.

Nice use of 5.1 Surround and verey well use of the guitar.

What you can do better?
Breathe.

The technique to breathe in a song is VERY important.
00:36 There is the point where I heard you're almost out of breathe.
Or well...at least it sounds like.
Not like the art way out of breathe more like "Shit I barely can sing my own phrases"
And that's...kinda unprofessional.

Well just check this out (https://www.successfulsinging.com/free-singing-guides/breathing-exercises-for-singing/) I know, you feel kinda dumb when you do this but breathing is very very important (obviously)

Keep the work goin'! Love that guitar skills (Guitarist by myself)

SerPounce responds:

Ooo, thanks a ton for the feedback and the link man, I'll definitely check that out, I've been meaning to look more into the technical aspects of breathing/singing!

[Screaming By]

Yes, you need to learn sound design. I hear it. I mean I have the luck that I have a gift of melodic ear. Or something like this I think you know what I mean. I can tell you that my ears bleed a little. Only just a little which is kinda progress I think? To not be an asshole just saying, that the whole thing was just too sharp. Not like sick sharp, more like too sharp. Too many FX. I recommend work with 2 - 3 FX to make a song FIRST and when you did a great job with that, use more. Slowly.

Step
By
Step

But at first, try to use as less FX as music theory allows and then give more FX slowly.

Until you mastered it.
