"Pretty cool!"

date: 6 hours ago

I liked this. The vocals were a nice touch. They added to the mood. I really like the melody(s). The drums a good, especially the hi-hat. However, I do have criticism. Personally, I think it's way too short. Maybe you could add a breakdown to bring out the melodies a bit more and introduce some new elements like a new lead and/or a baseline. Then bring the drums back in with the new elements.
Also, I think it lacked bass. Maybe a reese or a simple sine sub.
Overall, it's a cool tune. I agree with you that it could swing either way in the death match. Good luck!

[Take It Slow]

"WOW!"

submission: [Take It Slow]
date: November 2, 2009

I'm blown away by this song! It's so professional sounding. You have a great voice. It fit's perfectly with the music. I love the sound of the piano. The delay and reverb and other effects add a lot to it. All of the instruments fit together and sound good. It's well mixed and mastered.

My only critique is that I think you could add more to the drums than just a kick. Maybe you could start out with a kick and then add more to the drums as the song progresses.

Other than that, I can't find anything wrong with the song. Great job on this! :)

Mute City [Box-Killa]

"It's pretty good"

date: October 25, 2009

I like it. It's got a good feel to it. However, the progression needs a little work. imo, it all kind of came together at around 1:52, but then it ended too quickly. I feel that the middle section was drawn out a bit too much. So, my advice is to shorten the middle section and focus more on the last section.
Also, the bass sounded a little too loud in the mix. I would lower the volume on it a bit.
I like the way you switched up the drum sounds slightly throughout the song.
I haven't played this game but from what I hear you did it justice. It definitely has a video game vibe.

If you don't mind could you review and rate my newest song, Salvation? Thanks

"YES!"

date: October 7, 2009

You two together = epic win! :D
The sample, drums, everything is great! The thing I like the most is the bass. It's so badass! I will say that the song gets kind of repetitive. Other than that, great job!

Isreal (ng cut) - josh

"Love It!"

date: October 7, 2009

Out of all the amazing dubstep you submitted for the contest, this is my favorite. I love the atmosphere. It's got an eerie yet soothing vibe to it. You definitely nailed the middle-eastern sound. I love all the samples. They fit perfectly. I can't get enough of that sidechained sample of some middle-eastern instrument. Where did you get it?
Anyway, I would say that you could've added some more to it, like the drums, more instruments, more pronounced bass (more than just a sub), stuff like that. However, I do realize that, as you said in your response to the review below, you want to keep the deep vibes and I'm cool with that. I understand what you mean. So, whenever you're in this kind of mood again, please make another track! lol
You have major talent man! 5/5 10/10 faved dled

Haha dude... Way tooo much praise! Thanks anyway tho :P

As for that side-chained middle eastern instrument, its acually some middle-eastern girl singing... I just sliced it up, layered effects onto it, and yeah... haha

But yeah, i'd love to make this track progress, and turn it into a full length tune - but i dont really know where to go from here... (i'll end up posting it here if i do)

anyways,
Cheers for the awsome review!

"WOW!"

date: August 11, 2009

Great entry man! I love the creepy sounding printer synth melody. The bass is very cool. I would never have thought to manipulate the sample the way you did. Everything sounds great! My only critique is that it gets kind of repetitive.
Good luck in the contest! :)

"Damn Dude!"

date: July 29, 2009

This track is all over the place. All of basses, synths, etc. are sick! The intro is perfect cause it has a ominous and atmospheric vibe to it. The transitions are very smooth. and, as the guy below me said, nice panning effects. My only critique is to make it longer.
btw, this reminds me of the kind of stuff that plays on the Scion commercials. This would be perfect. You should seriously consider selling this to them.

tetris (TCB's dubstep mix)

"Nice!"

date: July 24, 2009

Man you've really got Dub nailed down! I like the beat. The bass is awesome! Dirty, bassy, and kickass. My only criticism is that it gets kind of repetitive.

Overall, great tetris dub remix! 5/5 10/10 dled

Kazmo - Euphoric Part 3/3

"WOW!!!"

date: May 2, 2009

I listened to all 3 parts and dude this is amazing! Professional grade stuff here. You should think about getting this signed. I really appreciate you splitting up into parts and upping the bitrate/quality. It sounds so much better. I'm picky when comes to the bitrate. lol
I really like the feel to it. It's laid back, deep, and emotional but powerful, kickass, and well... Euphoric. The beat is great especially the big and booming kick. The lead saw is huge and very well done. btw, what plugin do you use for reverb? cause the reverb in this is awesome. I just got the free plugin Ambiance and love it. but I'd be interested to know what you use.
again, amazing track! I'm goin' to download all 3 :)
5/5 10/10 faved (all 3)
