[The Speed of Sad]

Nice! :D I like how you totally reinvented the mood of this track. I like the instruments and the melody at :56. You could stand to slow down the tempo a little more in my opinion, but you still managed to take some of the energy away, while keeping it cute and engaging. It didn't loop perfectly well in my opinion, but still a solid remix. I'd love to hear some original tracks by you, GenoWhirled. Keep it up, man! :)

[Mountain City Anchor (NG)]

I liked the climactic intro and the distorted instruments, but the part after :50 got a little repetitive, and I didn't like the effect you used at 1:04. 1:14 was a bit of a rough transition, but maybe that was just to give some finality to the preview. I listened to the whole thing on Youtube, and I liked it in general. Some of the transitions were a little cliche, and it got a little repetitive after a while, but pretty good job. Keep up the good work. ;)

[Psybot - Blitzcrank Trib.]

Yes! :D Finally! It was really catchy and climactic, and you incorporated the Blitzcrank samples really well. The melody fits your style perfectly- exactly why I fell in love with your music all those years ago ^^. I also liked the rhythmic section at 2:50. Awesome use of instruments, and incredibly well-structured. Top-notch material as always, Psybot! Hope you post more often from now on. :D

[--PianoHouse(full song)--]

I like it. :) The beat was good and the ominous beginning was interesting. I think you need more of a smooth transition at :30. After that, it was pretty catchy, but I thought the melody at 1:00 was a little strange. You had another one of those stop-and-go transitions at 1:33, but I liked the breakdown bit after that. 2:10 was a much better transition. The piano at 2:25 seemed to come out of nowhere, and maybe it's just not my style, but I'm not sure I like the stop-and-go transitions like at 2:42. I liked the transition at 3:15, though. In general, I felt it was a bit longer than it needed to be, but I liked the instruments you used and the beat. Keep up the good work! :)

0_o´´ Whoa tanx for your respond dude! i really gonna take that info =)

[Zix'Medium]

Interesting...it's dreamy and relaxing, but it also has a lot of energy. Love the climactic nature of it and the moody, ambient feeling in certain sections. It's pretty repetitive and distorted at times- not my favorite genre- but I understand that this is your style. ;) I like the rhythmic and energetic sections a lot as well as the dreamy beginning. In general, it's pretty catchy and unique, and I liked the ending. Good job! :)

SynchroSpectre responds:

Haha, unique? Almost every piece Trance music similar to this is almost exactly the same, this song follows the monotonous build and the breakdown the same way almost every classic Trance piece, of course some people try and mix things up a bit to prevent that but hey, this is a pretty easy genre.

(btw, I didn't do any "fade ins" and "fade outs" this time ;)

[An Intimate Ballad]

It's pretty. :) Loops pretty well too. The melody is nice and upbeat, but I feel like it needs to have more substance to be a full song. You should keep working on it. :) Great start, though. ;)

DarkantheHero responds:

I'd write a whole song form but I'm rushing to get a demo reel together for internships, so I've been writing 30 second cues to save time. I have a few pieces I'll probably come back to later and finish. Thanks for the comments.

[Blooming Flower [Preview]]

I love the emotion! It's so upbeat! I listened to the full track on Soundcloud, and I like it a lot. Like I've said before, I don't think all your tracks need to be so long, but I understand that it's your style. :) I'm sure your girlfriend will love it, and that's the important thing. ;)

Dylnmatrix responds:

Thanks man. I'm glad you like it.

And yes, she loved it, so I'm happy.

[Manuel S. - GraveyardDemo]

I like the ominous beginning, even if it was a little slow-going for a while. I loved the climax, but the part after :54 didn't measure up to the level of intensity that the climax established in my opinion. It was energetic and catchy, but not quite the explosion of emotion that I anticipated. It was still good, maybe a little repetitive towards the end, but I think you should try to manage your listeners' emotions a bit better in your next track. I like the ending, btw, and it loops pretty well, too. Overall, good job! You should keep working on it! It has potential, man. Keep it up! :)

mNl responds:

Thanks man ! :)
Glad you like it, even a quiet bit !

I have to agree !
Even recognized, that it's repetitive, im still workin on it !
Like i've said, it's still a "work in progress" ;) Not finished yet.
Anyway - Im so thankful for your respones !
That's what i need !
Thanks for your review ! I will take care of your advices !

My biggest hope is, that I've managed the levels right,because i did this on my headphones and couldnt take any listen on speakers :/

[Who Knows [WIP]]

I like the ominous beginning, but I didn't like how you used that open hat at :09. Maybe it's just not my style, but the rhythm of the hat was a bit distracting from the melody. Speaking of the melody, I like it a lot! It's catchy and fits with the ominous beginning. 1:00 was a pleasant surprise. I was totally expecting a hardcore drop there, but suddenly it was chill again. As for the actual dubstep part, I thought it was incorporated well with the rest of the song. I don't always like vocals used like that, or dubstep in general for that matter, but I like this a lot better than some other stuff I've heard. I liked the ending, too. Keep up the good work! :)

Kaskrin responds:

Thanks man, will do! I appreciate the honest comment.
