[Keep on ravin (Rawmin Remix)]

It's fun.

I really liked this song. I heard alot of your eralier stuff and expected something a bit less refined then this. But you really did a good job. And unlike the last guy, I have no idea how to work FL or any Vst's So I just listen to the sound of it. this sogn worke dout all right. It could use a bit of refining on that annoying computerized sound in the Background. As well as a more expansive melody and some drums. But this is a MAJOR improvement on most of the stuff I heard before this. SO congrats on the new found skill my friend.

Check out some of my musics if you want as well.

Rawmin responds:

Thanks for the lengthy and pleasant review. I do think I've been improving and plan to keep on the trend.

[Instinct (from AAA to XXX)]

It was alright.

I'll give you some props for this, the voice somewhat makes up for probably one of the moore annoying tones I've heard. Be happy that your voice played backwards can cure certain song aliments, It may have turned out worse than it is. This actually is quite a good song, If not be it the simpleness of it (That's not a bad thing, espiecially in this case.) My best advice is, From hearing all of your songs, at times it just feels as though your pumping em out for the sake of it. Take some time, Work out all the quirks and Find a meoldic symphony between your instruments and your voice, and You could come up with something amazing.

Good song.

[Electronome]

Not bad.

It's funny watching how you improve throughtout each song. This is my fav. it's still not amazing, and you're being reviewed according to others music as well, So I'm giving you quite a good grade even as is. But For your first few songs these are doing all right. Keep up the work and give me a shout when a new one comes out!

kvsunfire3 responds:

Hey, I'm glad you like it, and I'll definitely keep posting music. Just lemme know what you think ^^

[Troll - Great Justice]

Oh dude!

The break point is jsut insane! It starts out really slow, but it hits that and makes up for everything. For a first song this is really well done. Ah man it's defiantely Something you could just get up and break to. Great job man. I want more from you.

[Slaughter Happy]

For the fourth time.

I Guess I'll follow the cliche atm and say it was "pretty good". It really does sound like some messe dup version of Dr. Mario. Over all quite a good piece, I like the tech effects put in and the simple bass. Keep it up and Give a shout out to one of my songs if you get the chance.

[(::Towards The Sun::) =FINAL=]

I love it!

The song Immeaditaly brings a familiarity to heart and soul, The song I learned how to play piano with :P. I believe Your doing a C Chord C- CE -CEG- CGEC then the Aminor ...etc I could be wrong, that was by ear... Either way, back to the review: The progression Is quite slow paced and lets the listener Sit back and mind the music. It's very mellowed out, and has a feel of passion to it. Quite astounding how emotion can be felt through songs, adn sepcifically how you bring i out in this one. Great work my friend.

FatKidWitAJetPak responds:

THanks a lot. it is very hard to make a song bring out emotion, especially to teenagers. Art doesn't bring out emotion as much as music does, that is why I like making it so much. Thanks for your review, and I am glad you liked it.

OMG THE 1ST NINE IN A LONG TIME*

[(NUB) I Just Can't Win]

Hmmmm...

I thought that might be your tag when I saw it on the new music section. and sure enough it was...oddly enough, the intro was my favorite part. Just the way it flowed and BAM the song is there buy you take it away and bring it back a bit more each time. It's a really smooth playthrough, througout the whole song. I wish i could criticize on the making of the effects, but i seriously dont know whether thats a standard effect or you tweak it yourself. Either way you turned a simple very mellowed out melody into a creation of creativity and just something a person could generally sit down and drink a beer too. and on that note. Cheers to you my friend.
9/10 5/5

nubbinownz responds:

Cheers my man! I'll drink to that!

The effects are not standard effects. I Try to do everything un preset. And make my own synths and arps as well.
The beats I make are individual hits from about 6 different breaks in this one. With various parameter automations on the sampler. Thank you so much for the awesome review man! I really appreciate it!

[Mind of a Child--_--]

This was fun.

It was really cool how you used the distortion of the sounds to allow the kick of the drums to phase right into the listener in the intro. They still allowed ofr a melody to come through. I'd say you got some drumming background going on there, cause it's stuff you dont hear too often from most of the mixers. Even the bass seems to be paled in comparison to how much work is going into the drums.

The melody...I couldn't even notice much of it to begin with. But when I heard the sounds repeat, I figured it out, and it became that much of a better listen. Definatly a much better song on the second playthrough.

The bass, seems to never stop, it sounds as though you just hit it once and then almost wah it to a different tone for the whole song. I really like how it was done.

overall quite a good song. You got my Fav.

It took me a good 30 minutes to listen to this whole thing thanks to my crappy dial up atm. BUt It was well spent.

PERVOK responds:

Good call, friend. I've been playing drums for 11 years now :) I'm really glad how you appreciate all the small things in this song; since I wrote this song just from straight inspiration and no real goal at all, it turned out a little bit messy. But I'm happy that you saw past the mess, haha :)

Thanks for the detailed review, and the fav! I really appreciate it. Not often that I get a really good review from a really good listener :D

Keep it easy.

[Dj Alexz - Everytime We Touch]

Gotta agive him some credit...

I Think He could actually ahve some turntables and have done this, It sounds more of an actual DJ then A mix edit. So What he considers his own work is different then what Ng would allow. I'll give you a 2 for the effort, next time make your own music though.

[The Fight for Ultimate Destiny]

Lmao

Everyone here thinks it sounds like a different song. It's a nice little tune nonetheless. I don't care for the bass but, still good anyways.
