[(EQ) The Revolution Remake]

dumb

dont rag someone for making songs with male vocals when you use them too dumbass...

Equation responds:

But these are my vocals queerbag... Not someone elses like you use

[A Silver Kiss - Remastered]

So to start with...

I have not checked in on your original Silver Kiss, but i do like this version of the song. I gotta say you have many great sounds and melodies to start with, portraying a sort of euro/club feel to the groove of it. As for your start, its rather basic but fits best (i couldn't think of a better opening either). The opening was sort and it may not be appealing at first to most listeners, but shortly it does present a soft synth that keeps the person drawn. This is a good recovery.

After the soft synth come in you have a a basic body of the song, well... at least the first part of it anyways, and holds there for what sounds like a good 4 sentences. Afterward, you've somehow included a long transition (which was very nice btw). Somehow, its actually perfect to have that sort of transition in a song like this one, normally, vocals would have replaced that particular section of the song.

What i really like most about this song is that after the spacey transition, your song take a different twist, yet keeps to its original theme. This is something you dont hear all that often even on signed albums. You've created 2 bodies and lengthy transition that blends very well together. All in all, its an excellent song.

If you would like for me to review anything else... just message me... i dont mind ^__^

Kr1z responds:

Wow! A great review :D
I'm glad my part of the song was able to replace the vocal part.
And I'm also glad you like the "spacey transition", the one that makes the song take a different twist. I made this transition in a creative outburst :D
Glad you liked it, and thanks for the constructivness.

[DEMO song (project 21)]

well...

I understand what it is you are trying to pull off here, and let me tell you now that you are using the right sounds and lead instruments, but i'm not to sure i you are using the correct key signature. I believe it is when using the key signature that you have messed up. Its all about the series of notes you are using and i'm not to sure if you know the set of notes which correspond best to your song and what you have made so far. If anything, this song could have been great but you gotta get your notes right, plus it sounds way to retro. May i suggest throwing in some different variaties of melodies?

Really, all you have to do is to take your time. You are rushing this way to much and you just gotta take it slow. try it out next time and you'll see the difference.

cullum14 responds:

cheers for advice, but i still dont understand the key signature thing

[Project 20 DEMO 2]

so to say....

As i said to the first demo, you have good melodies, but you still aren't applying them the way you want them to be. I know for a fact that you know exactly how you want this to sound, but you keep rushing it, and that's the part that's killing you. This isn't how you want this to sound, but then again, this song will help you improve on your next, just take your time and experiment. You've already proven you can make very good melodies, so why not take your time and prove you can make these songs the way YOU want them to be?

I don't know what you did, but when you changed the intro, the notes you used seemed to be out of key at some points, you may want to take a look at that. Your drum sequence is way too basic, and i would advise changing it up a bit. However, i found that the points of 1:53 through 2:44 hold a lot of potential that you are not utilizing, and it was too long. The duration of that particular segment would not have mattered so much if you knew how to execute it properly. It would have been good to add some pads there, or add in some break beats too. But may i point out that your biggest mistake is repeating the melody over and over and over... its way too retro and most people dont enjoy retro, so you really gotta watch out for that. In my opinion, you should highlight each melody or group those main melodies with one or maybe two supporting melodies and making each one its own section in the song. then using one distinct melody as like the main theme you'll revert to every so often. People love to have a song where there is diversity and yet a main theme it comes back to, though its just an opinion.

This is not a bad song so dont get me wrong, and instead of viewing this review as something potentially negative, just view it as practice. All in all, just make what you are and try to let it flow like your personality. Though, i should make this suggestion:

When making your music, listen to it over and over and over, listen to it every chance you get, you'll start to notice that it doesn't really sound how you want it, and usually you'll catch your mistakes. Its just a tip but do what ever suites you. Don't worry if you dont get it right the next time, we've all had to start somewhere right?

If you have taken my review to thought and would like for me to review any of your up coming musics or flash, then please just send me a link asking me to review it, i don't have to be on a first name bases, but i do love to review music^^ Especially trance! xD

cullum14 responds:

cheers, i'm going to start working on this one again soon

[Project20 DEMO]

Let me start by saying...

You have alot of good melodies throughout the song, actually, they are awesome. But the problem is that you're not detailing them enough, and you seem to just through them all together. You gotta let it flow from melody to melody, even layer a few o add highlighted sections. You should just improve on it a bit while its still in development.

Really, just add a descent bass and improve the drums a bit, plus, you gotta use better transitions as well... let me know when you upload another update and i can review it again for you^^

cullum14 responds:

Ta for the review. I have uploaded an update already - check ya pm inbox for details. If you ever want a review just pm me.

[Flying Away [R]]

I agree in a way...

It doesn't seem like its your most effortable work, although it is difficult to remake a song with no MIDI. But regardless, its and Excellent song, good for thinking or vibing to when working on like an essay. OF course you intro always kicks my ass! But some how, i think you've could have done just a tad bit better, transition wise at least. But I also Agree with JV (F-777), you managed to take someone else's work and making into something that directly reflects your style and theme. I also thing that maybe you should sign for a contract some time too.^^

I look forawrd to hearing something new!

*gives dap*

Shinrog responds:

It is my most effortable work actually, worked like non-stop on it =)
And I prefer to leave it as a hobby, I'm not a professional musician, didn't even have 1 music lesson in my whole life, everything's from self-learning and good ears I think.

[PoE[R]]

I gotta say...

You ALWAYS deliver on the openings^^ I really love the variety of melodies and how each uses its separate sounds, most technos aren't made like that. I love the angelic them behind this song, transitioning from a smooth flowing theme to a awesome dance house mix. You've definitely have gotten better. NICE! 8)

Downloaded ^_^ (has downloaded almost all your songs in fact^^ )
You're my inspiration for a reason dude! xD

Shinrog responds:

thanks man! appreciated!

[Speedbreaker - F-777]

NICE!!!

This is extremely awesome! and different too! You dont hear to many different trances, but this is definitely a new one for me.

For starters, i love the begining. Very nice sequence used there and with the odd-ball automatons used in the main lead, its a sure way to pull in a person's attention. Also you have good transitions, but i expected them to be a tad bit better from you. All in all, its an awesome song and i can always count on you to bring something different to the scene^^

F-777 responds:

Thanks so much! Grabbing peoples attention was a thing i was trying to accomplish, thank you so much for letting me know what you think of this song!

[A Point of View [Re]]

^___^

Love it! Although i do have a better energy flow with the original Point of View, i must say i like this one much better ^__^

Shinrog responds:

I guess it was worth it then ^.^

[Infertehno]

o/////o

Not what i expected, i had to restart the song like six times. I know you've gotten better at composing, but i wasn't expecting for you style to change. Maybe its just this one song, i dont know, but its bad ass none the less!

This just inspired one of my new works... :3
5/5 10/10

Shinrog responds:

dunno, did my style changed?
