[[DJ_ITD] - Solace of Revenge]

Hardstyle

Excellent, and it has a nice heavy kick with the Hardstyle synths that just sound absolutely amazing. I hope to hear more from you, please PM me when you have a new song, I'll be following you. (And not in the creepy way)

Sincerely,
Prex

Amazing

Everything has pretty much been said. This song has a good beat. A good melody. Solid synths. It's well EQ'd. It really is an amazing song.

The guy below me v_v

is a wrong. I didn't get bored, cause I was to busy listening to the awesomeness of the song. The breaks were really good, and the beats were just good in general. Once again, an amazing song.

Sincerely,

[[DJ_ITD] - Metro]

Very nice

Sounds nice. A good kick drum, and it just feels so epic. The synths you chose were also amazing. Then your effects that you throw in add so much to the song. Very incredible work. Thank you for allowing me to use them.

Sincerely,

Snappy

The snare was pretty snappy, which I didn't not like, but I didn't think it was the most fantastic way it could have been done. I like the pad you use though, nice a pretty. A nice heavy kick, makes me wanna dance. The piano was good too, it was well done. Everything about that part was amazing. Overall a beautiful song.

P.S. Half way through, a lot of good music, I'm really enjoying your stuff :D

[[DJ_ITD] - Greater Good]

Epic

This song is simply amazing imo. It has a nice build, then when it switches sections and the kick starts, it's really good trance. Nice and simple. The fact that you're beating yourself over this song is silly. It's really well done. The melodies sound wonderful. And the short synth in the background is a nice layer on the song. Very well done.

[[DJ_ITD] - 8-Trak]

Long Intro

The Intro was a bit to long for me. It felt empty with it just being drums. Though they sound good, it was a little to much of it. I like it as soon as the bass started. Then the drop hit and it was like POW! right in kisser, awesome. However, when it dropped all the instruments back out, I didn't like it quite as much again. Overall I enjoyed the middle part so much I think it makes up for it.

djInTheDark responds:

I totally agree. That first minute is primarily just mix in time. To be honest I would have cut the intro in half but people have complained in the past for there not being enough mix in time for their sets. It's really a matter of play style so I completely understand if it doesn't fit your preferences, I personally have little use of it. And the same story applies to the mix out.

I know exactly how you feel, thanks for the review!

[Recursive Behaviors]

Well it definitely shows something

That is, how far you've come. Sounds fantastic. It's repetitive, but I didn't mind. It was, while intense, relaxing. Very well executed trance in my opinion. Only real complaint, though this could my imagination f***ing with me, but at 2:40-ish, it sounds like something's panning, and it is a little dizzying, maybe back it off a tiny bit, keep it, but not so far to each side. Other then that, the ending could be done a little bit better, it's too sudden, it just kind of goes, "Chord, END!" So yeah, good shit. :D

Sincerely,
Prex

OpenLight responds:

Yeah I didn't put any panning in, so it may be your imagination lol.

And the repetitiveness has to do with the theme. This is how I would have made a song a while back.

Thanks!

A bit repeatetetetetetive

Have you noticed that a lot of good submissions are getting rated down lately? Anyway, good song. I think it sounds very much like you. Very cool, sound. But I'm with Retroman, that repeated background synth was used for to much of the song. Still awesome though.

[Epic With A Vengeance FINALv]

Guitar

Overall good, just bring the guitar out a little more and it would have been a 10/10. Just a little bit is all I want out of it. Just that little bit.

Sincerely,
Prex

Shadrock responds:

Thanks. I know a lot of people seem to say the same thing, I'm still learning with mixing unfortunately it's hard to mix so many different sounds to where they are all clearly audible, I bring up the guitars and it washes out the strings and synth and vice versa lol. I'll keep trying to improve though :)
