Great style.

For the people who don't listen to DnB, wooooow. DnB is a broad genre, go listen to the rest of it sometime, eh? ;)

-I really enjoy the ambient aspects brought out in this piece. The drums are relaxing too. The repetitiveness is actually great. It's like a framework. Now, build the peaks and valleys of the roller coaster. Flair here and there, softer parts elsewhere. Make a story. Have fun if you go for that ;)

[Rig - Zombies in Space!]

Top notch

Perhaps one of the most professional sounding pieces I've heard on this site since I first logged on. I would imagine this being running away from zombies in a ship in space. Fighting for your life in a fast paced, intenseness that matches nothing else. Nailed it right on the head. Consider this the most genuine 10/10 I've given.

Awesome

This is a compliment, so sorry if you don't like your music being compared. It reminded me of F-Zero. It's fast paced, catchy guitar lines, great rhythm. Basically, this is awesome :)

Yummmmmm.

Drumwork: Phenomenal. I enjoyed how technically pleasant the drums were.

Intro: Nice. I love the idea there. It does seem a bit too awkward though. The bass synth at the beginning needs to fade down to nothing coming into the next drum hit/delay, and then come back up a little, and then back down for the filter effect. The delay didn't feel long enough as well.

-Otherwise, this rocks!

Thanks for the review man. I have to agree, I never enjoyed my choice for the bass synth, and was trying to find something else I could use, but couldn't. I'll definitely look into that tonight. Thanks for the constructive criticism as well. I feel good getting a drum compliment from an actual drummer. Thanks again.

A very interesting mix. :)

I have not listened to the original, but this is quite the rendition here. Different than the usual game tunage that I'm familiar with. Let's break this down, eh?

-Mixing/Technical Work: Beautiful. It seems like everything that was intended came out nicely. The drums were beautiful in sound. The first hit sounds a bit distorted though. Doesn't make for a great beginning. Could be the speakers though. Look into it though?

-Lovely bass and synth sounds. The drums...idk what to make of them. I love the rhythms, but the drums don't seem to fit the flowing, rich, jungle-like picture. What I mean is this: they stick out. I don't know if that's volume or sound (EQ) stuff.

Music: Enjoyed the synth work, so no comments there.

-Let's talk drums. The entrance at :38 (ish) for the drums was a bit abrupt. Try putting a fill in there to keep the idea of transition going. This is a very flowing piece by the sounds of it. Keep the surprises to a minimum as far as those transitions go.

- :46-48 was rough without any cymbal. This part would be better with a more real drumkit (if not, a real drumkit), but it doesn't stand out with sampled drums. Add more rhythmic cymbal hits, keep the flowing pace going.

-The drums going out were great. It was abrupt, but the drum fill really made the transition natural, and then that heavy bass hit said "yes, we're done."

-Overall: Lovely stuff going here. I always find something amazing in your stuff.

Thanks man. Didn't notice the beginning.

Welcome to the Club!

[Good Morning America]

yummy

-My only beef is the snare drum. It needs to be darker, more warlike, less like a popcorn snare. However, this is some beast music. I think you should add suspended cymbal swishes where necessary. Nice job dude :)

Thanx for review and feedback.
Soon I'll put a different mix up, with some improvement on trumpet (due to nathanallenpinard's review and his link to SIR1 reverb) and your opinion on the percussion.

[Millenium (Preveiw)]

Needs more dynamic work especially, but nice.

Dynamics: The contrasting volumes and contrasting drive of a song. Music has to go somewhere, even if it's electronic-based. Try different things.

-Intro: Great! Simple, but effective.
-Getting into it: nice fill to come into the next idea, but put small variations in between for more contrast and fun.
-Ending: a good transition point. I like the contrast it gave.

Style: Well, I'm a sucker for noise-electronica. However, I think it could be more sporatic and crazy. NOT LOUD AND MORE GRITTY. More crazy fills, more glitch effects, etc. Put those in!

Mixing: I like the distortedness, really nice. Perhaps a more driving bass drum would be interesting XD

Overall: Sweet, but experiment and have some fun with it. It's kinda straight-forward. Play this tune with more variation and effects/fills that catch the ear, and this groovin' gold.

Pivvot responds:

Why thank you for the constructive criticism! I shall use it wisely!

[Camilla {{remix}}]

Constructive comments, but no crapping, sorry :P

Melody-Extremely awesome, but it seems like there's a slight blip in the melody occasionally. Look into that and make sure the melody flows more cohesively if that is the goal of the music.

Mixing-3/4's of the way there. I really like it. Needs some more refinement. It seems really basic. The melodic synths are great. The rest could be more meaty.

Intro-Needs to be the first 13 seconds only. It's kind boring after that.

Effects-Next to none, makes the song feel like it's going nowhere. Work on more transition effects especially, those make a song more appealing and tasteful.

-Overall: Good. Needs more refinement and creativity. Experiment! Test the limits, and have fun :)

Thanks! I'll try to keep that stuff in mind next song!
