[Howling Electricity (V2)]

This is a sick song man! really enjoy it. You've really got the development on this down solid. Love the way you manipulate the filters toward the end too. Really just a great work.

[[Dancing Bubbles]]

Awesome intro and excellent atmosphere set man. Can really tell you're getting better at this. I'd say maybe adjust the notes youre hitting on some of the synths you add in and mix up the patterns a little (seems like maybe it stays static for a few measures and changing it up can add in a bit more depth. sweet sound though!

[[Light in Darkness] v2]

sick

there you go man, that was tight. You just gotta clean it up here and there and its a masterpiece but seriously this song is sick keep it up man

LavitzSlambert responds:

yay! ^^
I'm guessing the "cleaning up" is basically equalizing and small adjustements like that? =)

anyways, I'm very happy now ^^ and I'd be even more if my score would go back over 4 (I am still wondering who gave me a 0 >.>)

cheers!

Nice Improvement

There you go Lavitz, thats the kind of drum beat you want to get going, I could really feel the power and force in that. On that note, you just need to get some supporting, high energy bass going and this song is golden.

Very nice work. Im also very impressed in the quick turn around. Incredible man.

Keep up the good work,
-fosterchild

LavitzSlambert responds:

thanks a lot Foster, and I agree, the bass needs a bit more work ^^

And this song and the last one made me learn one thing: TUTORIALS HELP A LOT! lol XD, this is the reason behind the quick turnaround :P

keep up the good work too Foster,

[In The Alley]

not bad man

you have a pretty good song here, but its missing out on a lot of classic drum n bass elements. It sounds like your drums are taking a very generic back seat to the rest of your sounds. You can get away with that in other genres but in drum n bass you gotta make drums your focal point (wow so much wisdom in that sentence.... im sure you knew that but its too much to delete now so ill just go on...) Also your song sounds a bit too distorted. I mean it sounds pretty cool but i feel like you lose a bit here and there from not focusing more on the beat.

overall though its pretty nice, keep working on your stuff man i see potential

LavitzSlambert responds:

yea like I edited in the comments, it sounds a lot more like techno then dnb. BUT! I've checked tutorials for fl studio and actually found out how to properly do drum n bass beats with FL now. I tried doing it with different drum sounds, but it
ultimately turned out to be an epic fail XD lol.

I've started to make another dnb sound, but this one will be much more, MUCH more related to the genre. I don't say it's gonna be the best song I've made so far, but we'll see ;)

thanks, wise-guy ;)

[A Drop In The Ocean Ext.]

nice

damn lavitz this is good stuff, very soothing

LavitzSlambert responds:

I appreciate it,

[~Lost In The Void~]

Sweet stuff

Hey man,

Just finished checking out all of your stuff, figured I'd just write one more review rather than bombard them all haha. Its all really tight, good development, high energy when it calls for it but youre not afraid to draw out a strong melody in there too, i really like that. I can tell all your songs have a destination, you know, not just thrown together because some things sound good.

Keep it up man,

DaveGuy responds:

thx. and don't mind poipoi. He's just a 10 yearold posing as a 15 year old I bet.

[Acid Rebound]

pretty good

Not bad lavitz,

i like your choice of synths and the overall feel of the song. You might want to work on your transitions when you drop certain beats, it seems like they just abruptly disappear. I can really see your improvement, keep it up.

-fosterCHILD

LavitzSlambert responds:

thx foster!

but I will remake this song eventually when I get the time, school takes a lot of time lol "^_^.

[[Mystery]]

Pretty good for your first song

Hey long time since we've communicated huh? haha well im glad to see you're making music now and this song definitely shows some promise. I would suggest making the build up at the beginning a little shorter, it develops in a good order but i feel like its just a tiny bit too long. I would also adjust the transition at 1:19 (i think there) it feels like it jumps a bit too quick there but all in all not too bad.

peace

LavitzSlambert responds:

Hey Foster!
like I said I'm still a beginner and I was expecting stuff to be wrong in the song ;)
I'll be sure that I won't do the same mistake in the next songs I make (at least try lol), cuz I can't retouch that song since it's only the demo, no save, only render :(. I appreciate the comment =D.

thanx ;)

[[Dj-U] Let the Light In]

Sick

hey im back on ng again haha, good to see your stuff is still kicking some ass. I love the high energy coupled with the melodic piano in the bkg in the 1:00 area. The end is sooo sick too. Keep up the good work.

Peace
