[Tears of Divinity]

wow

that was really touching, great flute, and when the deep strings come in...OOOO lol, great sound...

i only submit hip hop, but i decided to venture off further into the depths of other music genres...and you are one of the artists (along with edgen and maestrosorrow) that makes me glad I have expanded.

MilkMan-Dan responds:

Oh wow... you have no idea what an honor it is to be compared with the likes of Winterwind and MaestroSorrow as they are... truly... well... masterminds :). Thanks alot :).

[_-=[Aftermath]=-_]

very nice

like most reviewers have said, the resounding 'e' gives a nice affect that mixes great with the ambient rain in the background...

and the lite viola in the back rele helped made this piece sound complete, i only wish it was longer.

great job

MaestroSorrow responds:

many thanks, I quite enjoyed writing this.

[Thinkin]

this is better

tha bass is WAY too distorted...compress it

i like tha strings, and tha kicks are nice too but it doesnt sound complete without some snares...rele important, good job on tha hats too

XIIIthSoundsSoldier responds:

The bass is meant to be that way dude! No insult intended but maybe you havent heard a British rap tune. Bass dominates very harshly in small short bursts. As for the snares i do try to include snares quite a lot but in some tracks it sounds plain creepy! Keep an eye out later for the rest of my mixtape instrums as soon as my tape hits the london streets.

[Vader Aint Got Shit On This]

nice choice for a sample...

but it sounds like yu gave up for tha drum beat part... yu needa change tha kick because that is not hip hop, tha snare needs to be louder and doesnt go with tha tone of the beat...

juss so i kno, are yu doin this for fun or do yu wanna do this for other reasons...i judge more harshly if yu wanna do this for other than fun so that i can help yu...

lemme kno

BeAtBrEaKeR187 responds:

im doin this sirius man, i dint have eny idea i was usin the worng kik, so i guess its gud u told me :P, wat adivse can u give me?

[Saw Theme Sampled]

now this shyt was tough

i liked this one alot, i dont think i wouldve thought of sampling that soundtrack...great job on this one...tha bass was too amped on this one so thats why yur diversity was a 7.

Fury responds:

i wanted the bass to be up a bit but when i exported it was too much

[Tha King.(Preview)]

nice lil string melody

you gotta do better on picking tha right percussion sound...there is deffinatly a more perfect snare yu could use for this beat.
I unno if yu EQ but yu should...and i aint talkin like i dont kno nuttin, i got mad songs too.

I like tha intro, it went well wit tha beat, i kno it aint done yet but add some more instruments.

nice beat

[Loaded]

Nice delayz

...that are going on in my left and right speakers. Still needs more though, add some main instrument with a hot melody to bounce to you know, one that makes it...well...bouncy lol

~1~

Always-Dark responds:

Ma friend made most of the beat, i added some snare and drum changes and mixed it. He said that i should take out the delays, i was like what r u crazy? So now i know im right.

Thanks for the review.

1 love

[12 Minute Beat]

aint gonna lie

This dont sound like hip hop, but itz better than my first one, which i would never post here because of its scariness lol.

iight, your drumz in Here you go were alot better and sounded hip hop, try mixing more than one snare for a more original sound. At the top of each channel settings box from each instrument you load, there is an FX box. load each instrument into a different channel and go to tha FX panel which can be reached by going to tha top right most icon and clicking. Enter effectz as needed.

If you need a melody, turn on tha keyboard-pianoroll light so that you can type melodies on your computer keyboard. the icon looks like a keyboard mixed wit a piano next to the tempo and pattern number at the top of the program.
Once this is done, if yu want a club melody, they are normally done by using Q, Y, and 7...or in the song Candy Shop, which i kno yu dont like, X, J, and N.

Next time your going to review me, be constructive and don't rate me poorly because im friends wit someone you dislike, just because im friends wit someone you dont like, doesnt mean i agree wit there values and methods.

Keep up tha work...i c you wanna become a professional producer...if you want that, you cant make it on your own, dont go out makin enemies with people who can help you even if it getz you pissed off...like me, i can help you, i helped reven when he first got tha program...and now look where he is, he progressed faster than ive ever seen...he was like a student

I can help you too, email me if you want anything, [e-mail]

Chiptominius responds:

well, for the truth, this wasnt actully my first beat, it was the first i submitted, but it wouldnt let me type that much,... i still think my first beat (not this one)is one of my best ( sad, huh?, lol) as a matter of fact, i might just post that if i can cut it a little short and get it under 4 megs.....
