This is a pretty good track!
The first thing I noticed was how well the pad in the background sets the mood.
The vocals, however, sound a little dry. I'd recommend some heavy reverb, or a modulated voice in the background, or both, or something to that end.
In the buildup, the vocals get a little off beat, so I'd watch out for that.
The drop is really good.
I like how it sounds overall; your music has gotten better recently.
4.5/5

TheMajician responds:

Thanks! Ill take the reverb thing to the next track for sure. Always workin on improvin

I love how metallic the beginning sounds, and then that guitar just totally draws me in to the song.
Maybe make that bass in the background a little softer, and it kinda overpowers the guitar.
The sections of this song flow well together, and I love how natural it all feels.
The drop is really good; I love how it centers mainly on bass, with the guitar and pluck in the background. The beat really brings it all together as well.
The mastering is excellent, well done on that.
This really is an enchanting track, and I'm actually listening on repeat at the moment because it's so good.
Beautiful sound, my friend. Beautiful sound.
5/5

TheMajician responds:

Thanks bro! Really appreciate all the kind words

sounds are amazing, melody is beautiful, everything is incredible in this song.
I love how the first buildup is broken down at first and then it comes back into an amazing drop.
5/5

Sounds pretty good!
I would add a melodic element in the beginning, as it sounds kinda empty.
when the sweep transition comes in, you start clipping just a little bit, so I would try and keep the volume down. I think (and this is just my opinion so you dont have to agree) that it's better to start with quiet songs, and once you learn how to master well, increase your output.
Otherwise, this is a pretty good song!
The kick seems to have a lot of sub bass in it, which may be too much, but I'm not sure.
I would be interested in hearing a full version of this, as you're getting better, and I always like hearing your progress.
4/5

beautiful, I love it.
I usually just listen to EDM and such, as that is what I create, but this is enough to draw me away for a while...
The way this piece "moves" in a sense makes me remember my happiest memories. I'm sure I speak for everyone, saying that.
I agree with LucidShadowDreamer in that you explored some uncommon harmonies, which I love because people seem to just reuse harmonies and melodies left and right nowadays. Good job on that.
Phenomenal job on this piece, and I can't wait to hear more of your songs!
5/5

Phonometrologist responds:

That's quite an encouragement to read. As far as uncommon harmonies go, one really just needs to listen to as much music as possible with many different styles. Eventually, one could get their ears tuned into whatever the underground river of music is playing. Otherwise we might not ever discover it, nor fully realize a piece of music's capabilities.
I'm not saying anyone has the ability to fully realize this flow. It just comes and as quickly it does, it goes. I'm merely at a brook at one end trying to catch a part of it.

you use GarageBand?
I suggest Logic Pro X if you use it, because Logic Pro, though pricey, is SO much better than GarageBand is.
Now then, on to the review...
I like the bass, though it could be a little stronger.
The drum line feels kinda incomplete; maybe put some quiet reverb on it or make the kick stronger, or both!
The buildup is pretty weak, and the drop is really really disappointing...
In the buildup, change the beat up. While that beat is simple and easy to use, it really creates this sense of no mood changes. The buildup needs to have higher energy than the rest of the track, to show that something epic is coming, and that brings me to my next point.
The drop is disappointing. Breaking it down was a nice idea, but I'd say that it doesn't give the impact I was hoping for.
Maybe, if you want to break it down (though this is personal taste), start with the breakdown, then make a drop impact and go on with the drop. Again, that's personal opinion, and a suggestion that you can completely disregard if you like.
Also, make the fade in from 2:33 to 2:50 shorter.
4/5

DJRadiocutter responds:

I'm only re-making what i heard in the original, and it only took about 45 minutes xD

Yeah, but i use FL mainly. sometimes i use some FX from garageband in my tracks, but that's about all i used Garageband for :P

pretty good!
I like the beginning, and Dan's voice really puts the song together.
The reverb that you put on most of the instruments is a nice touch; I like it.
If you had SKYE sing as well that would be awesome, but that's just personal opinion. Maybe like in the chorus or something. Try some Grouplove style stuff :D
The production on this is really clean, and the sound overall is really good.
It's also really really catchy, so I like it!
5/5

ThiefOfVoid responds:

Thanks :)

I've been working on this for a couple weeks now, and I have finally finished!

And maybe I'll make a version featuring Skye one day

made me smile from the very beginning :)
Sounds pretty good, just say maybe add more layers than just what there is. You could use some more bass.
Otherwise, it's got a quirky, fun layout and melody, and it's fun to listen to!
4/5

Mytholigist responds:

Thanks!, I will take your feedback into consideration for my next song :)

I really like the synth in the beginning; it really sets the mood well.
The drums are nice, but the kick could be a little deeper. Don't worry, I went through that phase (and still am xD) and it's nothing to worry about. Just a minor mastering issue.
What this track really needs is some cool vocals. That would make this nearly complete track complete.
Otherwise, it's really good!
My only complaint is that the melody that comes in at 1:31 doesn't fit with the original chord melody.
It gets a little repetitive after a while, but I be jammin' to those chords so whatever :)
4.5/5

INGR3SSO responds:

Thanks for your response. By the way, how about you help me to find some vocals and edit it? I will give you credit if you can help me with it. Message me if you can or not

nailed it xD
You even got the Navi sounds in the background, nice job!
