[We Believe Ep.1 - F-777]

Almost indescribable..

This song is my favourite out of all the songs I've heard on Newgrounds, because of its awesome simplicity. It works in such a fantastic way. The part in the middle of the song with the longer notes is so mindbendingly awesome. I don't know why I like this song so much. I just do.
Keep up the awesome work :)

[Slipz - You're Dead]

Interesting...

I like the way you've used your effects, like the phaser on the percussion in the start of the song for example.
What I don't like is that you've used some of the preset 3x osc sounds. You need to make your own ones, they don't work for the song at all. The percussion wasn't bad - but you need to move to some different snares and kicks. Try using slicex on a few good loops.
Anyway - this isn't bad. You have a long way to go in a lot of areas, except for percussion, which wouldn't have been half bad if you used some different sounds.

[Slipz - Code Red]

This could have been very good...

The intro was very nice, it built up slowly and created a good atmosphere. But then, when it "kicked in," you completely wrecked it by mixing two different keys. The instruments you used are too up-beat, and so are the melodies.
You can't make good dark tracks with sytrus. Try moving into 3xosc a bit. (Not the premade instruments, you should obviously make the sounds yourself) (Theres probably a few tutorials around somewhere)
Anyway, you have a few of the right ideas but you're not moving in the right direction for dark DnB tracks.

[ParagonX9 - HyperioxX]

Holy nuts

This was amazing :P
The synths pads and percussion simply melted into each other and created one awesome sound. I can sense a little bit of Cornandbeans in there - were you inspired partially by one of his songs?
Anyway - awesome song! :3

[Playing WIth Laser (DNB)]

Not bad...

For a first shot at DnB, this was quite good. It still needs a little EQ work and mastering here and there, but not much. The whole song works in a good way, it's a very happy piece.
The synths and pads you used suited the song, but kind of blotted out the drums which, up until 01:20 could have been a little louder.
Anyway, nice work with this :3

Thanks a looot!

But this isn't my first attempt of DNB, this is the first DNB song i'm proud to show you guys.

And yeah, i agree with you about the Mastering... Sorry...

[{DJ-T} Underwater]

ME LIKES

I really like this, especially near the start. It gets a little better as it goes but it doesn't change as much as it could. I couldn't help feeling that 00:44 seconds into the song, that melody didn't quite work.

Anyway, I really have to say, i love the way you drilled those hi-hats and then panned the delay on them. That sounded very good (unless that was a sound effect you downloaded >:o?)
Even though i disliked the percussion I found myself tapping my foot to it a few minutes into the song...
The instrument at 02:34 was called "vibrant" yes? I like it, it sounds good with what you already had going. It could be a little diverse, as its melody is fairly similar to the main one.
Anyway, this was a good song.
I know HelthRMX has already remixed it, but, heh... i feel like doing so as well. I really like this song :3

zenodio responds:

Thank you very much. But it was a sound effect i downloaded, i just slowed it down.

But who cares? It still sounds pretty good.
And thanks for remixing this. This isn't really my best song. It's a tad old.
So i agree with you about that with the mistakes...

[Caustic Redemption]

fuck yes :3

This is a very dynamic piece - one of the most interesting ive heard on the site; although i find that the melodies arent quite strong enough in my opinion until it gets past the 3 minute mark.
The percussion was very smooth and clean; i was surprised at how well you did with that. The song could benefit with a bit more bass; but apart from that, very awesome track here.

[[Alpha-Nuva] Agitated Ner]

Not bad...

As with all of your songs, this still has no real build-up and the whole song is a little dull.
Your instruments need a lot of work, the bell-like thing at 02:34 was not very good and it interupted the whole atmosphere of the song.
Your tunes and melodies arent that bad - they work together in a good way, but are very, very simple.
Not bad yo.

[[Alpha-Nuva] Agitated Emotions]

You are improving...

But it still doesnt really go anywhere. From what i can hear, you need new percussion sounds, the ones you are using are quite dull and un-interesting.
Add a little more flavour and speed to the percussion and you should be on the right track.
