[Ambiguous DnB RmX]

Been wondering if I should watch Kill la Kill or not myself. I might actually after hearing this X3.
Anyway this is awesome as always. I love your anime remixes :D. Always makes me want to watch whatever anime it is like with Attack on Titan. Seriously that was my favourite anime of all time and I never would have even heard about it if it wasn't for your remix :3.

Anyways, this is another epic remix from you and clearly deserves 5 stars :D.
Love your music :).

[Huge Monkey]

Not really cup of tea but I guess this just isn't my type of music.
I didn't like the general sounding of the track. It just sounded purely annoying and the guy who shouted really made my ear bleed a little. The track pretty much sounded like you had a one tone track and put a lot of distortion and gross beat effect on it though that's probably not what you did.

Though all that said there still are positive stuff in this track. As I said this isn't really my kind ofmusic so that's why I'm being so negative about it.
The percussion is nearly perfect for Drum N Bass and I can actually feel an emotion out of this track though it isn't a pleaseant one, it's an interesting one if you get me.

Sorry for not being able to go in more detail I didn't really like it because i generally don't like this kind of hardcore Drum N Bass music but still I think some lovers of this genre would love it so I'll give you 3.5.

[The Duty of The Magic Box]

I'm jamming to this :D. really nice sounds and I love the melody. I feel like the song is missing a bass sound though. Normally the background saw would work as a bass but for this I really think it should have another saw instrument that's more low pitched as a bass.
Also felt like the song could have used some more variation or dynamic change but that's not such a big deal in this kind of music.

[Idle Starlight]

Talent :o. That's all I can say. Making this after just two months of music is amazing. Seems like you were just blessed with musical talent. Would be an awesome rap instrumental and if there were some lyrics over this it would be epic :D.

[I Don't Mind]

Pretty sure I reviewed the instrumental for this :).
Again, love the groove :). The lyrics are awesome and the rapper is perfect for the track.
Also it sounds incredibly professional :D.
Keep it up. This is going straight on my itunes :D.
Easy 5 stars.

[Lonely]

It's good :). It's sounding really good.
I haven't actually heard the original before but I liked this groove. Could imagine hearing it at a jazz bar or something X3.
I wished there was some kind of lyrics over it though, but I saw below that your working on it so that's okay :).
Can't really give a full score on this as it's just a short loop looping but I still liked the groove so I'm giving you 4.5 stars :)

[Generic House Party]

It was pretty nice :D. I did though feel like it was a bit too repeative even for dance music. It's okay that the same melody play for a period of time but sometimes in your sog I felt like your song could have used some dynamic like a overlaying instrument over the lead just to give it that extra something.
I also felt like the synths sounded very flat. I think a itty tiny bit of reverb on all of them will fix that problem.

I find it wierd that your music has such a low rating actually. It certainly deserves better, but don't let the rating get you down. The most important is what people SAY about your song and I say it's good and funky :).

[Spaceman (Hardwell) Remix]

I'll fix the chain in the R4R thread by reviewing this :).

I think what Chainsawninja is trying to say below is that you shouldn't add the bass in the buildup. at least not at it's most powerful. Try having a weaker bass and weaker kick drum play during the buildup then have the bass and kick at it's most powerful when the drop hits.

I'm not that good with Hardwell stuff though so I'm probably not the best to explain it, but I would advice to listen to some other trap or hardwell-ish tracks and see how they did the drop. At first, try to copy exactly what they did then when you understand the mechanics of it make it your own.

Anyway it's pretty nice for a trap beat it's smooth and pretty cool and chill.
It got dynamics in different part of the songs which makes it awesome to listen too even though it's repeative like a trap beat should.

Here's 4 stars for you :).

MegaMettaurX responds:

Thanks a lot. I'll have to continue studying the techniques used for this current generation of Sound. It's really fun making though. Now I see why Trap took off so well.

[A Motherfucking House Song]

The melody is cool and I the sound of it but I felt that it was a bit to tame for house music.
I know that not all music need a huge drop but I felt that could at least have a little tiny drop or changing the lead.
At 1:08 It sounded like there would be a drop but it never came which disappointed me a bit.

I guess I just like house music with huge drops, but I still do think this was too tame.
It also was pretty repeative. I know House music is supposed to be like that but it sounded like I just listened to the same pattern for 4 minutes without any change in the instrument or the beat.

Still a pretty cool beat though. If you made the beginning into a build up and then transist the song into some kind of supersaw pattern it would be awesome :D.

Thanks for the feedback!
