It lacks something...

It seems empty. There's not much bass. It needs that full bodied magnitude that only wide waves can give you. And the voice seems off beat, but that was probably intentional. Keep it up, and finish the remix while your at it ^^

DJ-VIZ responds:

It does lack some instruments...but bass? the whole song is bass....

Get FL!!

Seeing as the piano is the only instrument you like on Garage Band (i'm not a stalker, i just looked at the other piano loop) i guess this is O.K. It's a nice melody, but the taping with the key strikes it getting annoying. Much velocity?
Now here's a tip. Get Fruity Loops Studio 8. You can get a demo for free, that's fully functional except there's no save feature, so if you make a song you have to make it in one sitting. I see some amount of potential, and a better program will probably help. Hope i was of service

You get a 7/10 for the effort, and for the fact that i'm probably going to steal the melody now. Get FL, and make something that gets my 10 for being awesome.

I have FruityLoops... I just have no idea how to use it whatsoever. :P

Sugary Sweet

That's some straght up uplifting trance right there. Awesome job, I can practically taste the music (if that makes any sense at all). It all fits together wonderfully. I might not have made it 5 minutes long, after a while i started to get a sense of deja vu. Sweet song.

Gloudas responds:

thanks man!

hahaha hehehe

So... much... awesome... too... much...
Ahh, now that it's stopped and my head isn't almost exploding from sheer awesome, this is definetly one of the best dance songs on newgrounds. I'm only sad that those days are long past. I would download this and rave to it regularly, but i would probably blush uncontrollably if anyone was watching. Excellent work. If only there were more good songs like this on newgrounds. Loved the Mario finish.

Loving the vocals

I loved the vocals. I'm not sure about the rest of the song, but just adding the vocals gets you a ten out of ten. If you're going to put vocals into more of your songs, which you're going to (pleas?!) try to get a nice female voice. I dunno about you but i like a woman's voice much better. And add more vocals for that matter. This was still primarily synth for melody. Try to make a song where the voice leads almost the whole song (if not the whole song). Keep up the great work.

A question...

Great song, but i was wondering, is it possible to have actual dynamics? Not just the usual substitute of more or less voices, but actual dynamics? I find the biggest setback on all my beloved electronica is that there are no dynamics. Its the only thing that keeps me from downloading all these songs.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Sweet stuff. Keep up the great work, and look into adding more dynamics than just those that you get from having more or less instruments. It would make this that much more epic if it was ~~ (up and down) instead of --- (straight forward).

Question

Was this all made on a whim, or did you just improvise one part and build the rest around it? Because i can't see how this could be completely improvised, not without blowing my mind.

Drawoh responds:

ok, let me explain.....
only one melody in the whole song was not created from improvisation, and thats the melody on piano that u may hear three times in the song, based on that melodys musical scale I started improvising the whole rest of the song.... that was made on a whim as u may say :P

oh, thx for the review by the way :)

What a floaty song...

You've got the whole celestial trance thing down pat. But the biggest downfall of trance is that its so... nice. Now make something intense! Please?

What to say...

A perfect (as far as people are concerned) blend of classic ambience and electric rage. Still can't see anything wrong with it. I envy you and your amazing talent. Now if only i had some amount of influence in the world so i could offer you a record deal or something...

West is my surname, as in the direction on the compass. Hence, Dj Compass! Music is my passion. I love love love it. So one day i bought FL. Hopefully i'll buy a nice VST one of these days... Images by Mysterious-Wind of deviantArt. Check out her art ^^
