[SirKillington Demo Reel 2011]

Wow

I thought shag & scooby were just friends, not...lovers!!! I laughed when you/shaggy said "your whiskers are tickling my balls!" Good job
5/5 & 10/10

SirKillington responds:

Thank you sir!

[Cygnus]

Amazing!!!

Normally when I see the genre, miscellaneous, I get kinda bored with it, but this was amazing!!! I mean just the mood and strings created were excellent

I love music boxes! It has to be one of my favorite instruments because of it's mood and tone, especially if sequenced right by a great artist, and you proved that you are a great artist with such great production.

Since I sometimes make hip hop songs, I'll say that the beat was very fitting with the song. At first I thought "Hmmm." Then I remembered "wait this isn't hip hop" cuz I'm use to hard beats, but it was great none the less.

The strings were great. It was a big part to this song. I mean the orchestral feel was really created and combined with synths, you made something beautiful out of this.

That piano rocked my socks. How those notes were played were excellent and really showed you had good music theory for shizzles.

What can I say, this song had great instrumentation, nice filtering for the fade out, awesome variety, & a very dramatic mood to it. Maybe one day when I get better at FL, since I just got it, we can collab. Overall, fine job here!!!

RetromanOMG responds:

Haha, you noticed this song's secret, kind of. It was originally going to be a HipHop/R&B beat, but made a lot of changes to it.

As for the strings, those are, with the music box and the piano, my favorite instruments to use in music. Thank you for your thoughts.

And someday doing a collab with you sounds great.

[Club Rave (Edit'd)]

Nice song "Charusu"

Hehe, I saw you producing this musical composition :D It's very catchy, little repetitive, but it's short so I'll let it go.

That kick sounds techno, hard, & professional, which I like. The hi-hat kicked in a little late, but I'm ok with that.

The main lead is very sexy, very smooth. Probably my favorite part of the song. The synth around 1:25 is nice, kinda funny that it popped in like that, but nice.

The bass was defintely pumpin' for sure. The bass at 1:11 is the only problem I have. Either the volume was up to high, there were 2 different basses, or it just wasn't compressed for some reason. But either then that compression, it still sounded ok.

Overall, pretty nice song. I would've reviewed this sonner, but I was playing Goin Up ;) Nice one for a 1st one & I tip my hat.

[Rainwave - Dream of Refuge]

Epic!!!

I was just like "Hmmmm, I predict Rainwave should have a new song cuz he's Rainwave & it takes him awhile to make new songs with the amount of effort he uses so let's check cuz it's been forever. Like 2 whole weeks!!! Or something like that." :P

I wen't to your page & I was like "HOLY CRAP, YES, I WAS RIGHT, & THE SCORE IS AWESOME SO THE SONG IS AWESOME AUTOMATICALLY SO AUTOMATIC 5." & I was right to give it a 5, cuz I can't find nothin' wrong with this.

Your GF must have good taste in rhythm & music cuz this is a pretty fast paced rhythm. This reminds of Dream Of Eternity where it goes from happy to happier when everything plays again...oh...wait...I just realized with this sentence that it's spelled almost the same so that's why they're similiar :D

Anyways, the synths are amazing & very dancey-trancey, the beat is moving, the bass is grooving, & the BPM is just right.

I like how you started the song right away. Sometimes I get bored with intro's & sometimes I skip it if it sucks & comment on that. Same with the outro, simple & good with the perfect amount of reverb.

Tell me, I just got FL Studio 10, what VST's do you use. If you bought them, well, I guess I'd still like to know, cuz I love the sound of your songs, but if you somehow got some free, can you send me a PM with the links? Thanx!!!

Overall, great song. You get:

Indigorain responds:

THANKS! :D
Haha, I love your reviews man, they're full of awesomeness :D
As I was making this, it had the same bpm and also a bit of the style of Dream of Eternity, so I thought it would be appropriate to give it a rather similar name!
I got FL9, lately I've been using:
Mostly Nexus2 and Sylenth, a lot of sylenth, practicing a lot more synths from scratch. A bit of V-station and z3ta, but only in rare occasions. And sometimes vanguard. And I havn't bought anything :D
I'll try to send you some links, you could always check google for torrents towards thepiratebay.
Thanks for the votes, the fav, the dl and the SMILEY! :D

[[--Victory Pt 2--]]

Hmmm, I don't know which is better

Part 1 or 2?? Hmm...how 'bout...BOTH!!! Cuz man this song is off the hook, even for just a preview. I think I already heard, I was just to lazy to review & played Goin Up :P

Anyhow, you & O-Prime did great!!! I can't really say who did better, but I'm guessing he was the one on piano, which sounded very touching & professional. Like I said for a review in his song, Time Travel, his piano playing never upsets me.

As for you, that brass never gets old. What I liked about the brass during the piano break is how it was just kinda low then it just popped back in, but with good transitioning.

When you guys made the collab, who did the beat, you, O-Prime, or both cuz either way is sounds awesome!!! Maybe a little to hi-hatty for me, but I did like the hi-hats during the break since there was less of it. But that snare really pops out & you made a good, hard kick.

Overall, great job. With the efforts of both of you guys, this turned out really nice. I mean great FX's, like that 808 bass drop, & more!!!
10/10 & 5/5

DJM00se responds:

i was on that beat, prime was on that piano (TOO MUCH SWAG) . i added that little low sounding brass at the very end while i was listening and i thought it would sound sick and it does haha! prime also had the fx, cause hes a boss with those. anyway thanks for the review!

[So Drastic !]

Man!!!

I've been wondering when a new song by you was gonna come out. Then I saw one of your posts cuz I wondering if there was any info why it's taking so long to get anotha hit here & then I figured out why. But then I go to the hip hop page & see this song by TFreezy with a vote of 4 5's & I got so excited & then I heard this... & IT WAS DA S**T MANE!!!

It's nice how your voice has good clarity. I like to understand what the rapper raps. Sure you were rapping kinda fast cuz I didn't catch a word or two during the song, but it's nice that you can rap fast & fit it in.

Tell WyteNoiz that this beat he made was awesome!!! The actual music was just awesome. It sounded different from other hip hop songs on NG, which I like. I think, just for fun, you should post the instrumental on here cuz if this is going on my I-Pod, it'd be nice to have the instrumental too!!!

Overall, your getting better & better, one of your best songs yet man, keep it up!!!
10/10 & 5/5

TFreezyTFZ responds:

Thanks man ! Ive been R E A L L Y busy with my personal life and i havent had time to sit down and make a track.

And thank you for noticing the quality ! I spend ALOT of time trying to make at sound as perfect as possible. But as for uploading the instrumental, you can just head over to his page, the beat is called "Lemme Hear Ya Say...".

Once again, thanks for the feedback. Its guys like you that let me know im doing the right thing and strive to do better.

[|-Time Travel-|]

Sweet!!!

Glad to see a song with such focus on the melody. It's really nice to hear a change in hip hop from ghetto/pimp to relaxing/dramatic.

The beat fit well with this song. What's great about your songs is that you always have a variety of claps. The only advice I have for the beat is turn the volume up for the beat or just the kick.

The orchestral part of this song was amazing. Your songs sound really professional when you know how to make the mood for the title of the song & that's what you did hear.

It was also nice that you had variety & different pitches with your strings to make the song more interesting.

& I don't know how you compose such wonderful notes on that piano, but you somehow did it again! You managed to make something original that I never heard of.

Overall, this was a really good song. It's songs like this that make you more interested in the genre & artist. Great work!!!

O-Prime125 responds:

Thank you for such an outstanding review, I try my best to vary my kicks/claps and instruments, I always do try new things in my songs to interest the audience, once again thanks a lot!

[Antiskill- Summer Snow]

Yeah boiii!!!

This is what I'm lookin' for from you. Sayin' that I already gave you 2 big reviews, I probably won't make this one as big, but whatever.

Agreeing with MisterJayElectro, it does have a couple spots of repetitiveness, it still has a good amount of variation to it.

Not much else to say. I mean good instrumentation, nice synths, sweet percussions, good sweep FX, great atmosphere, etc. etc.
10/10 & 5/5

YakovlevArt responds:

haha, yeah yeah!
Your are both right, i might have made it a bit long. I wanted that true FULL TRANCE track length.
I will try to watch out on the repetition on my future tracks.
Thanks man!

[Antiskill- Club Life]

Nice!!!

That intro sounded hot right there, man!!! & how it rised so quickly was still good!!! Usually I'm that kinda person that likes a medium length intro from at least :10-1:00 so you made a short intro that I liked.

I like those vocals you added in there, gives the track a mysterious feel to it like it is the nighttime already.

I like how that synth at 1:19 kicked in & it's offbeat, but in a good way. It really gives the song some zest there.

The beat was just nice & simple. I'd expect somethin' a little harder sayin' that this song is trying to be a club song, but it's good enough for me.

The problem I have with this song is that it has small variety in it. Sure, it's a club song, but I think this needs more variety to it if people truly were truly dancing to this.

Either then that, nice job on this one too!!! Give a listen to my latest 3 dance songs, I think you'd like 'em :D
9/10 & 5/5

YakovlevArt responds:

Agree on everything that you said.
I think once i made this melody I knew the mood it created alongside the idea i had for it made me know what I wanted out of this track. Punchy bass and entrancing simple melody.

When making it i thought of the exact opposite you said about the repetition. I've been to raves and clubs. With this i was imagining a rave/ (European)Club people are tripping out of their minds, lasers are flashing, fog to the ceiling and everything is in slow-motion. At this point, one doesn't notice the repetition to a track, they just love the vibration in their chest from the bass...At least that's how i feel =]

Thought I understand where you are coming from. Thanks a bunch for the reviews man, really appreciate it!

[Midnight Madnezz]

That was really nice!!!

What made this better is that it was all hand played & recorded great. I think the drum volume could've been louder, but it had enough variety so no points off for that.

The piano was brilliant. It sounds like I'd be wantin' to dance with my girl in a bar in some kinda DIsney movie or somethin' when they all randomly dance :D At 1st I thought some of the sounded off at 2:17, but I realized with my earbuds they actually aren't.

I think the bass guitar should also have more volume cuz I didn't even know there was one until I read the description & put in my earbuds to hear it. It sounded wonderful, but I think it needs more volume to it.

Overall, nice song. Agreeing with the guy below, maybe some more melodies, but sayin' that this is jazz, you can't really add to much to it. I think your dad would be very proud of you with this song :)
9/10, 5/5, & Fav.

DragonX016 responds:

Thanks for the review! yeah the part at 2:17 honestly took me like 20 takes even though it's straight from 1 to 5/7 chords lol. By that point in the night i was more than halfway through a bottle of Jack...I'm lucky this turned out as well as it did (and that I didn't get the cops called on me for making noise till daylight lol). Ur right-the bass does need to come up a bit. Noted and edited.
