[In A Trance Redux]

Meh...

Sounds a bit cheesey at some points.
Too much of one instrument, but the distribution's good.
Sounds like a remix of Darude's Bitter Sweet. If it is, I like the rmx better than the OM ;)

[AuECS-One Minute]

ttly awesome

This is like my fav. house song from you. I don't really know what else to say besides the fact that this is da bomb!!!
Btw, is it a remix of "One Minute Man"? I tried to search up the lyrics and the closest to it was that. What are the lyrics anyway?

Auecs responds:

Shhhhhhhhhh. nobody is supposed to know I samples that song... haha.

I did this song on a friend's computer and he happened to have this acapella sitting on his hard drive. Personally I really dont like the original song so I Fucked with the vocals a lot trying to hide it.

Yeah. I dont remember the lyrics but if you lurk around you should be able to find them.

Thanks for your input!

[Nova (DemoEdit) (TR-Records)]

Nice job

I know this song is like ... one and a half years old, but I really liked this remix version of Nova Breathe by Daniel Kandi.
I'm not sure if this is the final version of TR-record edit, but I'd certainly like to hear to full version. I think there's another one so I'll go check that out.

[Requiem For a Dream (DnB MMix)]

Yup, epic right here ppl

This is FKN SWEET!!! So, this is what you've been working on lately?
I like the intro, because the original didn't have one (at least my version doesn't anyway). It's kinda a spooky/eerie kinda remix, whileas the original was more majestic. The main string that you used is probably the part I didn't like most. It really isn't a violin-like sound, like the original. It needs to be smoother and softer. All I could think was that it sounded like wasp, instead of strings.
The build-up should be more meaningful (sorry for the poor choice of words, but that's all I could come up with).
Also, in the main pattern, between the second last and the last note, there shouldn't be a rest there.
Besides that, pretty good for a DnB, especially when you're only starting on the genre. Ever thought of doing more remixes of other songs? Like sandstorm or PoE(which apparently it's the "cool thing" to do).

Mrmilkcarton responds:

I'm limited on my strings and can only get so much out of them sadly. As for other remixes I don't think I'll be doing the ones you suggested antime soon.

[Paradise on E (Karco Remix)]

Another remix???

Wow, first off I'd like to say, how many remixes do Ng people plan to make of a single song? There's a few Weekend has come remixes out there for what ever reason that isn't entirely clear with me, and a few other remixes of other songs, both outside Ng and from Ng. But still, PoE has been out, what? 2 years I think now? Well, good work takes time, I guess.

Anyway, on with the song. Great intro. It was just so ... perfect. I actually expected a bell intro, like the original by B0UNC3, but the change has been quite dramatic and brought in a change to the song, which is the whole purpose of making a remix.

The lead. Well, I'll be damned. You have amazing ears. To create and replicate the original lead like this? Just amazing. I was expecting/hoping that there'd be more use of the original lead throughout the song though. There needs to be MOAR!!!!! lol

Great drums and hits and all the rest. Though there's something about it that doesn't feel right. Probably the quality rate of it. If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to hear the full quality version of this remix.

I do apologise if these things have been said before by prior reviewers - afterall, some big names have reviewed here before me. Great job on this track. 10/10

Karco responds:

Heh. I don't know about the others, but I just did it to prove that a remix of a cheesy song doesn't have to be cheesy. ;D That and I wanted the popularity a bit. XD

Yep, the intro is one of my favorite parts in the song. :O

The lead actually isn't mine, it's a Nexus preset, used almost raw. XD It's only a coincidence that it sounded so similar to B0UNC3's lead.

I'll PM you with the full quality version later. :)

Thanks a lot for the review, it's always good to get someone else's opinion even if it's already been said before - it reinforces the point and makes it more necessary for me to remember to pay attention to it next time. ;) Glad you liked it!

[Psybot - Dreaming strings]

Mmmm violin....

Don't listen to what they say about the violin part being repetitive. In professional music orchestrals they play violin almost all the time throughout the duration of the song.
I wish I had your violin settings on FL8. Yours and Waterflame's. X3 Fkn epic man, fkn epic!

[[Solitude] (Mastered)]

ZOMG EPIC!!!11!!!!1

Argh! It's a shame that you didn't have the time to master it into this one for the FL Core comp. I still voted the original track in the comp though. X3
I like this one. I don't really know how to say it but I love you!!! Oh, wait, wrong line. Umm ... Oh yeah, I can't really spot out anything that requires improvement. This is, I wouldn't say better than the original, but different, in a good way.
(Is it just me or does it give a surround sound kinda feel?)
<3

[[TMM43] Por Que No]

Nice

0:27-0:29 was exactly like the beginning of "Sytrus" by MrMilkCarton. Is it some kind of preset loop that was already in FL or something? I also heard a few other things throughout the song that sounded exactly like parts from other songs - not a whole piano roll or anything (cuz that'd just be stealing work and you wouldn't do that lol) but more like the channel setting, did they give that to you, was it already in the sample presets, or did you just miraculously made it on your own?
It is pretty repetitive though, find something new to add to it. And more channels to play more tunes too.
What does the name mean btw?
Also, can you review my song?

Just be honest, it's my first so anything at all will be greatly appreciated. <3

[Your Eyes (Original Mix)]

Progressive

Karco: But yeah, great job F-777. :D
lolz, it happened again. Sry, couldn't resist.
Anyway ... (lul) It was a bit slow to start, which was kinda annoying for me when I'm in my impatient mood, but it was great and meaningful. It was pretty repetitive during the first few minutes, I must admit, but you spreaded it out in the right way that made it sound good.
Love the lead at 3:00. I noticed that little quiet back ground noise, which I couldn't really identify as to what it was, but you need to bring that up more I reckon. It was so quiet that I barely noticed it.
And what's with the classical turn at 5:00? At least you rescued it at 6:20. X3
Overall, a great piece. I think that's long enough for a review.
Keep up the good work, and come on msn dammit.

Mrmilkcarton responds:

Karco pulled that joke too. I need a little practice with structure and transitions. Adding more atmosphere could of done some justice to the repetition and made it more of an interesting listen. Thanks for the review.

[~EnV~Heaven Rd. 3]

The epic continues...

Nice man. But I thin you should've used the intro from Rd.1 and mixed it a little more smoothly. But it's still super-ultra-mega awesome though.
