[Never Ever Again]

meharific.

it was pretty awesome. some quick questions though. what distortion do you use and what drum program you use and what do you resord your music. cuase i wanna start putting stuff on ng. i have about 5 completed song and i have no clue were to get drum progrAMS AND RECORDING PROGRAMS SO I MIGHT AS WELL ASK YOU. ANY WAYS GREAT SONG LOVE THE RIFFAGE sorry caps lock. i love it towards the end kinda reminds me of Black Label Society. anyways good job . and you better respond back.

GoreBastard responds:

No, I will not respond back............

BAAA!!! Yeah, here's what I use to make my stuff:

Acoustica Beatcraft.
This is the drum program that I use. You can get a 7 day trial from Acoustica.com
It's pretty cool but the best thing to do is get some better drum samples because the default one's are not too great.

Line 6 Guitar Port.
This device is awesome. It's basically a multi amp/multi effects guitar plugin for your computer. You plug your guitar in and select what amp model you want! It's well worth the money. Awesome piece of kit!

Cubase SX.
I use cubase to piece all of the songs together. Upload the drums, the record over them with the guitars, and there you have it! A SONG! YAY!!!

Anyway, cheers for listening mate! I'll look forward to hearing your stuff if you can get the right equipment!
Thanks for reviewing!

I hope I've helped you in some way!

[Draze - Neverland]

this is one of your greatest works. seriously.

you starting to piss me of. lol your so damn good. see i would submit stuff here cuase ive been djing since i was 10 and im 27. i dj at the local clubs. and is it okay if i use some of your songs at the clubs. anyways onward to the review of this song.

8 originality- pretty popular song and alot of people are starting to remix/remake this sogn so its not that original cuase everybody is doing it. but you were one of the first to remix the song so ill give you an 8.

10 diversity- thiss song is always chcangeing from difrent synths, effects * the filters and parametic eq's* * you know how i know this stuff cuase i produce music for 17 years. and i dont use programs i use real time equipment. i have 7 thousand bucks worth of equipment. im starting to get into fl studio.i have fl studio 6.0.2 xxl edition * and im composeing on it its alot cheaper and has alot of options to.*legaly purchased*.

10 clarity- becuase the fiddleing around with the filters made the clearity either muffled or real live sounding wich i good it showes you know how to work the filters and eq.

10 effort- a superb job. it sound like it took you some time to compose this.

10 overall - im pissed cuase your so fucking good and your only 19 if you continue this by the time your 25 youll be better than me ......almost cuase by then ill be learning some awesome stuff to. and good job.

email me some time at [e-mail]

Draze responds:

By the way, i'm not 19 i'm 17 ;)

[(0_0)]

pretty good .

originality 8 - not that original. basic beat no breaks. there is one synth that is like a bass its to loud and doesnt fit.

diversity 7 - not that divverse oter than the orchestral piece and a hit.

clarity 8 - its that synth that realy annoys me. that looses some clarity in the song but good job with that.

effort 6- well it seems to me with this song you didnt spend much effort. same with the kick i just dont like it its a bit to clicky for me.

overall 8- a mixture of video game style music and techno. good job this isnt one of your best tracks though. keep produceing music.

Syntrus responds:

mr.Danafex please check out somthing i did that was better

[Draze & 666 - Super Fly [CRMX]]

hey dj gridlock.

you are my friend a little imature dumbass.yeah mr 13 year old lets see you do something better than DRAZE. he composed/produced a wonderfull piece of techno music. and i no this will sound childish but if he went to an all girl school then he would get action every other day. no draze my reviews to your song.

8 originality- well the vocals are from Alligator vs. darude vs.Fragma - Tocastorm. but i like what you did with the slide tool with your lead synth and you just adjusted the pitch the went back to normal. the beginning build up was just right not to short and not to long.

7 diversity- not that diverse other than a couple breaks ad pitch adjustment. and at the end the lead synth. still better than mr. 13 year old flamming you. the only complaint i have is that the kick is just kicking its self through the song.

9 clarity- the song if very clear and pretty crisp and nothing is crowding the other synths/kicks/vocals.

9 effort- it shows that u put in an arse load of time in this song and look at the outcome its stupendous.lol.

other stuff- plz review my review,and dont get discouraged if anyone trys to beat you up just call me and ill fly over to the uk and help beat the shit out of them. plz review my review. and hit to the clubs with this.

Draze responds:

Hey thanks for ya awesome reviews dude.

I really agree with everything you said there. I don't really spend much time on kick breaks ect. My kicks tend to just limp through the song :P unless theres a complex pattern.

"if he went to an all girl school then he would get action every other day" haha yeah X_x its just so true.

I'd like to hear ya own stuff man, you clearly have a high standard :)

[Bounce it!--_--(1:37)]

do i hear a benni bennassi remix...

you did a realy good job remixing his song. i like your bass.i am a dj and ive been 1 for over 15 years. i do real time music produceing and im starting to get into fl studio/reason/dance ejay cuz its ALOT cheaper could you give me some suggestions on what programs to buy.

ah yes back to your song... in the riff after the vocals do i hear a detuned saw. and im glad you didnt use a snare/clap in your drum beat becuz the claps are a little overrated. i like at the end your controlled kick roll. your comprssion was good .

clarity- the bass yes we all love the bass but it drowned the voice out a little bit same with the ride.

compression tip- this is just a tip of mine with compressors that i do alot.when produceing music turn your volume of your instruments realy low about 1/4 of the way down to 1/8 of the way down. then your beats dont even go close to the red line. you then do a double compressor move. you can use a blower style,optov style what ever you perfer. thus giveing you your volume with out maxing out.then just start expirimenting.

effort-i gave you effort a 10 becuz you did a good jorb remixing this song.

originality- a 6 becuz everybody (oowe owe this is the hyperbole police were going to lock you up for saying that EVERYbody remixes this song) fine ALOT of poeple remix/remake/cover this song so you know your not the only 1 so thats y u got a 6.

diversity-not much other than a detuned saw and a break with your generic trance beat and a ride in there. any ways

overall-9 becuz no one is perfect but you did a superb jorb with this. im ..im proud of you son..lol.

anyways plz respond with another long ass review like you do with alot of ppl.

PERVOK responds:

Haha, alright. I'll do some explaining, siknce you gave me tips on stuff I can already do...

The HORRID compression job was on purpose. I tried to make it sound like crap, since thats what Benny does.

Yeah, it crowded out the voice, but it got the effect, no?

And this was not a remix of a Benny Benassi song, it was a song that I did that was inspired by Benny. So, my song, but in his style.

Thanks for the review, I appreciate it.
