[Journey into Depth]

Trancedustrialtasic

So i just made up a word :P Ok You had alot of good things going on that lead synth really stood out to me. My only issue with this song was your high end...it was a tab bit high. If your familiar with EQing dropp off a bit of the high high end of it that should even things out. And when you said it sounded flat i didn't notice that. It sounded pretty good to me. Keep up the good work and remember lower your high end a tad :)

WarlordXMaster responds:

Comment noted and I will keep in mind for next piece. Thanks for the comment. =)

[Decadence]

THAT....SYNTH!!!

My god that synth line thats suppose to be a guitar sounds like something Sonic Mayhem (Quake 2, Haze) would do. I love it The vocals were decent in the track but i still think more distortion would have improved them (I'm also a distortion nut) This is going somewhere, everlooked into doing music for video games?

midimachine responds:

I would LOVE to do music for video games. Ever since I started making music it's been something I've wanted to do (among other things).

Thanks for the kind words again :)

[Dragon On Salvia]

good ol Salvia!!

I've done a bit of that subststance and this track kinda represents the mood and feel. The glitch vocals are pretty cool, though if you want a really good glitch VST get dBlueglitch ;) And I agree with Prothetic on this one about Doupting Thomas its like a soundtrack. Awesome work

Oavatos responds:

hehe I've got dblueglitch in my VST's already. it's really nice. And hehe went to go check out Doubting Thomas. had no idea it was side project by skinny puppy members.

[Mechanical Suppression]

Not a bad start

The track has alot of potential as a trance song but this is not industrial. Its got the distorted hats but the rest is trance.Not saying this is a bad track just it could go further with a bit more focus into the middle of sections of the track and the general body. Keep it up

Reticence responds:

It's way too slow to be trance. 80 bpm.

[THIDM]

Dark, forboding and evil

This soundsl ike something out of a horror movie. Awesome production and portrayal of emotion. The big distorted hit ats to the mood even more. You need to make this longer please. Theres nothing bad about this song besides that

[Piano Macabre v1.1]

STOCK!?!?!!?! NOOOOO!!!!

Oh man this could have been amazing!! Your using all stock sounds without effects on them to boot. Try Dling some torrents with sound packs. And that High hat sound gets tiresome after a bit. Your snare sounds to flat as well, i know your still working at it but try dling VSTS and sound packs. With the proper sounds this could be pretty killer :)

[Drillcore]

It burrowed

I like this alot, im a big fan of distorted music so this is right up my alley, the contrast between clean sounds and noise mayhem is crazy. Though add more GLITCH!!!! This track could go far and speaking of which im going to spin this the next time i Dj :)

[The Bottomless Well]

Industrial twang

HAHA i dunno what to say. Its got a cool 8 bit vibe to it something from NES days. And your right the intro does take some getting used to. Its not a bad piece but im not sure i could get into this one. The percussion is well done and those deep hit sounds around the 4:30 mark add a nice touch.

svinepels responds:

Thanks! It's been a while since I made it.

[Red Ocean (Old)]

Epic

Alright theres not much more to say that hasn't already been said. I wish i had better headphones to listen to this stuff at work with but unfortuanatly i got a ear bud in one ear so ill do my best at reviewing this.

A) The intro seemed to have alot of dead space at the beginning but then again could have been the headphones.

B) I'm not to sure if this is classified as industrial more so than a classical or maybe Neo Classical ( I know im going out on a limb with that one)

c) As for track flow it moved nicely everything seemed to fall into place and nothing seemed "off" so to speak in the song. Your levels were good and the production quality was up there.

D) and finally add more of an outro, either like what donald said or add a soft drone to end it off with. Good work ill give you a 10 for this piece.

[A Monumental Deceit]

this is what im talking about!!!:D

Awsome song man!!! I like the build up to the break beat. And the classical feel you add makes the songs. This is something from a video game or movie from the sounds of it

midimachine responds:

I was listening to stuff by my friend Sean (who gets paid for producing and composing his orchestral music, the lucky bastard!) and he does a lot of film score sort of stuff so I drew a bit of inspiration from there.

I wish I had some good orchestral soundfonts though. EastWest make amazing ones but its something like $1000 for the bigger packages. Right now what you're hearing is basically GM with some multi-band dynamic processors and very liberal EQ!

Many thanks for the kind words once again! Can't wait to hear your stuff once it makes its way up here :)
