Good start

For a beginning piece, it's very nice. Instant download. Might have to use this when I get back on board with the club and station.

[Aelias - Eclectic [NG Cut]]

MOAR!!

The provided level of input does not satisfy my required needs!

[EQhaxx]

Awesomeness

I agree, this is like an eargasm! You gotta make a full song based on this! DOOO IIIIIT!!!

[Syndronik]

Not bad kid.

Basshunter much? Still, nice work.

[. Breathe Fire .]

Wicked

This song is very wicked and could be kinda provocative. I definately agree with the belly-dancer comment!

[Atmospheric music.]

Needs work

The overall concept is nice. However, your chord transition at 5 seconds or so is too sharp or abrupt. A little less attack on on the synth and some more release would be a good idea. The chords or notes should blend into each other. The underlying bass could have used a much slower build and could be more subtle in the mix.

So far it's a good idea.

The other problem I have is that the tones are light and airy, then darker, which the baseline confirms but then it switches a less dark tone again. What are you trying to say, or where are you trying to go with the track? What do you wish to convey?

Thanks. I'll use this information to help improve my next song!

[Delution of loopition]

Nyce

Good start. I definately want to hear this when it's done.

Karlssonffs responds:

Ty man! ^^ it should be to long

[Syntax - Natural Instinct]

DnB!!!

Hoover ftw!!

[Breaking Free (Tekno REmix)]

Good, but could be better

What you have here is a great idea. I like the track itself. I think the melody could have used a stronger lead, and much of the sound was somewhat distorted. The synths themselves sound a little boxed, or off-the-shelf, but they work fine. The real problem is with your vocals. She sounds tired. Brightening the pitch could help with this. At times, she seems to veer away from the rythm of the music. An autotuner might help, or re-recording the vocals. Also you might try a pitch bend and compressing the vocals, which can help with the 'tired' sound and such.

Overall though, it's a good start, and a good idea.

thank you for the review.
