That's fantastic to hear that you believe the quality sounds professional. I do my best to try and get it that way. And I also enjoy seeing what the stats were when you wrote this review. Quite nice ^_^
Thanks for your 0.00093 and 5 and 10 and ALL this supportive jazz :D

[-td_ Where House Xtndrmstv.03]

haha

I instantly laughed when you talked about "'where house' when writing me a review. Good name XD.

As for the song, it is really cool, good house worthy percussion and the overall mastering is good enough. My only complaint might be the fact that it is a little bit ambient at some times. Like the guy below me said, try to figure out a melody for the track, and then work a way towards that melody (the intro), and away from it (the outtro).

By the way I loved that drum variation you did at 00:13, sounds cool. Such things should be focussed at in my opinion haha.

10/10 5/5 from me here.

[Backstabber - F-777]

Trancestep

I like the song.
Also your previous songs are amazing.
But it does feel like you are not improving anymore :/
For months it is the same mastering, the same structure, and the same effects that you put in a song. You can hear it already at the first 2 seconds that it is a creation by you. Nothing wrong with that, only if it would improve in quality :/.

I think you are on its best at the dance section.
Your tracks are a bit too jumpy to be called trance.
Also your dubstep is not bad, but it contains way too much trancy and dancy elements. Especially this one has got quite a lot of trance in it.

I wont call you a sell out artist like the guy below me, but dubstep is not really your genre according to what i''ve heard and compared with other pieces of your work.

I would recommend you to improve the quality even more (and dont get me wrong, your quality is still better than mine haha). Im just telling this because im starting to notice a long loong horizontal line according to quality in your tracks.

Best wishes,
PotencY

well..

You sure seem to know a lot of things about music.
If you programmed this yourself, then you are well on your way to become semi professional. There are many songs out there that use preset samples. They might sound a bit better, but again, it are samples.

However, the quality of your programmed synths are somewhat low quality.
Except for these bells at the beginning. Perhaps you should look for tutorials on youtube. They offer high quality tutorials and come along with better VSTI plugins. 3xOSC is rather old. I only use it to make sidechained noise haha.

Well good job on this one. It should take a while to make something like this.
Hope my review helps.

DJSpire responds:

Oh, I know that 3xOsc is reaallllyy old. I just felt like challenging myself and writing a song written using only 3xOsc with only sounds I programmed myself.

I think that the first arpeggiating lead synth is low quality, but the bass (imho) is really good. I like it, to say the least.

But I definitely think that the second lead synth that I put in is of higher quality than the first. I think it's kinda an anthem sound. Like, anthem trance. Something like that.

I've got a decent amount of higher quality VSTis, and use them on a regular basis. I program pretty much everything other than drums in all of my songs from scratch, unless I'm using a dreaded Nexus sample. Haha!

Honestly, though, I really only spent about 6 hours on this. If I went back and spent a few more hours polishing it up, I could make the synths shine with beauty. And I could make a better mix. I'm just a little too lazy at this point, plus my ears are burnt out on making music. I released 4 tracks this past week.

I'll come back in about a week to make this piece shine. I'll PM you then :)

Though, to be honest, I cannot find a snare sample that I like with this song. It's really kinda pissing me off. Know any good sample CDs for snares that are really punchy, but have tone to them? They're not just white noise. I need something like that, with a lot of tone, kinda in the 200Hz area, both short and long. That would be beauteous.

[Song of Storms Remix [mod15]]

jesus

All of me below, can you shut the hell up ?
This lad has made the Top 5, be happy for him.
We all know NG isn't that good at picking our very best artists all the time.
So why would you call this song bad or even compare it with songs of our best music artists here. Are you guys retarded ?, give him a break.
As for the song itself, it is by far not that bad as they say.
Not worth the top 5 indeed, but why bragging along about it people...

I wont give you much criticm about this song cause you pointed out that you have better songs. I will listen to them after I finished this review.

Anyhow, concratulations on your top 5.
4/5 8/10.

[Into the Ocean [collab]]

Whew

This really really nice.
I used to know paperman/dj kooz but he probably changed his msn or something.
Do you have any idea how to contact him vice ?.

Again, this is really really great, nice mastering and really good melodies.

5/5 10/10,

I probably laughed my balls off 0_o

[Naruto - Hokage's Funeral]

uh..

So is this copy pasted straight out of your PS2 ?
Or did you make it yourself ?
And I also mean this with your other songs.

Copyright abuse? or pure epicness ?
