Pretty Good

But you won't get away without some of my "music theory bitching".
Genre bitching.
Don't take it as any offense or anything (read the text with a friendly voice), but I'm pretty fed up with people who submit non-techno tracks into the techno section. If people submitted techno only into the techno section, there would be 500 tracks maximum.
You guessed it, this is not techno... It's more like a mix of jungle (which goes to the drums and bass section) and ambient trance (which DOES go to the ambient section).
This portal needs more genres, and genres that gives every track a home.
And genre moderation.

But the track dammit, I'm acting like I'm starting a damn forum thread.
The composing and arranging conquers 70% of the AP people.
The mixing and mastering put you over 80% of them.

The sound production and synth programming vastly n00bifies 98% of the AP producers...

Also, more automations n' shit than in certain of my tracks.

Tell me... Tell my what you use to create these. You might've said it before, but my memory is pretty fucked.

(Techno is music based on drums, inharmonic, smooth, repetive and very percussive (Trance nor jungle is a subgenre of techno (don't do it again (excuse me (it's still good (:D (Very good)))))))

I love the beepy, arpy effect the last 2/4 before the bass chord pad comes in.

LaymanLove responds:

haha! I freakin love your reviews. I guess you're right, it ain't techno, but it isn't really ambient either. And there is definitely no arguing that there is a serious lack of genres to pick from. Take my newest song Mesmerized. You think I WANTED to throw that in Misc? Pshhhhhh. Oh well. Thanks for the review, glad you enjoyed it.

Oh ya, for this track (and most of mine) I used a Korg Triton for the 'tekno organ bass' synth and all the drum tracks. Reason 3.0 (namely the malstrom synthesizer) for most of the leads and other synths, and I use Cubase SX to mix, master, edit, and automate. Whew...

Better than usual...

It's sure better than most other ap submissions, but 1) it still sounds horrid and 2) there is a pop category.
People should learn what techno is generally but this is totally crazy.

You're good too!

Well after recieving your fine reviews, i can only think of writing back. Excuse the numbers below, but a 10 from me is as rare as fatass rain in central sahara. Even 7s are very uncommon. So don't worry. You know, I'm a really serious prick with a sense of voting with my brain and not only sensibly.
Seriously, I'm not a boring 0-voter fucktard, but neither am I a 5-voter. Unless... I find pieces like this...

A nice little piece of Ambient Techno/Ambient Trance is it? Very smooth layers and very good drum sounds. Also like the synth bells. A lot.

Fuck the underrating! 5/5. Justice to be set!

LaymanLove responds:

Dude, your direct style and honesty are as welcome as fatass rain central sahara. Thx for the review. Glad you liked it.

Average

1. Detuned saw leads are overused and should be extincted. They're to simple, to n00bish, and sounds like shit.
2. The ride is to loud. A 1/16 closed hat with stereo shifting would be much better.
3. The square bass sounds offtone. Which is bad.
4. The deep noise fx makes the compression crap out.
5. The unisoned saw in the beginning sounds far too detuned.
6. Good snare and bass drum though ^^ (if they're analog). Drum composition good in general (except for the ride and missing sixteener).
7. I expectected more effort on the pads.

That's my critique. I hope you find it helpful. ^^

PERVOK responds:

Thats not really critique. Thats you trying to tear my technique to shreds.

Bleh...

Some notes are placed extremely wrong. Excuses but this sounds shitty. And so samplish... If you're to make trance or ambient you gotta learn how to operate analog synthesizers...

I would add it to the miscellaneous...
I wouldn't add it at all.

Work harder.

MTS069 responds:

thank you for your review you SHIT HEAD. I TRIED MY FUCKING HARDEST, IM NEW AT THIS SHIT. overall rating 2? WHY 2. ASS HOLE!

Yep

Wierd harmonics, daring tone choises.
Original, but sounds unpolished at some points...
Plus it isn't trance. I would add it to the DnB section since this is some kind of jungle.

Damn, it clicks at some points >_<

Work on it, and good anyway.

Made with reason, right? The fx is a patch, right? RIGHT??? You didn't do it! That fx is used in one of the demo songs too.

Quite good, anyway.

poo-on-you responds:

I made it in fruity loops.
