[-Korp- Maelstrom [Reduced]]

Catchy Stuff

I just take off a couple stars since your filter use in the beginning i personally think didn't fit well, would just do minimal shorter versions of the melody you were using to build tension or something.

The drop has amazing sounds and the drums are fat which is what I really like, more intricate fills will easily make this a top notch dance track! so, in conclusion, just adjust a couple things and this track will be kickin since its already great.

[-Korp- Influx [Beta/WIP]]

This is how trance should be

Making long songs is something I find hard as well, but i actually love the long intro. What I suggest you do is gradually bring in layers like you did around 1:00 and onward, and keep layering very gradually. Make an emotional climax using filters on that lead synth and drop it with a more powerful backing melody than you used. Just suggestions, a very great piece with a great name, but the break around 2:30 should come a bit later and obviously you know the outro needs a change too.

[-Korp- Journey To The Stars]

Near Perfect

The melody in this song is very uplifting and obviously trance like with out being cliche. Theres just a subtle flavor that gives it a personal touch. My only complaint that you really shouldnt even bother to change is how fast and strong the piano comes in after the intro, it should be a bit more gradual and organic. Overall very well done, this song deserves more exporsure and a better rating.

Thanks for the review dude, I'll try to work on this song sometime maybe and make it better.

Tasty bass

Like the guy down below i always pay attention to style more than substance when it comes to music. You have both in this track, the deep ghetto bass is my favorite sound in the whole song, maybe if you do include a climax you could incorporate more of that sound. The vocals maybe need some more thickening and that pad in the background needs a more "dreamy" quality to it if you know what i mean, give the piece a more euphoric feeling i guess, put some arp and additional effects on it maybe.

Being-Glass responds:

Wow its been a long while since I've seen you around!

Thanx for the advice I plan to give this track an overhaul now that I see people want to hear more of this style music from me. This is one of those experimental niches I have developed over the years in writing my music. I have developed a lot of projects inside this style so now its all about going back and polishing them with all my new knowledge in sound engineering. I do need more education in theory that is what I lack.

[Aspiration {Trevor Dericks}]

GOOOD SOUNDS! : )

I know you havent heard from me in awhile but i figured id drop by and shamelessly promote my new tracks : ). Of course this track is amazing, how ambient should be done, all the parts weave together and it sounds very human. The piano part is what makes this track. My only complaint is maybe put some more of those nice sounding glitches in the drums and make them a bit fatter even though know its an ambient song. Overall a very good job!

Being-Glass responds:

At the time of writing the track I actually had to take glitch sections out. The lead director in the videogame thought that they were starting to pull the music to far away from the game environment that he was visioning. None the less he loved the way this loopable track came out. I should make it into a full length track when I have the time. and yes I would definetly get more abstract creative with the percs.

[Th3y]

Might i return the favor?

Good song, very unique actually, at least to me. The synth is creative and the drums are really thick unlike mine. Mastering is actually pretty good in general as well. Only complaint is its a bit short, if it were to go on longer you could take in so many directions.

SteakJohnson responds:

thanks man! yea i never spend too long on 1 song usually.. Thickness comes from lots of layering and processingg

[Concepts in Thought]

Teach ME!

Amazing what you did with the vocals in general. Towards the end is the best...very energetic burst of music. I would however...like to hear the drums a bit more.

Being-Glass responds:

Sure for editing with vocals I sampled them by accident when building my studio teasting inputs through my Kaoss pad running through my sound card. I then brought it into edison to cut and liven it up.

then I run the voice through its own equo, compression and a low pass filter with reverb automation. at the beginning.

I used the automation of the x and y modulation of the lovphilter on low pass to do those fx at the end with a turned up automation of reverb.

I used edison and grossbeat to slice and glitch the track with lots of cutting and pasting pieces of samples in the playlist.

the guitar is a demo model of sakura with a custom built preset. then i run it through distortion and chorus automations to get its crazy fx. the bass and tonal organ are custom built too. the percs are sampled and remastered.

[-Korp- Dawn [BETA]]

Creative

This is definitely something different. My only complaint is it just needs more oomph (bass) other than that everything sounds good.

KorpzeAudio responds:

I agree with you. Thanks for the review dud.
