Dear fine fellow:

I see that you are possibly interested in receiving copious amounts of American currency. You are pardoned for being "too slang". I understand that the deprived wasteland that is Urban Society. I am here to outstretch an caring arm towards you, my dearest musical colleague, to come aboard my luxurious Gulfstream G650 Business Class Airliner. My busty attendants will take you towards perfection. However, within the confines of urban construction, you are clearly unrivaled. My dearest friend, we must go! We shall take to the blue air expansive, and we will partake in any luxury we desire. I bid you farewell, and a proper vote.

Your dearest friend and colleague,
Xayro Q. Seversky, Ph.D., Esquire

Love, your dearest friend,
Xayro Seversky

Improvement is fantastic.

The composition here is good, and on par with most other jumpstyle tracks. I'm fairly impressed. The big complaint here is mixing and mastering. The track itself is clipping like crazy and it's distorting everything in the song.

Assuming you are using FL Studio, set every individual instrument in the song to a separate mixer track and adjust volume levels. Also put a master compressor on the master, it'll help a lot. Screw around with the master EQ a bit also.

However, as mixing and mastering is the absolute hardest part of being a producer, I can't take points off for that. The composition is awesome, other than I think the kick might be off-key, but I can't tell because of how distorted it is from the mixing/mastering.

Try to clean this song's technical things up, and it'll be perfect. I'm impressed my friend. Keep improving. You've got a lot of potential.

hehe thanks bro and i know =.= mastering is hard

"Yes the lead sound is from a sequence on nexus 2. Sounds lazy but I really enjoy the synth that it has."

10'd for this alone. Too many producers focus on "WHY THE HELL IS HE USING PRESETS. 0." but honestly, if a preset sounds good, and its just about what you were aiming for, especially in nexus where you can edit the synth hardly at all, use it! We payed for the VST, we can use it how we please. It's only wrong/lazy if you're doing it because you're too lazy to try to aim for what you want by fusing VSTs or tweaking your own with just one VST.

There is /no/ wrong method with music. What sounds right, is right. What sounds good, is good.

I have no actual complaints. The song is a little generic in flavor, but for what it is, its pretty good.

Thanks for the review mate. Yeah, I agree, the presets are there for you to use >.>, so why not use them?!? I also agree it's a little generic, but all my songs are. I focus on the quality of the music and sounding good (having a good lead, rhythm, etc.) more than I focus on beat inversions, intricate rhythms, etc.

So much potential

Ok, I love the vocalist. I usually claim that vocals are merely icing on the cake, but the vocals make this song, and the rest with him in it. Keep using him. He's fantastic for electro-pop.

I know man he's a diva! I actually feel bad that he doesn't have anyone else but me to work with. My programming skills are mediocre. He's out of my league!

Loving this

You're a freakin' master of hardstyle, my friend. May I ask what effect that is between :11 and :18 roughly? I've heard it before, and I've never been able to achieve it myself yet.

ephixa responds:

digital lo fi, I use the VST bit crusher. you can download it from my website if you want it

Great Atmosphere

Amazing track, I bet adding some vocals could go great with this, but the atmosphere and total feeling is great. Keep up the great work

DJ-Dender responds:

Thank you very much !

Damn, sir.

I'm usually not terribly impressed personally with a lot of the productions on here, and music is a subjective art with no good or bad or rules, but this /really/ caught my interest. It may just be the title, but it reminds me slightly of "I Love You" by CosmicMan, a trancish-dance track that was featured on a few Finnish (If I remember right) compilations.

Now, in my opinion, I don't really like some of the synths you used, but, as I stated, music is subjective, as it is an art, so I'm sure you designed it that way for a reason. The composition is gorgeous. Please keep this up.

United by melody,
