Fitting title

Keep it up!

Could be much more polished

This is a pretty good song in general, I have some suggestions though: Bring the bass down a little, listening to this with headphones/logitech speakers, it sounds a little too loud and drowns out the drums. The kick should be a little bigger in my opinion, if you're trying to make a good trance track the kick needs to be pounding and loud. Also that reverse cymbal thing? That could be better. At least add a reverb/delay to the crash cymbal because it sounds like it ends a little too quickly. Also what was that from 1:03 to 1:09? That was a little weird and it threw me off a lot. Add lots of filter sweeps and some FX here and there, just to give it a bigger atmosphere. If you cushion your main lead synth with a reverb it will sound much bigger and not stop so abruptly like it did a few times in the song. Overall, it's a good start but it could be so much better. :P
(also please read my response to your Abridged review!)

inhstudios responds:

Yeah, I've actually updated it since, i should reupload it.

EDIT - didnt upload the newer version.
instead i decided to start from scratch and remaster the whole thing.

[Krowe - Juggernaut]

I LOVE THIS

You're awesome :D
Dubstep is one of my favorite genres. This song is one of the many reasons why.
Also, that was one of the best drops I've ever heard dude. This just makes me happy xD
Keep up the good work.

KroweMusic responds:

I'm happy that you're happy :D

[Turn Out the Lights]

Cool.

I like this, it's nice and relaxed.
The whole feel is nice and mellow. I honestly didn't think of trance as being the genre when I listened to this, it feels too relaxed for me :P
Great song though! Keep making stuff like this, it sounds awesome :D

-SL-

9/10
4/5
FAV'd for sure :D

YakovlevArt responds:

Thanks a lot for the review.

This is probably the most relaxed trance song i made. Instead of uplifting trance, if there was 'chill trance' or 'relaxed trance' this would be it, i guess, haha.
Again thanks for your review and I'm glad you lied the track.

[KKS - 04. Apeiron (remix)]

WOOT WOOOOOOOT

You, sir, have won the internet.
This is really awesome. Epic win is epic.
No words to describe how amazing this is D:
I still have to do one more track and I will try and make it at least be half as awesome xD
But yeah, good work. This is really going to stand out in the split release :D

-SL-

100/10
500/5
FAV'd
DL'd of course. :D

KKSlider60 responds:

Haha, I imagined your reaction to this track yesterday and it's very close to my expectations. XD
Glad you enjoyed it ;)
I still have to decide about bonus tracks or not. My total effort clocks at around 20 minutes.
Oh the split title could just be "KK Slider / 5kyLight", for example, what do you think?
Thanks dude, you rawk ^^

[[DJ_ITD] - WutDuhFuk]

Awesome

Sounds really good, I have a couple suggestions:
The snare in the whole beginning is just a little too loud in my opinion, other than that though it's a great song :D
You told me to listen to this for an example of some things I could use to improve my music, and I have to say it's helped. So thanks :D
Keep it up!

-SL-
9/10 because it's a little messy :P
4/5
FAV'd for sure :D

djInTheDark responds:

That's indeed a good idea and believe me I am certianly not the best example to follow in my mind. There are much better producers out there so take my suggestions witha grain of salt (or a bucket). Keep up your work! You have much more promise than I do. :P

[This song needs a title]

Epic

I am going to be super lame and not supply a title but I will say that this song is awesome. I like it a lot :D
One of the things I love so much about Reason is that it has super realistic instruments/samples.

Also I laughed really hard at your response to the Enchanted Rituals comment. xD

KKSlider60 responds:

Lol, I can't believe it's from almost a year ago. So many things have changed...
Thank you for this review ;)
KKS

[Apeiron]

Haha, awesome.

I like this a lot! Reminded me a little of Ghost in the Shell (which is awesome btw).

-SL-

10/10
5/5
FAV'd
DL'd for sure :D

PS maybe we could include this in our split release? It seems to fit the general atmosphere and it's really good. also it would give me an excuse to make another track for the album LOL

KKSlider60 responds:

Sure thing ^^ Then, I'll switch this as a bonus track instead of Warm Feeling.
And... you know Ghost in the Shell?? *_* I love Yoko Kanno's works! Every single one!
They so influence me... =D

[KKS - 01. Launch]

Awesomeness. As usual.

Sorry the previous review got sucked away in cyberspace D:
This is a really great song. That one instrument in the background (lol it's ambient stupid) really reminded me of the dynamic duo Pitch Black for some reason. Don't know why. It just did. But good job on this one! I didn't like the intro too much (just that one super-simple synth), but it quickly added more instruments so it all sounded good in a moment or two. Good work as always, and yes I will stop slacking and get song #2 on here before sundown xD

KKSlider60 responds:

Lol, take your time, don't rush things if you're afraid to make a mess ;)
Thanks man, see you
