Different?

It wasn't anything totally unheard of.
But I liked it. The heavy-drums-section went in well with the other instruments.

Good dynamics, too. Sometimes a break in the song's flow here and there make a good song a great song.

Slow buildup

It's a drumkit, and bass for like a minute and a half- but then the addition of the synth and guitar (a bit much too reverb there? I guess it works out amongst everything) made it into a very cool song.

Except as soon as the guitar got going the song started shifting to a rock-sound, rather than trance.
But meh, picking the genre is always a pain in the ass.

I might suggest adding a more dominant melody somewhere in the song. This is all sort of the foundation for something really cool.

Keep at it :)

Size limit :(

Too bad about the size limit, I would have liked to hear the full song. But I guess this is better than lowering quality :P

You have a great song here, the square-y lead was especially cool!

Hail basic waves!

dj-padman1 responds:

thanks mr! I hail basic waves too. Especially if they're degraded to gameboy speaker quality! yes!

DnB?

This track is drum and bass, not techno.

That aside- it is still a very cool sounding song.
People seem to give garageband shit because it is just about throwing loops together- but so what, if you can use it to make cool music- great!

CjienX responds:

ya well i wasn't sure what it was at the time, and techno is a pretty general genre.

garageband isn't just about putting loops together, on my old song thats all i did, but alot of hte loops in this song were mine except 1 snyth and a couple drum fills.

anyway ty for the comment.

Dont ruin the 'mystique'

I saw the name 'Xylene' and was like "WOW, What a cool name!"

Then you tell me it is just an ingredient in spray paint and the sense of mystique around the song is broken before I hear it!

Pointless comments aside, this is a very nice track. I made trance songs for a very long time, then discovered that they were just techno songs. It is very embarrasing to be told this.

Anyway, I've heard many kinds of trance on NG, this style I really like.

I will keep an eye out for more works by you in the future :)

FoxDye responds:

Thanks a bunch for the feedback. To be honest, I'm fairly unsure about what makes a trance track and techno tracks. (I'm not even sure of the many styles of trance either) I'm glad you like it, and I'll have to keep in mind that I should keep the origins of my low rate titles to myself. lol

Cool

You definately achieved what you set out to accomplish. It loops well enough and is nice and cheerful :)

I would go as far as to say it is on the other side of the mood scale compared to my musics :P

Generic?

Its clear you know how to use your software, but this song is very non-directional and sort of generic.

The bell-sounds were a nice addition, but they became repetive rather quickly, then just hung around.

Keep at it, I'll keep an eye out for more of your stuff in the future.

<3 Simplicity

ReNoise is so cool :P

This turned out very nicely, especially for a first track using the software..

Sounds cool.

The broken/put back together vocals and drum-mix formed a good symbiosis, but the bass didn't seem too fitting.

Keep it up :)

Nice work!

The bass is a little over the top, maybe EQ that a little bit and at times your samples are a bit too jumbled.

I didn't know ACID was a sequencing program? So I guess you are just throwing samples down- perhaps try using Fruityloops or Reason. ACID is more for recording sounds.

Fruityloops is said to be easier software to use, but I use Reason and am pleased with how my music turns out.

Fp-3urton responds:

Thanks for the review

Its my first experience with Acid it sure it need more work iam working on that ! =)

FEEL THE PAIN. THEN VISIT MY MYSPACE FOR UPDATES!
