[Tobu & Itro - Sunburst (Zyzyx Remake)]

Wow! Good! Can't believe you're only 14!

DJ-Zyzyx responds:

Thank you!!!! :D

[Verity]

Wow! Very good!

What DAW was this made on?

P.S- please can you give me tips on my songs?

[Time Travel by I_yuri_I]

Sounds like it was made with loops. But nice melody. Gets boring. Drop??

[The Coup]

If you're lacking for software, try the demos for Reason, Ableton, FL Studio and that kind of thing.

it's good, needs more reverb on everything and SOME DRUMS! It can't be house without drums!! and synths! but you're getting there!!

Stardust-Nation responds:

I do hope so!

[The Great Escape]

It's ok. Not really Electro. Not really ChipTune.
Where are the drums?
From what I can hear, there is 3 what sound like marimbas, and if this is a FatRat song , then you need more.
Just a simple house beat would do the job - that's what TheFatRat uses in his songs/drops.
Your melody is nice, and so's the start, but what you need is that house beat when the second Marimba comes in, then after the third, a chorus, with chords, beats, bass and a build up to a drop. If you want FatRat style.
If you feel that you can't make this on what ever software (DAW) you're using, http://www.looperman.com is a really useful website. (I used it in http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/699618, but you need to give them credit, like I did).

You're getting there - just keep going and if you need help ASK for it. As I found out when I started, the help here on NG is unbelievable, much better than soundcloud or any other of those Social Music Websites. http://www.troisnyx.newgrounds.com is a really helpful person, so if you need anything come to Troisnyx and I.

Good Job, keep going, and don't give up on a song before it's done!

Stardust-Nation responds:

I'm not using a proper production software at all, lol. The percussion is a joke, and the instrument samples are super limited. On top of that, there are exactly zero ways to make any sort of synths or dubstep or any kind of electro. it's merely a sheet-music-creation tool. Anything else comes from Audacity, which is basically just volume balancing, trimming, and rearranging the song. It also helps to convert the wav file from Noteflight into a usable mp3. Is that just about the worst music-making method ever? Probably. What do you recommend? I'm taking a music tech class, and I'm learning a lot, but it's really only for Garage Band, and I cant do that at home.

edit: I'll be sure to check out the link btw. thanks!

[The Void (Original Mix)]

Wow! Nice! where did you get the artwork from?

KaixoMusic responds:

Thanks :D WildFireMusic made the art, probably on some free walpaper site or something :D

[The Dead Will Rise +final+]

Very mysterieous at the start, but then nice build up, reminds me of pirates of the carribean, the synth and the sounds in the background. Interesting beat, at about 1:45at 2mins it is hard to decide what is going on, there's two melodies that don't really go together. 2:40 is good - reminds me of DJVi . the synths are very nice! the ending is well mixed!

all in all, good song!!

SydRic responds:

Thanks for the feedback Squeegee4554! I agree with what you said about the two melodies that don't really go together, I just kept adding layers when I was building it with no self control, lol. I'm very glad you enjoyed it, have a good one.

[TheFatRat - Unity]

What DAW did you use to make this?

[TheFatRat - Unity (Zyzyx Remix)]

Wow! this is awesome! I thought it would be good, but not this good!!
What daw did you use?
(the bit with the singing is especially good!)
