[groove boat]

Good Times

This is really sweet in reminiscence! The piano is beautiful (good job, lol) and I love the overall arrangement that you chose.

Keep it real, persian boy

You Rule

This kicks ass. I mean, this is genuinely delectable. I don't know why I didn't notice this song earlier.

I don't know whether the best part about this is the incredibly energetic beat or the beautiful house chords. This is the best thing I've heard from you.

The transition part, where the beat seems to be distant and off to the right is so real it could induce synaesthesia :)

Man, if you can make groove DNB like this, an album filled with this kind of stuff would sell like brie cheese. Amazing. I like brie cheese.

Good Mastering

This sounds out really loud, and I appreciate that. The synths are all really powerful, filling up the entire spectrum. Stereo effects are good, and I love that bass kick. It's clear that a lot of compression work went into this. Enjoyable flanger effect in transition moments. I like the second melody, that takes this demo to the end, best.

How many more songs will be made on that bassline? :S And I don't mean the sound, I mean the notes, hahaha! Good job though, this is still pretty original.

Another greatly appreciated song by Frank. Thanks for bringing good stuff to NG.

[-API- Greenlight]

Approved

Lots of things happening here. An experimental square kind of beginning followed by some 3-step. Then that kickass synth kicks in that sounds like something Infected Mushroom would come up with, except DNB. Good drill beats, I can feel the tempo.

[-API- The Virus [Preview]]

Pro

Got a Calyx touch to it with some feel from that ParagonX9 dude. The hi-hat is really good and the bassline has a pretty perfect glitch to it. My only piece of criticism as such would be that the deep bass drum is too wet.

You kick ass!

apimusic responds:

Thanks for the awesome review man. I put a flanger on the bass drum to make it sound more powerful... it sounds a little bit too weak without it. The ride just fits in well, that's why I chose it. It's clanginess is just... enjoyable and compliments the bass.

Thanks for the awesome review, Milosz.
You kick ass too.

[It's a Fine Day]

Nice and 8-bit!

I'm sure what Shawn had meant is the song ATB - It's a Fine Day, where the lyrics are "It is a fine day|People open windows|They leave their houses|Just for a short while" ;)

I like this song, in fact it did remind me of ATB's song, but only because I was thinking about the name while listening to your song. I like the bass used in the song. The melody is nice and scattered. At times this sounds really pro and at times it sounds like something from an old Atari game! In both cases, it sounds great.

Yeah that was the idea of mixing new and old, I'm glad you liked thank you so much

[-API- Paradise on E [REMIX]]

Crystal Clear

The biggest thing this has going for it is perfect mastering. There isn't a single glitch in that aspect.

Though the song is really similar to the original, you took out several interludes, added your own intro and made some new sequences for the bells. I really like the snares and electronic roll that start off the song and repeat a few times.

I'd call this more of a remaster than a remix. It's B0UNC3's song cleaned up. A remix would include some new sound, maybe a change of chords and oftentimes a different harmony based on the same melody. Of course, the similarity doesn't go against the fact that this song rules!

Keep up the good work!

[Synthesis (4min 05secs)]

My Bass Drum!

Dude, this rules! You submitted a song with my homemade Gravity Kick! Haha, I liked this song when you were first making it and I still like it. I can totally smell the ATB influence, but it still has a whole more of you, especially the tune played by the piano. At times it seems chaotic... try to use the stereo , amp and EQ sounsdcapes more! Although the chaos makes everything seem like a giant pad, which sounds like a pandimensional letter (3õ¹¯)². Which is good 000101110101100.

I especially like the confidence in this song. A clear lack of fear to experiment :)

AdmiralConquistador

This is such a typical harmony for you, it's great. This is like the peak of your musical personality and I consider it to be your best song so far, it totally smokes the previous version. Really good job man. My favorite part is the end, where everything just works together so well.

AdmiralConquistador responds:

Man do I love the sound of that, the peak of my musical personality! And my best in your opinion? Your opinion weighs heavy, in my opinion :)

About smoking the previous version... couldn't be stated any better :)
