Pandora-Tranquil responds:

Ambiant Fantasy is the name.

ill sub it i na while i don want fags to see it an go crazy voting zero.

[Hip Hop DnB w/added snare]

Loverly

Ambient DnB is relaxing, and i like it. the strings are great! the mix isnt great, drums are too loud slightly. specially the snare roll and hi hats. but the piece its self is beautiful.

dj-z3ta responds:

Thanks. And you are right, the mix isn't quite there. It's just a first draft. Thanks for the reviews. I actually play cello myself, so i had to use it somewhere.

[Drum, Bass, and Cello]

sound awesome sound comin fro ya there

The only thing i could say bad is, make the drums sound slighty more busy -- my personal opinion, so not necessarily right. great great piece! love the old skool stabbers! you a fairly melodic man from what ive heard so far

dj-z3ta responds:

i have a new song out, if you havent heard it yet....reinventing the anomaly, definitely give it a listen. I spent just a tad more time on it. It has a late melody though, so listen through.

[Reinventing the Anomaly]

basic and good

rollin beatz dude, its great, the synth chords fit well witht he bassa, which is powerful. the mix isnt perfect, ever so slightly hi end biased for some of the tune, never mind, it sounds great anyway.

dj-z3ta responds:

ah, you already have. lol

[Floorboarder]

nice, but clippy

I like this hehehe i just want to say code REASON!!!
sorry, im a big user of reason. as a sound engineer myself, id say you need some mixing hints. your drums are too loud...particularly high end ie hihats, cymbals etc. i know your drums are supposed to be distorted, but the actual audio level goes into the hi +3 dB area (try to keep it at around -1 or o dB). a good way to see is to load the final audio file into a wav editor and look for very square looking waves. those are clipping signs. keep it up dude u have good ideas

[PaNdOrA-Journey to heavan]

Dude WOOOT

this is undescribably wayy brilliant.holy mate you gotta keep making music of this listenability, this tune reminds me of maga man at the start, then ecco the dolphin later on, plus its got a nice break beat , it creates a beautiful atmosphere of suspension and wonder. what more can i say its SUPERB.

Pandora-Tranquil responds:

Thanks dude, it does sound kinda mystifying halfway through, its like 6 mins long now lol.

glad u liked it!

[PaNdOrA-Underworld]

NIce One

This is brill man, you are improving by loads, this brings me back to 1997 days of DnB, its rockin, bo bass line! nothin wrong with this, its fucking cool by the way when the acid squarish thingmy kicks in, awesome, more of this matey, more.

Pandora-Tranquil responds:

check out the remix, too bad i don get more votes, my reviews are awesome compared to my votes, i need more ppl to vote so it makes up for fags that vote zero.
