Sure I'll spit over this!
Lols. ;p
Has a wicked beat man. Lovin' it. I'm not really sure about the strange choice of melodic synths. They sound so dark and draining. They go together well with the bass though, so it's all good. I imagine it would be harder to rap over this because it's not any ordinary hip hop beat, but props to whoever's creative enough to come up with some lyrics.

I think this could turn out to be a massive tune. Keep it up Ruckflow.

weird synthwork is what i'm all about man :D
i got some rapping coming up for this tune right here, and it's some kickassrhymes by a kickass rapper, so this could turn out to be pretty wicked in the end!
and of course the final product will be ALOT more versatile and worked over, this is hardly a skeleton, i need to cover it with muscles, skin, blood and a brain.
thanks for the review man, great feedback right there!
Quite decent, it lacks some drive though.
At first I was going to write that the percussion in the start was off, since it has an usual time structure, but after listening to it a few times it starts to fit more. What really helps is when the kick comes in, that gives the track some more power.
I'm not at all a fan of the strange bass that comes in around 0:15. It sounds so lo-fi and distorted in a bad way. Think I recognize the preset from somewhere aswell. ~.~ But nevermind that if you didn't use a preset, hehe. :P
I think you should remove the bass. Instead, have a slightly distorted bass and add some sinewaved subbass for the feel together with the 4x4 kicks.
Good use of Rig's samplepack, though I'm not really a fan of the scraping cardboard sounds. ._. But that's my taste I suppose.

Pretty nice outcome for a quickie. ;) If you're planning on continuing with this track, I would suggest that you throw in some more percussion that's panned all over the place when the melody comes in. The percussion as it is right now is just *slightly* lacking.

Thanks for your review!
That strange bass there is a really basic reese thrown together in like 10 seconds. It's not a preset though! ;) I only use presets as a starting point to edit further. I never use them raw. But this one was synthesized with 3xOsc.
I don't know if I'm gonna continue it.. I don't know if it has potential enough to make into a full fledged song. Ah well, I'm gonna try atleast. Thanks for the tips n review.
Swerve.
Daimn, haha.
Man, this is so incredibly in your face. Lovin' it. Chuckled a bit when you screamed "Break!". ;)
It's pretty sexy, but it's to lauwwd. It doesn't really fall into the regular volume range of all the other songs. Normally I like these kind of beats loud, but you shouldn't make it so loud yourself. Loudness should come from the volume button on one's computer. :p This causes some slight mixing problems. Drums are slightly distorted, the kickdrum should be a little bit softer.
Also it's a bit repetitive man. Add some melody/different basslines to it. Though I love the drums. Effects well applied.
7.5/10
5/5
I had to turn my volume a bit down, which cost effort. I hate effort. ;( But you got a killer beat right here man.
~ La_Yinn, --'
Would you look at this...
Heh, you are good. I'm assuming you did all the voices yourself. and with that assumption, I must say: Very, very impressive.
There's some feedback in the background, it might be because your mic isn't to good, or because the recording is to soft/the recording program is bad.
But jeez, that's all about I have to say. There's 5 different voices and they all sound like they represent their personality. That's an extremely difficult task.
9/10
5/5
Glad I checked this out. Hope to hear more from you. I wonder, can you sing too? :3
~ La_Yinn, --'
Hey it's la-yinn, comin' at meh with da complimentz! *bows down in acknowledgement to making all 5 voices myself*
You are so sweet and thank you greatly for the review.
People rarely seem to take the time to review OR vote now.
They will listen all day long but. . . enough of my incessant rambling on about it, I digress. Yeah, as for the white noise in the BG, sorry, it was my first and I will continue my efforts at NOT submitting crappy sounding clips again.
Thanks again for taking your time to do so and to answer your FABulous question, YES I CAN sing. (AT least I think so anyway. Heh heh heh *clears my throat and hums a few octave scales*) I still have to submit a few more samples showing my higher pitched voices and then I'll be working up the ovaries to show you guys a little of my musical finesse as well. Ha, pshyeah!
I have a sh*itload of sarcastic, essentially waste of time, mockery tunes but I suppose I could sing something *holds both hands up and makes the International sign for parentheses* "normal" too. Listen, I am really grateful you stopped and gave me a shot. If you ever need ANY voices, PM meh, ah-ite? I will ceratinly TRY ANYthing for ANYone, ANYtime. Until next time. . .
..........Take care, be good and let me know why
you asked about the whole singing deal, I'm curious now.period
it sounds like a story.
Especially because of the start, man. I'm digging this. Some heavy riffs, good progression. I'd be all over this if I had a better mic, but alas..
There's not really much to say on this one. Except I don't really like the stops after the chorus. But that'll probably sound a lot better with vocals.
9.5/10 (saving the 10 for the VMX version, hurrhurr)
5/5
Awesome track. \m/ Keep 'em coming!
~ La_Yinn, --'
Thank you very much. :D
I know, I'm thinking of reconsidering the stops and messing with the structure one more time...but...we'll see.
Oh my god.
*shakes head in disappointment..*
This is wrong on so many levels, it's unbelievable.
Lesson one: If you're gonna make a battle track, for fuck sake, BATTLE! This is like a lyrical bitchslap. Degrading. Speak up! Don't whisper loud, shout! You have to show who's boss.
Lesson two: Lyrics. They aren't bad, but you should seriously improve on your rhythm. Hiphop is generally 75-95BPM. This sounds like it's 130-140. That's to fast, man. Which brings us to..
Lesson three: The beat. I'll start off with saying that you should immediately stop using standard FL Studio samples (it is blatantly obvious you use it, which is a bad thing) UNLESS you can mix them to the level they're unrecognisable. You have to learn how to master your tracks. You seriously need to throw in some reverb on the piano and certain elements of the beat. You also need to get some new and more punchy drum samples.

I'm not going to lie. This is bad, but we all started out experimenting. You should take the advice from the reviews you're getting seriously. That's the best way to learn. Keep making audio... although it is probably more listener-friendly if you keep it on the instrumental side for now. Your voice is quite.. yeah. Maybe in a few years.
~ La_Yinn, --'
ur just jealous
Alriiiiight.
A quite typical song of yours, in a positive way. ;)
I'm not to familiar with trance music, so unfortunately I can't really review you on any technicalities,
To me, the intro and outro both seemed perfectly fine the way they are. All these people moaning about it not being fast enough is pretty much bull. It stays true to it's genre and it doesn't disappoint. There's a lot of side-synths to keep the listener focussed, if it weren't for them I'd agree with the rest, but the way the track is right now? I honestly can't spot any major flaws.
Though your leads and progression are relatively generic. (Emphasis on relatively.)
9.4/10

I felt like giving you some props. None of the other reviewers seem to have done so, but I believe that respect must be given when respect is due. This is one of those occasions. Good job.
~ La_Yinn, --'
First of all, thanks for listening!
I'm glad you understand my point :)
Long buildups and intros are part of the genre :)
I did everything in my power to make it not boring. (It's kinda stupid to see ppl still complaining about it)
Thanks so much for the props! I worked very hard on this piece and I'm glad you liked it!
Win.
Quite win. It has a good buildup, well mastered, yadayada. Your usual standard of excellence.
What would boost this track dramatically is vocals, but I'm pretty sure that's pretty obvious in hip-hop. :p
As Wylffyre1 pointed out, the choirs get repetitive. They're beautiful, but used to much. In the intro they fit just nieely, but some other choirs later on would be better. Or just leave them out after the intro and replace them with another melody.
Also, the more 'optimistic' part, the bells and all, they're not really fitting into hip-hop. They fit in medieval tracks, they fit in classical tracks. They fit into your style. Though this is a collab, and should be treated as one. I think the biggest flaw on this track is that there is more of a clash of both genres instead of a collaboration. Like they go on and off to 'shine'. You should let the genres flow into eachother like they're happily married with 3 children and a pool in the backyard. The thing is, that's darned difficult with these genres. It's near-impossible to make a track like that. You succeed very, VERY well in the intro. I'd say what distracts the most from the overall flow are the bells and the high pitched synths around it. The track starts with a darker moodset than where it ends. This track would seem fitting for vocals and that always somehow changes the way you look at a track. A problem occurs that when I try to think of meaning lyrics, I find myself starting with a sad story/problem and ending in a fairytale.
8.5/10
5/5
I'm not good enough to give technical advice. I tried to judge by my own feeling towards music and I hope it helped in any way. Don't get me wrong, I love the track to bits. It's original, but the collaboration feeling wore off midway. A bit of a shame, but totally understandable. Once again, it is incredibly hard. Both of you did a great job on the track.
