[Felix Zophar - Phantasm of Wu]

Nice song!

Even though a bit long, the intro hooked my attention :)
The instrument that starts at ~0:30 and ~2:10 seems a liiiitle bit loud and seems to cover the rest. I also noticed the drums were covered a bit too much; I'd suggest you make them a bit louder :)

The only real problem I see in that song is that it would need some variation in the intensity, or something like that. Don't misunderstand me, I'm not asking for a dubstep drop or anything, I just feel it would make the song better if it had some more evolution/build-up and variation. The drop doesn't sound "drop-ish" enough; try adding at least some "boom"-like transition effect. You can also add some more background instruments to make it feel more intense and filled :) There's also the end of the song that feels a bit sudden, there should be some outro (even just a fade out would help) ;)

For the rest, the instument choice and the melody creates an awesome atmoshpere. There's just the mastering that would need some more work ;)

Overall, it's a good song. There is some place for improvement, but it sound really good :)

I know. The DAW I use only has thirty synths!

[Detious - Divinity (VIP)]

I like :) What I liked a bit less from the original is that the drop came a little suddenly, without enough build-up (my opinion); the build-up in this VIP edition makes it my favorite :) I also really liked the ending, its calmness contrasts with the intense drop :D

(Just a question, why is it Drum'n'Bass if the drops (1:16 and 2:33) are dubstep? Just wondering, I'm not very familiar with music categories)

DetiousMusic responds:

I agree, I tried adding waaaay more tension. :P

And usually the drum pattern+BPM identifies a genre. Dubstep usually being half-step at 140 BPM.

I put dubstep in the tags even though it's not because the drops consist mostly of growls, hard basses etc. It feels like super fast dubstep but alas, it's drum n' bass. (:

[Detious - Hypersphere]

I really like the atmosphere of the song! The description/story fits so well to the theme :D

DetiousMusic responds:

Thanks a lot! I always try and find a theme that fits :)
