[Pandora - TranqUndergrnd Tease]

Ahh...

z3ta+. What a wonderful plugin. You like that 8-bar don't you? The song was alright, but the arp in the beginning (If you can even call it an arp) sounded just a tad discombobulated. It threw off the feeling of the song just a bit.

Bad things aside, you are getting your compression techniques down pat and your beats are getting less crunchy and more powerful and smooth. You are realizing melodies alot easier than you used to be. I see you as a seasoned artist, you should keep it up. Try messing around and making your own synths.

I haven't been reviewing your stuff lately, but I have been listening. You should check out my new screename I'm going to use from now on in the Audio Portal. If you care, I'd love to see some support on getting the name popular. It is djAPI, and the first song on there hasn't been screened yet. Keep an eye out. The dominant genre will be Trance.

G'day,

<3 API

i may use presets, but i use them with style.

plus i change everything up, once this hits the final version ill have it sounding like a diff synth all together newayz.

WOW

[Insomnia Remix (Karbon Remix)]

Good.

Hehe, you forgot to give me credit for mastering it ='( Whatever.

Awesome job on the remix! I look forward to seeing more from you.

[Garbage Can!!!]

HAHA

That was one of the fucking funniest things I've ever heard. Backed by an awesome beat. That was hilarious.

[Evershine (Super PuffPuff Mix)]

An awesome remake...

Of and awesome song! Good job dude. I loved the original one. I didn't think that song could be made into a techno hardcore song. but you did a good job. awesome.

AznPB responds:

It is isn't it? ;) Btw, any other collabs you feel like doing? I think we make a good team, you and I. :)

[Amen]

It could use some work.

This song just seems to repeat itself over and over again and the motive is just a little plain. This isn't exactly true DNB. If you guys could hook me up with that loop that'd kick ass. My Amen loop isn't as clean.

[Acid Function]

That was good.

I love how the whole thing flowed smoothly. Reason is a difficult program, isn't it. I liked the drums, as the other two said, but they didn't have enough variation. Try adding a sub bass that drops, probably after ever 3 patterns of drums. That would make this song nearly perfect. This is too light to be DnB, maybe breakbeat. They need that genre.

Check out my latest stuff.

Always-Dark responds:

I don't use Reason.

maybe i should get it....?

[Without Essence]

I'd spend a couple of years...

..in the batcave before I'd start to fight crime if I were you.

[Under Surveillance]

Pandora was right about the drums

The are more of a big beat type. If you put something a little faster with shakers and hihats and more of a tinge on the snare this would be better. Good job none the less. This sounds industrial.

Karbon responds:

thanxs A

[Crisis Zone: Upgraded]

Thats pretty good.

I like the drums. They have a very powerful punch. The only thing you could work on is making that dark bass stand out a little more. I think that sytrus' Smooth string works well with a dark intro rather than a lead melody. If you wanna talk about DnB production or anything, you can talk to me on MSNM I'm [e-mail] or geier103 on AIM.

Good stuff.

Karbon responds:

alright, i already talked to u, and the tip helps
