[Generic Dance Loop]

Lol nice loop

But you stole my way of thinking ;)

All I've been making is generic dance songs titled "Generic Dance Song n" Lol.

The hats seemed a little bit hot, I would turn them down just a tad. But I love that bassline!

Lol making generic stuff is fun :P You're definitely right about the hats, I'm always tempted to make them too loud. And fuck yes I love that bassline also, I'm gonna have to use that bass again (Moog Bass) or some variation of it in a future song.

Nice!

You spent more than 2-3 weeks on this! lol. I remember you sent me a demo before Christmas even!

And I don't hear any clipping? Maybe it's because my ears are popped right now haha. Anyways if you want some mastering advice, I guess you should talk to nav. Apparently.... he knows what he's talking about sometimes, sometimes, he doesn't. But it couldn't hurt.

The lyrics are quite funny :P

Oh! and glad to see you back @ Newgrounds.

Ethalyn responds:

Thanks man ;) And, yeah i sent you a very basic preview before christmas, i put it away for like 3- 4 weeks before continuing =P

Glad you liked it!

Good, but sequencing is lacking.Change it up a bit

Within the first 15 seconds, I knew this was going be epic, as soon as the pad came in. Then, as the arp synth came in. I just had to click the "write review button" :P

When the piano changed up at about :30, it REALLY, and I mean REALLY, caught my attention, and it only went uphill from there, as around :45 the other synth came in. Very catchy. However, it kinda went on for awhile over and over again, the same melody, but since it's unique, AND catchy, doesn't really matter that much.

When the drums came in, it really kind of was a little predictable, now that's not taking away from your fine mixing skills, but more-so the sequencing involved. It was just sort of generic.

The beginning (first minute) really had me excited for it, but afterwards, not much melodic change occurs, and in order to have a really nice song, you need that dynamic melody. Sure, you brought more synths in, and that helped things in respect to what I'm saying this track lacks, but it doesn't make up for it 100%.

Overall, I think the mix could've used a little bit more... umphh to it. Either a punchier kick, or crank the bass up a bit, and let the rest of your mix down, other than that, levels were pretty good, if not perfect. It's mixed for clarity, and not one synth is covered by another.

9/10 Fav'd song and downloaded. And! Congrats on top 5 :)

And just to let you know I've decided to work on this song ^_^
