[Karco -- Troposphere -- Remake]

Woot.

Hey karco...becoming quite the ambient artist huh?

You have all the right synths and FX for it definately. You know what pads to use and it fits well.

Drums...I do agree with your description...only way to get better samples is money though...sucks =\

I've always been a sucker for fading through the left and right. So nice touch there. Since you've been doing this stuff for a while...I think that its good to say that you could add some difficulty.
I.E. maybe more moving lines...different percussion noises...

So anyways great job! OH AND DROP ME A REVIEW FOR MY LATEST =)

Karco responds:

Not much to add but I can agree with most of what you said. :) Thanks for the review, glad you enjoyed it, I'll definitely review your latest soon. :D

[simply amazing]

Alright

Hey...Used Vanguard in this?

Anyways getting into the song...It's pretty simple overall but simple isn't bad.

Your 4th measure is killing me...Your notes clash big time its like you have a B and a C playing together or something.

I like your synth choice though its got a chill feeling. Get more variety in there though

Drums are okay too...they presets from FL still? overall okay job.

Oh...your "Artist DX" song comes with FL so...ya not cool lol it's not yours

Keep improving

sacaro responds:

thx! i try but i suk compared to all u guys. i accidentially uploaded the wrong 1 4 artist DX so i deleted it.

[Karco -- Falling Farther --]

About time :P

Classical eh? Hehe I'm thinking of doing a bit of that soon lets see if this gives me any ideas. (thanks for your review of take control by the way)

I like your filtered piano. Nice chord progressions. Your string entrance is nice.

I think I would make your snare drum have a bit more snazzy part but just cause I'm a drummer...try finding a roll maybe? You got a nice rhythm (haha mispelled)with it though.

Oh listening to it a second time through I think when your strings all fall out to that hanging violin...It could be a bit smoother...try very slowly fading out each (edit events volume).

I could see this phrase turning into a very nice piece when/if you add more. Keep it up Karco.

-Drumr

Karco responds:

Definitely is about time I've submitted. I should be submitting something else new in the near future, as well.

Not much to add. I do agree there's more to be added... and that's because there is already. The full version, which this 60 second clip doesn't in the least bit do justice, will for now remain unsubmitted... for reasons that will remain secret for now. :P

Thanks for the review, Drumr. :) Glad you like it.

[Karco -- Troposphere --]

OOOOOOKAAAY

Hey Karco lets jump right in.

Nice opening Pads...I like your synth you got coming in and out. Drums fit in nicely overall nice sounds!

Hmm why did you put this under VG? A nice ambient tune to me...Not much I can give you critisicim about :P you're going a great job.

Overall a mellow, calm sound...was hoping for a big boom or something but I guess I was getting the wrong vibe :D

Review my latest DnB, Dark Mist...I think it got zeroed about 5 times in the first 30 mins it was submitted. Thanks! And you're improving! :P

Karco responds:

>_< I accidentally submitted this in VG... it was supposed to be in Trance... >:(

You didn't give much criticism, so I don't have much to add. ;)

Much appreciated, Drumr... sure, I'll get to reviewing your songs soon. :) Glad you think I'm improving... I think so too. XD

[Karco -- Aster Revisited]

Hey BUDDY =P

OH OKAY lets goooo Dn'B

Dark feeling off the bat, not bad. On my speakers good bass but a little bit too much "Treble"? Same melodies as before but different you just added FX?

The Drums. Most GOOD Dn'B I've heard has a much less echoing Bass drum. You might want to make it less overpowering and give it more noted. And just for my tastes I guess I prefer snare over a clap.

Again I'm going to take off a point or two for clarity. Also you're hits that you have are great...they fit in BUT it almost makes it so i cant hear your melodies as well until they fade out. Mabey crashes would do you better justice?

Overall I give you a 5 and a dowload cause I like ya :P keep improving you're doing better!

Karco responds:

Yeah, of course they're the same melodies. It's Aster Revisited! =D The end of the world! (Aaaah. XD)

Yeah, clarity's been annoying these days now that I'm going crazy with everything else. XD I'm trying.

Actually, I felt a crash wouldn't fit. I thought the percussion was good. Oh well. Yeah, you're not supposed to hear the melody the entire time... sometimes it's the 'laser' synth harmony you're supposed to be paying attention to. ;)

Glad you like it, and glad you're finally around to review more often. =D Thanks for the review!

[Karco -- Nova --]

Lol Nice

Hey...

Alright Finally some nice, normal, solid drums from you :P A little loud but good energy. Pads adding a nice feel also.

Nice intro of that fast melodic synth NICE. That's the best melody I've heard from you and the sound of it fits right in.

That siren is awesome and the crowd tops it off with high energy. This section is very profesional sounding.

Nice piano in the backround. You've got a lot going on here but it all mixes well. Towards then end I'm not sure if it was a pad couldn't hear it clearly but it sounds like some notes are clashing...AND a nice calm ending very nice. =)

So in my opinion KEEP WITH THE NORMAL SOLID DRUMS (Bass on 1,2,3,4 snares/clap 2+4 or 3) it adds so much more stability to your songs. Best song yet!

-Drumr

Karco responds:

Yeah... I've improved a LOT since you've last reviewed... hah. =P Thanks for the long review, and glad you like it. =) Have you listened to my remix of your song yet?

[Project -Aster-]

Nice, nice

Alright...

So I like the bass you have going on in the beginning but once it starts to overlap with the snare and clap sounds its a bit too much bass. Maybe more of a steady drum beat?

Good down low melodies. Theres not alot of change in the song which is good! =D Nice overall!

Karco responds:

Hmm - I thought the snare and clap were a good idea - maybe I should have just lowered their volume or something. And just so you know, I dislike steady drum beats - I wanted to keep them fresh throughout the song, although the part where that one drum pattern remains for nothing more than 20 seconds or so might have been overdoing it. XD

I guess you could say there's not a lot of change in the song, but only in the melodies and harmonies - like I said earlier, I kept the drum beats fresh throughout the song. I actually came pretty close to making more harmonies for that one laser synth, for the sake of more variation. One of the things I was practicing while I did this song was thinking of creative drum rhythms, which might explain why there were so many.

Anyway, thanks for the review - glad that you like it. :) (The song, I mean. =P)
