[Falcon]

Wasn't too bad, but as another person stated, it sounds kind of generic.
Though the drop wasn't too bad (I am a fan of the sound you used for it) it sounded a little flat and empty. I think it'd benefit from using additional sounds in the background to give it more depth and fullness. Possibly even experiment with different sounds and instruments to distance yourself from the generic dubstep formula.
But anyway, nice work.
And again, good job mate!

KeanyGD responds:

yes, you're right, thank you

[Piano 1]

00:00-00:25 Literally perfection. I loved the calmness of it, and even if you still keep it in its current form (simplistic and all) you could translate this to a longer piece. I loved it though, good job. The reverb/echoing of the piano was great and the melody of the first 25 seconds was lovely - I mean, I like all of it, but that part was the best.
Good Job, Keany. 👍

KeanyGD responds:

Yay thank you!

[Junior-Astroid]

Great, I love it personally. I think the drop would sound more "full" if a growly bass was included, however.
Great work nevertheless.

[Keany: Cracked]

Requires a buildup as I could not locate where the drop came in honestly.
I also found the drop part to be lacking power. The wasn't enough sounds where there should've been in the drop. As you find with lots of dubstep tracks, many of the screeches, wobble basses and synthesizers are compacted together to create a fuller sound.
Good effort though, and I am beginning to see improvement so well done.

KeanyGD responds:

Im not gonna act like this was that good tbh, ive got a fair bit better now :)

[Keany: Flynn Bellowing]

A decent effort.
I would just suggest having a clearer, more distinct melody as I cannot tell what the main sounds are.
The vocals also strike as a bit of a problem for me as they are not blended witht the track really.
The beat needs to be more consistent as it changes quite frequently when all you need is a main beat, the buildup drumroll and then the drop beat (enhanced main beat).
Finally, the dubstep sounds need to be more defined as they weren't emphasized inthe drop like they should've been. Good effort nevertheless.

KeanyGD responds:

The drop will be much clearer next time, thanks for the review :)

[WubTub]

00:00-00:30 = Perfection!
The sound that you introduce at 00:30 is a bit alien in my opinion, it could be improved by ending it about 0.25 or 0.5 seconds before the note changes to make it a bit sharper, I would also advise turning it down slightly so it doesn't overtake the other sounds - it has more of a "background sound"-esque. The snare too is a bit airy, but it could easily be fixed by adding another less airy snare and having them play at the same time to have a two-layer snare sound.

Now, I have to talk about the drop.

1) The first thing is the short build up before the drop should always be a lot quieter than the drop itself,s o that the drop hits hard.

2) Secondly the drums actually seem a bit "Lacking" after 00:44, where they should be harder than the drums before that point.

3) I see what you were attempting to do at the drop with the wobble bass-like sound, but you need it to wobble at a higher frequency and maybe add a background growl and some screeches to give it an "epic" feel.

4) Lastly the ending was perfect...BUT it should transition to that part and get progressively quieter.

All in all I know what you were aiming for here and I can feel the track.
It does need some improving, don't get me wrong, but it really is good, and with a little adjustments it is a track I could really connect with. I really do love the sounds.
Anyway, great track and good-luck on future ones.

Regards,
N7k.

[Xtrullor - Tria]

I listened to this on loop for 50% of my 5 hour aeroplane journey, a very well done on this one. I really appreciate the first drop...helped me sleep like a baby.

[Aversion Shock Therapy]

Very very good, the only criticism i have would to take the snare beat out of the first drop and amplify the base a lot more, but not yo tje point of distortion. Congratulations on tjis track though, i really like it.

DarkBlueFX responds:

Thanks for pointing that out! Using the sub is definitely something I need to work on anyway and I could've easily just made it louder here cause I give myself headroom anyway, whoops. The 12 year old in me is definitely attached to the 4/4 kick-snare beat, especially that snare. That part is fairly basic in general.

[Flashburn - Skywaves (Original mix)]

Very good, but it was very quiet for a majority of the time. I could see myself listening to this on an aeroplane on repeat, its a nice, chilled out tune, very well done. Thumbs up for this.

[that's some spooky stuff]

Well...that's some spooky stuff xD.

Well done, i loved the first drop, very nice snd the sounds fit really well together.
