[Who Doesn't Like Frank Barone?]

hello! this track is rather nice - the beats are crisp and the bass noises are nice. I wish it was all much more rhythmic though: the bass follows a kind of arrhythmic pattern and the beats don't have any variation. I think changing the rhythm after the breakdown at 2:00ish or maybe changing the relationship between the bass and the beats at this point would have been really effective. cool track though keep up the good work :)

[Reduction]

Dang I really liked it until it dropped. There were a lot of interesting things happening with the synths that I wanted to hear develop, also the low-fi drums lend themselves well to a softer style of dubstep. The drop also doesn't work well for me I think because the rhythm of the bass sounds is too repetitive and the sounds themselves are a bit grating. The breakdown after the first drop is very nice. Anyway overall it's a pretty good track, nice one!

[etK - Vector]

Hello! This piece is very ambitious with the length and has some cool elements. The drums really remind me of something from aphex twin's selected ambient works, which i love. The synths could do with more variations in the sound though, and the tune needs more depth. Also for a piece of this length there needs to be more of a harmonic progression i think. Anyway all these things can be solved I think you just need to work into it some more :) it's a great start for a track, it feels very emotive and has potential.

Thank you very much for your helpful review, dude! =D

[Legato]

Cool sounds and interesting rhythm but there are too many elements fighting for space in the mix, which makes it a bit unpleasant at parts. I'd like to see this developed into a full on dance track as it has an interesting character to it.

[Todays the Day]

Hello! This isn't really techno as techno tends to be much more focussed on pacing and rhythm and sound design and this piece is very melody based. So I think this would lend itself much better to progressive house or trance or maybe dutch house. What you're looking to do next is take this track somewhere, use the tune and sounds you have here as the thematic basis for a completely new section of the track - usually a drop where you cut the melodic elements and focus on drums and bass, or maybe you could change the chord progression and add a different melody. What you have here is a good build up but now you need to take it somewhere :)
