Yodamanjaro responds:

lol thanks man!

[A Trip]

A deep bass Indeed !

Hey man ..

i don`t know if this is a track u made up yourself ! or a Remix...

But it`s a bit strange in my taste ! Like u said urself u don`t know where you want
to go with youre music.
I can hear that in this track.., because it has not a real structure.
It`s well played don`t get me wrong but there is no real essence off what the story is behind it.
The end is indeed the best part, here you feel the track is trying to get somewhere !

My advice is: make a better structure during the track, And add a Vocal or 2,.

KennyT67 responds:

Yes i did create this. Thanks for the advice and listening! and yes i do agree it jumps around

[[DJZ] Universal]

Hard trance...Fast Trance !

hey Zoys..

well your new top 5 track looks like it`s on the way ! Some people gave u
5/5 - 10/10.

Well I have to say that Vocal in the Middle was superb ! i don`t know where u got it
but its real good.
I only think the beginning is a bit too much sounding with those electro sounds..
a little less is better what i think.
But After the first part and the Vocal kicks in the real track starts ! Real awsome
sounding here !
I only think you could have used that vocal and cut it 1/4 and used it some time more, some short vocal cuts in it ( but that`s just me :D )

Im not a hardcore Fan off these tracks but you olmost got it right on the spot.
Keep this up :D and u will be in that top 5.

Greetz DJMontana

DJ-Zoysa responds:

THANKS MAN ;DD

i really appreciate ur reviews :D

yeh i was tossing up whether to go for a bit of just drums at the beginning, but then i remember what u said about it either being full energetic or nice and melodic, so i decided to go all out energy from the beginning and not stop :D

really appreciate that review, and fingers crossed for top 5 aye xD

THANKS!

[[DJZ] Underwater (Remix)]

Hey Zoys....

Hey man....

Well First off i have to say i am gonna listen to the Remix soon from where u
mixed it from.

But im wanna rate u stuff individually .....

So This track has some nice sounds to it... nice deep kick in the back.
Thattuneup at 1.40 Is Real Nice !! but... you made a energetic track here..u can pump that energy Way up...

Like make a Silence..a 3/4 beat very Deep..let the energy build up.. like a tension in a Movie ! the Splash that Synthesizer in !! What u did also worked but i think if
u listen more carefull u can Really give that Deeper Groove to it.

Besides that the track is good...nice Flowing areas..still have in mind that you
should use more background sounds.. not just a bass or Synthesizer.
This keep the whole area Filled..

PS: Don`t worry too much about getting a top 5, keep youre focus on your style and perfecting youre tracks, the rest will come by itself.

Greetz DJMontana

DJ-Zoysa responds:

hey montana,

thanks man what u said bout top 5 is so true. as i said to someone below, i am not compromising my style for top 5 placements, they are just an added bonus for me

yeh i still only have an fl8 demo, so everything i do has to be done in one hit, so i dont have much time to make songs the way i want them. I really need the full version :P

everything u said i agree with. I kinda just did this song for fun, and then i thought "hey this isnt that bad", so i uploaded it. it wasnt a full scale song xD

im gunna be uploading a preview of a song im gunna expand on shortly, check it out if u want ;D

[[DJZ] Reflective Energy]

New age track of Zoysa...

Hey man !

I am working on that halo Remix right now but im always happy too listen to ur tracks man :D

Well i just have too say it Sounds real Nice ! Complex Composition!
I Hear just like the others are saying that u reduced the Sound Quality...
instead exp Quility up but lower the dither in sec options, that also helps. ! :D

But as For the Track The part at ! 3.00 Min Just SOunds Awsome... I hope u Can send me The Full version in .24 dither ! That will sound good on my 5.1.

I don`t know how u played such a COmplex track in such a short time, but line
just walk in perfect harmony.
Piano is just in the right place, nice deep Delay with reverb.
OEhhh only the track goes Haywire for short seconds there...

Overall Great track..Just Refine those small Things and u have a+ track there !

greetz DJMontana

DJ-Zoysa responds:

ZOMG ;DD

im so glad to get a great review like that from u :D i really appreciate u taking the time out to review my songs it's helped me so much.

i know i love 3:00 as well, and i love the way the piano is so simple but almost shapes the song in a way :P

buy the way, the song going "haywire" is actually part of it, i used some "time bomb" effect on it in nero and i liked how it sounded so i kept it in xD

but yeh, thanks heaps for that review! when u make new songs drop me a message and ill check em out ;D

[Verifying (Prev)]

Hello TDeep bass !!

Hey Tuneit...

I think u used a very strange way off making your track, but i think this strange
way has a very cool sound.
It`s a bit short but pretty powerfull ! but a little empty like helthrmx also emplies !

The Intro at 57 sec is pretty good, but this more a Hard Trance track !
This olmost sounds like a track wich the dutch Dj`s play at Q-Music !

Im Not a Real hard trance Fan but i think u did A good Job HEre !!

Greetz DJMontana

zenodio responds:

Thanks a lot. It means a lot to me, and the track isn't finished yet, that's why the title says "(Prev)" it means "Preview"

The full version is finished soon =)

I'll check out some of your work right now.

[Forward.]

High C tones Squick !

hello opqc...

Well i have too say.. some tones Really sound off ! the tones are played in a
Synthesizer that do not match very good !
The bass and drum are ok.. but the high c tones. i would have done it different.

It is really short track so i would suggest to make it a little longer and trying too add some more Deep Stynthesizer sounds.

greetz DJMontana

OPQC responds:

the tones AREN'T played with the synthesizer.
and it's not C tone. it's C#7. you have to get on with it.
and it's short because IT'S MY STYLE!

[My Hero In Disguise]

Trance flow...in disguise..

Hey man...

First off i have never heard youre work before..so..
you posted this in Trance section... but too me this is more a dance track !
Just to give u a heads up ! :D

But as far as the track goes it pretty nice with some flowing ereas ! the deep piano
track is really nice added at 2.30 !
The track is indeed a kind off day Dreaming song too Relax with !

For a track with this kind off position i cannot say anything bad ! just that i Think u should post this in anothter genre !!

Nice job

greetz DJMontana

kevindurante responds:

Thanks for the input :D

[[DJZ] Galaxy (T.E.O.S.)]

Hey zoysa...this new track !

hey man let`s see what we have here..

Well you know my style in trance by now and what things i like in tracks.
I am more fond off the energentic type so im gonna try hard to get this.

Ok... it`s a bit simple start.. That Nice double synthesizer you used halfway at 3:00 min would have come real handy in there..
Then the start is pretty nice..smooth easy way off the track ( i dont know the original).

The upcoming at 3:00 is pretty good...Nice deep groove wich makes it rich sounding good job there.
But oeh then soon after there is a small gap when the tune is little off..
the upcoming snare is good.. !!! i Really like the fullness here.

Overall a Nice Track.. still my advice is too get but more energy at the beginning so the track is finished as one !

keep it up ! :D

Greetz DJMontana

DJ-Zoysa responds:

thanks man, ill take everything u said on board

overall this was meant to be a really chill song so the beginning wasn't very energetic just to set the mood :)

also, i heard you say something about an original? this is an original track from me, i didnt get the melodies from anywhere else :) OOOHHHHH i get what u mean u havent heard the other one - Expanse (T.E.O.S.) well id reccommedn listening to it :D

thanks man,

-DJ Zoysa

[[DJZ] Glowsticks]

hey Zoysa...

Hey man..

Well let`s see what you made ! ..

The start is ok...just a little unbalanced.
But lateron it comes in to place... this is nice.
You are right that u do experiment with sounds.. in this case you made
a stand alone.

This could be used like a background track in an game or movie..somewhere
in this genre.

But i think if u experiment.. try using some vocals.. try a Scracth or mabey some
sounds with phasers wich gives that extra dimension in sounds.

you are starting to learn and develop..keep it up.

Greetz DJMontana

DJ-Zoysa responds:

cheers man :D

i always like reading ur reviews, ill take everything u said on board. yeh i had to do some of the intro post-rendering which was a bitch, but u know it had to be done :P

yeh i did experiment with the phaser a little as you can hear in a few parts of the song ;D the more i try new stuff, the better ill get :D

thanks,

-DJ Zoysa
