That’s a catchy melody. I love the transition to the solos that you use several times, including at 0:36. That’s a pretty cool effect.

I can see elements of Hyperdestructive. I’ve been a big fan of jazz, and I like to see elements of different styles of music mixed together, so I thought it was cool that you included the improv sections.

Thanks for sharing this with the world, and keep making music!

Thank you so much! :O

I love the intro and the way that it segues into the main body of the song. Thanks for putting this out there!

I didn't expect to meet you here. You are the Legend, did you know this? Glad to see you do some activity so you are alive that's really great!

This has a very nostalgic, beautiful feel to it. Nice work - keep it up!

Thank you so much! I’ve looked up to your stuff for such a long time. I appreciate you taking a listen, and I hope you’ve been well <3

NightHawk22! The legend. OGs are coming back. Thank you :D

This was fun to hear! A very nice arrangement you've made. Man, it'd be a real trip to be eating in a restaurant or walking through a museum and all of a sudden, the string quartet starts playing this 😆.

Well made! I'm not a pro in this genre of music, but I can say I love the sounds of the guitars. They are different enough from each other that they provide contrast. Suggestion: maybe give the drums a boost - I couldn't hear them well enough for my liking. A strong drum beat can drive the whole song along. Throwing in a small drum solo at the end of each phrase would be cool. Not a long one, just leading from one phrase to the next.

Overall, good work.

Thanks for the advice dude, I see what you mean about the drums. I've been a bit reluctant with adding fills because I've seen a lot of covers where people have gone overboard with them but after reading your comment I can see the drums are a little bit lacking. I'll be sure to add more variety from now on and also do some work on the dynamics :)

Kudos!

That was probably one of the most creative mixtures of genres that the DNB portal has seen in a while! I enjoyed the smooth jazz aspect mixing with the driving drum beat. I love when genres start mixing; it really keeps the listener on his/her toes. So you deserve a "parabéns" for your creativity. The piano ditty was well done, and I feel that you meant for it to sound as if it were from an old recording, but I think I would have liked it better if it was more clear and resonant. I liked the transition from the jazzy latin beat to the DNB beat; my only other criticism is that I wish there was a (stronger) bass present. My speakers are bad, and I couldn't hear if there was a bass, maybe some wobbling, grainy bass sounds in there under the surface - not stealing the spotlight, but adding constructively to the whole.

Good work!

woooot constructive criticism!!!

there was bass, nothing crazy at all though, this is meant to be more like utah jazz's stuff if u have heard of him.

Cool beats, good layering. I like how there's a lot going on at the same time, with all the synths and such, it gives the song depth that many songs here in the Audio Portal lack. You are creative with the melodies. I have a few suggestions, though. The song doesn't seem to me to have much flow or direction. For example, start with less complex, move toward more complexity, then fade out with less complexity. It seems as though the song jumps around a lot with no "method to the madness." Keep it up, though. I enjoyed it very much.

You should spend a little more time on your songs. A good song is more than just putting notes down in a program. Not sure I would classify this as dubstep - it lacks the "wub-wub" effect that basically defines the genre. Also, the song was too repetitive for my taste. On a positive note, you used the scratch well, and that can truly add to a song if used in the right way. So keep trying, and put more time into the creative thought process.
