"More Dynamic" is the opposite of "Compressed" ... It means more variation in the peak levels..
So yeah.. In case of your song Silence II, you could have make it more dynamic if you used a short decay on the synths, or less reverb and/or delay.. It's like all the synths are keeping the song at a constant volume..
But the melody sounds very nice! Try to stay away from basic FL samples tho ;)
Good job man, Keep up the good work!

I loved the ambience of this song...
U used some very nice stereo panning which made this song very pleasant to listen to!
I loved it when the bassdrum dropped in.
The SoundFX goes perfect with all the other sounds ;) You chose the right combination of samples...
I hope to hear more from you soon!
Nice talent you have there ;)

Thank you, Paragon, for liking it and saying WHAT you like about it ;)
Reviews are always nice.
And just so everyone knows, NDC'Elements are 8 songs that are one story, you should listen them one after another when they're done.
This is the Intro, so it starts slow ;)
Next one, Earth, is gonna be uploaded in a day or two ;)

OMG AMEN!! The most used DNB Break of all time...
Always adds life to the track and makes it sound also little more proffesional...
The line reminds me of 'SM64 - Koopa's Road' =)
Nice battletrack Zero...
Thanks for your vote, ParagonX9! You voted 5 for \*The Dragon Pathway*/, raising its score from 3.83 to 4.00.

I think that Masturweewee is right about what he said of the midi rip.
It does sound almost exactly like the midi version (which also was my favorite midi).
Yeah espesially that oboe sample.
I had a very old Noobish Zelda website where i always had this midi song of WhiteReflection on the mainpage. I really loved this midi song and even recorded it to .wav and burned it on cd.
So I know exactly how it sounded, and this sounds very similar to it. Only a few instrument changes were made and some stereo effects.

Hehe, finally you submitted your tracks to ng ^_^ and im really proud of that..
This song is really nice for a videogame.
It's some sort of funny polka style which i haven't heared yet in the AudioPortal.
It also reminds me alot of Diddy Kong Racing on N64.
Great job Dan.

Hmm im not sure how im going to rate this.
Because what i think is that u only used premade things.
What I think how it was done:
- Recorded the Zelda theme from the NES.
- Used a chopped Live Drumloop.
- Then the Amen Loop drops in over the other drumloop.
Ofcourse im not telling that it sounds bad..
To be honestly, I like it.
But the thing is that i can do exactly the same in 5 minutes.

Now normally, I would accept something like this. Normally I take all constructive criticism. However to see that you have so much "Drum N' Bass" out but remain this ignorant, and a bigot, I say no, I'm calling you on your bullshit.
1. That is a synthesizer, I have already stated that. I sampled nothing.
http://tinyurl.com/2dwq6
2. Of course I chopped a drum loop. Using anything else can and will sound like a midi. A live drumset will always sound better and more natural together. Cut said loop into slices, then rearrange as you see fit. This is a basic of drum and bass sonny.
3. You astound me with your musical prowess that you could so easily identify the...oh wait I never used the amen loop dumbass. I used a cut up loop that I created.
http://tinyurl.com/2byxy
That is the amen loop sped up to 180bpm.
http://tinyurl.com/3egjr
This is my loop. They're both low quality on purpose, make your own damn loops.
Notice the difference? Obviously you couldnt before.
Signs point to "You couldnt make this in hours". Go back to the pretend world where you know what you're talking about.

"Ok, but very easy to remake :S"
It sounds pretty good and all but the thing is that as a musician I know how easy this was to make...
----------------------------
Breaks you've used:
- Dinky Break (Scotty)
- Amen+Samurai link
- Amen
(Names can be different in other samplepacks)
Bass:
- A Saw Bass with Phase FX...
Synth:
- Some sort of Dist Guitar...
Voice:
- Some Scratchy Voice FX ...
"It's too easy to remake this" (Which is not good)
The biggest magic are in the Breaks that were used.
----------------------------
TIPS:
- If you make your own beats instead of using
pre-made loops it'll get more Original Sound.
And it's much more fun to make beats by yourself im telling you...
- Try using more synths and lots of crazy FX...
-* Go download some DNB Mixes and listen to them for a while, See for yourself.. trust me...
Good job anyways... :)
Hope these tips will help you alot...

i'm quite happy to get a review from you. i consider you and dreamscaper to be the top of the line here.
but i do beg to differ with you astute observations on how incredibly easy this was to make, and, seeing as how i am the one who made it, i believe that i have the upper hand. i'm not a little thirteen year-old churning out premade samples and breaks.
you're exactly correct on the bass and synth, which are a crappy phase bass and filtered guitar with distortion. impressive. they suck, i know.
but the breaks, though they may have been differently named samples, were a LOT of work. each series differing at all from the original break was mixed entirely by myself. i prefer this to making my own beats entirely, which i can do as well, simply because it gives it a cooler sound when the cymbals and reverb that are already in the loop cut off and on in the rearrangement process of breaking them down. someone noted goldie below, and i think it corresponds somewhat.
regardless, thank you for your tips and review. :)
