[Running So Lively]

I can hear both DJVI and DJ Striden in this song. Sounds like a job well done!

SuperSoniker responds:

Thank you veru much! <3

Just a friendly piece of advice: regardless of whether you think this song is good or bad, even if you don't want to keep your songs available to the public, at least keep them privately for yourself. It is inspiring to look at past artwork or songs and see how far you have come and how much you have learned. Look for things that could be made better in older songs, then apply them to future ones.

Secondly, if I could have permission to create and distribute the sheet music for this song, as I have recently picked up the saxophone and would love to start playing some of the easier parts in this particular song, as this is the only piece I have found that it is possible to pick apart individual instruments, making it fun to play solo. I wouldn't need project files or anything, I would just use the song.

Keep spreading the music!

Edit: Yes, I mean to upload it for free ;) Thanks!

Miyolophone responds:

if by "distribute" you mean "upload to musescore/youtube/etc" then yes, that's okay! however, please don't sell the sheet music (for hopefully obvious reasons).

[Lost Hamlet]

What category is this one submitted for?

PaddyDavis responds:

oh.. damn. I don't think I read the page properly. I didn't know there were categories. :|

[Submerge]

Which category are you in?

Edit: ??? Not sure what you mean.

Teckmo-X responds:

In the beginning I was mostly making Chiptunes and Video Game Music but as the years passed by I've grown really close to the electronic music genre and now range from EDM, Progressive House, Trap, Synthwave, Dark Electro, and Dubstep. Most of my music tastes and inspiration comes from artists such as REZZ, Notaker, Au5, Inzo, Miss Monique, SWARM, and many more. Right now I'm leaning more towards Rezz and Notaker so I try to combine what I learn by ear to create and share new music.

First, you wrote a dubstep at 145 BPM. I am somewhat impressed because a qualification for dubstep is a BPM between 120 and 130. However, this still sounded fine.

Second, you said:
"While I was making this song I still had no name for it, until at the end it occurred to me out of nowhere Collision, the same situation that happened to me while producing Cosmic Journey"
This is pretty much how I come up with all of my song names. If you are ever stuck, though, I suggest posting it and asking people what it should be named. Alternitavly you could brainstorm an album theme (creomusic tends to use names that have something to do with a circle) and then go from there.

Third, here is a second-by-second review of the song:

Intro [0:00 to 0:44]: I liked it. Rythym is very good, I like the cymbal especially. I also enjoyed the melody

[0:44 to 0:54]: good transition. Maybe needs a little more / stronger bass, but still good

[0:54 to 1:48]: really long, also growler sounds a little weird. Maybe change up some of this by adding more instruments or a slightly different melody here, or just cutting it down by half.

[1:48 to 2:02] good transition for what came next. Cooled off the growler really well.

[2:02 to 2:54] cut this in half or use this to somewhat build up to the next section.

[2:54 to 3:46] same as 0:44 to 1:48.

[3:46 to 4:15] still strange growler, but this is a much better length.

[4:15 to 4:53] ok ending.

Overall:
This is really good for two days and not knowing how to make Dubstep super well. I really like the lead-up, but the growler you used could use some work. It is a tad fast, so if you want to add length to your song without repeating anything, maybe lower the BPM down to at least 130 (but I suggest 120).

Nice job!

EDIT: You were right, dubstep is from 132–142 BPM. Just goes to show how much I know about dubstep XD

SuperSoniker responds:

By detailed feedbacks like this one, it helps me a lot to improve my music producing skills, and not only that, also to better name my songs.

Regarding the BPM, I always believed that Dubstep's default BPM was between 140 and 145, but you've left me in doubt, maybe I'll check it out again.

And well, thank you very much for the comment to take into account certain aspects to improve.
