[BurgeraX: Pentakill Remake (Different Heaven) [Dubstep]]

Very accurate :D
I hate these vocals... But that's just me :)
The drop is pretty accurate. I can hear the original playing in the background, I would suggest not doing that next time you make a song remake.
Good job though mate! Pretty accurate.

EruptionMusic responds:

yea same, and the drop doesn't play all the time either it's just some of the parts that helped

[Deathmatch]

Nice job. This piano is nice!
I don't have much to say, except what Infinity and Ember said. NEVER use Unison basses, they usually don't fit in your mix well. Basses sound way better in Mono.
Good luck in the Contest mate. You deserve a win! :D

Noisysundae responds:

Win what place? The last one? D:

Actually, using unison on the bass works sometimes, particularly when it's layered with another bass. Many faster pieces with house beats (hard trance, happycore, etc.) have it. However, it doesn't mean it does the job here.

[ParagonX9 - Chaoz Fantasy [Dubstep RMX]]

The violin at the beginning seems a tiny bit harsh, maybe the high end could be cut a tiny bit!
I like this piano. Very smexy.
The breakdown is so ominous.....
I think these drums are a bit loud. I don't like this lead much but thats just me probably lol XD
The build up needs more white noise and high pitched things :P
This drop is interesting... I recognize some basses from Reactionary.
It sounds kind of cluttered, like I don't really know what I'm listening too, at this part where the drums speed up I mean.
I like the breakdown with the little flute thing. (I hear you used the rain ;P)
I like this second drop better than the first one!
Again, when the drums speed up it sounds crowded.
So many little GD references! Gives me nostalgia tbh
Overall great job. Mixing could be better, but those drops were pretty phenomenal. You're getting better! :D

EtzerGD responds:

yea I agree that the speed up parts are somewhat cluttered. I wanted to shift the tone of the piece somehow but it didn't really maintain enough composure to work how I wanted it to.

[Duck Escape]

It starts off catchy!! Wow :3 This intro part with the drums seems like it has a lot of bass... it could be a tiny bit quieter.
Part with the "quacks" could use some high end :P
Dubstep isn't exactly your strongest genre, but the drop isn't bad.
Personally I dislike these basses, but that may just be me so I won't dock any stars.
The mastering is really good. Nice and loud track.
I like how you change the melody at this part.
I like the second drop more than the first one, though I think I think the basses could be a bit different. They sound a bit harsh.
Overall, nice job. Your mastering and mixing is pretty much on point. Though I don't like some of the noises, it may just be me like I said earlier. Also, you got any house songs WIP? I really like those :3

Quack Quack, -Z

DJVI responds:

Thanks for your great review! I'm actually making a new house track and it should be pretty awesome :)

[Shatter]

Wow this is actually really good!! Good job with the EQing and sound design. I like the slow progression. Nice m8.

Noisysundae responds:

Thanks a bunch man. For this track, I spent time working on mastering the most.
