I just saw the edit you made to your message. I like this one much better than the first. Personally, when I said bells I was invisioning something a little higher, but these work very well indeed. This is getting a 9!

Haha, don't worry - this is just a taster - I'm in the process of making The Secret Forest 3! Or 2... Meh I'll call it 2 since this is 1.5.
So far I've added a flute and bass (see comment below). Hope you vote 10 on that to continue the pattern ;)

I can see how this might be a good song for other people, but It really doesn't do it for me :/ It might be the wooshy noise and the drums.

"Good Idea"

submission: The Secret Forest

date: May 2, 2008

It's a pretty good idea, but there is a lot of empty space in this song. It might be good for something soundtracky, but listening to this by itself, there needs to be another instrument. Also, you have fallen into the death trap of the unrealistic synth strings. Either give them some reverb or go for a cello. Another thing that might be good would be to have a high bell sound that his at certain points in the song, "dum dun dum dum dun, dum dun dun dun *tink*".

The empty space is intentional - It's held back, secret.
As for the instruments, I quite like the bell idea. Probably add reverb instead of changing the ready-made instruments because personally, I like the synth sounds.
Keep in touch. Chances are I'll make a second, and thanks for the detailed review :D

Edit: New one is made! http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/liste n/142273

"Amazing."

submission: ~EnV~Heaven Rd. 2 (Ng mix)

This is, without a doubt, the best song on the portal. Extremely fast paced, a fucking awesome piano solo, not annoying drums, fitting lyrics, great techno-dance sound, and it makes me want to dance around in my underwear. I think I put too much rum in my coffee that night :/ GREAT JOB MAN! 20/10, 10/5.

"Amazing, I have never heard a D&B this good before"

submission: {`Osc} Overcast

date: May 2, 2008

This is a truly amazing song, calm yet full of energy. Absolutely perfect except for the little clicky drum at the beginning. It gives such a stark contrast to the soothing energy of the song, the beat is ok, just make it a different noise. Other than that, I found the song intensely relaxing. 10/10, 5/5, great job!

p.s. nice piano, my favorite part :)

That is a flattering title my friend, surely you have not been looking in the right places for DnB :)
Not sure what you mean by "little clicky drum" heh, do you mean the hats intro? Or the backing snare?
I, too, found the hats intro a little abrasive after listening, if thats what you meant. Just more factors to consider in future productions :D Thanks for the review!
