[Super Slumber Party]

I thought this was an awesome track. Hilarious how in the later part where the tune gets a little darker that Stamper sounds a little creeped out at the same time.

The first 24 seconds were the best part. The happy sounding synth and drums make an excellent combination. Would be a great idea to take that first part and expand it into a full song actually. Would be cool to hear it.

The later part where the tone and tune sound darker could make another good song where the overall tone of a slumber party gets dark and just incredibly absurd.

Overall, hilarious loop.

[CLAB - suddle vs Richard]

Very classy and awesome backing track!

suddlenuance has some interesting rhymes and sounds rather serous as if he was kind of sad about the person he was having to rap against. Great rhymes too. Then his come backs sound like they are rather nonsensical as if he had no idea what to say either.

richja223 has a slightly more interesting line since he cuts the vocals off for a moment at the start and then goes on as normal for the rest of the time. Then his second time around his come backs all sound rather great and humorous at the same time too.

Overall, my vote easily goes to richja223!

[SWAG CITY]

Excellent track! Really enjoyable beat and sounds like something to do a full rap song to at the same time. Possibly about swag or ripping on some genres that one doesn't like or people that just upset the person singer.

The vocals saying go also kind of sound a little like some dog barking just a bit too, interesting.

The whistles and claps are great. Where did you find the whistle samples from? The drums sound really nice and some loud pumping bass kicks pump up the song by a lot. The siren gives a feeling of something about to go down too.

Overall, awesome and interesting piece.

DiroNomer responds:

Thanks man, I really appreciate the review ;)

I see how the background vocals could be interpreted as dog barking as that would, in a strange way, go well with the song. I downloaded the whistle from a "Free sound samples website" with a bunch other samples as well. I completely forget the name of the site. Idk, there's a bunch of other similar websites...

Anywho, yeah. I purposefully made this as a freestyle/rip track, but I wanted to make sure it was an enjoyable instrumental as well, and not something repetitive.

Again, thanks for the comment.

:D

[CLAB - Senator vs Gasmasq]

Awesome background beat actually, sounds like a great rap battle beat and has a dark tone to it at the same time.

SenatorJohnDean has great and fast rolling rhymes and he sounds like he belongs on some record label too with his lines. Hilariously impressive how in the comeback he goes far faster than he did the first time, did he feel rushed a bit or something? Really good though!

"COMBO BREAKER!" Excellent line!

Gasmasq sounds like a gamer too and I can picture him with glasses too and he has some good lines. Then he gets louder in his comeback and sounds as if he was a bit angry too. Very interesting rhymes but doesn't sound like total insults either.

Overall, a little bit of a hard one to vote on but my vote goes to SenatorJohnDean.

[CLAB - Byron vs Scuare]

This was an interesting battle. Funny how the start is soft and then the beat comes in at full throttle.

Bryon has some incredibly fast rhymes and comments that just roll off of his tongue. Then during the comeback his rhymes are mixed with some hilarious insults so nice work there. Also has a great voice too for making great raps.

Scuare is just as fast and not too bad how he uses minimal effects to make it sound like more than one person sometimes too. Then Scuare tried to come back with some insults but unlike Bryon it doesn't sound incredibly great sadly. Although Scuare has a better voice in this one too.

Overall, tough call but my vote goes to Scuare!

[Up up up up up up up]

Very calm tune and it seems to make you feel relaxed too. Could imagine you playing this at a live show right after a really chaotic track to get people calmed down and then slowly build back up to on final song for people to feel good to after this one. Great track though, very relaxing.

The build up wind noise is great and seems to make one think of a windy day where the day is just slow. The synth sounds great and the whole time it sounds incredibly cheery. Then I hear some use of Gross Beat on the synth, great creativity too.

Drums have a great loud drum kick going for them that seems to get one up off the chairs and just into a dancing mood. What is the voice I hear saying by the way? I hear it for a moment but not too sure of it is saying.

Enjoy around 3:19 that I hear a violin coming in and then fading away as if trying to say everything is OK and that the week will get better and better as long as one keeps their head up. Also hear a lighter synth that gives a feel good feeling. The deep bass is great and would probably be even better if played in a vehicle with the bass turned up and pumping.

Overall, amazing track, very well done, and sounds terrific.

[~SW~ Starstruck]

This song has an awesome feel to it and sounds like it would make an awesome cosmic boss battle theme too. Very awesome song, I like it a lot.

The little light popping sounds I hear make me think of someone starting to pop popcorn and I hear it giving a ping pong effect going from one ear to the other ear and back and forth again. Then the main synth has a chaotic rhythm that seems rather hard to keep up up with and I hear the use of Gross Beat later into the song, not bad at all.

The bass is smooth and sounds like an atmospheric piece being used to help build up the song. The drums are great and I like how it always starts with a drum kick before going on.

Overall, awesome song, I like it a lot, looking forward to future works.

Hi there, SCTE3! Another great review, thanks!

"This song has an awesome feel to it"
:D

"The little light popping sounds I hear"
That's actually a hi-hat - I have it playing a somewhat random rhythm between each ear, yeah. I can see how it'd sound like popcorn, though I was definitely not expecting anyone to think of that... o_o

"Then the main synth has a chaotic rhythm that seems rather hard to keep up up with"
Yep. Thanks, Gross Beat. What I did there was had 4 different Gross Beat rhythms going, switching between each of them with automations every measure.

"The bass is smooth and sounds like an atmospheric piece being used to help build up the song."
Yep! :D That's exactly what it is. One absurdly massive pad used to back it up.

"looking forward to future works."
You got it! Already got another one in the RRC for that reason, and I'm planning to finish another one by next week.

[Hold On]

Really calm sounding song and I like how it just has a guitar and vocals going on. I hear a slight echo in the background that happens after you finish a line.

As far as improving this song goes, I hear a click in the background at one point like moving your feet. The other problem is backing away from the microphone so that when you get loud with your vocals that the microphone won't pick up static.

Overall, not bad, nice work here.

Hey, thanks! :D

Yeah, I decided to keep it untouched, mastering wise. Was just a rough take but I liked it. Soulful. Thanks for the review. :)

[Pewdiepie dubstep]

Very simple beat and sounds well executed. Lovely quotes from PewDiePie too to fit the song too. I like how it has a dark sinister tone to it as if you never know what is around the corner of a corridor in Amnesia or most horror games. The wubs were great and then there are those deep wub sounds that sound even better.

Overall, great PewDiePie dubstep remix.
