[Azazal & Said - I Said Meow]

Ok. I'm gonna post my review in Cat and in English.

The mastering is done really well. While not being too hardcore for a Glitch Hop song, you did very well on this. Be sure to let Said know this too. You guys did really good.
5/5

(Meow, meow meow meow. Meow meow meow meow, meow meow. Meow meow Said meow meow. Meow meow.

Meow/Meow)

:P

The cat translation was really good! You sound like a native speaker!

FL Studio 12 takes time to adjust, trust me.
This is your best song yet by FAR! Good job!
But, as always...

Mastering is a bit better, but it needs to be as loud as possible without exceeding 0 db. You're on the right track.
Song structure is a bit better, but it sounds empty. You need more sound design.
If you added an outro similar to the intro, the loop would play smoother.
That's actually all I have to say this time.
You did better this time, and I'm proud of you.

Thanks, daddy ;0

This sounds very out of tune in some places.
The song structure needs a TON of work.
The transitions are too rough.
Perhaps this would suit a video game if nothing was going on, and everything is calm, but you still need to make it sound interesting.
Most people would pity you for this being your first song, but I won't because I wanna help you get better, and do whatever it takes to do so.
You really have to master your music, and you know that.

You're really good and you must understand your DAW really well, but at the end of the day, if it doesn't sound good, it isn't.

I've got lots of stuff to say here:

There are some super raw cuts in the melodies in some places.
There's no Drum N Bass in this Drum N Bass song.
Maybe a few quiet snare rolls here or there, in the background of only one instrument that doesn't take a lot of space.
Song structure is a bit better than other songs, only a BIT.
I love the intro, this being the whole song, which brings us to song structure.
There are very raw transitions between bars, and lots of unnecessary and unexpected transitions.
In this case, there's no intro, buildup, drop, breakdown, or outro, which is everything a Drum N Bass song should contain.
I know this is only one of your first songs, but experiment, and try. There's no excuse not to.

Other than that, if you make an effort to improve, maybe you'll get some more stars.
You know I hate giving half stars, but honest feedback and strong constructive criticism helps producers, not pity.

Yes! This is much better! It's a bit louder for one thing, but still:

I compared this song volume to mastered songs, and I've come to the part where I'm disappointed you didn't learn anything, except making stuff louder by a decibel or two.
I like the piano. It's very classical, but the genre doesn't say classical, so it doesn't fit.
All I heard in this song was a piano, some percussion, and that's it.
That's never it for dance, especially with that song structure.
This is not a song people would rave to, or even move to.
Maybe this song as a whole can work as a semi-intro, but still.
So nothing has changed, except volume by a couple of decibels.

I'm disappointed by now, Ryan.
You keep making the same mistakes.
You're capable of really good music, but you're just being lazy.
I used to be lazy with songs I used to dare call "Dance", and let's just say, there's a reason they're not uploaded.
When you're not lazy, you're not bad.
Making music is tough, but if you're putting as much effort as everyone else truthfully, you should be able to produce music as good as others.
If, however, you ARE putting the same effort as others when making your music currently, that's not an excuse. That means you're just not as good yet, and you need lots of practice.
You'll need more effort to pull it off, so put more effort.

A bit better than other songs, good job!
But I still have some feedback:

You really need some mastering. This is way too quiet, and given the selected genre, this doesn't fit.
Song structure is crucial for this genre. If you were to picture someone dancing to this at a party on full speakers, what would everyone else's perspective be?
Yes, you have a good piano, not to mention the melody and chords, but it's still really empty.
Having it in an intro or a breakdown, etc would be an excuse to emptiness.
If you wanna get better, you really have to try.

This is only my opinion, so please don't take it offensively.
I'm strict on reviewing, and point out anything that needs improvement, but only because I know you're capable of good music. You just need an extra shove to get there.
You're making your way, but you can definitely go further, so I'll give you the extra half star for effort.

[{DjR}PartyRoom]

You're on the right track, but looking how you wanted it to be a dance song, here's my feedback:

It's missing a lot of elements, like mid frequencies, and basses.
Music, no matter what genre, is supposed to make you feel certain emotions, and be interesting.
Sound design needs a lot of work, regarding quantity.
As for song structure, everything is on the same page, which isn't very good.
An example of good song structure is anything that changes frequency wise and volume wise.
Some parts must be quiet for other parts to be loud, and vice versa.
As for mastering, this song is very quiet, even when I turn up my volume a couple notches.
Mastering is raising all elements while keeping it below 0 db, and keeping it's dynamics.
Not only that, but it seems that there's no audio after 1:50 or so.

You need lots of improvement, but don't worry! You'll get there soon!

[Dikó -Jack The Ripper-]

This is a very well song. Good job!
