Nice! I always wanted to go in France :)

[Norato - When we first met]

thats a lead sound that brings joy to my ears!
keep rocking man

[Goodbye (Official Audio)]

i agree with BlueOceans,
either the vocals need a boost or the guitar less.
however once you have done one of these things,
maybe u could think about editing the vocals just a little bit?
with a tad reverb maybe,
widen it a bit to make it sound a bit fuller.. or anything of your choice lol

Shabadaman responds:

Thanks for the review, reverb does sound like a good idea!

[Taking Flight (HDF2)]

basically ive heard the song, read most reviews..
my advice;
stay true to who you are.

Music-story responds:

Sure thing, thanks for the listen.

Bye for now

[Shabadaman - Mizule]

so here i am.. still awake while i should be sleeping..
Hello to you sir! haha

the moment i started playing this song i thought it was elektro lol
the first cuttoff (vocal) synth is off key.. you might want to fix that at 0.13 - 0.16

the melody coming in at 0.31 sounds epic! reminded me a bit of hardtrance melodies.
good fill at 1.03! but im not sure what the weird breakbeat/trap beat is about? i dont really like it that much if im honest. you best use a snare roll of some kind, there are serious a thousand ways to do a snare roll.
alright so after the build it sounds good again.
at 1.49 there's a Snare drum overpowering everything with its volume but most with its reverb.. might want to fix it.

hmm again the breakbeat/trap beat..
the main synth is nice in a strange way lol

hmm the outro was a bit like.. IN YOUR FACE and gone.. bit too fast for me.

overall i would say i like this song for 55% the hats where imho perfectly done,
but the structure, the idea behind the song is a bit unclear to me.

my suggestion is that you should try and listen to other trancy songs, study the structure of them and possibly the waveform!

Shabadaman responds:

Thanks for the honest review! I suppose I didn't have a clear direction in my head, maybe that's something i'll work on next time.

[{Title Classified} Teaser]

i hope all this teasing is going to pay off in the end!

[Questions (Original Mix)]

why the dubstep sounds? the song would have been much better without it because the melody is epic enough to do justice! ;)

YakovlevArt responds:

I don't know what you mean about "dubstep sounds".. you mean the bass?
haha, that's not dubstep, it's just a harder bass sound to give the track some diversity ans contrast, it's not unheard of. Ever listen to the sounds of artists like Shogun or even Armin?
