[Detious & Lockyn - Gradient]

Rhythmic and fun, and a satisfying length. Maybe one or two parts are high pitch, but I don't care, it's too good to get any lesser rating!

Lockyn responds:

Thanks man! We're glad you enjoyed. Look out for some future collabs ;) Cheers!

[Sequence]

Love all of it, particularly the tune at the climax, reminds me well of something I've heard, and the track is, to me, Deadmau5's beat style with Pendulums melodies at a few parts with something truly unique floating around in there.

If you (Lockyn) come to read this, would you mind telling me at least some of the plugins and effects used for the leads? Thanks for not only if you tell me, but for simply putting this song up for us!

Lockyn responds:

Hey! Thanks for the review, I'm overwhelmed that you compared it to Deadmau5 or Pendulum xD Whole different league than me, but I appreciate the sentiment :)

I would totally tell you what plugins and effects I used, but it would be kind of hard for me to do that since I made everything from scratch. There are no presets in this song! I can tell you that I used Sytrus to make a lot of the basses, pads, arps, leads, and I used some Harmless and Toxic Biohazard as well. As for effects, to explain without getting too technical here, I used copious amounts of EQ and Fast Distortion on a lot of the sounds. What I said here doesn't describe everything accurately, but I hope I at least satisfied some of your curiosity. If you'd like to know more, please PM me!

Thanks again, and cheers :)

[Trance test thingy]

Sounds professional, and I am pretty sure that tune is at least inspired by ParagonX9's Chaoz Fantasy, but it doesn't sounds stolen.

Octrox responds:

That might be possible, although I didn't think of that track while making this :)

[Twisted Candy *FULL*]

Really intense and bassy, a tad chaotic later on, almost too much, and also the ending is a bit too sudden for me, taking off half a star, but hey, no music is perfect, I should know first hand.

Still deserves an almost perfect score!

MadhouseDUDE responds:

Extended the track with a melodic part at the 3 minute mark. Enjoy :)

[In Depth]

A bit mild for me, but I really love the tune and the various harmonics really work well together. Good stuff!
