Dj-Brand0's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Eurodancer (Qwamii Remix)]

Nice

Nice remix, awesome classic :D I thought the stutter leads were cool with the kick and bass. Probably needed some deeper leads but besides that it was fine.

Good work!

This should go in the Hard Dance genre but since THERE ISN'T ONE HERE AT THE AP, I would say.. Dance

DJ-Qwamii responds:

I was thinking the same thing about the violin melody. Until i find a legit song with it, I cant say anything :P

And I gotta sleep early nowadays, for football practice in mornings.... I'll try to stay up long enough today if i can.

[[LK] Euphoria]

[Boom boom pow(Z-tone Remix)]

Niceeee

This is awesome! Just I kind of think that your saw goes a bit low and cracks up bit too much. It sounds awesome but at points it kinda sounds like its struggling.

Awesome stuff! Downloaded.. just what I was looking for. :D

Keep it up!

-Cheers Brando

Z-Tone responds:

cool
yeah i tha cracking saw whas the sound i intended to make:P
so thats more of a compliment than a criticism :D
but it could be maybe compressed a little more i guess:P
but thanks for the review:P

[Destiny's Betrayal]

Nice song..

This has a nice atmosphere to it and a nice tune. I loved the effects and FX you used, the massive reverb sounded awesome and made the main synth really stick out amongst the crowd.

A very fast tempo and some really nice leads but i'll get straight to my point.

This sounds really repetitve to me. I think it might be because you didn't really progress the melody through, it just came in and stayed like that, then re appeared etc.

You had one melody through the song and I didn't see really much morphing of it that's why I say it sounds repetitve.

The kick was interesting.. as I said with the tempo it was a really fast song.. and the percussion was really insane, like the hats.. I think they were too loud for the song.. I don't quite know how to explain it. But they sounded mashed up.

I suppose it's not a bad thing but I would'nt personally use it.

The bell I thought was a good idea but it was heavily overused and got quite annoying. But in the end it was an alright song but I think you should have spent some more time on it.

I could hear that you were progressing a bit but it wasn't shown to be the main attraction. In the background there were changing sounds but you had to dig deep to notice it. You just need to figure out the volumes and balance of what you want shown and what not. Though from this you will learn and make even better songs.

Keep up the good work, although doesn't get my 10.

i vote on how much i enjoyed the song and review on how well built it was =]

im making more to attempt next weeks BotW anyways. ive already done 2 version of it. this one is the final called plains of eternity and will be much better than this =]

[Kazmo - Glazia [NG Edit]]

Amazing :D

This is amazing how you can make something this great using 3xosc. Wish I were that good, I can just make bases and synths with 3xosc. Haven't gotten that deep into it, but I hope I do eventually get as good as you :D I just need to try.

I love the synth in the background of the melody, it sound so deep but... happy :D

Great song, really I don't know what to say.. keep up the good work!!

Always have to hope for the best. Hope for top 5.

Kazmo responds:

I've been using 3xOsc for a while now, just takes time to get the hang of it, experiment. :P

Thanks for the support, I hope so too!

[{Dj-L} Jump Hard]

Hey man.

Good stuff. I don't generally listen and make jumpstyle but this isn't too hardcore anyway. There's a few too many minor notes here but that's fine, it's just like your style.

Keep up the good work, havn't got much here in this review. Just a quick one because I don't have much time and I realized this one doesn't have my contribution :)

Keep it up!

-Cheers Brando

Meonly70 responds:

Thanks man, I have listened to this song so many times, I don't think I would ever be able to change the notes.

[Tranced Conjugate]

Nice.

You've got a good calming trance tune here. By the sounds of it you don't have sample packs but this is great for fl presets.

Keep working on it, this will only get better. Try using more FX to strengthen the main lead at 2:25 and add some reverb and delay on some of the percussion.

You've payed a lot of attention to detail here and that's great. That's what matters. My songs don't have a hell of a lot of detail because what I make is too much for my comp to handle so detail is hard to add. Well small details of course.

But still good work, this is a good song, has potential.

Just keep working on it.

Fight4nothing responds:

Best review ive ha din a while haha. Appreciate it.

[test tune 2]

Nice

Pretty calming tune. The strong synths and guitar pads work well. I was hoping for more of a progress to a melody but nothing really happened.

At 2:23 you brought in a slight high pad chord and I was thinking that you would bring in a harder synth with a more complex progressed melody. I guess this needs more work. It's a good melody you have it, just needs more detail on the structure.

Keep it up!

omacron6 responds:

thanx.
ya, it still needs alot of work.
thanx for the tips and feedback

[Battle 2 the end(Z-Tone remix)]

Nice and epic! :D

Really nice epic intro. Great orchestral use. Love the bells leading up to the melody, they're so.. soft but cool :D :P Same goes with the lead it's so.. clear and unique.

The melody's awesome but I think the bass note is wrong at 1:49. I know you intended it to be a long hit base but I don't think it sounds right. The wrong baseline starts on that note for the rest of the melody but I think it should be changed so that it hits the right note. I don't know what you think but it's just my opinion and first thought.

Really good drum use and the beats are nice.
Lol the 8 bit at the end, awesome. Didn't notice it before. Really nice.

Keep up the good work.

-Cheers Brando

--Would be even better extended.

Z-Tone responds:

thanks dude yeah that bell is a definite score i think
its that extra something
and the bass note could be wrong i have to check
thanks for a great review
and yeah i will keep on extending it and so on

btw you where right the bass was off i fixed it
