Dj-Brand0's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Flames of the Sky]

SOOOO GOOD

Love this song, it's so epic. Loved it when i came to NG 2-3 years ago. Epic for ever.

[Intro To Jumpstyle]

Not bad.

I don't think it was a bad kick. Rather good for a jumpstyle kick. I mean I don't listen to much jumpstyle, because I um.. really don't like it. But I think the kick was good, but the lack was the background percussion - such as your hats and claps.
Cant forget them. The kick was a bit loud but still fairly good. Good use for effects, keep it up.

Skylence responds:

ya i guess i should jst spend some more time working on my percussion loops and the whole background of my songs

[Rise Of the Sun 2]

Hey Sky

Yea, this is better but the mastering didn't do much. The whole song's setup is the problem. As hearless said, the melody is repetitive and you should try starting off by scratch. Try listen to some nice trance songs for a good example of song setup and also some nice inspiration. Renoak did a good job, but I reckon it would have been better for her to recommend a whole change.
Anyway, keep it up.

-Cheers Brando

Skylence responds:

Renoak is a guy! lol and alright ill start from scratch

[~EnV~Heaven Rd. 2 (Ng mix)]

Niceee

I've listened this song over 100 times and it's still damn good, Deadlypope, it's probably already in clubs lol.
Loved it, envy Epic artist.

10/10

[mateya - Solarwaves]

Pretty nice

The name Solarwaves fits in the the whole pumping bass. Up and down, up and down :D Umm yes, the bass was pretty cool, could see you bouncing around the room makin this song, it'd get you all hyped up. ^_^ I don't see the need to have a main melody here, the whole thing flowed nicely. It was a good trance. I liked it :D
10/10 5/5 Keep it up Mateya!

-Cheers Brando

[Rise Of The Sun]

Nice

Hey Skylence, To say this is your best work - I would agree, gratz! But you have far to go. Man have you downloaded Vengeance Essential Clubsounds yet? That's a must. If you want to improve heaps you have to take on new samples. To the song, I think the bass could have been louder, like BudD said. The kick was good. The crashes and symbols were also not bad aswell. You're definitely getting better. The lead was slightly repetitive, did you have any subleads on it? or was it just singular? Also I noticed something at the end, the song finishes like it has been cut off. There looks to be 3 or 4 notes missing from the finish.
Again not bad, but you can improve heaps.
7/10 4/5

Skylence responds:

aite thanks

[Yelltek - I'm Sorry]

Another song of absolute perfection.

Damn guys, You're songs are soo good. I can't find any flaws in anything here, the sounds are soo clear, the bass is perfect, there is no underpowering and nothing that's too loud. It's absolute perfect, I love it. The leadup was great, the piano again was madd, when the tune came in it was like all your other songs, although I was kind of hoping for a different type of mello intro. Because even though you've only made two songs, I find it overused. When the sub melody came in with the breakbeat. It was cool :D perfect again :) WOO Keep it up guys! xD Madd stuff.
I swear you have to put your songs in clubs, it would sound so damn good.
5/5 10/10 + downloaded/faved.

-Cheers Brando

Yelltek responds:

yeah i know, in our new song we got some new shit ;D
anyway thank you very much for the review and support! :D

[Mephiles (FL Mix)]

Hey again!

I loved this song. ! The drums were awesome! The really bass-ey lead was also really madd. At 0:56 I was like O_O. It sounds soo cool. Although I don't know what game this is from it's definitely a great drum and bass song! I liked the tune and the piano tune. The effects were good and layout was great. I can't find any improvements. :D You've surely done a good piece. This song would sound so awesome in a action fight scene. As I said 0:53 onwards is so fitting for an action scene. Keep up the awesome work. This has potential for weekly top 5 for sure, its a bugger you missed the judgement day (Tuesday)
Keep up the good work bro! Madd stuff.
5/5 10/10

Thanks for your review, I appreciate it! I'll try to keep the standard up XD

[NCIS Theme (Cover)]

Hey Gav

Pretty nice, when you said you were making a NCIS cover song for newgrounds I was pretty interested :) And now I'm here listening to it, I like it. The piano was great, little bit soft compared to the bass. In response to the actual bass, it's good! Also the small acid effect in the background was really nice :D The tune wasn't repetitive and you didn't really drag it on. If you introduced more pianos eventually it would have sounded pretty nice. The small strings you can hear also sound nice, although again - it's soft compared to the bass. You had a good shot it and did pretty well. Nice work! Keep it up ;D
5/5 10/10

-Cheers Brando

[Anxiety Cure _ RR]

Lol :D Gratz

Grats on the weekly top 5 lol. You lucky one :D I liked the overall song, it was actually pretty good. I liked the cuttoff you did at 1:05. It was pretty nice but you can hear the change in the dial as it went down. I think you should have used the automation and made it a more abrupt change. Your percussion was fairly good but I think the lead you used got eventually a bit old. If you had more leads through the song, it would have sounded better and I would have liked it more.

Other than that I liked it! Keep up the good work, you're surely good at attracting A-Bot's weekly top 5 pick.

5/5 9/10

RenoakRhythm responds:

Thanks DJ Brando.... ya i'm getting kinda lucky here. OH well, i'll take what i can get... it sure is motivation to get better.

Thanks for the detailed review. I always read through your reviews when i'm making a song to remind myself not to forget anything... like notice how many things are in percussion this time? Oh and my Work in Progess has a ton more percussion and better mixing and better most stuff... so keep those awesome reviews comin...

Thanks, later.
