Dj-Brand0's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[On we go]

Out of the ordinary.

I would have to agree with Timmy but not about the 0 vote. The start was really slow and it kind of put me off wanting to listen to it. The percussion is very repetitive for about 30 seconds at a time. If you sped the progression up more, this could be a great song, because you'll get more listeners and progress further into the song; in return making it better overall.
If you construct an introduction you don't have to go through the whole sound introduction, which takes a while; it brings you into the song faster.
Hopefully this helps. =D

Thanks, this does help! (wow I need to check this more often lol) I'm probably gonna overhaul this song now...

[Dance in Silence]

Fantastic XD

Great job truly sounds epic. Keep making songs! With all the new Asian 3d mmorpgs coming to life you should have a spot in there for bg music.
Gl with your future songs.

InnerFlame00 responds:

Thanks for your great review! I really love writing music, so doing it for a job would be super awesome hehe

[Dance in the Sunlight]

Wow

This sounds really cool. :D It's really relaxing and peaceful. Would be great background music for an online game. Love the flute in the background also, sounds great. Great composure of notes, greatly adds to the atmosphere.

Good work, love to hear more !

InnerFlame00 responds:

I'm glad you liked it! This was actually a slight change from what I normally do, so I'm glad it turned out well.

Hmmm..

I think first off i agree with Dj infinity, for my liking it is an unusual hardstyle song, there were a few sections in the song which I couldn't think of a genre to fit. From 1:42 - 4:40 I would call that hardstyle, but the rest could need a touch up.
Personally I don't like the bass. I'm used to listening to the traditional hardstyle/nu style bases, they usually all have something in common but the bass you used in this is weird. It doesn't sound like a hardstyle base. The lead is good, the bass in the main melody is too high, lower it and it should sound much better. I got no idea what happened between 3:48 - 4:01, very unique choice of break beat. Big review :) Gl with ur future songs.

To the parts I liked 10/10 5/5, the whole song 8/10 4/5.

Hotplurplegnome responds:

this is more old skool hardstyle than nu-style and yeah the main bass was a bit wierd i know...
thanks anyway for a great review and you should listen to more oldskool hardstyle like zany, showtek and so on
but yeah THANKS!

[Yelltek - Maddah Fakkah(D]

Nice rhythm ;)

Sounds pretty good, nice nu style. Good lead, nice piano, good pads, nice kick + bass. Overall it's pretty good. One thing, did you make that kick yourself or have you got a sample pack? I've been looking around for some nu style sample packs but so far I've only found a few 10-20mb useless packs. I was just also wondering where you got them, if you did get a pack. Thx.
I made this new song, it's called Hard Soundz, it's Nu Style. See what you think.
Thx

Yelltek responds:

Thanks man, i listened to your song, its great! :D
I made the bass by myself but the kick is half homemade, i took some other sample and mixed it up, i can send you some good samples i got, just add me on msn ! :)

Hmmm.. :)

Hey Cyberpot ;)
Still using the old Fl sounds I see, but you still did a good job. Just a few things need to be tweaked. Such as adding of a propper bassline, I would say the kick isn't loud enough and it is too umm.. how could I say it, hard/high.. I like clubby/trance kicks and I think that they would suit better. I don't think many people review songs purely made with fl defaults, because they find it hard too say it's good or not. Like i said a while ago, I gave you links to Vengeance samples, you should consider downloading them because they'll make your songs sound 10x better and 10x more professional. My vote 5/5 10/10 ;D
Thats all for now ;)

CyberPot responds:

Hey Dj-Brand0.

Actually i tried to download them some day, but i had to download some other torrent program or something like that. I did but it still didnt work, i downloaded the torrent from pirate bay. After a while i gave up. Instead i have been downloading some free VST´s, from the new, which i use a lot now. Anyway, if you could tell me how to download the torrent i would be happy :D

[Vortex of life]

Hmm... the arp :S

Overall the song sounds professional, however I don't like the arp that you used. I loved it from 2:00-3:10, then the arp came back in. I'm not saying it's a bad arp but I think it was a wrong choice. The tune that is introduced at 2:00 is great and I loved it, although you could have incorporated that into more parts of the song. But instead you introduced the arp it back in and cutting out all the good tune with a repetitive arp. Intro was great, outro the same, overall sounds, not too bad. :D
Damn I hope I don't criticize too much. :\
Good work, good first two songs, keep it up.
4/5 for the song *12/10* for the tune (2:00~3:00) :D
=_=" can't go over 10/10 ^^

[Dark Frequence]

Nice

Hardstyle :D Nice tune, it's a little bit repetitive though... but that's how hardstyle is =D. Nice kick and bass, same with the background effects. Percussion wasn't too bad, equally ballanced. Good use of effects. Good intro. Found something which could be changed, if you consider it. at 2:10 when the tune dies the kick keeps playing. Personally I think it would sound better with a slightly lighter kick in those 10 or 20 seconds where the bass dies, it brings out the break tune into more of a leadup to the next segment. Hope this bit of info helps you make it better :D Overall good job, was hard to find something to improve on. 5/5 9/10
Keep up the good work!

[ParagonX9 - Infiltration]

Wow nice :D

This sounds great, the bass is nice, the drums are fine, and there's nothing wrong with the structure. Sounds great for Stepmania. Although the sound at the start sounds distorted and weird, then the bass comes in at 0:12 and loved it from there on. Good use of pads in the break beats, same with the acid and the effects you used were nice. Overall a great song. 5/5

Why not check out my new song, it's called Feeling Trance. As the name says, it's trance. See what you think, maybe you might be able to point some things out. Thanks ParagonX

ParagonX9 responds:

Thanks! .. Im glad you liked it. And i'll check out your new song too!
Thanks for the review!
