Dj-Brand0's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[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!

[(BT) Energy]

Nice!

Structure was great, sounds all fitted, vocals were fine, no problem with basses or leads, synths were great, background piano was also great.
Good work, might download =]
10/10 5/5

BlizzardTears responds:

Thank you.

Will give my best in the future =)

[DJ-Kat - Pop]

hmm...

The bass could use lots of fixing. It doesn't change a single note throughout the song and also doesn't stop or start at any points either. It starts to get annoying. At about 1:12 I think you could have cut out the bass until 1:36, it would have sounded good. That bass doesn't sound good without a kick by its side. Anyway, the drums were placed in the right order. Percussion was fine, arps could have been altered in parts (same goes with the bass). I think the actual tune could have changed aswell, it seems very repetitive by the end of the song. The use of effects was good, hats were fine, pads weren't too bad.
Yeah.. thats all I've got, song wasn't too bad.
3/5 6/10

Be sure to check out my new trance song, it's only a demo at the moment but I'm look for criticism so I can make it better by the time I finish it. It's called Feeling Trance.

omgitskatman responds:

its a very good trance beat, but yeah i should of worked more on the bass....
i was too lazy btw lol, and who gives a fuck

[-<- New Basshunter Song ->-]

Needs some improvement

This song is called Fest Folk by Basshunter if I'm not wrong. It came out a while ago, probably like a year ago. Basshunter posted the notes of the song on youtube and from there the remixes went crazy. It's a good song and I still love to listen to it.
As for your song, I think you could have improved the organ like sound that went throughout the song. If you can't find anything that sounds right add effects from the effects mixer in FL.
All the notes were fine, the bass was alright, still could have added effects there. The clap didn't sound right, it was too quiet and ordinary. The kick sounded like the default fl kick.
Try look out for sample packs on the internet. If you widen your access to sounds you can improve your songs by far.

Just realized that the name you called this song is referring to a new version of the basshunter song you've made. Oh well ^^ lol

Overall good work, keep it up.
Be sure to check out my songs, see if I need any improvements. =]
8/10 3/5

CyberPot responds:

Hi Dj-Brand0 :)

Thanks for your review.
Atm i use the demo version of Fl studio, because i havent bought it yet lol, anyway you said something about sample packs. Is it possible to download those sample packs to the demo version? Oh and because i use demo, i cant save any of my projects, and work on them later :=(
I know the clap was low, but i dont really know how to make it louder :/
And about the effects mixer, i have no idea how to use it, (i am very new to FL hehe).
Oh and the kick was the "Hard kick" from Sytrus btw.

Again thx for your review, your music sounds great :)

[MortaL KombaT R!-miX]

Hey

All the notes are pretty much right. The main sound you used throughout the whole song which followed the melody started to get repetitive. If you widen your selection of sounds it would improve your songs by heaps, personally I think the FL defaults are really plain. PM me and I might be able to get you a hold of some new sound packs and stuff.
Ruddy88 said it all, cant really think of much else to add.
4/5 9/10

[Next Generation (RdM MiX)]

Percussion! =D

This is much better than the original, although it isn't trance it's still good.
Great that you put percussion into this song, sounds way better. The saw you used for the main tune sounds good, sounds like something out of nexus. Although the internal effect the saw has made it sound bad, for example at 0:52 where the saw-main tune was introduced. There are more saws in nexus that sound similar to the one you used, maybe you should experiment with them. ;)
I'll give this 10/10 4/5

Maybe check out my songs, might be your style.

[(DJ Martcore) Next generation]

great song but...

This sounds great, love the trance. The piano melody kept me listening..
BUT where is the percussion?... hats, (i hear the kicks) but where's the claps, rides, crashes etc. (I think i heard some crashes but they were very quiet)
Without the percussion it makes your song very bleak.
Still overall sounds good, but there are corrections to be made in this song.

7/10 4/5

[PsYKkKoOo]

bit distorted =\ but still good

Yeah it's a bit distorted, the kick and the lead don't fully work together but, it's not my style I could be wrong =] Overall it's pretty good, there's some change in the tune so it's not so repetitive, but at the start change some of the melody so it leads up from an intro.
5/5

orken90 responds:
