Dj-Brand0's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[_=Hooligan=_]

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
10/10 5/5

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 ! :)

Nicee

Love the vocals too, they're cut so cleanly. Must be an acapella :) lol. Was a nice song, good job. Also a nice tune. I can't really say too much, haven't REALLY heard any uk hardcore before so yea.. good work, love to hear more !

10/10 5/5

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

[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

Brando

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 :)

[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:

i know what u mean by distorted xD but...
at the time i've made this beat... my head was just
disoriented xD so i just made it without thinking O_o

drugs are baad xD

i'm gonna look what i can do at the intro...
thx 4 da review
