DaveGuy's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[(J-Yo) F.Y.M.D. [WIP]]

pretty good

the clap was really annoying in the beginning, it sort of bummed out the lead synth melody there. Until that other synth came in at around 0:54 or whenever. But still try to lower the reverb on that thing. That's basically my only criticism for this song!

sound quality?

HOW did you get the sound quality to sound so good on YOUTUBE??????!!? Everytime I uploadstuff to youtube, the sound quality gets raped bigtime.
Please tell me how. You're probably the only person I will ever find out about this.

back on topic:

The song itself was really good, everything was perfect actually. I have no criticisms because I don't know how to.

IN FACT, I'll even attempt to criticize this song right now:

um.......claps are abit quiet? Srry, that's all I got for you buddy -_-
keep it up!

MrAw3s0me responds:

lol thx , eum for the sound quality i used windows movie maker and selected one of the presets ( best quality for playback , wich was recomended ) , at start the sound quality was all screwed up when i could read the video , but i learned that youtube still encode some time after the video is uploaded and watchable. Of cours the mastering i made helped for that qualty , but its just about the good sampling rate that fit with youtube rate , u might wanna check their FAQ about this , they explain some of the option best for HQ. have a nice day :)

good mix

It's a good mix of all three, congratulations. The melodyline is abit repetitive though, you may want to fix that up a bit, I understand that you tried though. But you know what, it would be interesting to see you put words into your songs! You should totally try it.

good job overall. This is most ambient overall.

Hey do you mind checking out my newest trance song called "my life is good"? I would really like that!

DJ-Chilvan responds:

Thanks! Yea, well, the melody was just random patterns that came into my head, i didnt really focus much on it=P. Eyy, i've been pretty caught up lately so I havent really been able to review stuff. I have heard a couple of your new releases though, including "My Life is Good." Like always, they're amazing! I will review that one right now. I actually am planning to start adding lyrics. I have the mic but i just need an adequate sound card that would make it easier. But since this is a three day weekend for me, I'll probably do some experimenting with my mic and autotune tomorrow to see what I can do.
Thanks again!

really good

Definitely extend it. I think the crowd was abit too loud in some parts though and the crowd didn't have breaks. That's my only criticism.
But yes, this could be something great.

kirja100 responds:

Thanks man!!!

[TBD-TranceTest]

keep it up

You've got yourself a good trance song possibly used in many flash submissions here. Extend this.

ToxicBlizzard responds:

awsome dude
thnx alot (:

[SubtleForces - Requiem]

very interesting

I haven't heard a good "strictly techno" song in a while. The melody was very memorable, it's just abit overused. That's my only criticism.
But it's not enough to take off a point.
5/5

SubtleForces responds:

Ye, melody was just a "four-bar" thing, but I tried to have the variation with different synths. I try :(

[_/Shining Sky\_ (remix)]

alot better!

Sounds alot lighter, definitely better than the previous version! I have no criticisms other than the fact that it was a good trance remix. What I like about your remixes is that you add abit of extra melody to them.

Thx for remixing this!

ShootingStar responds:

Sweet :) Haha thanks for the song to remix!!

ng has lost it's order

I bet that the A bot just randomly picks out songs from a hat out of the new submissions during the week. What ever happened to the good ol' days when good songs made it to
#1?

HVI responds:

It was actually because it was 5/5 at midnight.. and it does actually pick the top 5 songs.. most of the time.

That was years ago :D When people voted correctly.. 20 5's.. no 0's.. sadly, I am ashamed this even went up.

["Glowsticks"]

the melody

catchy indeed. Let's all focus on the melody people! The effects only made the song sound better woot!

[_/Liquid Sound\_ (ng cut)]

very liquidy

The melody is a head-sticky one. That's a good atmospheric feel you have there too. Nice tempo, is that 130 or 140 bpm? I have trouble telling this time.

I don't know why the ratings are so low? you must have gotten zerobombed badly.
So many votes too. I could only bring it up to 4.18 from a 4.14.

ShootingStar responds:

Its ok :) Haha thanks for the review!
