DaveGuy's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[RM] - Night Time WIP2]

sounds cool

congrats on top weekly 5, One of my constructive criticisms is that I see you put like a soundgoodizer thing on the bass, so it doesn't sound low enough. Or at least I think it's a goodizer. Maybe just add another bassline and keep one there rather than replacing it with a lower bass.

The kick drum is good although it may be unnecessary, just maybe raise the kickdrum by abit, but you don't have to.

the synths and melodies were good Not too repetitive so that's good also =).
I liked that piano that was on a fast delay. good job!

I like that bongo sounding synth that was just the star of it all. Without that it would sound kinda boring.

One thing else I noticed was a slight phasing on the bass. That was just totally cool.
keep it up bro!

This is areally good song and I just can't wait to hear the full version of it. congrats but sorry at the same time that the unfinished version had to make top weekly, although it is ALREADY worth being on the top 5, no doubt about that.

Randomizor responds:

Thanks Dave! =3

sigh=)=)=)=)=)=)=)

A better version than last ones. I say this one isn't even offbeat either and I can see you put a slight flanger to it as well. My favorite part was with the deep bass.
This one is a 5/5 11/10 compared to last ones. Good job. I really don't know what to say because it will just come out with me yelling out how good this song is. =)

ShootingStar responds:

Yay :P haha yeah, you kinda influenced me to try out a flanger :P
Thanks for the review!!

marching band

very good for when america won independence, or when us blacks got our rights.
Very good for when an army won a war or was going off to war or something to do with political/military and freedoma nd stuff. Very good indeed! Just try not to waste all of your cymbal claps.There are too many of them in the song.
You should continue with classical music. You are actually good with it.

DJ-Chilvan responds:

Thnx for the review! Yea, this song is very victorious. If you read my previous review response, you will see the history of this song. I agree, the cymbals were a little much, but my next classical piece is going to be a lot more mellow.

[Just Hold On]

cool!

I saw this in a fl studio 9 sample once. It was really cool! It looks like you spent ALOT of work on this with all of those mixing effects you added to your song.
Very relaxing indeed and a great tempo. The first thing I thought of was a large croud of people slowly waving their glowsticks and lighters in the air to the beat of this song. Very mellow. Don't mind verniso, I don't think he checked properly; needs to research his stuff.

5/5
10/10
possibly + 1 fav?

[SN| Riptide Projection |SN]

wow

yes I can tell you are beyond experienced with effects and making music. You should sell someday. It is a mixture of both ambient and dnb YES you're right!.
What I like best about this song is how it just changes mixing effects like every 2 bars and it is just so cool! great job! This could actually be better than paragonx9 DnB who knows.

KUTGW =)

[2012 Apocalypse (loop)]

sounds like 2012 to me.

It sounds AMAZING like there is so much chaos going on like everyone is having a dance party before the astroid hits earth and causes another ice age.
My suggestion for you is that in that in the 29th second of your song, it should break out into a strong compressed kick with the melody still going and a bassline with a fitting hihat and a fitting clapish sound. I hope you understand what I mean.
You seem to be experienced at making music with all of the effects you are using.
great job! hope to see the full version out soon.

georgem124 responds:

Unfortunately I have not seen the 2012 film, I am simply running off my knowledge of the mayan calendar and the 2012 apocalypse book.

I understand what you mean... (:

This may or may not turn into a full song, I am not sure yet.

[_/I wish you were here\_]

cool!

my only problem is that farty bass that "sounds" distorted. Make it less farty thats all. Very good work. Nice melodies and I like how the song keeps the listener interested for what will come next. You should stick to dance & trance music for now on because you seem to be getting the hang of it. trance you are great at. Dance you are AMAZING at (notice rixet).

ShootingStar responds:

Haha :P Thanks for the review!
And yeah, I really need to fix that bass :D

[_/Slip Away\_]

um..

not some of your best, it just sounds out of tune thats all. but i really like all of those effects you put in there. Just try to make the music flow because I can't seem to keep with the beat. It seems somewhat repetitive also. But the mastering is good and the instruments you used? LOVELY, but everything else needs improvement.

4/5
7/10 for now buddy.

=)

ShootingStar responds:

Haha.. so i will definitely change up those intro chords.. but thanks for the review!!

[Chimy727-D@NCE Time!]

yep

you sure nailed it this time. I am satisfied with this song. It is a happy melody sorta like your userpicture with that one smiley face. Keep it up. I can tell by all of the effects that you spent alot of work of this. It is really good! great job!

Chimy727 responds:

thanks a ton, and if you will, please rate it! i have 18 listens and no rates!
thanks again!

[Whatever You Like (Remix)]

Lyrics are too fast

Lyrics should be half speed to stay with the song. When the song started with the lyrics I thought the kick drum was going to be 220 bpm. But I am glad I didn't vote then. Other than that, the instruments and composition were amazing. It's a good song don't get me wrong. Just the lyrics =)
4/5
8.5/10
