DaveGuy's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-C h ii p e r]

you are DEFINITELY onto something here...

It seems like you tried to make the song too complex and stuff. But when you later on make more songs, try going to youtube and finding out how to use the mixer and automations. Yes, the first time I heard this I was sooo confused haha.

Back on topic: Try not make it so repetitive. Nice melody you got in there those. Choose a better bass synth that doesn't sound distorted, or just add another background sound to it. Basically remaster it. This was ALOT better than my first song. It's too horrible to be on NG. I would have been lucky to get a 3 with my first song. Keep working on your skills and you could become really good someday! Because you definitely seem to be onto something here.

Do you mind checking out some of my techno music? I give you the knighthood honor of doing your FIRST music review on one of my songs! haha. =)

[True Question]

you could become good

Pretty good for a first song. Alot better than MY first song. It's too bad to be on NG. I'm am 100% sure it would get a score of like 2.3 (overestimated guess). If you keep on working on your skills, (took me 6 months cause I started in april 2009) you could make some really good jumpstyle/techno stuff. But try to add a background sound in there and make it not so repetitive. The surprising thing about this 1st song is that people would actually dance to this.

[SubtleForces - Rushing Calm]

WOOT!

this song is awesome. I totally hope nobody zerobombs this. that would suck. YOu deserve to be on top weekly with this type of stuff. Keep it up! Also, If you use FL Studio, how do you add a gating effect to a regular pad synth like synth string - seriphim for example? Explain it to me in the best way you can if you have time.

Btw, you just got yourself a

SubtleForces responds:

Mate u are totally too kind

For the gate, I should ask are u using FL Studio 7 or 8. If it is 8, it is SOOOOOOOOO easy. If not, well em, I will think ;)

Get ur instrument linked up too an effects channel, then select Soundgoodiser. Muck around and u will find some setting u like. For a strings, mebbe use fruity love filter, and under presets find the "Gate" presets and muck about till u get something u want ;)

Once again thanks for ur kind review ;)

[Forget About Me]

Cool

i loved that synth you used. Nice melody you have going there too. All it needs now is an extra background sound haha. 9/10 bro. Keep it up!

Why don't you check out some of my techno/trance songs?

Fox-Donut responds:

Thanks a lot DaveGuy, i'll be sure to check out your stuff too.

[In Da Trance]

WOW

alot better than MY first audio (which isn't on NG). This is actually really good. You are really going somewhere with your music making career. Quite a relaxing song actually. But It fit's mainly in the trance genre. Seeing it's kinda trancy relaxing techno and also because of the title you have haha. KUTGW man. Continue your music making career, get famous.

I make techno too! do you mind checking that out?

NickShadius responds:

For a nice review like that, why not?

Thanks for the review. It kinda reminds me of Enya.

[8-bit Boss Battle 2]

Please tell me..

why is the simplewave animation BELOW the frequency line? Pm me about that. =)
Great song btw!

[Hide and Seek {Techno Mix}]

oh my god

You definitely accomplished something with this song. And this "COULD" also possibly go into the pop genre and be on the top 20 on 20 XM radio but it is better in the techno genre. But yeah, YOU just got yourself a:

fishfood2021 responds:

That's really nice of you to say! :D I'd love to hear this remix on XM Radio lol.

[.:Restart:.]

great

I have to say I am quite impressed. My only criticism would have to be the fact that it gets kinda repetitive after awhile. and hey, my brother "Isoken" is his username, uses that high pitched bell synth and moonray in his songs. you should check him out!

[Senior Citizens]

Yes, I understand you were bored but..

It has a nice tempo and all but please fix up that WAYYY distorted bas synth that sounds like a truck engine. And try to put some other sounds in there too. Add an extra melody in there also. And all you used was presets, try not to use too many presets in this songs, in fact, all songs. I'm not saying it's bad to use them, I'm saying it's bad to OVERuse them (lol people have gotten me wrong about that)

[Prologue (loop)]

Pretty cool yo.

I like how you made the song sound so far away by putting reverb on everything. (echoey deep far tunnel large far away mountains effect). Yes I know it's a loop that plays the same thing over and over again, but just try to add abit more variety to it. Because to tell you the truth, it's just a teensy weensy bit repetitive. Maybe put another melody in. Anyway it's your choice.

My apologies for the overly long review. =)
