DaveGuy's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[|Never|]

good genre mix

well done, the strong kick drum and less than 140 BPM tempo as well as the sidechaining on the padsaw makes it house, the melodies and the padsaw it self make it trance, and the way the melodies sound.
One thing, the sidechained whoosh at the end (2:52) goes kinda offbeat as you get towards the last beat of the song (most noticable @ 2:54).
And that's my two cents for you. Keep it up, this song has potential to become something great.

5/5
9/10

Hey can you please check out my first house song? I would like some concrit from you also. Thankyou :)

kirja100 responds:

Thank you mate!!!!
I'm very glad :)
Ofcourse I'll check!

[20 Seconds to Comply]

very original

yo dude it's a good dnb song except try to unfilter your drums sometimes and also sometimes let them run the full 4 beat measure. That's about it.
other than that, everything else is good.

Stroberider responds:

Gotcha! Yeah, this piece was a complete nightmare at times when it came closer to the post production because of all the clashing sounds and different leveling of frequencies while maintaining a good enough modulation. Thanks, buddy! And thanks for the nice constructive criticism...always needed!

[Missing You - F-777]

this song makes me sad

The way the melodies are sorta just make me feel nostalgic for someone and it does give off the "missing you" feel. I think that's what got this song to the top weekly 5 instead of the composition of the song, although the composition of this is quite professional indeed.

Keep it up!

[When In Space]

spacey

This is danceable to, but it's more of a videogame song.
=D Keep it up!

[Until Sunrise]

great melodies

Just try to master it more; bring out the saws abit and raise the volume of the kick to make it sound punchy and more moving. Also I know you used platinium saw for one of them but choose something abit more audible.

This is just me nitpicking and being picky. Try these but if they don't work then just continue with the way it is.

5/5
9/10 bud
keep it up!

Indigorain responds:

Ok, thanks! :D
But I don't think I used a platinum saw.
I'll try to increase the kick, not too much, but I'll see what i can do :]
So you mean I need to increase the saw that has the same pattern as the intro? 'cause it's not really clear to me :P
But thanks very much for the review! :D

- I raised the kick volume a bit and brought out the saws as well :]

[SpK*) - Zen]

I like your style

Dude I've listened to alot of your music and I like the originality of it because of the glitchyness and the dirtyness of the beats. Sounds like music someone would use in an animation about a computer glitch or a videogame with a glitch themed level or something.

True successful musicians have a unique style

[Chimy727 -Jupiter Jump!]

all hands

I put my hands up in the air at the happy, united, spacey feel to this song.

5/5
10/10

Chimy727 responds:

Yay daveguy is finally reviewing me again! XD
thanks man!

[the Insult song (swearing)]

creative

This is amazing, I can see it being used in an eddsworld animation. You HAVE to ask eddsworld to use this in a animation.

[Elysium(757irish Remix)]

happy stuff, some improvements...

slightly sidechain everything else to make it sound jumpy and hardcore. Right now It kinda sounds like fast happy dance rather than happy hardcore.

Some other things are that the transition @ 0:53 kinda hurt my ears just because it was slightly distorted and overdone.

Also, you shouldn't just come in with the main melody right away, start off without it or with something else and then add the main melody later on so it doesn't begin to get repetitive, but switching from a saw to a bell @ 0:55 was good thinking :)

Not saying it's bad dude because I'm just nit picking details, but this actually has good melodies and a good drum sequence in it with a great choice of instruments.

Keep it up~~!

[[DN] I Got Da POWA!!!]

great melody

I see potential for this song but just don't jump into the melody right away and add another layering instrument with the same melody in the 2nd part of the chorus. Save the melody for the 2nd part of the first chorus and then add the extra instrument in the 2nd chorus. Same thing you told me in your review :)

DanceNation responds:

ahh well... see, i dont really make dance anymore, as far as full tracks go, so i make short quickie tracks.
