DaveGuy's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[_/Shift\_ [demo]]

pretty good

just afew things, that background pad cqn sound offtone at times & has to go and be replaced by something else. Or you could just have nothing there at all, i dunno what floats your boat.
That high pass filtering at 0:28 is just abit too much. maybe don't have it filter out so high. I find it abit hard to hear the bass too.
Other than that, I liked how the main melody shif4s from instrument to instrume... there SEE! Now I understand the title!

ShootingStar responds:

Alrighty :) Thanks for the review Dave! I'll go change some things up now :)

[A Piano's Testimony]

best gravey song

The piano melody just caught me right away. I feel that it is lacking a low band pass instrument though (low pitch). But it is still worth a 10/10 even without the constructive criticism!

Gravey responds:

Thank you very much. :-)

As for the low end you think is lacking, that was a bit intentional. This song is supposed to be light and airy with no real heavy low end present. So you are right, there isn't much in terms of low frequency instruments. But that was intentional in order to keep the light and airy atmosphere.

[~EnV~Bestämmelse (EP demo)]

you never let me down

Keep it up. I just love the powerful kick.

[xKore + Nechura - Alien]

one the best

This is top weekly 5 material. One of the best house songs I've heard in awhile.
You deserve 10/10!

Good job and gl in the future...

[FormingAnesthetic-lidlurch-]

wow

this is a great version! I think you've finally perfected this song. I can definitely see someone using this in a videogame or something. I know I would!

lidlurch responds:

thanks dave! glad you like it!

[Serenity 1]

serenity 1

Seeing though as alt 1 is a WIP, I guess I'll just review this one.

I can definitely see someone on NG using this as the start menu for ching chong beautiful or as a graveyard level or a final boss or anything dramatic! This is one of the best video game songs I have heard in soooo long which is the same time period between listening to one. If I knew how to use macromedia flash MX, I would use this in my video game no doubt.

Keep it up!

[Kinshuk Sunil - Into The Night]

1 hint

seeing though as fl studio has crappy sounding instruments, get vst's:
reFX Nexus, reFX vanguard, Z3ta+. Those really transformed my music making soo much that it is soo obvious to tell. Just go to youtube on how to install it and they will have download links in the sidebars and everything!

But for now, this is a really good song for fl studio presets, so I am going to give you a good rating.

gl in the future!

[SF - Angel In The Night]

good remix!

The drums are sort of hidden behind the music at 1:21 - 1:46 because it needs abit more mastering & equalization. Good song though , yno why? Because it's my only criticism

SubtleForces responds:

Yeah i see what you mean "/

Will see what I can do bout that

[_/Feel the Beat\_]

definitely better

The intro gets me excited for what is going to happen next.

Style 10/10
Variety 9/10
Originality 10/10
Other stuff that would take too long to think up and type 10/10
-------------------------------------

overall score 5/5, 10/10

Thanks for the review Dave!!

DJeverlast responds:

well as usual i use drums (very hard drums actually) but i decided to be softer in this one and go for a melodic track, so guess u could call this hard trance then or happy trance :)if you want ill do a revised version with a druma and email it too u :D also in caramelldansen its very hard too pick out the drum and i thought why use a weak drum and make it stupid when u can just take it out and make it soft and sweet
