DaveGuy's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[_/NightSky\_ (remix)]

thx!

thank you for remixing my song! this is the first time that anyone has remixed anything of mine! Oh and btw. Ever since I resubmitted the original awhile ago, the audio listen number is different lol. It is:

http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/liste n/287848

I like how you messed with the melodies and did those filtering effects. But the high pass cutoff can be abit too much sometimes though. Other than that it sounds like a good remix and I am proud of the reviews it has. Good job!

ShootingStar responds:

Haha yeah thanks for letting me remix!

okay

It was kinda repetitive and there was really no melody or bass throughout the song. I like what you did to the kick drum though. great! So yeah this song needs alotta improvement.
3/5
7/10. srry bro... -_-

Mans0n responds:

you didint listen to the whole song obviously

[_/Break Down\_]

interesting.

Very unique too. I don't understand what's up with the kick though. But I really love that piano and that partially gated pad. It could also fit in miscellaneous genre. Very relaxing too. Good job!

ShootingStar responds:

Haha.. well, the kick is actually a part of the bass, i thought it sounded cool so i left it..
But thanks for the review!

[Bass Crusher]

pretty good

the song was wayyy too quiet. and It felt like it was missing alot. Or that could be because it was quiet. oh well. both methods are fine =). But did you like have like 5 sound limiters going or something?

It was a unique song indeed. unusual to what I would usually hear. pretty good =)

lidlurch responds:

Well, the thing was that the sound would crunch (go into the red zone) if i kept the volume up high. if i changed the general volume setting on the song, would it make it sound less limited?

[SF - The Sound */Trance Mix\*]

this is cool

but I have to agree with hikaryuu. I like the original mix the best. It's a good job to remix it to trance though. and I like that choppiness that comes with it too but it can get abit annoying too because of that pad that can obviously be heard being choppified. Just lower it by maybe 25-30%. And the song has an overall feel to it as well. The loud pad just sorta gives you an uplifting feeling that makes you feel up there and that swoosh effect....ooohhhhh that swoosh effect....! good job. It's a good try at trance. Keep improving your skills and you will be better at it I can tell you.
5/5
9.6/10

SubtleForces responds:

Thanks for the advice from the master of trance =D

[[DN] Splash!]

good job

I just felt like it was missing something in the drums section. Like maybe a hat and that clap you were using. Something was missing in the melody part too? I dunno. Maybe it's just me. Anyway this is a great song. I have seen alot of your work and I am quite impressed actually. Have you ever been on top weekly 5?

DanceNation responds:

Twice

[VerGe-]

interesting

That annoying gated bassline or the bassline that sounds choppy throughout the first half of the song, That needs to be fixed up. But I do like that airy effect in the later part. Now I know I am wearing headphones, but can you please boost the kick abit? Right now it sounds like a tap. Correct me if I'm wrong about the kick. And I dunno, just try to give it some variety in the melody and the song's atmosphere. Because it kinda sounds like the same thing almost all the way through.

Anyway. It was a unique song to what I usually hear, very original i say =). 5.00 - 3.55 score. No I didn't give it a 2/5. I gave it a 3/5 3.55( -1.45). ,Man, the person who gave it a 5/5 must have had a voting power as low as hell haha!.

~XD~

Mans0n responds:

lmao yeah and thanks for your review man! the bass speed is controlled by 4 automation clips which was a bitch to do throughout the song, butyeah i guess it does sound a little choppy but i like it :)

also the kick my sound like a tap because your probly not using the old school fat headphones. which are the ones i used to make the song. if there like im guessing ( ipod headphones) then yeah it might just sound like a tap.
i suggest if possible just listening to everything through a stereo with a sub.
then you will hear everything, and it will sound alot better

[SubtleForces - Go West]

you got zerobombed

I saw the score. 1 vote 5.00, 2 vote 2.06, my vote = 3.04 (+0.99). Yes I know NG got their math wrong -_-. Anyway, is this a remix or an original. I can never tell with your songs. I doubt that this is your voice... unless you edited it and high pitched? I like the happy melody in this song. I realize that you use the exact same instruments in all of your new songs. Now your songs are really amazing actually. I think you should sell, but try to use different instruments, just so that you have some difference in your music. I struggle with that in all of my songs. Anyway, I gave it a 5/5. It's actually a really good song. Sounds raveworthy, EVEN ddr worthy! Keep it up bra!

SubtleForces responds:

Thanks mate ;)

Ye, instuments is kinda where I suffer, I'm try to be more different next time ;)

Fkn hell zero bombers are annoying tho ha ha.

Vocals are by Kate Lesing btw lol.

[ArcH - Cockjoke!]

basshunter

making fun of basshunter I see here! HAHA. I know, he uses the same melody in like almost all his songs. I hope he sees this and learns his lesson.
But yeah, I like your idea of showing everyone that top weekly 5 on newgrounds means completely nothing, because it does. I saw this one song that had # 1 score for 3 DAYS STRAIGHT WITHOUT BEING ZEROBOMBED. It is not on top 5 which means NG chooses from random. I tell you, the audio portal needs a better system. It is SOOO biased.

But yeah, nice way to show basshunter!

1 point for the singing
7 points for the music beat.
1 point for the making fun of basshunter using one melody all the time.

Archealor responds:

Haha, You don't get a lenghty reply.

THANKS FOR REVIEWING

[Legend Of Oboe]

amazing

I think of someone serving a chinese emperor his tea and noodles in a garden filled with trees with pink flowerings on them. It kinda reminds me of the tvshow Avatar as well. Very calming indeed. I enjoyed it. Good job!

DjRocALot responds:

This is the perfect scenario! Damn dude, you read my music like a phsycic! :D
