Dj-Chezt's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[M-Shroom - Piku (Newgrounds Only)]

I really like the MIXING here. It's so crisp and clean sounding. The song is good, but I've personally never been a fan of FB. I think the end piano could've use some more reverb or something, ecause that sounds too flat.

M-Shroom responds:

Yeah this was an old track i found XD back then i wasn't to good at mixing but i really know what u mean on the piano :) Thanks!

[∀malgamation - Spacial]

in the background of an RPG, where you're in an abandoned alien ship. Is it truly Abandoned?

no.

i really like this!

Skiddle responds:

:O Thanks! Also, now I can imagine that :3

[DirtyPaws - Cat Eyes (Original Mix)]

I really like this song in its whole package, its mixing s well done, and its melody and tone really mix well together. The only thing I will say against the track is the yack-yack bass at 1:11 and other places, which is a popular preset that got overused to death. It's not used too much here, but you should always try to avoid using popular pre-made presets. With that said, the second drops changes are really good. The different rhythm in the first part is well structured, and the subtle growl re-arrangements fit well. The main pluck synth in the verse parts are also really well mixed. Overall, its a strong 4.5/5!

DirtyPawsOfficial responds:

You are right, unfortunately I still do not handle SoundDesing very well, that's why I use some presets, Thanks for the review, I'm sorry if I do not explain myself very well, but I do not speak English :p

[Geoplex - Zenith]

I really like the beginning with electronic percussion AND classical strings! Sounds really well blended, with amazing mixing all through! I like how you mix the two genres!

(Psst. What do you use for strings?)

Geoplex responds:

Thanks! For my strings I'm using East-West Quantum Leap Gold Symphonic Orchestra (composer cloud). It's basically an entire orchestra, and it's amazing haha

[Refraction]

The synths here are used very well. And for this early in your music creating career, this is stellar. Some tips though:
- I enjoy the snare pause (1:07) during the drop, but add a little reverse cymbal before it kicks back in.
- Vary the pattern of your growls some in the second drop, its a small change, but it makes a big effect.
- Overall, this is great. Youve really started your real dubstep baby steps!

Lemons responds:

Thanks for the feedback :)

[High Score [ Future Bass ]]

where did you find that drop sound at the very beginning of the song?Its quite interesting :)

AikaMusic responds:

Bought it from a sample pack, I can't recall which one since I have my stuff all organized. When I find exactly which one I'll update this. :P

[∀malgamation - Loss]

Whats the bpm? i wanna remix this song. It has a great-high feel to it. the subbass could be turned down a bit.

Skiddle responds:

I actually didn't check the bpm, and I accidentally deleted the file for this track :v I'm guessing its around 100-115 though :p

[Nerf This!]

You are officially scouted! Amazing work! That synth in the drop is A!! (i must ask how you got that? i would love to acquire it 8) )

DestroyerGD responds:

Thank you :-)

[Zyzyx - Evolve]

Hey Zyzyx, where can i get that huge synth you used at 0:45? Its so good! I NEED IT (maymay)

Also, really great song! Its really feels speedy! like were traveling through stars at warp speed.! it all flows really well! I think the synth at 1:52 could've done without the (i think its either a flanger or a) phaser. It fells a little odd, and somewhat out of place.
Overall though, really good!

DJ-Zyzyx responds:

It's actually a formant filter on serum, and the "HUGE SYNTH!!" is a superset with a bunch of layers that I also made in serum xD thanks for the review dude!!

[Lithium]

chill little guitar tune. pretty good. I would recommend maybe switching up the drum pattern every 4 or 8. it really makes an impact in the final product.

SirHadoken responds:

I agree; thanks for pointing that out, I was mainly focusing on chords this time around, and slacked off a bit on the rest, but I'm hoping to have a solidified, unified, well-rounded song by Carbon. ;)
