Squll2's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Crimson Sun (When the sun sets]

Groovy

Again, like your other song, it had awesome aspects, and annoying aspects.

First off the things I didn't like or find annoying.

-I Found the very high synth that drifted in and out in the first minute or so incredibly annoying.

-The synth at like 1:25 needs to be louder, to add more effect.

-The synth that comes in briefly at 1:45 has some weird notes.

-The Weeh synth that comes in at 2:10ish is quite irrating, mabye an octave lower would be better.

Things I liked

-The trance synth in the background was awesome.

-The hihat sounded pretty cool throughout the songs.

-The low frequency synths were really cool.

Things to Work on in the future

I noticed in your other song, you used a snare roll at the intro of your song as well, also try a kick roll sometimes they sound really good (as in like 1 note per bar, then 2 notes, then 4, then 8, then 16) is a really good kick build up sometimes.

~Hope to see some more of your groovy work in the future!

4/5 8/10

PS: What did you use to get that voice?

Dance eJay

Do ypu have msn so i can contant y0u?

[Trancebass_DJW]

Cool

Pretty cool man, my only problem is that it does get a bit repetitive, as most of this music does, but I see that you have tried to lessen the repetiveness.

The intro build-up wasn't really spectaculer so that could be changed to be better.

For something made in 30 minutes, however, this is pretty cool and not bad at all so I hope to see more of your stuff in the future!

4/5 8/10

[DJ Stufo - Drop The Bass]

Cool-ish

Well first off, the synth sounds are pretty mint, and some of the effects uve used are really nice.

The voice that comes in and says stuff is pretty random and kind annoys me a bit.

it does get really repetitive, but its not tooo bad in that category.

Overall it was a pretty decent song but mabye needed more build up or another synth to finish it off.

4/5 8/10 (I accidently voted without logging on, so ill vote tommrow, give you a bit of a boost)

DJStufo responds:

Thank you very much and i will see what i can do about another synth :)

[<DjT> EoY]

Incredible!

The Intro was specticular on Yelltek's part, and the transition to your awesome trance was just amazing! This was a really great song, you have a wonderful note on this one DJT. Hope to see more stuff like this!

10/10 , 5/5 (My second 5/5)

PS: What program did you use to make this music? Just out of curiosity

[Piano 68 - The Realisation]

Totally Right

Yes, it really gave the feeling of realisation as you put it. I don't know how you did that but that was awesome man, really cool, love to hear stuff like this, can never figure out how to do it!

My only problem is when those high treble notes came in, they sounded a bit off to me.

Keep up the good work! This was really cool man, hope to see some more of your stuff!

4/5 9/10

NegativeNine responds:

Hey! Thanks for the review :)

Yeah I really felt the same with the high notes but the alternative was to have a drum beat to spice up the song, I'd done enough of that with my other songs :P (and also it killed the "realisation" mood)

Anyhow, I need to get the full version of some kind of music program because the demo version of Fruity Loops only allows exporting and not saving. In other words this is the final copy of the song because the notes are extremely complex for me and I hardly remember them.

But yeah, thanks again! Really appriciated :)

[Sonar Vibe]

Groovy

Man, that started getting really cool towards the end.

~~~My problems with this piece

-I found the intro too long (where there was only the sonar playing), and when you started slicing up the bass at about 50-55 seconds it didn't sound very good.

-It ended way to suddenly it was like, bang and then its finished, I was just like =O?

-Those Bongo drums got quite annoying too ><

~~~Things I liked

-I loved from about the first minute to the second, the sounds and melodies you had going were really awesome!

-Yea thats pretty much all I liked, but that was a BIG like, I loved it when you started adding all those melodies!

Keep up the good work, hope to see more of your stuff in the future!

4/5, 8/10

levlongman responds:

Thankyou so much for your feedback!

=D

[Falling in Love (Piano)]

Hmm..

It was ok, but really I didn't find it very interesting, it lacked any real X factor to me.

Sorry but I found it pretty bland and repetitive, better luck next time (=

If you have any music program, try adding a really quiet pad to it and it might sound better, or if your just going to keep doing only piano pieces, try to make it have some more variation and don't keep playing the same notes on the treble as that really makes it sound terrible.

3/5 7.6/10 (8/10)

PIED3 responds:

Thanks for reviewing, I see what you mean about repetion but its only the same tune for around 30 secs and its chanking in key etc. Ill take into account what you said though, cheers for the review!

[-::Awaken::-]

Groovy!

This song is awesome man! There are a few flaws, but hey everyone has flaws! (The synth at the start just doesn't seem quite right to me)

This is much better then your other song infinity. You can tell this song has had lots of effort and thought put into it, and it shows! Great work man!

Keep up the good work look foward to seeing some more of your stuff around!

Gravijar responds:

Cheers bro!

[[ f ] The Struggle]

Groovy!

Man at first, I was like.. ohh this is gonna be terrible and then BANG it becomes awesome, really good job there man! Though it did get kinda repetitive I really, really loved that first big splash of music after the small intro!

Good Job! I'm sure you will go to make even bigger and better things in the future which will sound great no matter how much you listen to them!

All you need to do is work on the reptitiveness of your music and mabye mixing those sounds a bit more together, or finding a completly new sound that will fit together better and it would be great!

flashmac responds:

Well, hip hop beats are normally pretty repetetive, most are a lot more than this. But I understand what you mean. I am also looking for a new sound like you said. Im starting to feel like all my beats are sounding too similar. Thanks for the review man!
