DrRalf's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[HrrHd - Trance for you!]

Well

The tunes didn't really fit together! Watch this, they really didn't sound cool. The kickdrum-fill killed my boxes lool. Though the synth itself is nice!

horrorhead responds:

Hehe well yer i know, it sucks how i can't mod these songs at a later time..i have to make an entire song in one session and that my friend can be hard! =P
Yer...synths are kool =P lol
Well thanks for reviewing ! =D

[[E-10}=: PrOdUcT :=]

lol

lmfao @ previous review
I agree though :S

1EtHeR0 responds:

why do you all hate me...

[[E-10} -=Caffeine!!!!=-]

lol

Ugh! Is this that same song but then faster xD

1EtHeR0 responds:

Yeah...

[[E-10} -=Caffeine!!!=-]

lol

Hmm, Drum N Bass ha?
This piece of stuff is some kind of wrong techno :P
I didn't really like it. Already knew all the sounds . As do many, lol.
It has nothing too new really, but then again it isnt too bad.

1EtHeR0 responds:

um... okay...

[Evilcookies - Chemical Reactor]

Nice

Awesome groove! Melody : 9+
Drums were okay too, not too impressive, though they fitted in good (and not cuz ur song was bad or summit cuz it wasnt).
There seem to be two songs in this, cuz the melody changes a lót! Good job on all the effects and FX sounds mate you don't hear that a lot.
Try to make the third lead less repetitive ;)
Overall: 8+

[Destroyed Bits of Perception]

heh

Sounded like this track only required 6 bars, sorry man :S

kevs91 responds:

OK, fair enough.
I guess the changes I wrote into this (so that the song changed alot, at least by my standards) were very subtle. Maybe too subtle, and I might only notice them because I know they're there before-hand. I'll work on making prominent changes as the track goes along.

I appreciate the 10 for originality, 'cos I was really trying to do something different with this track.
Hopefully I'm on the right path, so I can keep getting better.

As a little side note--in your response you called me "a respected guy". Not sure who you think you're talking to, but I'm as anonymous as the next kid. Thanks anyways ;).

Thanks alot for the review.

I'll try

The synth is nice, and so is its tune!! But maybe: try to vary with its cutoff, panning, etc.. Just select a new channel, get to the start of ur song, press record and play while you turn the soft-synth or mixerFX buttons (you dó use Fruity Loops don't ya?) Build up that tension rather then just volume-gaininglike adding the basedrum. I can imagine with a better tension build-up, variety you could make some hard shiit.
I can imagine percs and a highpitched synth or something coming in after the end of this snippet. And maaaybe again, try adding a very subtile sub in the kick ;), edit it with ur volume wide open and it'll be okay.

Good luck building it out!

DJ-DaVinster responds:

Thanks for the review!

I'll probably be adding a longer version of this, using your tips.

And yes, I do use FL Studio.

[~Never Forget~ [D2]]

Niice

Nice tunes there!
Disto in the intro, watch that FL volume meter ;)
Lol what the hell is this now? Another intro suddenly, with percs, a little weird .. though the synths involved are very nice especially the sawbass one. Rest of the track is okay but not tóo special.
Nice job though, 4/5 8+/10 keep this up!

DJ-DaVinster responds:

I've edited it a little & will be posting it soon.
Thanks for the review!

[}{Deep}{In}{The}{Shadows}{]

Hehe

Drumkick is a little over-distorted and the other sounds and tunes were a little random and suddenly from dark to happy, which I always hate :P
The snare, maybe try out some effects on it and make it louder?
The organ in the beginning didn't really fit in too lol.

-- Ralf

ps: but I liked the main dark synth! It made me wanna move man.

DJ-DaVinster responds:

Thanks for the review!

[InVeRtEd dEsTiNy [D]]

Okay

I've been listening to this genre several years ;)
Nothing too new or special, I'd say. The kick sounds oldskool-like with more base frequences to it, kinda nice actually. Just try to get a kick ass break after this part, with lots of shapsynths, eventually pads and an MC (you? lol).
Oh yeah one advice, I know it's not belong to the genre, but still try to add more dynamics to the song. And maybe try to use SLIIIGHTY more bass into your kick - I turned the volume way up and it doesnt really sub nicely (though that might have been ur intention). And ehh, oh yeah, more variety in the hats and clap arrangements. I hear you already played something with those, but I'd advice you to differ a bit more. Last remark is about the clap too. It doesnt really sound good, try making it louder! Maybe reeverbing etc.
Good luck, and keep it up ;)
