Dj-UnKnOwN's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[{L.O} Insanity]

Hey bud

Hey man, i can see your relatively new to FL studio as you have many generic things going on in this song. Well first off your claps in the beginning are to basic. Try playing around with the filters and effects by assigning the Claps to a channel in the master mixer.
Another mistake is that there is way to much going on in this song. Just cause you have a lot of notes in your piano roll doesnt mean they are going to sound good. It's all about common sense and organization. If you have a lot of notes and they are everywhere and the piano roll looks like a mess, you can probably assume that the sound produced, wont be a pleasant one.

Overall i can see your new, and i notice effort put into the song so heres a 5/5 and a 9/10
Keep up the good work!

LegendaryOutlaw responds:

Ahh, so you noticed too... LOL well thanks for the tip and the review! I'll be sure to check the song out too. :D

[Porch Step]

Wow!!!!

This song is great! I especially love the dirty drums mixxed in with the serene pads. I loved the piano beginning. and you have great transitions, i barley noticed that you changed the beat of the song until the beat dropped.
The long beginning mixxed in with the strong bass and drums produced a great track
5/5 9/10

Cebster responds:

thanks allot yeah i gave this one allot of effort, so im greatful you took the time to reply. thanks allot ! :}

[Forbidden]

hmmm... forbidden..

haha i suppose your a fast worker? Submit 2 songs in one day! haha

Well, this does create the feeling of being isolated, i'm sorry to say but this had little to no diversity. I was just a sine in the backround, I suppose you were right when you said most of your songs turn into loops. =P. Dont submit a song when you dont feel it's finished, the most i've spent on a song was probably 2 months! But that's of course little other projects in between. Take right now for example, I have 6 different songs going on at the same time, but i'm submitting another song called radical thought very soon!

Keep up the awesome work man, and dont be hesitant to keep a song if you feel that song isnt ready.
4/5

vman456 responds:

Haha, yeah man. I never meant for this to be anything great.

Sometimes I just get high and make some crazy sounding tracks, haha. Which is exactly what I've done with this.

But fear not, I'm actually working a an ACTUAL song with a friend. It's turning out great so far. Lots of groovin' melodies and such.

Goodluck with your songs, can't wait to hear 'em!

[Buoyancy]

Holy crap...

Wow... just wow... i can totally imagine a leaf just sitting on top of the water... just floating by... What would have really blown me away, is if you added like, water sounds in the backround, like a waterfall or something... Great use of pads, could have been a tad bit more diverse tho.
Keep up the good song

vman456 responds:

Yes, sir. Unfortunately for me, I have a terrible attention span. I have about a billion little snippets of music (I constantly start new projects that I never finish) so I miss out on a lot of potential in my songs and turn most of them into loops. I submit my songs much too early.

I actually had the idea about the waterfall, was also thinking of birds singing.

Maybe I'll rework this one and add more to it.

Thank you very much for your comment.
edit:
And I'd be glad to check out your song.

[Dimension Hell]

CONSTRUCTIVE CRISISM TIME!!

Okay first thing. The beginning. The kick was too basic, assign the kick to a mixer channel. Then go to mixer presets in the Fl browser, and drag the techno pounder preset into the kick channel and play around with all those settings.
Umm the transitions were ok, with the FX, just work on that. :57 was funny, kind of mad me want to shoot myself in the face, very psychedelic.
Overall the song was creative but was a little basic and not very well organized.

Nice try, 3/5 6/10
Dj-Unknown

SonicJ responds:

Meh, when your done spinning around in a chair, anything makes scence.
:57 made you want to shoot yourself in the face O_O? Wowie, didn't see that coming.
I'll try what you mentioned with the mixer, in my next submit
ion. Thanks for the review Dj-unknown!

[Holy arms race-Prelude]

Okay.....

But could've been better, add a main melody, every song needs a main melody, you just had the one guitar note in there. Oh and chill out on the choirs, you use them in almost song. =P Stay away from Slayer, it's notorious for distorting sounds although not so much in this song since there was only one note, use Sytrus Inferno if you want a hardcore guitar lead. Some notes of your bass were off-key.

Other then that, i see improvement with each song you create.
Good job 4/5 7/10
Dj-Unknown (check out my new song [Dj-U] Fly high)

SonicJ responds:

Thanks for the review! You noticed my use of the choirs. I just love them. A sorta melodramatic feel.
Well, my next song didn't use any, so be happy :D Slaysers bad? I tihnk I used the systrus inferno in one song, I can't recall/ Thanks for the review, I'll check out your song :D

[The Waves]

run out of inspirtion eh?

haha you must depleted of your inspiration skillz to use the atez present. hahaha i'm just kidding. Although you did use it, the rest was expertly organized. The kick could of been a tad louder or infact layered with another kick to give it that BOOM feeling. The clap was good, i love the bass, what is it called? I WANT IT! i'm at 1:40 now, i love how you added that little melody in there that overlaps the whole song... gave it that epic feel. did it again at 3:00 but this time you varied it by adding more notes that climb to the top!! aww that's amazing.. Overall this is a great song. hope this reaches top of the week!
Only thing bad about this song really is some distortion around the transitions, the FX overlaps the other beats sometimes cause distortion.

Overall nearly perfect! Awesome job
9/10
5/5!

Anima-Theory responds:

Thanks :D

The bass is vanguard, a 303 teebee I think. I did mod it a bit though.

Kickin song

FINALLY! You released this song but didnt tell me! Badd boney-man! haha anyways, yeah the bass line is kicking, the drums are rocking and the strings (which you never use) sound fine IMO. And i know you love making your songs long, but that is sometimes the downfall of any great song. But this song keeps you constantly listening for new things. The vocals, the raindrop lets were all great samples.
Keep it up man

Dj-Unknown

boney-man responds:

Thank findsounds.com for the rain & thunder samples lol. I like this song quite much. lol.

[[Burst]]

man...

sick song right here man! loved the arp, and even when your brought in the guitar it flowed perfectly. Keep it up, you got madd potential! This one is better than invasion IMO because this one was distorted out blurt out anything, it was all at the right volume.

Awesome job 4/5, 8/10
Dj-Unknown

fosterCHILD16 responds:

hey thanks a lot, it means a lot coming from someone with ur skill
yeah invasion is really rough right now, i just wanted some preliminary feedback, this is the song im most proud of
thanks for the awesome review

[Redemption {HM Original Mix}]

happy song =]

I think this song was a little too happy to be called Redemption lol. This was a really good song except for some presents like the claps i didnt like to much. Change around the filters. I love how at 2:37 where it began to sound as if it was bugging out. Very glitchy, and sounded awesome!

Oveall this was a fun and original song!
9/10
5/5

HouseMasta responds:

thanks for your review, but the claps arent presets. thanks overall for the positive feedback!
