Decibel's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-ganon95- Forever]

Hectic and Insane.......

.....I Love it. This is what a techno song should sound like.
8-bit sounding instrument but at the same time very cool. The drums were generic in some points which diminishes the whole creativity of the song.
There were some good parts which I liked such as the intro and there were some bad parts like the low piano playing. You should have made it with a higher octave cuz it really doesnt fit in with that pitch.
Then the saw comes in, wonderful! There;s nothing better than a good saw in a techno song.
And now comeeessss theeeee piaaannooooo solloooooooo.
That's a better pitch in my opinion cuz it's high enough and not, ends of the earth low :P
The effects that were added were beautiful, very technologic and futuristic which fits in with the rest of the song.
The transitions weren't bad, in fact they were great.Everything complimented eachother, making the song even better.
What's up with that effect in 4:53? It's painful to hear, and very annoying. Sorry :(
Intro was pretty good, as I mentioned before, I loved the drums, very cool.
The outtro on the other hand, shouldn't even be called an outtro, it's like it stopped during the actual song. Too Bad/

*Overall*
Work on it, Has too much potential to have those tiny faults in bit n'pieces of the song.

ganon95 responds:

thanks for the awesome review!

if i could work on it more i would, but its a long story why i can't. yea i know the drums are a little generic but thats techno for ya. honestly the low piano part could have been better but like i said can't do anything now.

my fav part is the high pitched lead at 2:08.

glad u liked the other piano part tho =]

the ending....really...i had no freaking clue how to end this thing so i just kinda did, as you prob read in the description i think its a wierd ending too

[Outset Island Orchestrated]

Cool

Sounds very video gamey which I love to the fullest. The strings and the flute were very good. The tambourine although gets very annoying in some parts.
The idea of making an orchestral song requires determination and i admire that.
Great Job

[lalor dance loop]

Amazing!!!!!!!!

I enjoyed this loop from beginning to end, It's wonderful!
Despite the Uno, Due, Tre, Quattro voice at the beginning, it reminded me of Italy for some reason.
The drums were very good, I loved the way that the distortion complimented the awesomeness of the entire song. The main melody was generic, I think, but I still l<3ved it to the very end.
The only thing that bothered me was the playback, it wasn't in time with the whole song.

PLZ MAKE THIS INTO A SONG!!! ISpeak for the entire population of NG!

*Overall*
Amazing, The best loop I've heard in ages, the playback's a little off though, Soz........

[The Crazy Zap]

Oh No..........

I'm sorry but this is horrible, It's just the smae pattern with samples played over it.
It's So repetetive that I thought it was the same loop over and over again.
The intro was, was, Wait.....There was no intro, it got str8 to the point, it could have used an intro to make it better.
The outtro, was better but still bad.

*Overall*
Needs a lot of work, A LOT!!!!!!

[[TMM43]Sexy Bitch (DJ-P Remix)]

Hehe

You Turned one of last year's best hits into an amazing, very-danceable song. Congrats.
You kept the same melody but with the saw instrument, made much better than the discordant, bubbly instrument in the main song. The vocals were awesome, the effects you added to it were amazing, The reverb made sound trance-like but at the same time it was very upbeat. The only thing I didn't like was that the vocals start loud, then all of a sudden the become lower, and than back to loud after a bit.
Loved it though, Instruments were good, non-repetetive and interesting.
Drums rocked, they were generic but it's hard to make a unique drum beat on a remix.
*Overall*
Good, interesting, work on that vocal problem cuz it became annoying.

[krachmaninoff-hopeless drunk]

You Sir......

Were born for classical rock-making, Very interesting to the last minute. The guitar was awesome, the riffs were very cool and complimented your voice, which unfortunately, I can't compliment, You don't sing very well, work on that, do some vocal excercises and such.

*Overall*
Pretty good, but vocals suck, Sorry :(

[Garden Party]

Woah!

Very good, inspiring and simply amazing.
The tango to it is amazing, the genre is great and the ending is fine, the intro though, topped it all.
This kind of reminds me of the Toy Story PS1 Game which, I LOVED!!!!!!!!

NG Does need more genres because this doesn't deserve to be miscellaneous, because that genre means, 'everything else' -_-*

*Overall*
Very interesting and makes me all nostalgic and junk but it's too short to be a song, Work on tat make it longer.......

[Running Through Me]

Wonderful! Simply Wonderful

Calming and Interesting and yet, still very Trance-y, The glitchy drums had their own special touch which I loved. The melody and the strings in the background were fantastic and The Pad which supported everything was good. The drums, I have a little problem with......They're good drum beats but they don't seem trance-ish enough, more drum n'bass or something. I don't know, They were unique but strange at the same time.
The transitions are fine, the song itself isn't short so I understand that you made it a teenzy weenzy bit repetetive. LOL xD
Yes, I enjoyed listening to it and I'm glad that this is one of your first trance songs because it means there is much more to come.
I'd be happy to collab with you, just PM me and We'll figure out something!
Back to the song, The intro and outtro were good and the effects were fascinating, the phased effect is very good and sounds awesome.
*Overall*
Intriguing song, Drums not so much, but still very good*

Being-Glass responds:

Hey thank you for your timely review Borntodj167!

well I have been working on this track for about 5 months now. this version is the more ambient elaborate version. The other versions of this track which is like 6 now are more drum qued and trance like.

But also I am more into technical based songs as opposed to dance based tracks. I dont like throwing four on the floor and just playing with synths.

I also tend to fall more into big beat or dnb naturally when i write music that is closer to mainstream dance music.

And yes ill be happy to work with you on a collab It will be exciting to see what we can produce.

[A Piano's Testimony]

:')

Very Touching, It's extremely well-made and sounds like it could be a soundtrack to a movie.
The intro was beautiful, it was heart-warming and very unique.
The strings after the intro truly harmonized with everything, bothe the pizzicato and the ensemble. The drumming was fantastic, In my opinion I find it quite hard to make drum beats with bongoes but you've proved me wrong.
The piano itself is a beautiful sound in this song and makes you feel happy.
What I'm not so keen about is the transitions, they just go from one instrument to another and they instantly stop which makes it sound a bit bad.
The solo in 1 :28 was amazing, it was well-made and the way you incorporated it with the strings was awesome!
The outtro, was truly, one of a kind, I haven't heard an ending like that in one hell of a long-time.

*Overall*
Beautiful and Heart-Warmin, Good instruments and great drums and drum beats, Transitions are a bit off but still good.

[Elysium WIP]

Needs a little bit of work...

Good, Very interesting.
The Bassline at the beginning was very cool but it overpowered the melody 'till about 0:38.
The buildup to the main melody was amazing, and the glitchy/electronic sound at 1:20 was very good, but again, too loud.
The Main melody was unique and I liked hearing, it complimented the bass throughout the whole song.
The drums, Oh the drums,
They were pretty good samples but the beats were generic...........
Try adding some more drums and add your own touch, not just every four steps.
