Decibel's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[{Dj-L} Essence of Creativity]

-.-'

This Really Deserves to be in the top 5 of tha week cuz it's very interesting and it's got a melody to dance to, not the mention hard-hitting instruments that can't stop you from jumping up and down! The melody and build-up at 3:08 was fantastic but it gave it an 'it's going to end' vibe which makes you change the song without you helping yourself. The drums I have to say were amazing and they really fit in.
I love the way you kept the intro melody as a bassline. Awesome job

So 9/10
5/5

Meonly70 responds:

Haha, so true about the "its going to end" I just realized it. Well I appreciate the comment. Its gotten top5 before so there is no need for that :P

Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it :D

[xKore + Nechura - Alien]

Very Good

Amazing, this is very good and It is very creative. The melody is very interesting and kept me listening throughout the whole song. The drums are cool and the slow part is lol-ish cuz it was unique. Gr8 job

10/10

5/5

[Silhouette [7000]]

Hmmmm...........

Very interesting, It sounds very realistic and gave and calm smooth, gangster-ish feeling as well. I like the rims and the fact that they weren't they're throughout the whole song although You could have varied a little in drums though cuz it made it boring. Only the piano made it interesting, I could hear a Hi-hat but it was too low and I couldn't enjoy.
well here goes
8/10
4/5

[Tetris Remix [Revamped](F]

You never amazed me......

......more than you have this time!!!! R U Serious, this is ur best work ever, you really deserve to be in newgrounds' best.
The beginning Melody sounds cool and Tetris- and whatnot but I think it sounds a bit like byte size or something in plugin presets>generators>sytrus>synth string...'
Anywayzezz, I like your work with drums and your astonishing, climax building drum beats.
I Love the guitar solo in about 1:18, it was easy-going, but fast-paced and cool at the same time.
I also liked the saw that comes in at about about 1:45

Whenever I hear this song, i think of tetris'd, but particularly tetris'd cuz u really made it fit in with the movie.

so 10/10
5/5

[{sPhly} -Under the Surface 70%]

Epic, Nothing More O_o

This is Amazing, you did post only three songs but this one is your best, (In the Top Three -_-) I Liked the intro because it was calming and mellow and not hard to listen to, The effect you gave the piano was simply amazing.
The drums were awesome, they didnt come in hard and with a BOOM, they started off easy and they were very simple patterns but interesting sounding drums.
The Piano, once Again i found interesting because of the melodies. It was creative and not at all generic which i found amazing cuz nowadayz it is quite hard to make a song melody which isnt generic. The Pad at Parts of the song was very good, it didnt overpower the piano.
I presume u Used Fruity Love Philter as an effect no? I think so anyway.
So, heres the catch, submit another good song, and ill fave artist you and convince a friend of mine, a good reviewer to review yer song
10/10

Shoephly responds:

Wow, I am amazed that someone in newgrounds actually took the time to really take the time and do some throrough commenting. Much appreciated.
To be honest i liked this song the most as well, and I usually don't like my own creation(except for the three songs submitted). I have a bunch of songs I did like a year ago, but these three that I submitted on newgrounds are the ones I am most proud of (to a less extent tribal trance, only submitted it to see if people liked the concept of tribalmusic fused with some sort of subtle trance) but I am definetly continueing with making music and I'll definetly post another song later, right now though i'm pretty stomped over in real life where exams are coming up and I need to buckle down and study.
And to answer whether I used fruity love filter I did not, only used delay and reverb with an EQ and some simple sidechaining. this song was the one song I did purely on feeling the whole time making it, though during the second half I kind of lacked inspiration which coincidenelty was during the time I started revising for my exams.
This is probably the most I've ever written on newgrounds, only because of such and awesome review, a long and thorough response was necessary.

Thanks a LOT for reviewing, you made my day, was starting to think people didn't like this song :( , (had a few zero bombs as far as i'm concerned) but as long as atleast one person liked it I more than content! :D

[Morning Horizon]

Simply Amazing

This song is art, it sounds fantastic. Classical has really become your Thing. The melody was very good, i loved the flute, it was very calming yet climactic, it takes you to a happy place. The Strings were amazing and really fit in with the flute. The thing I didnt like though was the snare roll, it was very repetetive and made it quite boring, although, The instruments gave it the support it needed to not make it THAT repetetive.
9/10
5/5

Step responds:

Thanks, man! Hehe, happy place ftw! xD. Glad you liked the melody, I tried to do a mixture of minor (the melody is in minor) but majestic at the same time, and well, I think I succeeded :P. Hmm... the snare roll shouldn't be repetitive since I did a 4 bar-pattern and used that pattern only 4 times throughout the song, and then I made another 4 bar pattern with a diferent snare roll and used it only 2 times throughout the whole song. Maybe it's because the changes are so subtle that they're hard to notice. Oh well, whatever, thanks for the review!

[~BH~ The Dark Temple]

A Smash!!!

This is vvery creative, no wonder it's your highesst rated song, the synths sound unique and I Presume u Made 'em NO? The drums sound very video-gamey and I can see this in some Ruins or Sonic and the black knight games or stuff like that.
anywayzzz Ill give this a 10 and a 5 and you are now a fav artist XP

ErikMcClure responds:

Made all the synths myself, yes. My highest rated song seems to change around randomly, actually.

[{sPhly} - Tribal Trance (TEST)]

Good but.....

It's a good loop but the melody is going too fast and it makes you think its a preset arp, the tribal part is good but the trance part sounds,.....not that much.............

Shoephly responds:

the trance arp is not preset, though it has the same keys as pad. It obviously sounds fast since it's 150 bpm and every individual sound in the arp is tightly pacted.
The pad on the other hand I used a preset to make it sound "resonating" (not even sure if it's an actual word) but you probably know what i mean. :P

It's the feel I was going for, didn't want the trance part to overpower anything, wanted it to smoothly blend in the background of you know what I mean.

Thank you for the review :)

[Smash Bros Brawl Theme-8bit]

Speechless

The title says it all, actually, it doesnt.
This game is one of my favourite games ever, it really makes me feel like im in the game. :P
The instruments sound 8-bit but also give that Very professional synth. This was very well done and it doesnt give you that MIDI File Feel.
The intro was cool and the drums were gd, the snare roll got a bit repetitive but thats happens in the game too. Yhe OP Hat sounded very 8-bitish and the effects were outstanding!
In all this was a pretty decent remix so ill give u a 10

10/10
5/5

[-Orr- 4 Brave Champions [FULL]]

O_o

Very good, too good for words in fact, actually never mind, here goes :
The instruments varied a lotwhich in my opinion, keeps it interesting and doesnt make it very annoying throughout the whole song. They sound very proffesional, what is it? East/West?
Anyway it got a bit annoying in 2:18 or so but it was good.
The drums were very well made and were not at all repetitive, ive heard a lot of classical songs but this is the one to top them all.

9/10
5/5
<Deejay>

DavidOrr responds:

Hey Deejay! I'm sorry you found 2:18 annoying, that certainly wasn't my intent :P! These sounds are from East West - they're perfectly suited for the genre. Thanks a bunch for the review and your time!
