Kr1z's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[:=>Donkey Kong 9-8 Remix<=:]

summary.

Dude?
This clips like hell, cracks all the way...
Some proper mixing would definitely improve the track

3 Tips:

-Make sure all ur instruments stay below 0db, a good range for a lead is -6 to 0 db.
-Make sure ur frequency balance is mixed properly, dont put in too much low/ mid / high freq., EQ ur instruments properly so u have a cleaner mix.
-Structure and variation? It's kinda the same tune over and over again.. some build ups and dynamics would be cool.

Anyway, loving the drums :)

4/5

Moltov responds:

Maybe your speakers stink? Sounds good to me, just a little loud.. yeah Ill try to add more variation next time.

[We Believe Ep.5 - F-777]

This'd be the summary.

1:19 made me review this, 10/10

Pretty nice chordprog, and AWSUM lead :D welldone!
I'm wondering what's point of the reverblike/gated part on the kick?
Pretty cool arp u made btw =P
Overall, perhaps shorten the in/outro a lil so u have more of the upbeat main tune :)

Anyway nice worx, keep it up!!

5/5

4.15 / 5.00 (+ 0.14)

[Sp1r1T - Pulse]

oorah!

I like the drumloop u made/used in the intro, nice drummyzors!
Also, the lead is default house'ish, pretty cool :)
Addicting beat & bass too, so keep it up :O

5/5`

Sp1r1T responds:

Thanks Kr1z ^^

[.HLS. Melo 31 (WiP)]

nice!

I like the bass pattern, and i'm glad to hear a more original bass pattern than just offbeat. Nice tune & nice drums!!

Well mixed imo

One tip perhaps, don't use that crash sample so often! its repeating too much
Other than that, lovely track already, keep it up!

5/5
2.05 / 5.00 (+ 0.38) .. err? =P

heartless1298 responds:

Thanks! I'll be sure to switch up those crashes. Thanks for the review!

Some tips

pretty nice & clean track u have already, but here are some tips to improve it:

1. The clap: not sure, but i think you used just 1 (VEC?) sample.
Here's a common method: Layer 2 or 3 clap samples, and give them their own volume. Add EQ & reverb on the result to get better & more unique claps.

2. The kick: it's good, i dunno if u did so but with kicks, its common to layer some samples, again, to get a better, a less recongnizable and more unique kick.

3. Add some bass, i can't hear any. When you do add an instrument that does the bass notes, try not using only offbeat bassnotes, thats very common and unoriginal for a trance track

4. Presets leads? Not sure if u used much presets, but in case u did, try modding & layering them to make them better. 3xosc also works :)

For a longer explanation, http://karcoreviewalt.newgrounds.com is your guide :)

Hope this was helpful ^-^

[Firebolt - Above(demo)]

Summary.

Intro starts great, i love the hats u used.
Kick is pretty well done.
Also, the bass arp is lovely :)
Imo the sub bass u used should play like an octave lower :/
Pads are quite nice.
The chords u used are awesome, and so is ur melody & lead.
So keep on rocking :)
5/5

FlamingFirebolt responds:

Hey krizzy ;p.
Like most of my songs, this one is made periodecally(?). I started with that intro synthy plucked bell thing. And found that bass seq. And started building a small intro with that. And you inspired me for this melo so thanks ^__^.
I personally dislike the hats, but what the hell:p
If i would lower the bass then it would be too low. Kinda a dilemma at some point. Going for deep bass, or a much cleaner, and better overall feeling. I chose for the latter but i'm not sure if i made the right choice:/. If i get more comments like these i will change it in my final mix.
Pads... Different oppinions about those... Anyone noticed there actually sidechained in the chorus? :O!!
Rocking i wil, trancing i must.
