DJDela's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Uncertain]

Not exactly the kind of style I enjoy, but it's still a decent track considering it's your first submission.

First, I noticed some clipping, at 1:30 and 2:55 to be precise, so you might want to check volume levels.
I must say that the track is repetitive, so you should try adding more synths and make better transitions. But since you made this in a short time, and there's more work to be done, I think you can improve it a lot.
What I would suggest is to add a "real" beat (4x4 kick would be nice, or whatever you feel would go well), because it would sound much better that way. The structure of this track in not that great, because through the whole song I had a feeling I'm listening to some kind of build up.
But it would have been a good build up, if there was an actual drop for example at 1:30 or 2:15 . :D

You're not bad at all, just work a bit on the structure, introduce new synths, and make the track less repetitive.

XSpiritSlayerX responds:

Roger that, point taken.
Thanks DJ!

[Pat!M // Moscow Lights (F]

Amazing melody, this is great piece of music.
I liked the buildup and drop @3:40.
I would only like if the bass was a bit more prominent, and less repetitive melody, but it's nothing serious.
Nice work.

dj-patm responds:

Thank you very much.

I did try extending the melody to add more variation but I think it took away from the song

[SJ - Saturn Reactor]

You really need to add some deep bass so I can tear down the house when listening to it :P
The bassline is so SICK, and the drums are great as usual. :)

[SJ - Intercept (FL CORE)]

I can't believe this didn't win

Amazing work man, sick as usual, but you should have made it longer :)

SteakJohnson responds:

indeed, surprising. but whatevs it was fun to make

[[dB] iCandy]

This is great

Just the way I like a song, great job on this one.
It has a few drawbacks however.
For example, you overused the wobble, so it sounds repetetive in some parts.
Maybe you should have used more variations in bass, and add some extra elements.
The bass kick is just slightly too "strong", if you know what I'm saying.
I'd love to hear more of this stuff, amazing work you have here.

Decibel responds:

Hah, thanks for the tips, I'll try to work on that when I have the time :)

[Ludicrous Speed - F-777]

Nothing interesting

I mean WTF?
Really have to agree with some, people should have stopped making this style long time ago, because 8-bit shit like this is NOT interesting.
Maybe it was 20 years ago...
I just don't understand how did this get on weekly tops, and so many great songs never get exposure, 'cause the artist isn't famous.
But if I leave that aside, it's still nothing special, just a fu*king annoying too high pitched 8 bit melody that rapes my ears, but not in a good way.
There was a moment at like 00:35 where I thought it's gonna get better, but you just played that same melody again.
I love most of your other songs, and I'm sorry to say it, but this really sounds like crap, I think if you posted actual crap people would still love it because you posted it. I mean, people love your music, I love it too, but not this kind...
And who is gonna like this? Zelda fans, of course. -.-'
Don't get offended, someone had to say it.
Just continue making REAL music, and don't waste your time on this crap.

[Thor [Dubstep] wip]

FU*K YEA

I didn't know you were doing dubstep.
Well, who knows what will I find once I listen to all of your songs.
I want an achievement for that btw.
That snare is super tasty, and the bass is fuckin' dirty, you surpassed Noisia with it I swear.
I really prefer this than xKore's music. :)
Please vote 5 on your music every day, one person is not enough :P
You'll be doing yourself a favor.

[xKore - Showdown]

WOOT

Now this is the shit I want to hear from you.
The only thing that's missing is a melodic break, to add the depth.
That's only personal, however.
This song is sick!

[SJ - Crossfire]

I hate you man

Why don't you finish your songs already?
You can sell you songs, get famous, I could guarantee you that.
I'd always prefer your music over any other commercial shit out there.

SteakJohnson responds:

ah id love to reap the benefits lol but im not satisfied w my stuff yet. glad ya like it though, drums are way too splashy and the bassline is muddy as heck

[Marcie - Never Enough (xK]

Not that interesting...

I love your songs, you have some mad skills, but this one is not on your level.
The intro is, let's say, good, but the main part @1:06 is really boring.
It is sick, but if I didn't listen to your other songs, I would say that you don't have the feel for harmony at all, and the vocals don't fit in there.

And what about the vocals, I thought they were forbidden here?

This is still better than most of the songs on newgrounds though, but I'm giving it 8 because you can do it million times better.
