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 - 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 :)

[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

[SJ - Fury]

Finally, a full song...

:P just joking of course.
This is some sick shit as usual.
I love the drums, the melody is perfect and everything just works out fine.
Well, it is different than some of your previously posted works, but it doesn't mean it is bad. Just a nice change.
10 for you

SteakJohnson responds:

thanks! its a full song cuz i made the thing like 2 years ago, lost the fl file found the mp3 then remastered it and stuff, wish i still had inspiration for this style lol...

[WO HE NI]

Oh yeaaaah...

Kill the chinese shit and make it longer.
I know you said you get lazy and don't finish the song, but you gotta finish everything you created.
I just hate how unpopular your songs are... :/
I'm your fan of yours for life.

And of course I listened the whole thing, because I knew you woudn't fail. xD

Hmm, one more thing, I think this should go under dubstep. :/

10 and 5 of course

SteakJohnson responds:

chinese shit must be euthanized, and i hate how unpopular they are too lol. will change genre to the dubstep. tHAnKs for the support btw!

[Contusion (Sonik Original]

Nice

Yeah, I like it.
It's got chill vibes, and dirty tunes at the same time.
The drop @2:30 was so unexpected, and it's fine :)

9/10
5/5

Don't get mad for review this short, I'm not a good reviewer. :P

DreamEater responds:

Thanks for the review Dela!
I'm really glad you enjoyed this one bro, and I'm really glad we could squash shit dude.The "unexpected part" was completely different a couple days ago, but I ended up ripping the song in half and starting over (I really wanted a nice Dirty sound for the break, almost Feed Me sounding even)

A review is a review, and I really appreciate this one a lot. (regardless of length) :P

Thanks again for the review dude, and I hope to see ya around the portal!

[SJ - Hydra [wip2]]

Pure awesomeness

I like the really heavy and dark feeling throughout the song.
Saw some people suggesting your songs need orchestral sounds, but that is wack, the only thing this song needs is to be finished.
Well, maybe some synth oneshots would go well at some parts, but that's fine, don't ruin the amazing bass.

Only one thing to suggest, don't bring up all that bass so early at 0:33, play only some sliced parts, so that it leaves people begging for more. xD

Overall, amazing piece
10/10, fav, and a regular daily 5/5

Would really appreciate if you checked some of my songs.

SteakJohnson responds:

this is really kickass advice, and I swear I responded to this review but I forgot to press the respond button. Will check out ur tracks for sure dude
