Darkfire96's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Feeling The Bass Ramp]

Never fail to get me hooked!
Long time no see, Semore. Hopefully you remember me :)

Anyway, I enjoyed the loop.
The only thing I didn't like was that it was a loop. It needs to be longer!

-Clockwork

Semaphore responds:

Yes I do Darkfire96
For this comment I give you 5/5 Stars ^^

[Opaix - Libra]

I like it. I think the sounds and the mastering is pretty well done. I would've fleshed out the arp a bit more, as that's a main component in this song. The kick could have been heavier, but that's just my opinion. The bass was awesome, but I think the synth behind it could have been lower to complement the bass.All in all, its just the instrument choice that deters me. The rest of the song was amazing.

ElectroLord99 responds:

haha i like your ability to break a song down. that's how i know you will be a great music producer like i will be one day :p
please apply yourself to music, you will be fantastic.

[ParanoiaMusic - Freedom]

This is really relaxing. One thing I loved the most about this song is the combination of vintage sounds and sub bass. It was really settling to hear. Especially at 9:22 at night. My only two qualms about this is that its oh-so regretfully short. The other, is that the same lead melody loops without much variation. Just throwing some more acoustic sounds in there could help, so its nothing major. Sounds awesome!

ParanoiaMusic responds:

Thank you man!

[DAÚ]

Interesting start to a song. I generally dont listen to Industrial, so I wouldn't know how to accurately judge this one, but I chuckled a bit when I heard all those grunts. It gave a pretty laughable feeling to it, so whatever genre this truly belongs to, +8 to it.

PegasuTV responds:

yes this is just us being lazy to actually set up the drums and play like we really play, but if we spend some time on this confusing soundpoopmachine we might aswell come up with something decent.
thnks for ze review

[Rise In Lies (Original)]

Not bad. The only thing I have to say is EQ this a bit better, and add some treble. Also, add some power in that kick you're using. I can definetly see this to be a good track if this was mastered, and all that good stuff.

Kruizy responds:

Thank you! :)

[[J] - Regrets (demo)]

Nice

I love the piano on this. Really could use some mastering.
The pads were pretty epic, and the drumline was amazing.

Nice! Thanks a lot :)

[[IMD]~Silent Planet WiP]

Love the song!

The entire song was wonderful :3
I think the detuned saw could be less detuned on the second half, as well as more effects added, but its all cool.
I never really listened to Industrial, but I think the instruments could use an update.
Add me on MSN and send the flp!

IceMasterDlux responds:

Thanks for the review! I'm glad to hear you liked it! I will look into perhaps changing the detuning on the saw that you mentioned, thanks for the advice. Glad to see I still have your support haha! God bless!

[Basshunter DoTa Remix full]

Better :)

I still think it needs a stronger pad.
The clap was pretty sweet, but it lacked something.
The delay on the melody was pretty cool.
The baseline felt a bit fat, but it wasnt too bad.
Nice job remastering :)

djresset responds:

thanks

[ZP || Midnight Fantasy]

. . .

Thanks Zach. From the first minute I learned something :)
I think the intro was a little long.
That clap.......that clap.....you have a better one?
Chord Progression and melody are (as always) great. I dont know if you use 3xosc, but I would recommend using that as its one of the best plugins you can use. Delay on that one instrument was epic, and emphasized on the melody pretty well. (Continued from youtube)
The bells were pretty cool, but had a little resonance that dulled the sound. The bass was pretty awesome. Kick seemed high pitched, but was pretty cool. I personally think a piano would be PERFECT for this song paired with the bells.

9/10
5/5 (Because your epic :D )

Thanks for the great review as always!! :D

[Trance Mash up]

Hey

Im going to list some things about the song and tell how you can fix them.
There were some off notes. Try to stick to certain scale.
Experiment with the basic 4 beat kick progression. Your perccussion stood out, but the different parts of it varied a bit too much.
Try using a bassline as well. It gives your music a better feel to it.
Try to also use 3xosc. It looks basic, but if you experiment with it you can make it sound pretty good. Also try to learn how to use the mixer if you havent already. Later on you will need to know how to use effects. And if you want to use vocals try to make your own or find samples on the internet. This is pretty good for a first song. Hell, it was better than my first one. Inbox me if you have any questions. Oh and if you are new to Newgrounds then Welcome to Newgrounds.
