Dj-GST's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Flying_Fortress_Of_Chaos]

Nice man

This was pretty god damn good. Nothing to really to change, except maybe that synth starting at 1:15, it kinda put off the song.

The vocals were nice, you did a good job on them.

This didn't sound really all that repetitive, despite your comments.

Good man, good!

4/5 9/10

[Alive and Awake]

Well

It isn't too original, but was still quite good.

I feel that the kick could maybe be more pronounced. There was no bass on it at all, kinda sounded like a pumped rimshot.

All in all, not bad.

TheSongSalad responds:

Thanks for the review. I really think the kick should have been stronger, that i totally agree with. Thanks for the review man.

[-[ Flight One ]-]

Insane

I swear, this is one of the most professional sounding songs I've heard on here so far.

I loved every second of it, nothing to change, nothing to add, totally perfect.

5/5 10/10

FlamingFirebolt responds:

Insane review!

[Speeding Through Infinity]

Good

It's good but I felt that the drums could be more pronounced, and were a little too fast for a chill song like this.
It also seemed like there was a little too much going on at once.

The piano was very good, you had good melodies, and this is quite relaxing.

The biggest problem that I had is that a lot of the synths sounded very video gamy to me. That doesn't really suit trance very well.

I, again, must comment on how good the piano was, you are quite good at that. Maybe try making some Ambient, you'd probably do very well.

4/5 9/10

Step responds:

Wow, thanks for the review!

Yeah, I admit I completely messed up the drums this time. And the samples are horrible :(.

As for the song having too much going on at once, I'll have to agree with you as well. This song was very cluttered, especially after the quiet part.

As for the melodies, I'm glad you liked them. I personally think they're some of my best melodies. The piano, well, I'm a piano player myself so I try my best :P. I have a few other piano songs, such as Cries of the Tormented, Night in the Forest, Not a Care in the World, Spacewalk and Power of the Piano, they're probably much better than the piano part in this.

The synths, yeah, it was my first trance, so I couldn't really get the synths right. Also I'm not a regular listener of professional trance, so I'm never too sure what synths to use.

Wow lol, you liked the piano more than I expected xP. It was a sort of addition that came to me naturally - I almost always try and incorporate piano in my trance songs, and I have to admit I didn't work too hard on the piano part, but I'm glad you liked it! Also, I tried making ambient, and although people did like my ambient intro in Cries of the Tormented, for example, I can't stand making a whole ambient song. Ridiculous amounts of harmonizing, beautiful synths, loads of effects and stretching notes to two bars each isn't my thing xP.

Thanks again for the review, and sorry for the long response =/.

[!~Diversity~!]

Umm

happy? where was the happy part? it all seemed pretty mad to me.

drums need more vaiation, as well as the melodies. this needs more progression and buildup.

it didn't seem to flow very well. it's TOO "diverse".

TheElementalProdigy responds:

Well, I Dont Think There Is Such THing As "TOO Diverse" The Limit Is The Limit You Set In Your Mind...With That Being Said, The Happy Part Was Supposed To Be At 1:03 Unfortunately It Was Cut Short For Some Reason, I Apolagize To All For That, But Thanks For Your Input

[Around The World BetaBassMix]

Ok...

The melodies were okay, a little repetitive, and the synths used weren't of very high quality.

The drums need a lot of work. You can barely hear them, they need to be accentuated quite a bit more. Even if a song is supposed to be about the melodies, you need a good drum pattern or two to liven things up a bit, especially if the song is in the whole Techno genre.

All in all, not bad, but not good either. Once you improve those aspects, this could grow to be quite a good song. It has a HUGE amount of potential.

[Mortal Kombat! Techno-ish]

its ok

kinda dry, but at least you got all of the notes perfect!

BotonyProduktions responds:

Yea i wanted to sound dry and "dirty". Anyway, thanks for the review, and your honesty.

[Moon Beam Demo]

okay

a lot of the notes are off key, most notably the eurogate.

vary the drums a bit more, and take out those vocals at the beginning.

if you do that for the full version, you'll have a pretty decent song :)

[SF - Hardcore Generation]

good good

180 bpm, that's what all my favorite songs are! I love fast shit. keep it up man!

SubtleForces responds:

Thanks :D

Dont worry, I will keep it up :P
