Dj-GST's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-[ 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

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

[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.

[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

[~techno Crap~]

your right

it's not hard to make techno, especially when it's a shitty track like this. next time spend more that an hour and forty five minutes on a track and maybe you'll get something of decent quality.

TrystanSeven responds:

Aww someone got their feelings hurt.

And I made it shitty and fast for a reason, because half of the "great" techno songs on this site sound like a 10 year old kid who torrented FL Studio yesterday made em.

[Watch Your Back {Dj-Abbic}]

wow

dude this was awesome! you really need to make this into a full song!

DjAbbic responds:

Lol. I only had like 10 mins to go before I had to sleep so I just made this

[20-10]

....

not bad. I quite enjoyed it. decent set up.

NaaaB responds:

thanks for review !

[-=[Falling Forward]=-]

umm

the beginning was very misleading, it was setting the song up to be a fast paced, high energy track, but the song was instead, in my opinion, quite boring.

you could have, at least, put a drum pattern in there, and maybe some buildup leading to a main melody.

DarkMInds responds:

I can see your point, still working on molding my musical persona. I have yet to make a song that is good all the way through, some are good in the beginning, some in the middle, some at the end. It's the little details that make a song and I don't have a whole lot of time on my hands, so I don't get a lot of hands on learning time for myself. Be sure to check back in the future when I do update songs, and see if I'm any better :D Besides, this is only my first double digit song.. did you expect it to be great? O_o

[Lifestream by Mobius]

this was great!

nothing to change at all man. this song is perfect.

DjMobius responds:

thank you :)
