D-Chain's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mysterious Sleeper (C)]

nice remake! if it wasnt for this submission i would have never known about the original which is pretty epic i must say, however.
i feel like the 'guitar' part at the near end of your remake is a bit high on the ears,
try to cut the mid-high and high ends while EQing next time if you please :)
faving!

Rinibra responds:

Thank you!! : )

[Chain]

so im wondering what the contents of those 15% are lol
good song!

ForeverBound responds:

Thanks man, and he did more then 15% so whatever

[Free Your Mind]

hmm its a nice peace, its clear you have improved but mastering wise it kinda lacks the 'clearness'
the vocals are a nice addition to the song, like you said yourself it gives an extra kick, which it does perfectly!

however, im kinda missing a low bass.. i dont have subwoofers, but i have an extremely sensitive headphone, boosting ANY kind of bass and judging by that its kind of weak to the ears. which might be a compressing/mastering issue aswell.

i understand BlueOceans statement about the synths, its kinda messy (hard to hear)
but i already mentioned that it might be a mastering issue.

Shabadaman responds:

Thanks for the review! You've picked up on some issues I had with mastering this song, since I used a lot of raw sounds (particularly manipulating 3xOsc). I'm not really used to the process of Eq'ing these kind of harsh sawtooth sounds, but I'll get used to it!

With regards to the bass problem, It seemed to muffle the song slightly for some reason, I got a much clearer sound when I removed my sub, so that's why you've noticed the lack of low end :) I'll have to include it for my next one!

Thanks as always.

[Beautiful Life (Remix)]

needs waaaayyy more attention than this..
i dont get it.
SCHIET OP MET DIE REVIEWS lol

nice remix man!
2:47 lijkt misschien raar te klinken maar het is 100% on key. en dus geen fout te bekennen.
de kleine vocal chops zijn nog niet on key..

ForeverBound responds:

Thanks man, and yes I've really struggled a lot with those vocals they where pretty hard to let them sound good and on key. maybe I need to practice some more with them ;)

[Slow Advantage]

wow dis is so clean man, whats your secret? :)
its also waayyy better than your other works!
may i fav this one yes?

AeronMusic responds:

Thanks man! :D Euh i think i just love mastering, some heavy maximus use and fruity EQ. Trying to make the kick as clean as possible. And well, I can't explain the "secret" so well, but I just work till I think its neat enough! I always work longer on the mastering than everything else! Yeah its better than my other work, i agree. More work (maybe better work ) is coming up. And ofcourse you may favorite this! Thanks again! ^^

[Norato - Voice]

good ur this deep into creating sounds!
mastering-wise it could still use some work.
goodjob ;)

Norato responds:

Ye I must agree with you. Especialy that bass sounds is too loud :-/. IT´s becouse I made that song with my GRANDPA headphones with are really NOT even close to quality speakers. I noticed that mastering issue when I heard the song on my friend speakers.

Thanks for mentioning that ;)

[Norato - Get real]

you forgot to mention "Dimitri & Like Mike + Moguai - Mammoth" lol
good song man!

Norato responds:

Ye i know. Just I am fan of Moguai so I wanted to high-light I get inspired by mostly of his work, and not only on song Mammoth but also by other his pieces :)

[Azure Kaleidoscope]

i agree about the snare sound. not my taste in DnB lol
as for the rest, its sounding pretty pro to me!!

Shabadaman responds:

Thanks for the review, i'm glad you like it man!
