D-Chain's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Shabadaman - Genesis]

i like

the bassy plucks you have,
the weird percussion
but i dont like how this is mastered.
maybe i confused you with something..
but kicks are really really harmfull when you use compression, cz the compression takes allot of the kicks bass part away with the incomplete/wrong settings.

the PAD sound which comes in slowly around 1:10 is having ALLOT of reverb.
trance songs are known for their use of reverb but this is a over the top if you get me :)

other then that i think the tension is quite high.. you should lower some volume on the PAD :)
and add the FL 'Grossbeat' with the Sidechain setting. helps allot.

one other thing is that i cannot hear any 'seperate' bass, apart from your melody's.

well.. these are my pointers so far mannn, keep rocking, youll get there eventually.

[Forgotten Nebula]

cody..

just wonderfull.
i cant see how this is repetitive aswell.. just kick your friends a-h8le for saying such a thing xD
-like the start
-like the crispyness
-its clean(no distortion)
-it has a constant BPM
-lots of features/changes
-wonderfull sounds
-great transitions

so.. just all in all, there's nothing bad imo.
ready to be released on a supporting label :)

codbarley responds:

Appreciate the review my friend! too bad its impossible to get signed nowadays and I can't just churn out albums on cue :/

I'd love to have a mentor from the eurotrance scene though. I really look up to people like AvB and Dash Berlin. It would be so awesome just to have a one on one chat with one of them.

[Destiny - SG]

i still

feel like this isnt trancy..
its more a dancy type of music.
tho you get the 8, cz you finally hit my soul.
i felt warm from the inside so goodjob!

SKILLZmakeKILLZ responds:

its Dream trance. its too bad they dont have that option.
thank you, but why the 8....?

[The Abandoned Hospital - SG]

like it

its not very good but for your first try, this is pretty decent ^^
i like the pitch starting at 1:11
your wobbles are a bit.. down if you get me, but they are there.

ps; i dont ONLY comment at tracks i dont like, dont get the wrong idea from my last review at one of ur songs kay. its just the truth. and if you cant see it, i cant help you.

[2. World of Fire (BTD)]

heavy metal song

finally a REAL heavy metal song..
some guys out there just dont know what those 3 words mean.
but you do :) i like this very much can see this with growl's and clean vocals!

[Lasttt]

im glad

it might be.

SUCKK MYYYYYYYY DICKHEADDDDDDDDD BAAAAATCHHH HAA

[Blue Skies - SG]

"subject"

im not getting a warm or cold feeling when i hear this.
its just that i hear ALLOT of these songs at NG more often
and they just almost sound excactly the same..
its like Dash Berlin has 99987977 copy-paste brothers lol.

SKILLZmakeKILLZ responds:

what about our other songs... it seems as if you only comment the ones you dont like? or maybe they are all horrible?

[EPSSounds- Mind at Peace]

Haha

well the randomness you created back then is totally awsome xD
however it isnt mastered, sometimes hurts my ears xD
tho, there are clean parts in there, so if this really is one of the first songs, you where better then me when i first started.

[Lost Paradise[remix]]

being honest

no.. this doesnt sound anything near trance..
its more of a dance class.
the sounds you used are dull, and sometimes blurry.
just to be honest i wouldnt vote this a 5..

1 good pointer; i like the piano notes.

[Kr1z - Forever (NMDT Remix)]

"Subject"

Hmm i tought this was going to be an awsome piece of art bc it starte so F-ing clean,
but then at 0:23 + 4:29 its not on key..
around 1:13 you created a blurry/dull feeling to it by introducing this lead i didnt like.
and once again at 1:40 its clean :)

MessanyRecordings responds:

I think I will use another lead, another bass and other hihats in the rework then :)
Thanks for your review.
