D-Chain's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dragonzball P]

Haha

freaking genious!
who else would do something like this.

just a full on 10 + 5 for being really original :D

[Dubstep - Mercury *FIXED*]

shoop da woop v2

hey back at you,
this is interesting from start to end,
however i feel like the high melody is getting a bit weird.. after some time
bc its too long in there.
member this is dubstep,
sudden changes may happen, with flawless mixing
just a matter of taste and choices.

1:53 is a but bumpy tho,.. looks like it distords for a short time.(tip)

kay this conversation is over now.

DdottodD responds:

Yah I should look out for that repeating melody, it's so tempting to just keep it and not bother switching it up. I had another part inside the song but I cut it out so it is a little more repetitive now. The distortion at 1:53 I actually love lol, I thought it sounded pretty cool. Thanks for the review

[A Lifetime - F-777 ReMiX]

One of a few

i like :) this one hits the spot.
love those sounds!

[Something's Coming]

wonderfull!

just wonderfull man..
i would have quit the job. (but thats me)

[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....?
