D-Chain's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Explosion]

feels kinda messy.. im not really sure what you where going for but, to me it sounds like noise before the calm wind returns halfway in. but i spoke too soon.. the noise returns xD
it sounds like you stacked sound upon sound upon sound ect. ect. and took no effort in actually creating depth.
other than that, it sound like a 'fun' project rather then something serious ;)

be well, dont take this as an insult pls.
but most important, have fun doing music!

PancakePocket responds:

Thanks for the review! I am always trying to improve!

[Ebullience (Original Mix)]

oh god the 2009 trance vibe is present <3<3<3 lovelovelove this :D

Mich responds:

The late 00s (well, most of the 00s actually) were a good time for Trance in my opinion, so I take that as high praise, thank you. :-) Glad you enjoy!

[TheFatRat ft. Laura Brehm - Monody (GTB Remix) [NG cut]]

well let me tell you that i took the time to listen to your 2015 Monody remix demo version.
This i do so i can compare the 2 besides giving "just" a review ;)

So on to the start where it all begins.
you start of fresh i like it, its energized and fast paced.
The following build up's are quick strong and some are subtle changes that scream for more energy.
And with good reason because it keeps building and more energy is given to me the listener.
This truely reminds me of how trance used to sound 15 years ago.
But, i can't forgive myself for putting this in the review, i really dont like how the lead synth sounds, it is simply too cheesy for me :) i somewhat had hoped that in those 2 years you would somehow tweak the sound a little bit to make it less cheesy. but thats just MY PERSONAL TASTE lol.

Those vocals are amazing aswell, a great acapella AND great singer.
I feel that you put too much reverb on those vocals, better lower that reverb a little bit and try to combi with really subtle delay so you almost draw it sort of out, but its subtle so more for filler.
Another thing is the effects (sweeps, crashes ect) are somewhat harshe, you could lower the volume levels a bit to make it more friendly to the listeners ears ;)

Apart from my critism, i really REALLY love what you did with this remix.
It truely shows that much time has gone into it, therefor i shall fav it.
Ill give you 4,5 stars as my review score and a 5 on the rating because this deserves a 5.

just remember, music comes from the heart and soul, time is only a limitation for us producers.

[GTB - Alma [#2 TEASER]]

Felicitaciones! :D
Tiene más cuerpo que la versión anterior!
it is really great you have taken this one to a higher level.
Now it sounds so much more delicate :)
It sounds like it can breath freely.

Goodluck!

Dj-Gonzo responds:

¡Gracias Timo!

I am still working on it, but I've been really busy lately. Glad you appreciate the details I added between the two teasers, thanks for sharing a review as always, you're the reason why I am still working hard to improve my production skills. Hope someday we make something together!

[NiTi - Elemental Crysis (Original Mix)]

i like what i hear but your mix draws so much attention towards your kickdrum
that i cannot enjoy this at a higher volume on headphones ;)
But looking beyond my statement, its pretty dope!

TodukenMusic responds:

Thanks. I'm new to this mastering, so I screwed up the frequency to the bass drum. Anyway, thanks for your opinion!

[777.mp3]

epic man!
reminds me of Envotion, great musical trio, i encourage you to have a listen!

[GTB - Alma [TEASER]]

Nice chords, its very major (happy).
tho, there are flaws, like any other musical teaser has.
In the mean time why dont you try sidechaining the chords?
Hopefully that will create room for your kickdrum.
and as a bonus, sidechain adds a little extra flow.
I can go into technical details with this review,
but since it is only a teaser i will spare you the long story :)
Goodluck advancing your projects and skill.

Dj-Gonzo responds:

Thanks for your review Timo! Yeah, I've been sidechaining the chords recently, and they really give a more dynamic feeling to the song, thanks for the advice. I wish you good luck too!

[ENtrance - Belgrade (Original Mix)]

fuck me
your whole EQ bandwidth seems to be all focused on the higher end,
those highs pierce right through my ears.. do something abt it asap.

ENtrance93 responds:

yeah :)

[2016 WiP]

OOOOOHMAIIIIGAAWWWD ITS KRUSSI!!! :D:D damn you dont know how much ive missed your music, and this piece just sums up why. Its a Fantastic one!

Krussi responds:

haha!
Kept you waiting, huh! Yeah, its been a while. Sorry :P
It's really nice to see that you're still hanging out on newgrounds. Listened to some of your songs and they sound really amazing!
Been messing around with alot of sounds and genres over the past years. But I seem to fall back into my old habits. I'm thinking about uploading another WiP-reel with some songs I've been working on, to get some feedback on.

Anyhow. A big thanks to you man for the support and the review! I really appreciate it and the support over the years :)
