D-Chain's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[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?

[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.

[NM - Red Force (WIP)]

what?

thats all? xD

MessanyRecordings responds:

Sorry, I should have posted a longer preview

[EzMa - Looking Ahead (Preview)]

Lol

its nice tho but i feel like there's allot of uncompressed stuff which makes it..
blurry/messy.
compressing is all about keeping your sound at a current dB level by suppressing the sound(s) with the compression you want.

EQ stuff is on the good way tho!
and prog-trance is all about making awsome beats with heavy bass and wonderfull pluck/synth melody's ;)

(i dont wanna be the wise guy here..
but its just to make you see what the differences are)

Besides if i may, what gear/equipment are you using?
bc i havent spend a cent yet to develop my skillz (im using fruity loops atm)

eimad-zamrik responds:

Hey D-Chain, thanks for the review, the explanations are nice. These kinds of reviews are just taken as positive criticism so no worries there bro and they are what i look for here on newgrounds.

what i meant by my budget is that I do not currently have decent speakers at all so they are not going to tell me how my sounds actually sound (if they need tuning or not), especially on other speakers and especially since there are colourations built-in these speakers produced by the manufacturer meaning preset frequencies . I'm looking into studio monitor speakers.

I'll defintely take a look into the compressor, you are correct a lot of the stuff is not compressed and it is good to know that i should compress them, ill look into that right away.

I appreciate the review, i'll definitely continue producing with your advice in mind. Thanks!

[*Dubstep* Cement Coffin]

i would

love to colaberate sometime.. someday.. in the near future.
until then, this is pretty intense on my ears :) perhaps lowering some EQ frequentions would do a decent job on the intense bass. around 139 - 300hz

Hikari responds:

Lol, sounds fun. its hard to master music with $2 earbuds with no range xD

[Soft Power - Demo]

Nice!

Reminds me of pokemon, and lots of more gameboy (color/advanced) games ^^

Michael-Flaherty responds:

Thanks dude!

[EPSSounds- Rebirth]

nice

early happy hardcore :)
good memories back in the 90's

EPSSounds responds:

Thanks ^_^
Yea, music is not what it use to be now-a-days... Like Khanken said down below, it doesn't sound like "modern" trance... I wasn't going for "modern" lol I don't like how things have changed so I was trying to remind everyone with this song xD

[Almost There (WIP)]

it's

clear alright,
however your kick is missing an important piece,..
its really soft.

i like the chords and piano allot tho!
white noise could be.. better awell imo.

DJ-Babokon responds:

Well I wanted the kick to be soft in the intro. Just giving it that heartbeat kinda feel.

[Deep progressive house(update)]

Really

liking the bass but aspecially the plucks <3
wonderfull music.

alanisnotcool responds:

thanks =DD im still working on this song actually as i type this =D

[~Delta~ Clever Mind (Club Mix)]

3 words awsome

wonderfull tune man, however it laggs a bit of power imo.. maybe some filters where a bit off idk. it just misses something :) (otherwise you would get the 10)
and its a shame if you will let this beauty die bc of it.

aliaspharow responds:

Yeah you got some good points. Il definitly work on that. Speaking of which, im Remixing Rain Forest :D. Its an epic mix of styles. Cant wait to show it to you
