D-Chain's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[GTB - Dystopia [TEASER]]

right off the bat great bass and synth!
imo i would remove the shaker(hats) at 0:14 and add them back later on ;)
overall quality is pretty good!
You going to finish ?

Dj-Gonzo responds:

Hey! Thanks for checking this out!

Well, I'll try to finish it after I end my degree next July. I am just uploading little demos at the moment because I don't have that much time to work on my music projects. I'll keep posting these little teaser until I am finally free.

Thanks again for listening! :D

[GTB - Far Away [TEASER]]

:O this reminds me of good old times, but also Ashley Wallbridge(producer/DJ). Good stuff Gonzo!

Dj-Gonzo responds:

Thanks Timo! Glad you liked it :D

[These Eyes]

such pure and small melody, simply crushed by the dark vibes of this DnB track.
i love it!
At first glance i hoped you would go even darker after 0:44 just love the sustain/reverb.
but never the less, great track im faving!

5TanLey responds:

thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)

[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!

[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!

[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!
