D-Chain's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Unfinished Shit]

I like

most of them, especially the happy hardcore ones.
their really catchy!
i hope to hear the very first one in its final state some day.
and please, give the first one this name:
-Untouchable
or something in the way of ......

well, goodluck ^^

Krussi responds:

Thanks man :P I've been working on them back and forth for quite some time now. I really want to finish them, but I got a bad habit of starting on new songs before I complete the old ones.

Thanks alot for the title suggestion, the comment and the support man :D

Cheers ^^

[A Bright Future]

hmm

sounds like a basic FL kick? [correct me if im wrong]
and in general, the sounds you have could use some compression and EQ stuff,
while the bass needs most of the compression.

maybe i could help you with anything you need???
PM me if you want :)

take care!

Dragonarios responds:

The kick is from the Vengeance packs, but maybe it does sound a bit basic.
I didnt really do any compression or EQ'ing, so you are right, i still have to do that.

Ill keep it in mind when im going to work on this one. Thanks for the help!!!

[xKore - Eden (Nechura Remix)]

Well Well Wowwwww

i think this is one of the better remixes of Eden,
the oonly think im concerned abt is the kick-bass, i think it needs some more bass around the 60 - 80 frequention to make it a bit heavier :)
maybe a bit layering on the arp-synth you brought in around 3:12, just a bit more high and less attack or less release but thats just my opinion.

i guess i have enuff said, nothing more to complain abt.

goodluck on editing/finishing!

-Timo

Nechura responds:

Hey man, thanks for checking this out and reviewing it. Haven't really got any comments or critique on it since I uploaded it so I'm thankful for this!

xKore said the kick was weak in the WIP I uploaded last week. It's stupid though, I've been EQing it on my cans and my monitors. On my cans, it does sound really weak but with my monitors, it sounds like it's cutting through just fine. I'll have a shot at boosting the lows on it but it's getting to the point where It'll be bleeding into the basses' frequencies pretty bad so I'm not so sure what I'll do.. I need to learn to mix better :/

Not sure what I'll do with the pluck. I like it the way it is but then again, I don't. It sounds great in the outro with just the drums and bongos but it doesn't sound right playing over the bass. If I end up editing it more, I'll have a play around with it and see if I can get it to mix in a bit more but I dunno'.

Thanks for the review and the kind words. At this point, I'm glad for any pointers I can get. Take it easy.

[Progressive house intro WIP]

pretty good stuff

Maybe getting that awsome high melody a bit to the background and turn up the volume a bit.
makes it more intense tru headphones :)

-Timo / Mau5mate

Ozzy93 responds:

Im thinking of creating a new main melody and turn down the one thats in it now.

Making the song any louder louder than it is now is hard tho, I think the loudness of it now is the loudest i could set it to without getting clipping and distortion.

Thanks for the help! :)

[Pulstate (DJQ & LT Original)]

w0000t

hey bro, get this to trance for real, this isnt just something, this is techtrance and doesnt deserve to be on the house section xD
my say: amazing work guys!

DJ-Qwamii responds:

I think so too. But it seems that this track also goes to Progressive House. :c

[~MM~ 39 piano improvisation 3]

you my friend,

have golden fingertips.
i cant think of anything bad at this point as this really grab's hold on me.
i hope you do something wonderfull with this talent in the future, and if you wont .....
well thats another story.
let me just simply score this with a 10 and 5, and also fav it to my favorites.
and end this short story im telling xD

check you later!
goodluck and ofcourse [im late] have a great new happy year!

-Timo

Musical-Memoirs responds:

i am happy to say that they are not made of gold, not only would that have given me a lot of biological problems, but also made me unable to play the piano without the sound of gold hitting the keyboard, i want to keep my music pure :P
though i dont know if im able to do something wonderfull in the future with my talent, i do plan to do so (and i believe i am getting closer and closer in time)
now... if i just had the time i would do even more...

[-MiB!- Lost In The Dark []

well

crowded vocals make it less interesting.
thats 1 thing ive learned from others.
it really does.

the kicks are waaaay overbased in the beginning and around 2 min also.

but i guess youve grown much more into hardcore stuff if i talk abt the melody's :)
so keep it up.

RandomDanceOfHappy responds:

already diming them down i had to do one okay song with them ya know? onlythign i like is the part where there claping!
i like bass tho D: i like it in my car ^.^ fills nice in good!
ill tweak it lower tho cos i want more distorted thin bass:p ill just turn them up louder! im getting there atleast i think so the synths have alot more depth to them in this song and i like! thanks for the helps tho! :D im learning alot just takes time x.x
ive been working on makeing my own leads lately to -.- not going so well ! my next songs going to be a tish dif thin this by a tish i mean alot lol

[Burning Rage (WIP)]

Ait

hey bro decided to check around for some stuff like thiz

i wasnt really diggin for some hardstyle, but still
as crap as this might be in your eyes, its a good WiP for what it is, better then my first HS WiP or song i have in mind.

so please spare us the failing part, otherwise you wouldnt have started thiz.
besides, there are MANY, i mean too MUCH tutors on youtube abt the hardstyle kick, they talk abt having a punch first, the first part of the kick, and making the kicktail [kick bass] later on.

so i suggest you to look for this first:
hardstyle kick tutorial

or just this simple and way too short tutor:

[remove any space if necessary]

so.. i hope this can get you a step further into your journey of hardstyle :)
just proof your bettah then me xD

Sign: ..

Dragonarios responds:

Thanks so much! Finnaly some help!
Actually, i started this because a friend of mine asked me. I didnt want to upload this at all xd But i am happy that you think this isnt that bad.
Im going to try to make this better, maybe ill have a full version soon!
