D-Chain's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Syplux]

10 + 5ed

Yeah!, your going somewhere bro :D
Awsome!
just a little sumthing i would suggest:
add MORE instruments or higher the volume of the current setup ;)

shown from the quality-ala-side it is awsome quality :)
so, i gues my summery says enough dont ya think!

-Timo

CRomDayLeR responds:

Thx!

I was thinking about another instrument too when I made it, but...um...well...to lazy xD.

I am very happy that you liked it. :D

[[Fiji]Revival]

Hmm

Youre idea's are cool, but the mixing and stuff is a bit low leveled,
im especially missing kick-compression.
and ofcourse some better cymbals and/or percussion would be nice to roll that compressed kick and make an awsome off or on -beat bass to it as a following for the synth's / pad's / arp's ect. :D
These synth choices are a bit harsh, i get more the feeling that these fit better in hardstyle or some other hard stuff like hardtrance.

positive pointers:
-Trancegate is nice!
-bass BEAT is great, fits the notes nicely
-this kick youre using could be compressed in an awsome way! :)

hope this helps you a bit on a next trance journey :)
Youll get my 8 n 5ed!

-Timo

MrFijiWiji responds:

will try some kick compression
and ive just got vec2 the other day
i think that will fix ur issue with samples...
but i actually really enjoyed the samples in this song :/

unrealdark responds:

Fanxies :3

[Let's Go For It]

Well

tbh, sounds a bit like Barthezz / Bart Claessen at some points :)
for example: 4.09 - 4.39 ;)
Keep it up

MaelouX responds:

Thks! sorry but i don't know Barthezz / Bart Claessen :x
I'll check it out ;)

[-PdG- Luminescence]

You know

whats funny about your last name 'blackwell'
is that its like dis idiot/silly dj:
Hardwell [also house, but wouldnt recommend to listen]

so i know this isnt going anywhere but i just wanted to tell you :)

and about the song, its far MORE better then Hardwell :D
awsome bro!
5/5 - /9/10

Prodigal responds:

HAHAHA Hardwell.

Don't know him, don't care.

Thanks for the review! Didn't expect that much views on this but I guess anything can happen :D

[Forest of souls]

You know,

I felt it in my toe's and fingertips.
most of the time that's a good thing to know[for myself, or others].
So keep at this point! your very VERY good at it! :)

5/5 - 10/10

Charleon responds:

Thank you my loyal follower, As a creative source I see loads of problems with the song after making it, but I'm glad it inspires, and I have alot more to come, so stay tuned! =)

[-={DJ-PHX}=- Crystal Bubbles]

Hmm

watch out when your doing a double or triple kick combo :)
sometimes it can distord the bass or even fade both of them.
Nice as always, smooth and peacefull :)

5/5 - 9/10

-Timo

unrealdark responds:

I know, but it wasn't that distorted. When I did I tried to use as less sounds I could. So the fading outs aren't hearable. Clippers and volume envlopes for the win! :)
Thanks for the review! It's appreciated!

[-={DJ-PHX}=- Influenced Power]

This is,

an interesting style youve made yourself.
i can clearly hear those styles combining points, and fits real good!
i never thought you where still into trance/progressive/dance ect.
But what i love the most of your song is the hard percussion/cymbal loop
that rolls the kick and bass! :)

anyways, i have no more words to give,
so i give it a 5/5 - 10/10 :)

Awsome job!

-Timo

unrealdark responds:

Neither was I. Though I got back in those genres again.
Thanks for noticing this tiny but effective style of percussion. I didn't use loops.
I'm trying to get rid of them in my tracks. Thanks for the input once more! It's appreciated!

[I'm So Mainstream WiP]

w00t

Now you have to tell me where to found dis synth sound :D

4/5 - 8/10

DJ-xTc responds:

I made it with z3ta by changing some settings with the commercial trance preset

[-pdg- Another Trance Loop]

Wow hold it!

This is awsome mate :)
A great job, but i dont understand the guy right under me telling you to slow it down with you telling to slow it down to 132bpm?
i think 134 - 136,5 would fit nicely..

But anyways its your music :)
And its already great enough.

5/5 - 10/10 [ ill fav when youve finnished it ]

-Timo

Prodigal responds:

Thanks man.

The guy under this review is actually right. To make the more progressive feel, I should slow it down to 132 to actually make it sound really nice. I usually use 134-136 but I think i'll try something different this time around.

Thanks for the review man, i'll let ya know when the full comes out!
