D-Chain's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Astro Boy Theme Song]

i totally agree with BronyLegend here.
this piece could have been much more powerful/bigger than it is now. EVENTHOUGH you weren't trying to make it a big thing.
i always try to tell or show people that any bass frequention is a must-have when it comes
to making a good song or just any piece of music in general. without it feels kind of.. heartless/empty.
even your own speaking voice reflects a vorm of bass that kicks in at different (lower) tones when talking.

anyway, dont let yourself discourage by the low ratings and votes.
thats just more of a.. A-hole thing rather than an ok-im-going-to-vote/rate-fair thing.
lots of A-hole's on this site. including myself, i dont know how much exactly.

Luna-Sky responds:

lol its ok im glad someone listened though ^^

[Norato - We live now v1.3]

the melody is really nice! i think the best yoiu ever did :)
but the dubstep/elektro wubs make it hard to listen to bc i think its in the same register, maybe you should make the elektro sounds more mono and the melody more stereo, or the other way around(melody more mono, elektro sounds more stereo) that way people can listen to both at the same time lol

Norato responds:

YES, Tottaly agree with you... Thats becouse I made the lead first and then wanted to seperate those part, made clasic electro house track with long bass & Lead but I wanted to try something new so it kinda fall into same freq. reg.

It´s my first song of that gendre and I deffinitly want to keep makeing songs like this. Complextro/dubstep mixed with Electro-house :D

I always missed melody on dubstep track couse u cant really use many notes, it´s just on the synth. I will try to perfect that style over the time :)

Thanks for pointing that out and for the tip.

[Sudden Death]

HANDS DOWN _0_

im speechless, since when did you go on a dubstep tour haha
energetic till the end!

AeronMusic responds:

Since I was experimenting with some wubs etc. and so it became a dubstep track lol. Thanks!!

[butterfly(piano)]

indeed,
nice one!
now i can finally enjoy my morning.

DJ-xTc responds:

thanks, me too.
So you're using D-Chain now?

[Mysterious Sleeper (C)]

nice remake! if it wasnt for this submission i would have never known about the original which is pretty epic i must say, however.
i feel like the 'guitar' part at the near end of your remake is a bit high on the ears,
try to cut the mid-high and high ends while EQing next time if you please :)
faving!

Rinibra responds:

Thank you!! : )

[Chain]

so im wondering what the contents of those 15% are lol
good song!

ForeverBound responds:

Thanks man, and he did more then 15% so whatever

[Free Your Mind]

hmm its a nice peace, its clear you have improved but mastering wise it kinda lacks the 'clearness'
the vocals are a nice addition to the song, like you said yourself it gives an extra kick, which it does perfectly!

however, im kinda missing a low bass.. i dont have subwoofers, but i have an extremely sensitive headphone, boosting ANY kind of bass and judging by that its kind of weak to the ears. which might be a compressing/mastering issue aswell.

i understand BlueOceans statement about the synths, its kinda messy (hard to hear)
but i already mentioned that it might be a mastering issue.

Shabadaman responds:

Thanks for the review! You've picked up on some issues I had with mastering this song, since I used a lot of raw sounds (particularly manipulating 3xOsc). I'm not really used to the process of Eq'ing these kind of harsh sawtooth sounds, but I'll get used to it!

With regards to the bass problem, It seemed to muffle the song slightly for some reason, I got a much clearer sound when I removed my sub, so that's why you've noticed the lack of low end :) I'll have to include it for my next one!

Thanks as always.

[Beautiful Life (Remix)]

needs waaaayyy more attention than this..
i dont get it.
SCHIET OP MET DIE REVIEWS lol

nice remix man!
2:47 lijkt misschien raar te klinken maar het is 100% on key. en dus geen fout te bekennen.
de kleine vocal chops zijn nog niet on key..

ForeverBound responds:

Thanks man, and yes I've really struggled a lot with those vocals they where pretty hard to let them sound good and on key. maybe I need to practice some more with them ;)

[Slow Advantage]

wow dis is so clean man, whats your secret? :)
its also waayyy better than your other works!
may i fav this one yes?

AeronMusic responds:

Thanks man! :D Euh i think i just love mastering, some heavy maximus use and fruity EQ. Trying to make the kick as clean as possible. And well, I can't explain the "secret" so well, but I just work till I think its neat enough! I always work longer on the mastering than everything else! Yeah its better than my other work, i agree. More work (maybe better work ) is coming up. And ofcourse you may favorite this! Thanks again! ^^

[Norato - Voice]

good ur this deep into creating sounds!
mastering-wise it could still use some work.
goodjob ;)

Norato responds:

Ye I must agree with you. Especialy that bass sounds is too loud :-/. IT´s becouse I made that song with my GRANDPA headphones with are really NOT even close to quality speakers. I noticed that mastering issue when I heard the song on my friend speakers.

Thanks for mentioning that ;)
