dj-Jo's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[{dj-N} TransformR]

Very nice :D WUBWUBWUB

I liked the dubstep wobs very much\
I like how the Subs were used in this also, gives the song some nice vibes combined with the piano

The drums were nothing special, but I do like the snare and the panned hihats and cymbals

The choirs in the background are pretty nice for an angelic effect vs the evil wubs lol

But pertaining to the ending, it needs some work, unless you were going for a loop thing...
Otherwise, filtering the wubs out slowly accompanied by some light piano parts from the beginning melody and maybe some strings with the choirs in the background ending on a light note would be nice...

or

you could go for a hard ending and extend the wub wub wub starting at 2:20 with a different pattern of wubs with a more faster and harder melody with intensified drums.
As for intense drums, I always thought of imitating a metal type drum set using the sample VEC1 BD ReverbFX 02 and taking out the kick and maybe adding a Transient shapers to make the sample to appear to become more of a hit of an electronic crash symbol
I would then use that crash hit on each beat and add some double kick drum patterns and some epic snare hit's you've already mastered down :D

and then maybe add an epic lead synth in the upper frequencies, specifically the synth you used in you song http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/liste n/362352 (Indoctrinated) with an ending melody to accompany the wubs :P lol

well, that's the way I would to it lol

------

In all, this song reminds me of a dubstep version of Indoctrinated with piano - the lead + intensified subs :)

5/5
10/10
Fav once again

:D

Once a great producer
Always a great producer!

-----------

also, I wouldn't mind if you checked my track Oblivious Dream, it was kinda expirimental for me with the Wubs and a melody accompanied with it :o

dj-Nate responds:

Absolutely phenomenal review, thank you.

[Solus- Three Towers]

:D Nice!

Love the tone!
The timpani makes a cool addition to the song, and the tech-stuff in the background help go with the theme.

I like the melody too, it also goes well with the
Cool chord structure also, great for a menu song :D

Makes great remixes too ;)

[Well you see, son..]

Well...

All I'm sayin' is that you need more EXPOSURE

If you had a lot of it, you'd be very popular :)

now...

At the beginning of the song I thought it would another generic Newgrounds Song... Until the cutting vocals came in, and it sounded great!

I love the way you use vocals throughout the whole piece
It works out very well.
Also, I luv the way there are little gaps between the bass tone and some vocals giving that extra epic BAM in the song

Now for the drop
!
IT WAS GREAT
You remind me of skrillex but less repetitive and more BEAST MODE

The Dubstep synth was very well made too
Please PM about how you made the synth :) I would love to know!

But I think you should develop a better ending

I just got hit with minus points of how I didn't end a song very well
he said "It just stops. No transition at all, just stops like a knife sliced through it."

So, maybe add a filter to the Dubstep synth then fade to the main melody but played on the piano on the upper end

---------------

Now for mastering/mixing (whatever they call it nowadays)

On some parts I hear some minor distorting

Try to watch your levels, make sure they don't peak, like the high synth in the beginning. I think I heard it clip a little.

But in all, everything could be heard fine :)

----------------------

OVERALL!
9/10
5/5

Keep doing what your doing man!
Cause you do it GOOD

[{dj-N} [MD2010] Indoctrinated]

:), Lovin that lead!

Great work!

The lead synth is the best part I love this song :)

I love how it pierces through the other synths to bring out the melody

Well, I'm not sure if pierce is a good word to describe it, lol
I also like the drum work here

It sorta gives the listening a sense of the time signature changing but it doesn't really change
It stays in 3/4 timing all the way through, well, I think it's 3/4.

I really like the Synth Swells
It really gives Atmosphere the Piece in a whole
The complexity of the melody is great :)
Gives a nice Madness Feel to it IMO

and like Mr. Jazzman said, the ending needs work
Maybe add an "Exotic" ending like in Theory of Everything lol
How bout adding in the good old piano :D

9/10
5/5
fav

dj-Nate responds:

Haha thanks Jo! I love the detailed and awesome review man, thank you!

[xKore - UMAD? wip]

Very Nice work!

It's very good so far!
I like the little voice insert you had there during all the madness!

Very glitchy!

Just a suggestion
Maybe try to make the notes a little more clear
Like maybe mix the instrument for a clearer sound
or... I dunna how you do it lol
The whole song is very busy and SICK indeed

:)
Good Luck!

[touching the sky]

Nice!

I hear the hip-hop sense in it! Nice Drum samples

Interesting Dubstep synth, I lke it!

I also like how the piano continues on every beat.
The overall atmosphere is pretty chill, like this kind of style you have her :D
It gets a little repetitive, but its still great!

This is really different from usual dubstep, I like it

A Pretty solid piece overall

9/10
5/5
I like the chords you used! Sounds great!
:)

Review my latest song if you want!

superuberinsaneausm responds:

the reason why its so repetitive is that because my friend is gonna rap and im gonna sing over it so it needs structure . thanks for the review though glad you liked it!
