"Great, a few problems though"

submission: {Timebomb} Preview
date: February 1, 2007

I must say, I really loved this song. I have a few discrepencies though.

First off, the opening was hard to understand. It really worked well with the song, but it could've been a little clearer.

Next, the strings. They were fantastic sounding, and were finally a change from your usual. Though they were as delicious as they were, they melody didn't really seem to mix well with the song.

Now my last issue, you seem to be reusing sounds a lot in your songs. I don't mean to sound rude, but get some new samples. Yes they sound great, but after hearing them in near all of your songs, it's annoying.

Hopefully the final will be better. 5/5

Darren Styles-Skydivin' Remix

"Sorry about before"

date: January 31, 2007

I was ignoring peoples links. I had been working on an Ambient song. No, I didn't downvote you. Sorry about that. :\

Anyways, the song shows awesome in it. The only thing, too short and repatative. You should've made the center a little longer so it wouldn't have seem so repatative. You also could've changed up the melody a little instead of just adding more layers. I know you have a lot of skills, but you don't use all of them in one song. Try to combine everything you've done in all your songs and make something with it. I think you would be able to do a fantastic job that way.

5/5

Flashburn - The Adjudication

"Amazing"

date: January 27, 2007

It's been quite a while since we've heard from you. This is quite a piece to come back with, if you are gonna come back. Very nice, soothing, classical style ambient piece you got here. I love the mesh of everything. The way you set it up makes it work nicely as a loop. Love it all the way.

5/5

"Very elegant"

submission: Contemplation.
date: January 21, 2007

This was one hell of a beautiful Ambient DNB track you've made. It's got nice background effects and the drums fit perfectly. Definetely one of the best DNB tracks I have ever heard.

5/5

Come check my Tetris remix out if you get a chance.

Draze - Bass It Up [V2]

"Hey There"

date: January 18, 2007

Hey Draze. You probably don't know who I am, but I'm a big fan of yours. I really liked the original version of this song a lot, and this version just made it 10 times better. It's a really good song. Not much to say, but you sure enjoyed using panning in this song, maybe too much. Though it worked most of the time, there were parts where they would have been better off without panning.

Also, a quick question: What program do you use?

5/5

~ DSM

If you ever get a chance, please come check out one(or ten ;)) of my songs. :P

"OMG"

submission: -Imm- Hysteria

This song is amazing! You really shouldn't leave Newgrounds. You are a great audio artist. If what you said earlier about the filesize of your songs being true, then just try using a lower bitrate or VBR to have different bit rates at different parts. If you already tried that though, then I guess you may be out of luck with those. :(

Anyways, about the piece. The only problem I had was the lead was sort of stinging. It could've been lowered in volume a little. That could just be my headphones though. This piece is really epic and I hope this gets song of the week. :)

~ DSM

Author's Response:

about the bitrate thing. I've tried doing it and I don't know how to do it. A couple people have said I will teach you how to do it and never did, and then their are a few people that just lowered it themselves after I sent them the song.

Thanks for reviewing though. Although I wouldn't be leaving for good, just not submitting. I'd still review songs and go to the forums.

It's funny how many people come out and say that they love my music, when I barely got reviews from them. I'm not trying to start something, just mentioning that it's good to know I have fans still.

:)

-={CC}=- Introduction

"Meh"

date: December 29, 2006

This has potential it does, but there are so many missing components and what not.

1) Bass = bad. You need something with a little more pump.
2) Lead = bad. You have an interesting lead melody, but the synth of choice was bad. You should fix that.
3) Kicks = weak. You really need to pump up those kicks more.
4) Too short and ends to quickly. Make it longer.

With all that in mind, you might be able to make something good.

4/5

~ DSM

Author's Response:

Thank you DSMagnum for your review, and tips, we'll be sure to follow tips from such an established artist as yourself

We realise the bass wasn't pumping and neither were the kicks.

They were intentional.

The lead? there was a lead?

Short? Yes, it is. Again intentional, normally things that are short, tend to end quickly, hence it being "short"
And again, as was intended.

We might be able to make something good?

Well in all honesty, this track was our first submission, there's currently another submission on the page, dated 2 days later. it's bass and kicks are both thumping, as was intended

Thank you again DSMagnum, your constructive critique is welcome

Between Dreams and Nightmares

"Whoo!"

date: December 29, 2006

This song is really cool. It makes me wanna headbang, which I find painful so I don't do that much. The only thing I didn't like is that it sounded distant. It's not too much of a problem though. Good job.

5/5

~ DSM

Author's Response:

HAHA headbang away! I agree with it sounding distant, my mixing just needs some work. Thanks for the review! Glad you liked it! =D

"Twas interesting"

submission: Oxygen
date: December 29, 2006

The song was really cool except for one thing: it was bland. You could've done something with the lead to have made it a little more full, and the bass could've been darker. It has a great concept, but was weak at points.
