DjCompass's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[*- Revelation -*]

INTENSE

Totally awesome!!

My only complaint is that this is probably too long for its own good. Try 2 - 2 1/2 minutes instead of four next time.

Jebbal responds:

I thought about taking out the second half of the song since its pretty much the same as the beginning, but then it wouldn't let me upload any more new versions since it got 3,000 listens or whatever the limit is.

I might redo the whole song and submit that separately.

Thanks for the review!

[-=LJC=- untitled 0708 REMIX 1]

Cool

Very well constructed, generally fits together nicely. I loved the strings wherever they appeared. I definetly wasn't expecting the turn towards drum and bass, but it was a pleasant surprise. It seems just a little bit empty, like it could use something to fill in the space. I think i faintly hear a synth or string or something in the background, but i might be crazy. If i'm not, then bring it out. Well done, generally well rounded, but a little bit hollow. Keeping in mind it could be my speakers....

LJCoffee responds:

Thanks for the comments. I suppose I could add an ambient pad or two to fill it out a bit. There was a reese and a sub in there but I opted to remove those before I uploaded. The reese was a bit too much but maybe sticking the sub back in might help as well.

Again - thanks!

V Review is down there V

The drum beat came out on top of the melody, and kindof drowned it out. Consider turning the volume on the drums down, or the volume on the synths up. The third synth that i heard sounded largely out of place.

3/5
8/10
*cough look at my stuff too please cough*

carl565 responds:

it was my first project that ive ever done (yes i have alot more!) so i didnt have alot of experience with fl studio. ill make a remake of it.

[[ f ] Beat Down]

Cool

- Nice drum beats.
- Great intro
- Started to get a tad repetitive after about a minute

This sort of music isn't my expertise, so i'm afraid i can't offer much more critisism than that. Cool song, but maybe a bit too long for its own good. Well done.

flashmac responds:

yeah, I get what you mean. It's supposed to be a rapping track. I guess it could've only been one verse but oh well. Glad you liked it man =D

[Forest Lullaby]

Nice.

Reminds me of Etrian Oddesey.

[~Piano Improvisation #4~]

Just read the review!! Garsh!!

-This improve ran out of steam after about a minute. After that it just sortof sank to the back of my mind.
-The bassline got rather annoying after a while, as it seemed to just be octaves playing the same descending pattern for the entire song.
-The quality itself wasn't very good, but that's hardly your fault. Look into getting a keyboard that you can plug into the computer if you plan to keep doing these improvs. It would improve the general enjoyability a lot if the sound was better.
-There seemed to be parts where you were hugging the chords too much, but there were definetly tons of places where you seemed to be doing everything but hugging to chords, so kudos.

Consider looking into other keys than C Minor. As awesome as C Minor is (I love it too, it's just such a great key...) you should try the other ones too. Give F Minor a try too, I rather like it.

Keep it up. This is a great improv, better than i can manage (so far...) and it reeks of potential. Now i'm going to go check out your other stuff. Best of luck.

Los-Illuminados responds:

yeah well my 2 most (and basically only used) keys are c minor and a minor. ive fiddled around with d minor so im getting around to that one

thx for the feed back and ill look into this next time! ^.^

[Subliminal Pitch]

Lets see...

I'll admit, that was a pretty awesome sound, but (an no offense is intented) come on, do us all a favor, we want real music! Not just one strange sound!! At least list it as a misc. loop next time you have the bright idea of showing the world this sort of experiment.
Or better still, stick to making music.
Thank you.

Laikros responds:

T'was only an experiment. Don't worry, music is still in my head.

[<{aisha girl}>]

Congrats

Ahh yes, dedicated music. It honestly doesn't even matter if this stuff is good, the dedication always loves it. Very nice.

PS: Porn groove wouldn't have occured to me if you hadn't brought it up. I was just thinking it had i nice oriental sound until i read your comments XD

[(dj Martcore) Engage The Noise]

*is stomping feet*

I bow down to your superiority. This is pretty awesome, but not exactly my cup of tea. More of an ambient guy myself...
You still get all ten stars.
