[-Teleria-]

Good song.

I don't hear a lot of good video game artists nowadays on newgrounds. Well what do you know, I just found one.

The structure of the song is very good, instruments came and left when they needed to. The melodies are fantastic, and the piano was a very nice touch to the song.

In my opinion, I think you could have took off the delay on the piano. It sounded too cheesy to me. The ending was also a bit unsatisfying. Make it longer, please. :)

Overall, I really enjoyed this song. I am adding this to my favorites. Let me know when you release another one!

Could you review back on my song? I would like to hear what a melodic person thinks of it.

ChronoNomad responds:

Thanks for the review, and I apparently need all the help I can get to combat those ridiculously vicious zero bombers! Nothing new there, I guess...

If I do another remake of this song (this is actually the 2nd to date), I will certainly let you know. I agree that the piano delay sounds a bit off, maybe because it's too loud, not timed quite right, or it's simply unnecessary. A remake would definitely see a change there in some way.

I personally like the ending, but since I always change songs that I remake - sometimes subtly, sometimes not so much - I'm sure that the ending would change, as well. I like being different, but maybe it's too different to really be appreciated. Like most things, only time will tell.

[breakbeat for trance]

Really nice.

This song was calming and chill. It has cool melodies and a nice chord progression.

However, I do think that the sidechain for the pad is unnecessary. When you are making breakbeat like this, there is no need to duck the pad. Also, the percussion glitches a bit when the hihats are played. Take a look at the volume levels next time.

Overall, nice tune. Keep at it.

Could you review back on my song? Criticism is appreciated.

heey thanks allot for the review :D

[Haywyre&Ephyks - Incorrigible]

Great potential.

You got the house spirit Ephyks. Smooth transitions and sick pluck lines. I have a couple negative points though.

The main pluck overpowers everything else when it plays. The bass does the same thing so I can't tell what is the main important instrument in the song. When both of them play, I can not hear the percussion anymore. Make sure you level the volume of each instrument and the frequencies properly. I also think that the percussion could use some more hihat rhythms or loops. It was a tad too dull.

That is pretty much it. Keep this up and you will become a very good artist.

DLBeezy responds:

Thanks for the review mate.

[May]

Well nice.

Real smooth track Chris. The 303 acid synth fits perfectly with this song. Everything else is so simple, but not repetitive at the same time.

I guess my only critique is that the intro is too short. I would also have more of a progressive arrangement to fit the lyrics. That is just in my opinion though, I do not know how it will sound in the end.

I really got nothing else to say. This song is good for what it is. If you don't mind, I would like to collab some time. Perhaps you could do the lyrics while I write a progressive Trance song? Let me know what you think.

Keep up the good music. Could you review back on my song? Criticism is appreciated.

giovanni808 responds:

Thanks for the review :) I have now tried to make the intro longer. I gave your song a review (I suck at making critics though :()

[DarkLight (Omega)]

Interesting style.

This song sounds like a mix between industrial and dubstep. Very cool stuff.

I do have a couple pointers though. The snare hit at 0:35 is a bit too loud. The build up could be bigger at the 2 minute mark. I would also like to hear more highs in the mix. It sounds like it is heavily based on the bass. If you have it that way all the time, the song becomes cluttered. Keep that in mind for your next song.

Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed it. You have your own unique style. Keep up the good music. Let me know when you make more.

Omega-Ravager responds:

Thanks, glad you like my style and I'll take your advice in consideration for my next one! I like mixing multiple styles together and I think the Industrial/dub is my favorite I've done so far!

Thanks for reviewing and I'll give your song a listen!

[DJ Pantheris - Storm Warning]

Warning.

I can feel that warning. The beat you made sounds like it will be played on the storm warning channels.

Things I would change is the clarity of the mix and a better intro. I think a build up would do good instead of a bassline playing for 20 seconds for the intro. Perhaps an alarm FX could fit nicely. For the mix, lower the bass just a tad. It muffles with the percussion at times.

Overall, you did a good job. Could you review back on my song? Criticism is appreciated.

Wilde

mushu55t responds:

Thank you for your constructive criticism. Reviews like this are very much appreciated. :D

The alarm FX was what I was trying to simulate in the beginning.

I could possibly revamp this mix later if you can PM me with where I can find the actual alarm FX.

And, with my setup, which pretty much is a small studio in and of itself, I can hear every detail of the music. Try switching to a good headset or better speakers.

I have a stereo hooked up to my PC, and have no small speakers, so I don't know how it sounds on PC speakers.

[Starlight: 2nd Ascension]

Good melodies.

After listening to TeHLoy's remix of this song, I decided to have a listen to this one. As far as I can tell, his is better, but only for a couple reasons.

Your mix is very ear-piercing. Lower the highs and level out the percussion. The synth at the beginning that played on the off beat got really annoying. I would have put it in the background and added some kind of arpeggio lead line in the front. Last thing I would add is some pads. Trance songs tend to be dull without them.

Keep it up Balderdact. Could you review back on my song? Criticism is appreciated.

Wilde

balderdact responds:

thanks for the review
but actually tehloy remixed my other ascension song; not this one xDDD

[TL - Ascension [cover][trance]]

Nice remix.

The sounds all fit together. Nothing seems to over power anything. I don't usually find a lot of clean mixes on newgrounds. :)

If you were to work on this song more, I would make the bass stronger. Not necessarily louder, but raise the low EQ on it. You already have enough highs in this song.

Keep up the good work. This is a sick melody, so I will definitely listen to Balderdact's songs. Could you review back on my song? Criticism is appreciated.

Wilde

TeHLoY responds:

I don't know... the kick drum is already so bassy, I'm afraid that increasing the bass of the bass (unintentional pun) would make it interfere with the kicks.

Sure, I'll check out your songs when I have the time...

[String Quartet No.1 Mvmt 1]

Make it more minimalistic.

Right now it is just a regular string quartet. If you want it to be minimal, just have one pattern playing for about 8 bars and then add new ones, or change its line ever so slightly. Keep the patterns going for a long time.

That is all I have to say for now, as I am not really a Classical critique. Keep up the good work. Could you review back on my song? Criticism is appreciated.

Wilde

Slaytesics responds:

There are only 4 patterns the entire piece. Minimalism is based upon repetition, and I repeat them, just not constantly. :)

You like Glass alot, don'tcha?
