[The Night Sun ~Blakren~]

My 400th Audio Review!

I like your synth melody near the middle, but it needs a little diversity. Your kick beat gets a little boring after a while, but that goes with any 4-to-the-floor beat. I'd like to know what synth/plug-in you used for that sound.

Keep it up!

Check me out sometime man!

Blakren responds:

Thanks for the tips! This is my third song by the way. Yeah, I only use 3x osc for my main synths and bass. Yeah, the bass kick does stand out quite a bit, so if I use the same one I'll spice it up a bit. I'm quite happy I started composing at a young age though (Teen.) Congratz on ur 400th audio review! I'm flattered you chose my song to be it. Thanks again Man! And I will check out ur work. It should be good!

How ya doin???

Hello there Rawrthaas!
The beat is amazing. Such energy! And your little breakdowns kick my ass.
Loving the melodies in here! I don't expect any less from you.

Oh man, the screaming melody that fades in near the end is the icing on the cake!
I love the little beat glitches. Your piano melodies are fantastic. Such a great song!

Damn... I need to step up my game! haha.

rabbitz!!

[Wrecked By Deja Vu (A->N)]

Ha!

Loving the instrumentation again!
You guys should really look into doing some down tempo / chillout mixes.
You've got all the right melodies, the talent, and the instruments.
Again I feel that the 4-to-the-floor beat doesn't do this any justice!

Check out the drums on Rob Dougan's "Clubbed To Death"
or "A Beautiful Mine" by RJD2, maybe try using a realistic drum kit?
(look it up on youtube)

I can totally see this soaring out of newgrounds into a movie.

Keep up the good work guys! Maybe come check me out sometime.

ApproachingNirvana responds:

Yea, I definitely hear you on the 4-on-the-floor kick. We're starting to branch out from these two genre clashes to other stuff. I guess you could say that we're (attempting to) stretch our creative wings. We'll definitely check out your profile when we get the chance man.

as for the realistic drum kit, we've got a drummer lined up if funds permit us to do so, but that's a ways down the road. A different drum kit was definitely an option, but I think we just loved how it sounded as is.

Hopefully we'll get picked up for something like that, but who knows. We'll see what happens.

Thanks again!!

[The Heist (A->N)]

Great!

I absolutely love your strings in the piece.
The synths are well done.
It definitely has an action movie soundtrack vibe to it.

I only wish that you had kept with the beat from the beginning instead of going to the generic 4 kick beat.

Incredible builds, effects, instruments, and feel.
Keep it up guys!

ApproachingNirvana responds:

Thanks for the review! I hear ya on the beat. the 4-on-the-floor beat is definitely overused. I think the reason we went with that is because it's almost unparalleled when it comes to amping the energy of the song. But I definitely see where you're coming from.

Thanks again for the comments!

[Collab anyone?]

Whoa ho hoho!

I really like the main melody in this song! Has a really nice feel to it.

Then it gets cut offfff!!!! C'mon man....

Hope to hear the final version of this.

Keep it up man!

DjSc00p responds:

I cant continue, i said in the comment box that this was far from done and that the sound gets really shitty. I had to pause every 2 seconds just to make this 38 seconds clear...Thats why i want to collab with someone who can fix it or have someone teach me. This will never be finished until i learn or get a partner lol, so sorry if it never gets finished. But thats why it got cut off and stuff. Thanks for the review tho :]

[(First) Techno Song - DnB]

3rd song????

You've gotten this down pretty quickly then huh?

You're doing a pretty decent job so far man, honestly.
Simple yet effective beat.
The melody is okay. Just a few notes that bother me.

One way for you to sound a little better other than working on your skills is to get better sounds. I've spent hours trying to find good sounds to use. It's definitely worth the time spent.

Good work on your first submission. I'd hope to hear back from you. Keep it up, I'm sure I'll be hearing more from you.

Squll2 responds:

Thanks for the review! Ill get to work on finding some good synths and drum sets to get a more perfected sound (=

[_-={A Dark Cut}=-_]

Maestro!

I absolutely love your use of imagery. The sharp high pitched stabs... The low empowering horns... The snares...

These all make me think of..
stabs = cutting
horns = a power over somebody
snares = sweat dripping...

Definitely a feast for my mind.

Keep it up man!

MaestroRage responds:

Hey Paul! It has been a while! How have you been?! Thanks for dropping by :D!

Your imagery is remarkably close to what I was thinking, though the horns idea being power over somebody is new D:! Interesting to say the least.

Thanks for that, and the review, i'm glad you liked it!

HARD ARHAAHHH!

I really like the beat with the guitar at around 00:22. If you had a more realistic drum kit it would rock out so hard.

Don't stop making music.
