Dj-GloStix's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Gravitas]

Okay, I'll be the first comment then.

Kay, the intro is quite long, it gets boring.. but is nice, has a nice pad (reminds me of Fable II intro music, actually, sounds like the exact same notes.)
The BooBass sounds REALLY out of place. almost sharp in pitch..
Hi hat needs some reverb
I'm liking the beginning melody
The key change could be better more smoother..
Tempo change was refreshing.
The Snare needs to have a limiter
Try using a multiband compressor and a fruity limiter on your master channel because everything is 'distorting' needs a compressor badly.
You should almost never have just 1 synth playing by itself, have something helping it along. (drums don't exactly count in this context)
Don't forget balance.. Your melody is being drowned out by a counter melody...in the second verse
automation is key!
Work on your middle melody, you sorta change key mid melody, sound out of place...
Outro is nice but could use a little more pizaz

Keep at it!!
I listened to the ENTIRE song just as I would want people to do to mine..
Check out my stuff if you have time
latest is undying remorse
Ciao

Alturos responds:

Best feedback I've ever seen on here. I'll definitely address these issues, Thanks a ton!
(For the record, never played Fable 2 >.<)

[Daps to ur naps (THWLI2.0)]

Please.

Please tell me where you got the vocal samples for this.. I'd need them for my song.

[[Sooth]]

Eh.

Sounds like an attempt of one of those one hit wonder catchy melodies.
But unfortunately for you that melody has already been taken by another song.

Some original stuff would be nice.

[.:Sleepless Nights v2:.]

Not bad.

To be honest, if you don't have lyrics in your music. It has to change every 4 bars at least. Something- anything.
When I listened to this song I lost concentration at about 1:38, I had to then force myself not to skip through.

I'm not trying to be mean, but you HAVE to take that into consideration.
Piano solo at the end was pretty nice.
Needed a bit of a string melody going on there.
Got too repetitive
Anyways, I know you didn't have good drum samples so I'm not going to bother about that but take the other stuff into consideration.

Check out my stuff.

GronmonSE responds:

I see where you're coming from. IMO, the song's main variation comes after 2:11, guess it keeps you waiting too long.

Thanks for the input, I like serious crit, so don't worry about sounding mean or anything. I'll check out your stuff in a sec.

[Beware; The Muffin]

Dude.

When I heard this on the Tankmen, I had to hear the song.
So, now that I've found it.
I'm officially making a Techno version of this..
I'll link you up when it's done.

[Dj Miele - Stepmania]

Unse unse unse unse

5 for joo!
In before the down voters that are jealous because your song is higher than theirs!!

[~Inspiration~ -hania]

Nice! :)

There's some balancing issues in the first verse. Your voice should be a bit more projected and a tad more dominant than the piano. Have power with your voice, as it builds up, show the grit in your voice. Nice harmonies. Like the octaves.
1:17 build up your voice. Changing the key isn't enough. It sounds like the previous verse. Make it more distinct. 2:17 Vibrato please. would be a nice touch. Drum synths could use some work.

I'm no singing expert but It's just some advise.
I'm very pleased that there is an actual GOOD song on 1st of all song.

Will be waiting for more.

[PEAR]

AHhhhhhh

You hear that?
I call that refreshing..
Haven't heard a awesome song on the aido portal in a long time!
The top 50 is always filled with garbage.
Kinda like mainstream music.

thanks man :)

[*Blind*]

Nice!

This is better than anything on the top Audio Portal songs.
Synths needs some work but that takes seconds.

Keep it up.
