DetiousMusic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Raise Your Weapon (Remix)]

I really like your approach to this. The only thing I can sprinkle on the cake that the others didn't state is why the vocals are overdone. It's just because they're too loud, too much reverb. If you toned it down some, brought those drums to life and sidechain compress a little more it would blend a lot more smoothly. Not that it doesn't already, just..better. (:
Also if you ever do try dubstep in the future look for those punchy kicks and snares, stay away from 303 and 808 kicks and such. d:

[In The End]

Woah, semme3d quite fast for a trance song. What's the BPM at? o:
I like the arpeggio in the beginning, I think the second synth has too much reverb. Or maybe I'm just weird. d:
Hmm, in my taste I think the hi hats are too fast, what are they at now 1/16 triplets? I'd try 1/8 instead. It's still really nice though. I love the effects and the melody. Good job. What program do you use? d:

BuggMusic responds:

Um, it's a pretty standard speed for Trance, like 142BPM..

There were like three different hihat patterns, so they all had different rhythmic structures.

[Sky High (Medic Remix)]

This has insane potential.
If you gave your kick and snare more punch, and took some grimeyness out out that bassline, or integrated other basses it could be a heavy track. Right now it feels like it's lacking variety and umph.
But everything else is wonderful. The 70's feel, the instruments and synths. One day you should revisit this song because I can feel this song could be a big track, :D

[What Do U Want]

I really enjoyed the bassline portion of this, but I personally think it'd be better to exclude the rapping, but the female vocals are really nice, i would make them louder.

Poniiboi responds:

I just think u need 2 get laid, cuz the girl IS rapping. LOL.

[The Search For Life]

Digging that melody, that synth, and I LOOOOVE how you increased its tempo so smoothly.
It was absolutely wonderful. (: Do you use massive for your synths?
To me the kick was too..fruity? Wet? Punchy?
I can't explain it. But it does sound better when it's layered with the snap.
:D
10/10

[Echo]

Love the beginning, that synth is very deadmau5-y. I love it. I don't favor how you introduced the top drums so abruptly around 25 seconds and how quickly they were covered up after the synths cutoff increased. I would add some more effects, or repeat the ones you used in the beginning, or a white noise sweep because it just seems too bland. I think the lead synth is clipping because of the kick, so I would sidechain compress it some more. (: I think it's a very nice song, but it could use some more variety. Pizzaz. Spiceyness. Catch my drift? d:
4/5 9/10 <3
(I rated a 5 though)

[Party Rock Anthem Remix]

The beginning was nice, but the bassline you used was pretty bad. I'm not being mean, it just lacks so much. d: It was just too distorted and gritty. I think everything besides the bassline was okay. (:

skylukewalker99 responds:

Okay, thanks for the feedback. I'm still learning and will be sure to fix the bass drop, as I also felt it was lacking. Please check out my other stuff as well!

[Ring Around The Sun]

To me it sounds quite generic and I think it's lacking fullness. Maybe add some reverb and some delay.
It'd make this sound much better.

Also I would just use a tom drum to replace an actual kick, it's different but I don't think it's necessary. (: Don't be discouraged, I'm just giving feedback. I'm not ripping on it.

Chongo responds:

Hey, any feedback is appreciated, man! I'll keep that in mind in future pieces :)

[KrazR - Deathmatch]

Baha, I think I have that snare. But wow. Those synths are quite nice, not to mention the melody.
The drop was pretty nice as well. That bassline is pretty sick too. I'm just pointing out all the good things because I can't find anything bad. lololol
Good job, keep it up! :D

Bones341 responds:

If the snare was a free download, chances are you do have it too! Glad you like it man, there will be plenty more coming soon! :)
