DarkBlueFX's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Caffeine]

You are pretty underrated, this is good stuff. Love the edgy leads and I like the volume gating at 1:29. Using filters on noise is a tried and true method for breaks, and you used it well as transitional sounds.

DevinChin responds:

Thanks man! Glad you like it

[~Distant Dream~]

All of your instruments fit together well, I like the transitional pad in the intro and the lead afterwards. You know someone's legit when they can utilize the pitch bends well. I have nothing to suggest really, just keep makin shit.

[Life]

Effing beautiful! I love your transitional elements, use of vibrato in chords, and the 'deadmau5-y' leads in the intro, which you still managed to make your own style at the chorus. I love that every section is unique and offers a new sound, as opposed to repeating patterns. The piano at 4:15 was also well done with tasteful accents and sounds dynamic. The title fits very well with the feel of this song (and with the kicks) and I'm really glad I came across your music!

Cursedsnake responds:

:D ew thanks! I really appreciate such effing long comments <3

[Circuit Bored - Earake]

Wow, that intro was weird as hell. WHICH IS AWESOME! I'm likin the slap bass too and the reverb on the percussion. At the transition at 2:12, I think you should have some transitional element there, whether it be a noise ramp or a crash. Maybe one leading into the transition to give the impression of a 'false-drop' or just a crash out into the next part, or both. This song makes me think of a desert cave kinda. One thing I absolutely love is your methodology, it seems very 'daft-punk' like for you to utilize real recorded elements the way you do with an electronic spin on it. Keep that shit up.

BoredMusic responds:

Awesome! I don't know why, but now i totally hear a desert cave. I love the idea of actually using a rise noise ramp, more for a transition rather than just a bigger drop. good idea.

[BurgeraX: Elucidator [Dubstep]]

Love the intro piano, but when the lead comes in at 42s, it sounds kind of atonal (maybe it's just me), make sure you stay in your key with all of you instruments. And the bwaaah chords are very cool sounds, but it sounds like there are some notes in there that are out of key too (once again, maybe just me). I do like the generators you've employed here though, and your percussion is good!

EruptionMusic responds:

Thanks, all the instruments are in key idk what it is. but yea took a while to get those chords down. I guess its the pitch

[Circuit Bored - A Walk in the Park (Free HQ download link)]

I love how you made the 'swoop' effect, and still made it fit with you percussion well. I heard the water droplet, and it went well with the feel of this song. The chill vibe from the harp and the guitar was executed well too especially with the 'spanish strumming' at 2:54.

This deserves more reviews, you got skills.

BoredMusic responds:

Thanks, that is really kind of you to say.

[TWOFACE]

I really like your percussion in this, and the trance-y sections are really pretty. You have some good transitions in here and I actually like the intro, you worked some interesting sounds into your percussion.

Helth responds:

thanks man! yeah i tried some different controversial percussion sounds and transisitions in this one. thanks for your review! <3
