DarkBlueFX's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[- Trinket -]

You should try delving into your percussion a little more here. Also, the saw that comes in at around 18 seconds in comes in a little abruptly. You could just be basic and have it come in via a low pass filter, or maybe something else would work. I think everything else is great, but if you had some solid, dynamic percussion throughout this song, I think this would really kick ass. Hell, if you could send me this without the percussion, I'd love to send you back my take on the drums in this.

Be4tyMu5ic responds:

Thanks for reviewing! I know that saw comes out abruptly but when I tried with filters I didn't like much the results... And for the percussions me too I think they should be more solid...Unfortunately idk how I could separate the drums from the other tracks (i'm noob xD) but thanks by the way xD!

[- Data Transfer -]

Just curious, was the bassline beginning inspired by "Blast Processing" in Geometry Dash? I'm pretty satisfied with this track, I would like to hear some changes on you initial idea later in the song in order to avoid being repetitive. Then again, repetition seems to be pretty common among dance music. Also, I can hear that you are using the presets in "Gross Beat". Although they work well here, try to avoid using too many of them. Gross beat is also pretty cool to use separately on bass tracks or percussion as opposed to just throwing it on the master track. Keep it up man!

Be4tyMu5ic responds:

Hi! Thanks for reviewing! Well I realized after finishing the song that those basses were similar to blast processing's ones (and in some ways Hexagon Force's ones too).Btw I'm working right now on a Remake of the song and it's coming out well! So it'll be less repetitive and so. About GB the fact is... I like it too much! If I could i would put it everywhere xD Thanks again!

[Doghouse project Part 4]

Funky as fuck. I love the guitar in this and everything is mastered very well. I definitely get the dance vibe from this so you nailed the genre you were going for. I actually don't really have any suggestions for this, you clearly know what you're doing so just keep making more!

[-NeuroFunk-]

Wow, I actually really like this. You nailed the genre and we clearly feel differently about the drums in the beginning, I think they're pretty awesome. What did you use to make this?

[L-55 - Factory of Memories]

That was your voice!! HAHA that's awesome! You should totally record your self multiple times in different locations of a room and try to make a choir of yourself to get that EPIC choir Jo-B is talking about like right in the middle of the song.

L-55 responds:

:), im happy because you liked a remix of my voice, my voice is really deep, incredibly deep. Me and Skrillex made a beatifull remix of my voice for starting. :)

[NK217 - Prot0tron [bass boost]]

I can dig this. I love that grungey feel to the song with the DnB-ish percussion. It gets kinda weird to me, but after listening it to a few times I started getting used to it. As I kept listening to it though, I think your biggest strength is your percussion, I fucking love that shit! Keep it up man!

nitrokill217 responds:

Thanks, still finding ways to improve this but you can tell the small differences between this and the normal version.

[L-55 - RadioActivated]

I feel like I've only lived a HALF-LIFE, until I heard this song... do you see what I did there!

I think you actually fit your genre pretty well here. The ambient sounds were tasteful and I really liked the piano, but at like 2 minutes in it cuts out abruptly without a release, was this on purpose? Btw, I noticed that your song cuts off abruptly, is there more to this song or did it just not render all the way to the end? Your song flows well pretty well and I like your percussion, I think you should do some more with the powerchord to make it fit in a little better, that's the only thing that throws me off. Still, it's good song man, keep it up!

[-Krewella - Come And Get It [Mix]-]

Okay you straight up just sped up the song and posted it. Come on dude.

NopeSt3p responds:

I also put in some more bass lines and more dubstep into it :)

[-Tobu & Itro - Cloud 9 [Mix]-]

You know what you did. Although you did add some sounds it seems, (including the windows error message sound, which coincidentally could fit the song pretty well if you mastered and re-tuned it.) you cant just reuse entire measures. Also, you have to set the licensing as a remix of third party work, but that's still seriously pushing it in this case. Put in some work and make something original.

NopeSt3p responds:

Will do in the future :)

[Mathematical Messiah - God Is A Butt]

This is very weird, like... cool weird, and very dark. It felt odd to listen to at first, but I wanted to listen to again after it was over. On my second listen I could definitely make more sense of the sounds I was hearing. You're an odd one, stay that way. One thing that I would find pretty cool is if you transitioned from your atonal sounds and worked your way to a harmonious tone all in one song.

MathematicalMessiah responds:

I had no idea what I was doing.

I just wanted to make a song for this project.

The distortion represents ignorance and skepticism.

The melody represents innovation and hope.

The length of the video being 4:02 is because of this:
