Treysen's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dont be sad]

The organ didn't quite fit...

The beginning organ was a little high pitch, I would suggest dropping it down into the mid spectrum instead of high like that, then have it brought up again after the glass break.

Loved the piano mixed with the sequencing Sytrus. Sounded pretty awesome :) But that organ should probably become a different instrument at the 1:00 mark.

This might just be my extreme dislike of that sound though lol, so don't take it too much to heart.

Another thing is the glass break sounds really awesome and fits great in the genre, however it is really loud, maybe turn it down a little? Just saying :)

Very chill tune, great job :)

JkidProductions responds:

Thanks and yeah the organ didn't really fit, i know that and the glass break was pretty loud lol sorry about that i make my music with headphones lol

[-586rick- Echo of Light]

I think you should do it longer :)

At first the one synth that is really echo-ish got kind of annoying, but it faded into something better in time, just a warning about the echo ;)

1:00 was beautiful!

I like the beat, but I cant really make out the bass-line and kick all the time, which me being a nut for that kind of thing am of course going to ask for a stronger beat ;)

The melody was genius, very good musical composition and keeping everything in the right key and everything. (Lots of that seems to go fail these days with noobz)

((Looped it for like 10 minutes by the way lol, loving it))

This is definitely a great start!!

586rick responds:

haha lolll ok I didn>t know it was so good but I'll keep it in mind to do it longer and stronger. thanks for the review.

[Absense Attained]

The bomber needs a day job.

This was worth WAY more than 0.63 <.< Seriously.

Though for trance it was missing the nice kick drum to pump it through. And a bass line. Like I can kind of hear it, but it's drowned out by the more ambient sounds.

Great job though!

DigohD responds:

Yeah i see what you mean, I got a really awesome tip from DJDimension about side-chaining, been playing around with it for a while now and it's awesome.

Also if u think the song is under-rated please vote it up to a level you see fit :)

Thanks for the review!

[Electric Element]

Not a bad start :)

Something to try would be a stronger bass kick that has more oomph and is more steady, I think there is a lack of bass line too. Usually with this genre the bass is side chained with the 4/4 beat. And it normally works great :D (normally lol, I've heard some stinkers, and created a few)

I would also suggest toning down the lead a little, it's pretty high (I know its super hard to do, I always have trouble keeping the pitch from being a shrieker...)

The guy who bombed this before I got to it was just jealous :p There is someone going around bombing everything so just ignore the score you got and go with the reviews :)

Definitely liked this though! Lots of potential, and already better than what I can do lol. I especially like 3:00 and on, when the hat comes in it's really good :) Maybe adding a light clap or snare every other beat would help the beat sound more full too.

Great job!

faisalm1991 responds:

Thanks for the review, yes you're right about the bass line, I'll make sure to improve on my future songs.

[drak dcember]

Pokemon ice cave theme?

Or something to that effect ;) Great job! I like your author comment too :) lol
(what did you use to make this? I never heard these sounds before :O very original)

bryce responds:

thanks :) it's not pokemon, or final fantasy, its actually a melody from Ghidorah's dark december, i just sequenced it for fun in FL Studio, and messed with some sounds, i make all presets myself

[Mega Electron V2]

Excellent work :)

Loving the intro ;)

Would have liked to hear a stronger kick maybe, but that's the only real complaint I have :p aside from that the whole song as it is really is pretty good :D!

Great work!

lacifer responds:

Thanx!! ... I`ll try to do something with the kick... I`m currenlty relocating, and my speakers isn`t up yet, and mixing the `bottom` is a bit harder with only headphones.. ...even if I know them well ;)
I`ve done some new EQ`ing on the kick now (and on most hats) and played a little more with the ducking compression..

[> Contorted Reality <]

Wow :D

I am pretty sure you will get better if you keep working at it :D This is already really good!

The intro is really long, and most Newground listeners only have the attention span for 3 second intros, which is sad for Trance producers since the intros are beautiful and can run up to three minutes alone lol.

But anyway, great work! Suggestions, I could only really say add some percussion and a baseline :) That's all thats missing! seriously, good job!

thanks for the upload ;)

[Sakura Bana]

Great start :D

And your right, definitely a Japanese feel to it, oriental at the very least.

Tips: I would suggest a baseline, and since it's trance a nice side-chain baseline always works best. This is where you have a 4/4 kick going and every off beat is a bass note ((usually I would use 3xOsc with a low octave and saw inserts, assuming you use FL Studio of course lol)) The off beat would then be ((in the pattern selector)) every third hit.

that's really the only thing missing :) Well, maybe a nice string pad or something, but thats extra ;)

Great job :D!
