DjGubkafish's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sunlit Thunderscapes]

I love the ambiance of it . Its wird how you managed to make a melody ouf of unmelodic pattern . Great work

[Solidified Jupiter]

It has a little bit of Nintendo vibe . Personally not my style of music but it has that video game quality which i often hear inside arcade and platforming games .

TwelfthChromatic responds:

Yeah, I've found it does have a Nintendo vibe to it. Personally, I love Nintendo music; it has a very unique vibe to it, but I like it :) Anyway, thank you for your feedback :)

[Let's Escape]

As a trance composer myself i know how difficult it can be to find proper vst to make trance music .

Try T-Force Alpha or Firebird .

I can hear some decent mood swings but they are clustered with excess noises from crapy vsts

ZxOOxZ responds:

haha i was experimenting with Molekular by native instrument a lot in this one thats prob it ill pay attention to that next time!

[SubSide]

I was waiting for 5 minutes for this track to build into transition and it never happened .

Id like to see more variations in rhythm and more sound swings

[Experience]

well i feel that you decided to ignore all the rules of making music . I know you can make it properly so i am a little confused of what you trying to learn from this

0.00-0.40 its a same loop with 2 chords . Its repetitive rather than innovative

Transitions are usually what makes or breaks the song and you also ignored those completely .

I would suggest to create new combinations of sound rather than trying to be radical because it will probably come across as unprofessional

bdog705 responds:

i was using FL studio and im not the best but I've gotten better and I've already made much better songs then this I just haven't posted them yet I figured it would sound terrible but I definitely have been improving

[One Way Street (feat. RomyHarm]

Downbeat works pretty well here . I wish you would transition into guitar or something though because it got a bit too long .

Overall pretty relaxing so i think you did a good job

[Inspired By The Light]

it almost feels like mix between trance and dubstep which is what i like to see . I am glad that you don't use 2 step beat pattern for everything like some people .

Overall nice mix of genres . Even some ambient parts there

bdog705 responds:

thanks! dubstep isn't my favorite genre of music, I agree its almost as if no effort is put into it if there's 2 steps or even 3 it all depends I guess also I always try and throw in a bit of ambience into a song as much as I can really mainly because I've always enjoyed ambient music and some of my best songs are ambient, thanks for the review!

[Avalanche]

i dig it .

It is a little painful to the ears because of excess razor noises so just watch which vsts you using .

Cacola responds:

Glad you like it!
I'll be more careful with my choice of synths from now on.

[Desert Sandstorm]

pretty spooky . I just wish you didn't use strings at 0:40 because i just see it more as ambient track for horror game .

LunacyEcho responds:

Ooh, that's a pretty interesting interpretation. I never saw it that way, but I can see how you might think that. I think I added strings because in my mind, the melody wasn't spooky, it was exotic, and strings were how I felt would be express that. But an ambient horror track does make sense too! Thanks for listening!

[Drop Point]

Even if you going for ambient feel you need more patterns . It felt like you were trying to carry 20 second melody for 5 minutes .

Just add another verse to piano lead and will be golden .

OBIZ responds:

I agree, I made it in Live so I wasn't paying attention to the chrono.
I'll try to make more "built song" than "live play"
