DjGubkafish's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ancient Walls]

Nothing to point out specifically but I would maybe through couple more notes with different instrument just to fill in the space . It drags on a little bit but not bad in general . Would work nice as cinematic music for calm background .

LawnReality responds:

Thank you. :) I'll be sure to remember your advice when I work on another track of this type.

[Classically Tranced Dubstep]

This track has a bit too much going on . Instead of being classic track with dubstep it feels like identity crisis .

You should try making it so every part of the track transitions from the other and retains a lair so it doesn't seem like different song every 30 seconds . For example when it plays dubstep you should classical background lair .

Keep it more consistent and focus on progression and smooth transitions .

Interesting concept but a bit of a mess .

Hyperion666 responds:

it is trance, dubstep and classical. not just classical n dubstep. it is meant to be chaotic, messy and mainly insane. what you are saying is just stating the obvious :). Not a lot of people will get it as quick as you, so I am guessing you are a musician of sorts as well. But this was the mood my mind is in, I do not make the music, my hands , my heart and the insanity my mind contains creates my music. I will never claim these are mine alone just a possesed collaboration of those 3 things.

Thank you for your comment and you have an awesome ear

[Alone Time]

Is it a song or you just playing bunch of jazz runs .

Its not bad but I would like to see you do a full composition with start,middle and end instead of just doing jazzy runs .

Its not really a song so I can't rate it . Don't take it the wrong way I like your music style but people should upload finished work .

[Saturday Night]

Kinda sounds like retro music during boss stages .

Instrument at 0:30 is a bit too vibrant I would prefer something sharp .

It a little bit irritating because all effects you used are too loud and unclear . Even with 8-bit like music you should strive for melody .

niorg2606 responds:

I guess you are right. I literally splashed everything with effects so it would make it sound like I wasn't just using the preset instruments that came with the program.

[Indigo Rain - Spotless Mind]

You did a good job on progression and mixing up the melody with stops and resets .

Although the instrument at 0:23 is probably the biggest problem for me . I like electronic sounds but its too distracting for here .

Personally I would prefer more mellow lead or just anything that doesn't create long razor effect .

Indigorain responds:

Yeah, I kinda got used to it after hearing it so much, that might be the problem. I've messed around with it a lot, but it's still a bit harsh comepared to the rest of the setting. But at some point I think I just went with it :P
But thanks for the kind words man, really appreciate it!

[The Burning Light That Never Fades]

For some reason reminds me one of the songs in need for speed hot pursuit (bass probably)

Overall I like it but it may be too leveled . Just if you could find a place to slow down and change melody because its a bit like listening to same thing for 3 minutes .

The way you ended the song I wish that was somewhere in middle and melody would reset itself .

[Abandoned Abused & ReBorn]

Being a Silent Hills fan I do appreciate good ambient music but this one is just a little over the top .

I like certain parts that feel spooky but then other just seem a bit ridiculous . I would use those loud noises in moderation because they add to atmosphere but also can be annoying .

SlaughterClub responds:

fair do's i appreciate your feedback m8

[Morning]

You have beat and melody . Most of the time you also want some constant pads in background using chrords so music sounds dynamic .

Overall I like it as platformer music . Just focus on adding lairs so it doesn't feel like there are blank spaces .

Veenomn responds:

Thank you for the review :)

[Not Alone V2]

To be completely honest I just don't find this song unique enough for me to enjoy . There are so many people playing guitars and doing rock songs that its starting to feel repetitive for me .

If you could do more ups and downs so song is not completely at top all the time . Make it so it has start,middle and ending (progression) It doesn't have to be single instrument .

Its just my opinion and I don't mean to discourage you .

[Pleasant Dreams]

I like that you didn't go over the top with it . It would work very nice as background music .

Nothing really to provide feedback really its a pretty nice little tune you have .

LawnReality responds:

Thanks! Glad you like it! :)
