DjGubkafish's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[New Dawn]

It gave me some Resident evil vibe at start which i really liked .

I almost wish this was 100% ambient music so i could just enjoy pads .

I think drums didn't really complement the melody and overall kind of ruined it for me .

DESHIEL responds:

Yeah sorry for that.

[[SM 321] - Another Walk]

I can almost hear some japanese girl singing some cheesy lyrics .

You know what . I think its better without the lyrics XD

Honestly i think the melody is generic a bit but its a good quality track

MidnightSugar responds:

Japanese girl singing? LOL
Maybe you are watching too much anime (or maybe I am), anyways
thanks for the positive review.

I will take note, that the melody was generic and try to change it up a
bit next time.

[Twitch vs red]

This is what i call sub genre of Electric music called "jungle" where consitency is not required however it was not well executed .

I can tell theres a uniqe melod ysomewhere in there but its clustered by beats and fast pace .

Try to highlight single melody to add individual persona to the track . Even if you use beats as main melody

jojoBiBop responds:

Thanks man i was a kid when i mad this. your critique really helped.

~ Best wishes

[Thinking In]

this would work nice for ambient atmosphere in game , altough its a bit too vibrant i think .

I wish you would use clear instrument to make some string melody somewhere as well .

Pretty good though

GigaSpiritRole responds:

Yea, I only realized it was too vibrant after I finished, but I decided to post it anyway. Thanks for the feedback.

[Cry-A-Live (Cover)]

SO this is remix from some nes game?

I asume it sounded horrible in 8 bit so gj if you made in from zero and up

PivotalTuxedo responds:

It's completely remixed from the SNES. Live A Live is a SNES (Super Nintendo) game.

[F|uidi+y]

Oh hello . Thanks for invite

It seems like you going for LOW-FI music genre . To be completly honest it sounds way too loud for the me to a point that it almost hurts . If you have small speakers you might not even know that .

I don't make music in this style myself so i won't critique too much .

I think your VST PADS make too much extra noise and it might be the length of the notes inside midi editor and quality of VSTS

HrsHd responds:

yeah its a flat compressor that elevates the pad volume to fill the gaps in the beats, the volume boost gives it a slight gain which is why it sounds similar to lofi stuff. nothing to do with the midi note length, its from reverb and release of the notes. ill consider reducing the volume before the final edits thanks for the suggestion

[Perception]

I think that this track kind of lost its identity by the end because you did so many stops and brakedowns .

VST weren't very good quality so it may be part of the problem .

Just no balance between melody and noise . Thats just my opinion though

TeraVex responds:

I see what you mean, and I will take your opinion into account since that is what I do.
I listen to the people and listen to critique.
Thank you for your time I greatly value your opinion!

[..And Now You're Gone..]

I can't make a good comparison since i haven't herd the original but i think some of the vsts you used are really out of place . Too noisy in the background . Could use softer vst

larkendo responds:

It all makes sense in terms of the video game. Especially if you analyze the story between Yuna and Tidus within the lyrics of the melody.

The scene in which this song plays is a very romantic, country scene. I wanted this theme to be where Tidus leaves Yuna in Zanarkand (a very robotic "graveyard", if you will, with no naturality to it, where many things were happening and many people were doing things).. Where a polyphonic sound would be very fitting. "too much background noise" isn't really a valid judgement in polyphonic music..

Thank you for your review! : )

P.S.: The best reviews have pros AND cons, cause I know it wasn't all horrible.. :/

[Dancing Under The Sun]

start of the song is a racing 1,2,3 go? XD

similar sound to Mario Kart and Crash bandicoot Team racing

i think you intended for it to be low quality so i think its nice for what it is .

Well i think you may have tried to stretch the song a bit too far .

Jxudo responds:

Thanks for the response. Yeah I actually had Mario Kart on my mind when starting this haha.
I'm working on adding more to it to make it a little more interesting right now.
Also working on the way the different parts change so it's not so sudden.

[Premonition]

I really liked the build up up until to 60 seconds but you didn't go anywhere with it . The beat should stop and go into something more melodic .

As individual track it should have build up and main melody . Not just build up .

It was pretty good though i am just saying that it had more potential .

Bardash responds:

Thank you for your review!
