unrealdark's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[DjKevinax-BitterSweetSymphony]

Mhmm not bad at all...

Could use some fine tuning here and there, and some adjustments on the volume at some points, for example the beat. I must say I am impressed by the piano alike thing, and the pads those are perfect for this kind of remix. About the breakbeat thing at 1:41 I noticed it's a loop, try to make your own beat and put your unique style to it. I personally could help you make it better if you'd like. It's up to you, or even a collab? :) I've got some spare time now, and I can give this baby just what it needs.

Although the fails, and non-mastering issues I give you a 5/5 and a 9/10. I see this got potential.

[Hold Back (EQ) WIP]

My ideas on this masterpiece are:

Well first, make a smooth intro with piano and a pad (+ a high pitched sub melo?), because that will blend in nicely with the piano in the overall song, and the (happy) melody.

In the main part, which is this part that got submitted, I wouldn't change that much it's good this way, perhaps shifting in leads, or some more effects. Nothing more. Because this melody is really good.

In the finished version it also ofcourse needs breakdowns/builds and a little more variaty try sidechaining some leads, and let that massive kick pound over it. Or something else you're good at. :P

For the ending I woud love to see it blend out with piano/pad/bass Because this bass is really wicked! I always loved fat sawy basses. ^^ Awesome kick too! It's really beefy and pounds great trough this track. Good job so far! ;)

Would deffinately see this finished, and I hope you will submit some more audio in the future since you're that mad about the TOP songs. Well for me it doesn't cares for is at the top, I know to find good artists and you're deffinately one of them!!

Take care,

-Ian.

9/10 5/5.

[Brando ft Scoop - Road 2 Dance]

So Happy!! :D

First things first and that'll be the intro. ;)
Loved the piano, and the pad trough it. The melody is indeed repitive there, but I don't see why it actually needs variation, I loved it how it came out like this. Very energetic and happy vibe going on here, which continues to the rest over the song.
Which I admire because sometimes it is really hard to keep one feeling going on the whole time, without getting repitive.

Main theme of the song, is really energetic and happy as said before. I love the electric bass, it fits in really nice, and as well for the leads and synth. The best thing was the stuttering effect at some points of the song, it's an little detail but spices things up for sure! The percussion was REALLY nice, to mention it in the intro, perhaps simple but perfect at the same time. Builded really nice.
Godly pad, and still gotta say that bass is wicked! :D

Near the end it builded of slowly, and loved the build which started at 2:00 and ended at 2:41, to progress into the end, that was something like an adrenaline rush, good job.

Good luck, on your further submissions, as always keep me informed. ;)

-Ian

*PS: You owe me a review as well now, I am waiting over a week. :(

Dj-Brand0 responds:

Really glad you liked it :D

I'm also glad you didn't think it needed variation which backs me up lol. Yeah I like the happy touch to the song, but I think I've kinda had enough of the happy music making for now. lol

Yeah thanks, I'm glad you liked the percussion and bass, I layered it a fair bit. :D
I made sure I added all the effects it needed for the intros and breaks etc.

And at the end, yeah glad you liked it again. It kept the song going with a nice variation, thanks :D

-Cheers Brando

*PS: I'm sorry I didn't get to review yours but I have now reviewed your latest 2.

[MikoZi- Dark-Chase-Thing(demo)]

Is here an electric field?

Because I feel some sparkles!

First to say is, I love your heavy kick! And the electric lead finishes it, same as for the beat it's strong an heavylie pounding the song!

It's deffinately chasing something, I get an adrenaline rush just by hearing this song, and feel I gotta run my ass off. :D God this will be an epic track while joggin! XD

Also this song is deffinately very techno-ish, love it!
I'd be (sad enough) the first to say that you need to continue this song for sure. (don't mind the score, most of the times it doesn't says anything about the song itself.) like in this particular case. Because this song is amazing.

Use a little bit more variety in the final track, so it makes it interesting to hear trough out the whole song. It's good for now. ;)

5/5 9/10 <- for being a demo, but needs some little fixes.

-Ian.

[MikoZi - Deep (demo)]

God, that kick shakes my balls!

Good blend in the intro!
Loved the start wich blends into the beat, and the lead as well.

Got to love that hardstylelicious bass, awesome.
This demo has sure an good potential of being an great, an wel deserved song!

Can't really review an 40 second demo, but I must tell you it's very nice!
Keep it at this pace and you'll surely have some godly tracks.

-Ian.

[10SEH Brando - So Far So Good]

Amazing Loop Brandon!

Long time, I were able to finally review an new piece of yours, might be an bit too late though. :D

First things first: The synth that goes 'Mahzzwwhh' everytime is really nice.
There is allot of variation in this short but awesome piece! And it's not even boring to listnen to this over and over again! :D

Loving the british vocals, gave an nice twist, and I am suprised it fits in this tiny 15 second loop. XD

Beat is strong and well placed, basic but good.

Loving the bass in here, same as that synth! Beautifull!

Suppah loop, you're doing awesome in hardstyle and both in electro/house types of tracks! Loving them.

5/5 10/10

-Ian.

Dj-Brand0 responds:

Thanks heaps Ian! :D Yeah the 'Mahzzwwhh' was a nice effect to the saw ey? :D
I'm glad you liked it.

The vocals were from Vengeance Vocals and they were just a few snippets I chose that fitted together. It turned out pretty good.

Nah it's never too late to review :D

Well yeah thanks again.

-Cheers Brando

[Act of urgency (Game loop)]

I never reviewed any video game loop! :)

To be honest, I never heared much video game songs/loops, so don't judge me wrong by saying anything bad/false.

Well to start of, I really liked the ambient like intro, the beats in the whole song are good, and very strict to the melody. Also the synth/lead shots, are wel done, it kept this song very interesting.

When we continue to the middle of the song, there's an sub melody, pitched and good noticeable, worked really well with the structure of the rest of the song.

Overall this song, is for my feeling ambient, with an bit of power brought by the beats. Everything fitted well, I see no flaws. Also I think this deffinately would be an good loop for an game, like for an space game.

5/5 10/10

-Ian.

DigohD responds:

Well unrealdark, Video game loops can be almost anything, depending what game genre, setting and atmosphere is. A space game you say? Perhaps, depends what the game creators here on newgrounds want.

Great review, great feedback. Thank you!

[Psybot - A new dawn]

I also BAGIN my life waking up, and live my life.

It's the least I could expect from an professional artist like you. It's Beautifull!

I loved the calm start with an arp, and followed up with vocals, and the beginning lead. These where the facts that made me listnen the whole track trough.

You got an nice clubby and punchy kick going on, and a beefy clap finishes it.
So the beat, is wonderfull for me.

Now we continue in the song itself, I love your pitched lead, how higher to note goes the better it sounds. ^^ Btw, it's perfectly mixed with all kinds of effects!

I noticed some extra's wich I normally don't hear from you. These extra's where the hardstylish effects. :) Like for example: 1:18. I realy liked them! Gave it an nice twist.

The ending is is good, it builded off good. But the melody should actually fade out. Which it didn't, so it made the ending slightly abdrupt.

There where definately some more loveable facts here, but that would be to much to describe! No extreme flaws whatsoever, just an personal pointer. ;)
But don't take it too seriously. :P

I think this is quite the best I've heared so far from you. And this song is definately downloaded! Also fav'd.

5/5 10/10 - It made my day good again. Thanks for that. ;)
Keep Producing!

-Ian.

Psybot responds:

Thanks for your review ^^

About the ending, i am quite aware that it might be a little to unplanned and i could make it more like fading. but the thing is, i became so eager to upload it, hehe. since i havent had a good song in months.

hehe, and i noticed my typing error :P thx

Thanks once again for your review, i really enjoyed reading it ^^

[DJ Frosted - Dreamworld]

Interesting!

First things first, about the intro:

Loved the basic intro with the kicks/bass, claps and later on the hats. Also the vocals that says: anhilating or something like that is really awesome! It drawed my attention already from the start.

After the intro, I'd never thought it would come out that soothing with an cool pad and some ambient piano in the background. I really liked that! Can't see what should be fixed there. Same for the intro though it could've used an bit more variation, like effects.

Main melody is quite simple, but very atractive to hear! Loved it that you side-chained it. Gives an diffrent twist to all the other generic songs I've heared so far.

The ending is also maybe an bit anti-Qlimatic if you know what I mean. It whas an bit of an abdrupt stop. It did suited this song though. But I would like to see an more original ending that would stay printed in my mind forever, and pushes me to let me hear this song again, and over again.

Overall, an nice tune, very soothing and loved the new bass!

-Ian

5/5 10/10

Ps: Chase that 0 Bomber, and kick him in the nuts!
Friends will probably review later. ;)

Good luck mate!

DJ-Frosted responds:

Thanks man :D!!! yeah i agree i could have added a sexier intro but i just got excited and rushed it.. :P i dont see anything wrong with the ending though... hmm Thanks for the reveiw!

[Progressive Trance v7]

Hell of an job!

Dude seriously how do you come up with inspiration!? You can make dance/trance/club/house/electro and probably way more, and now even progressive trance!? Really mad track, I love progressive trance, it's what pulled me in to like all these genre's of dance and trance. And this one is not bad at all!
Loved the effects like the vocals 'haah' *faded away* and the electro buzz that came on 0:58! This song is now owning my 1sth place spot on my userpage. And once again you've proven to be my number 1 fav'd artist. You rock everybody's pants!
There whas no fault to spot, everything is awesomely done, and the pad is the best thing that could happen to this song, it's ambient but as well very proven to keep you interested in what would come next.

Keep going, and make me happy! ;)

5/5 10/10
