Stavier's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[=RedAlert=]

This was pretty cool!!!

I can see how the verse's melody sounds like Chaoz Fantasy. Those sirens were awesome & definitely fit the title. The main lead was awesome & that break you added at 1:20 was very good. Maybe you could've added more Fx's in this song, but the song itself is nice. I have 2 main issues with this song.

1. The main lead, pad, siren, & any other synths were very overpowering. I suggest turning the volume down on those so I can actually hear the beat & add some bass so I can hear that too.

2. The beat could've been better for being a DnB song. I felt like there wasn't enough to it & not much variation on it either. Maybe add some more kick, snare, & maybe just a little percussion if it could fit in.

Overall, the song was good, I just suggest you add some bass, harder beat, & less volume on those synths. Good job & keep up the good work!!
8/10 & 4/5

Daydream-Anatomy responds:

Thanks dude, someone actually turned the master volume down in my fl (my friend's been playing with it.) the volume was at 30 percent, and when I turned it up I realized how badly mixed it was, I didn't want to bother with it though.

[Riding Through The City]

This was pretty nice!!!!

I'm just confused. I saw this song just yesterday on the just submitted 30 somethin' listens, 2 or 3 reviews, & a couple of ratings & then the new best of the week songs come & this song somehow got on number one of best 5 of the week when it was only on like the 20th submitted song.

I mean I don't mean this in a mean way, but what the hell?? How is that even possible. I mean if your song was submitted a couple days ago & was on top 5 then maybe it'd make sense, but this wasn't even on here for a whole day!

Now to the criticizing part. Yeah, this isn't really hip hop, but it's not really techno either. It's a little miscellaneous if you ask me. I mean if the beat was different & had a hard kick then sure, but this is really fast pasced drums. The good part is that this was composed well, simple concept, nice instrumentation, good FX's added to the instruments like the reverb on a couple of them, & that this creates a nice pcture in your head.

Congrats on bein' one of fastest 5 of the week I've ever seen! Good job on this & I expect to see more.
5/5 ( I accidently hit 4, but it still went up) & 9/10

HeavenSent responds:

I don't know how it happened : /

I always ask all of my friends to vote for it when i post a new song on newgrounds, and most of them do. But it got 0 bombed anyway, so I don't know how it got top of the week.

Glad you liked it and thank you for reviewing!

Awesome x10!!!

I really like this song. It's weird, when only the 1st part of the song was playin', my body was moving to this already.

I really like this chord progression, the concept idea of this song, the vocal which made this song even better cuz the vocal made some kinda mood change to the song with the perfect reverb attached to it, the piano that made me almost cry hearing it in the background with it's beautiful notes, the beat that totally snap, crackle, & popped this song, the Fx's, the main lead/synth, & everything else not mentioned.

This song defintely didn't get to repetitive & it wasn't boring at all. I've listened to a good share of house songs, but this one was one of the most amazing house-tech songs I've ever heard.

You also managed to sidechain the pad perfectly which made the song better & didn't throw it off key. I also like the synths that just make those pop noises. It's great that this song wasn't all bundled up & sounded out off key or anythin'.

This song totally made my day so imma click the download button, put on my favorite list, rate it 5/5, and this review is 10/10 for sure. To bad I can't put it any higher or I would. Great job & pleez keep this up!!!!!

[Rainwave - Scream into Nowhere]

Happy B-Day!!!!!

Wow, this is really good. It's great that this song is upbeat too since it sounds like you're about to celebrate with this. My B-day is actually next month on June 7th, what a coincidence :D I love how varied this is, the feelin', the synths, the beat that moves my feet, the funny guy that screamed, the piano solo at 3:33, and anythin' else I didn't mention. Again, this was great & imma download, rate, brag about it to my frendz, already enjoyed like twice, & just reviewed now. Great job again & happy b-day!!!!! :D
5/5 & 10/10

Indigorain responds:

Thanks a million times, my friend! :D
I'm really glad you liked it, after mah awesome birthday! :D

[DarkLight (Omega)]

Wow, way better then the demo showed

This finished version was way better then the demo cracked up to be. My favorite part was that beat that started kickin' in at 1:44. You always add that dark/industrial feel to your songs which makes you have your own style in music. Idk if you thought about it, but it has like this winter feel with the synth/pad sound. Thus was composed greatly & the wobble bass was better with headphones cuz it sounded like it got zapped & electrified to make like a more thin wobble then just heavy if you know what I mean. The only thing I have to complain about is the outro at 2:29. It was totally unexcpected, but it sounded out of tune to me, maybe cuz it echoed or somethin'. Porbably cuz the synth had it's own thing goin' on & when you hear them mixed together they sound like they are tapped at different times makin' some kinda off tune thing. I'm glad you put more SFX's & the song had more of a retro feel too, making the song more pleasing. Great job as always!!!!

9/10 & 5/5

Omega-Ravager responds:

Thanks I improved it a ton from the demo!

I switched up the wobble about 8 times till I got it where I liked it.

Thanks for some advice on this and glad you like it!
I'm thinking my style going to be a dark Industrial for the most part in my dubstep tracks anyway. I'm still undecided about how I do my techno stuff!

Thanks for taking the time to listen!

[Soulero & Devotion - The beach]

I really liked this!!!!

This was beautiful. I don't really know why this has such a low score so I gave it a 5 & boosted it. Your work & the combination of DJ Contacreast upbeat spirit made a heartwarmin' song right here. Also, I've always liked Dj Contacreast work, especially Melody From Heaven, a classic. The only thing I'd say is that the singin' got overpowered at times by the music & sometimes it seemed a little out of tune, but that's it. I mean everythin' was in tune, nice bass, fitting title, nice FX on the synths & voice like reverb, resonance, autotuning, etc., great piano with echoing, nice lyrics, good build-ups, & whatever else I didn't mention. Great job again & keep the good work up!!!!!
5/5 & 9/10

Soulero responds:

Thank you

[Snake's Roommate]

Haa, me & my friend laughed...

To the same thing the guy said on the bottom. I'm just wonderin' why he keeps leavin' & leavin'. Lolz good job on this one, funny stuff.

SirKillington responds:

Thank you, glad you got something from it, heh. I really liked doing this one. It was all done on the spot, both voices. I just edited it with sounds. Hope to have more stuff coming. Thanks for the review!

[Got Dark (demo)]

This is pretty good

This is a really nice song & I gave this a 5/5 cuz this should at least have a higher score even though it's a demo. I understand now that the beginnin' was a sub bass from reviewin' your last song & I'm glad you started with a first. It did sound better when I put in headphones. I think there maybe could've been more FX's. For example, like a boom effects to enter in the wobble bass. It would be nice if there was a boom that entered it in since the wobble bass if really heavy. I don't mean like a big boom, I mean somethin' like a compressed boom FX. Now, my only real suggestion with the synths is at 0:13, make the sound maybe more 8-bit like. Since I know you don't make the intro's to happy, maybe lower pitch 8-bit sound, but somethin' that sounds more retro style. Either then that, everythin' was A-Ok.

Omega-Ravager responds:

Thanks! I've already put a bunch more in this song and I'll see what I can do as far as adding in some more stuff. Glad you like it and I'll add in some more stuff, thanks for the suggestions!

[Rainwave - Dream of Eternity]

Wow, amazing!!!

This was really nice. I like how you started it sad like & stuff. If & when I post my next song called Upbeat Life, listen to the beginnin' then the song cuz I did pretty much the same thing, sad then happy. I like how you started with a retro synth & not a hardcore kinda synth, changed it up a little. The beginnin' made me think ehh, boring, but then WOAH, I'M ECSTATIC!!!! I can totally see this song playin' in a club or somethin'. Even around the end, it somehow got happier. Nice job on this one & I hope to see more like this from you!!!
10/10 & 5/5

Indigorain responds:

Thank you very much, I'll be sure to listen to your music :D
