Indigorain's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-YRX- LiquidBlaze EP2]

Nice!
I really loved the alternative beat in the intro, the offbeat hihat (the one in the intro) could use a bit less low frequencies in my opinion, but just a little.
Your pads sound really nice! I do think you should make the piano melody a little more along the line of the chords itself, they sound a bit like 'they're in key, but they don't really sound like they are played in their function'. Kinda vaguely explained, I know :P
Anyway, great work, loved the original progression, really nice instrumentation, the beat was what really hooked me, it sounds really cool.
5/5 Keep it up bro!

YouriX responds:

No i get what you mean! The song is in the right scale but for some reason they have trouble working toghter. I wish i could say more! But all i can say is thanks for the review! ;)

[Nightburst]

Dat bass! :D
I really liked the subbass, it gave it a really funky groove! :D
The pluckish synth at 0:44 sounds nice, I like it.
I do think the midbass/slide bass sounds a little saw-like. It makes it sound a bit too farty, I don't know how I'm supposed to describe it elseway, sorry for that :P
I like the change of progressions, always good to pay attention to that!
One last thing, the vocal slices totally rocked!
Great work man, 5/5, keep dat shit up! :D:D

OcularNebula responds:

I love fart bass, personally ^^. Something about that pure saw portamento... it's a pretty distinct sound, to say the least (easy to create, as well). I really do appreciate your reviews, though! Thanks!

[Fractal (House WIP)]

Hmm, I really like your concept, but the whole song itself sounds like it's got a soundgoodizer on it, just for the sake of. I don't know if you did use that, but if you do, I suggest not doing it :P
So your overall mastering has too much far low and far high frequencies, you should try to EQ it, bring those two points down, and bring the mids up a little.
That's pretty much it. Your mix and instrumentation is really nice, but the mastering itself is quite a shame, it can sound so much better with just a few tweaks.
Anyway, I really hope you get to change this, because it's got lots of potential! :D

DJ-Hectic responds:

Yeah, I've been working on it. I do have a soundgoodizer on the bass, but I'll probably take it off and naturally alter the sound rather than using it as a crutch. Mixing/mastering has always been my weakest point, so I'm really trying to fine tune this one to sound better now. Thanks for all the feedback dude!

[{dj-N} Blacklights [FULL]]

This is cheesy, yet so crisp, and so awesomely sexy! :D
I love it, man! :D
Big fav for me!
The piano could use a bit more reverb, that's all, especially the kick is extremely crisp.
Keep it up, big fav from me! :D

[Overcast World]

Awesome composition! Loved the modes and the chord extensions!

Criticism: NONE! :D
you hardly hear anything even close to jazz around here, so I'm really glad you made this! :D

5/5, favourite, great work!

[BlackLight - SG]

I'll be honest here. Your tracks are pretty cool, I've listened to quite a lot now, and they've never really hooked me. It's pretty much because of one thing, and that's that you should use a different chord progression. It's not a humble suggestion, it's solid advice. You should really do something about that. It's (not to be rude) the most unoriginal chord progression possible.

You should really try to get more into chord progressions, melodies, etc. Because if you want to be bigger, you got to have a solid repetoire with enough variety, but still your own style. And a style doesn't mean using the same chord progression over and over. You really got some potential, but you should consider diving into other, more original chord progressions, and make tracks with different tempo's.

I liked your synths. The downslide was a tad bit overused, but it's not that bad, makes it kind of a theme for the song. A melody would have been nice on top of it. Your kick could have used a lot more thump, right now it's mostly Hi-mid's and Low/sub frequencies. The structure of the song and the melodies were fine, it's just some overall advice to develop a lot more and gain a lot more variety in your repetoire. No hard feelings :]

SKILLZmakeKILLZ responds:

No offense taken, I love when people dig in and give great feedback like this, and I'll be better because of it. Thanks<3

[Electrolyze {durn}]

Love your new track! :D
Rediculously crisp, great feel, you don't really get to hear any electro like this here on NG, it's awesome! :D
I don't have any criticism, so I'll just leave you these awesomepoints! :D
5/5, fav'd, awesome work!

durn responds:

w00t! I can have ALL the Awesomepoints! :D Hahah, thanks for the love, Rainwave. :)

[Lemon Party?]

DEM ARPZ!
Love it man! Great arps, really nice melodies. Awesome chiptune is awesome!
Extremely happy, I really like the slide effects, your leads are really cool.
Crisp sound, the percussion is a tad bit cheesy, but still awesome and dancey.

I really really loved it man, props! :D
Imma add this to teh favourites :D

OcularNebula responds:

Sweet review! Glad you liked it

I agree, the percussion is really too simple. I couldn't figure out a way to add to it without obstructing something else, so it could definitely use work.

[DJ Babokon - Revelations]

I actually gotta go, don't have much time so I'll keep it short :P
Love it, crisp, great atmosphere, nice melodies, sometimes I feel a little too much high fq's.
Added to favs, 5/5, keep it up bro! :D

DJ-Babokon responds:

Thanks man haha

[ZiNiTY -Star]

Extremely chillout, you got a really crisp sound here!
I just caught myself still listening to this while hardly knowing, and it's extremely soothing.
It's also got a lot of ambience next to dubstep. I love the melodies, they blend really well. And your progression is simple but effective.
Great work man, 5/5!

Zinitymusic responds:

Thank you so much RainWave!!! :-)

thank you thank you thank you! (Y)
