Irish-Soul's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Trapped]

This is awesome! :D

JAME24 responds:

Thanks a lot! :D

[Just a WIP song]

Awesome! I think if you added chords to go under that and a bass line this would be perfect! :D

GeometryDashBrad responds:

Yep I totally agree, this is just the product of a hour or so messing around.

[Massive [Electro Dream Trance]]

I listened to this song when it came out, but I realized that I haven't left a review. Dj Striden, another great song! I want to point out great things that I would love to see more f in the future! (5'd as always)

-The lead synth was different, but in a good way. It sounded very nice. I personally think it added to the flare and enhanced the song.

-I feel bad because on the review on "Catalyst" I said that th drums weren't as generic as usual, but your drums aren't generic. With that said, these drums were really good!

-Please keep on using samples right as the bass drops r the melody goes up an octave. The samples work very well and make want to listen more. No offense (Please don't take offense...) I am not the biggest fan of the songs where you sing. On the flipside, the vice samples work very well.

I love your music. I just wanted to point out things I can't wait to hear again from the professional music of Dj Striden.

[- MB - Back for More]

I don't understand why this had 3 stars. I had to take a 0.5 off for the quality of the strings in the beginning. It does sound a little weird. (But only 0.5 because I have the exact problem with GarageBand, the strings suck.)

[Darkness at Merseyside]

I am always excited when I see content from you! This is really nice. Very simplistic, yet complicated at the same time (Does that make sense?). This does loop very well and flows nicely. I really hope somebody uses this fine piece of music in a game or animation! Very well mixed. I did enjoy this music.

P.S.
Sometimes I feel like being a jerk to a great song and I think I may do that here, by saying something that isn't needed. The violins that do appear in the song should be "humanized." No human plays a perfect note on a violin, so maybe a give or take 2 detune would be nice. If this violin was recorded/ this task was already done, I would like to apologize for a false suggestion.

Troisnyx responds:

Thanks. The velocities were modified, but a detune sounds like a nice idea. I'll play around with it in the next track that uses it, and see what happens :D

Glad you like it. This thing was indeed intended to be used in a game, a game that I'd conceived for getting on four and a half years. *Sigh* For want of programmers.

[Endless Route]

The mixing in this song was very good! I wish I could put a review with some intellectual thought into it, but I don't have much to say other than the fact that you have a mastery over music. I do love the bass you have at around 2:15 and I would love to hear more of this sound!

SpeTheof responds:

thanks man!

[Catalyst [Electro]]

YES DJ STRIDEN! THIS IS WHAT IS AMAZING!

This worked so well! I didn't know this was out or else I would have left a review sooner. The piano worked so well. The drums actually didn't sound that generic as they normally do. The chords worked so beautifully together (What key are they in? ^-^) The tension in the middle of the song was amazing. The grit in the dubstep was perfect. You had a perfect number of layers of music (Was I the only one who herd the "Drop the bass" dude at each drop?) I really wish I could leave a longer review about how amazing this is, but there is nothing else to say.
Thanks for making amazing music!
~Your #1 fan

DJStriden responds:

Thank you for listening to it, and for your review! Glad you like it :)

[Desert Empire]

Oh man, dubstep looks hard to make. Help me 'O wise one!

[Time Machine (Waterflame) [Piano Cover]]

You were wondering if there was a problem with the copyright. This is the exact copyright that was under time machine:

"You may not use this work for commercial purposes without making specific arrangements with the artist UNLESS your work is a web-based game or animation, in which case you may use this freely."

I don't know if this is "Used for commercial purposes." But to sell the song would be commercial purposes.

On that note, the song was mixed very well I did enjoy it.

[Hard Two [HARD EDM]]

No offense, this isn't exactly my cup of tea. The sounds were really more harsh than usual. Don't get me wrong, most of your dubstep is actually amazing. Some of your dubstep is the best on NG. I just personally didn't like this.

DJStriden responds:

Sorry about that :/ I'll do better next time!
