Irish-Soul's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Odyssey]

This very good! You should be proud of yourself, this is a masterpiece. But don't let you push you down by thinking you can't be better, use this to say that you can be better. Literally everything is perfect in this track besides one small thing. I wish it had more than the rotating chords you had in the piece. I "b" section would be nice, but isn't 100% needed. Very good song overall. You have picked up on one thing I think every music artist needs to know which is having a "room" sound to your music. It is hard to explain it, but you certainly have it here. Keep up the good work!

DJ-Zyzyx responds:

Haha thanks!! I'm trying to make my music have that "roomy" feel, but a lot of people don't like it for some reason lol. Thank you for the review. And yes, this could be better, but I'm still improving! XD

[Nebula]

I don't listen to complextro or drumstep often, so I guess I'm a little biased.

I just wish underneath all the music was a bass with a "Sine" effect. It would seriously add to the depth of the song and make it great.

Ravitex responds:

A bass with a Sine effect? Sine isn't an effect, my friend. Sine is a waveform. And on a low note it basically sounds like bass. Sub-bass to be more precise. I add a layer of it to all my songs, but I balance it properly so the bass doesn't overpower the rest of the song. But maybe I just misunderstand you and don't get your point. PM me if that's the case.

[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.

[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.

[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 :)

[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!

[The Ancient City]

Damn it LawnReality, you are too good. Why haven't you been realized by some animator yet? This music is very complex and sounds amazing. This could work well for so many things. I'm currently trying to make cinematic music but I don't think I could get even near to this quality (For I am using an old version of garage band). This is super good though.

LawnReality responds:

Thanks! I'm really glad you like this!

[Divinity]

I really like the chords that you use! They are very good. I didn't have a single problem with the synths, they are extremely well picked (I like the bell). The only mini problem I have is the drums. The cutoff was too short for the drums. But that's about it. Really well pieced together. I can't wait for another song! (It is amazing that you made this song in the time you did!)

Poosac responds:

Sometimes it takes weeks to make a single song, sometimes it only takes two days with some motivation to make a good song ;) . thnx for your review pal :D
