DarkEpiphone's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Karco - Cycles - WIP]

Good stuff

This is a quality track. the lead melody/arp should change though.

Good overall production. I like the strings part.

Karco responds:

The melody/arp is an uncertain thing I'm still working with - and then leads aren't my strong point anyway. :P It's something subject to change as the song progresses.

Thanks for the comment. :)

[(::Across The Planet::)]

Keep your head up

The song had a nice theme but not all the instruments fit well together. A few of the notes between the different melodies being played simultaneously clashed especially the baseline. Ur probably new to the whole makin music thing, this is good for someone just starting to make music. keep your head up and continue doing what you enjoy... makin muzic :D

FatKidWitAJetPak responds:

Honestly I get 4's 5's and 3's voted on all my submissions and this one isn't the BEST one I subbmitted but I made the instruments clash together at some points in order to show some symbolism in the whole "Across the Planet" Thing. he REAL song is like 45 minutes with all kinds of stuff in it but I did not sub it to newgrounds. =D

[dj_padman - Blitz]

nice song

i enjoyed listening to this it has a powerful bass and it is indeed very melodic. could you let me know what plugin you used to make the leads in this song.

5/5

-DarkEpiphone

dj-padman1 responds:

thanks man..Ok, I use Surge VST, and I think the bass is actually the same as the lead. I just pitched it up, added some portamento and thickened it up by adding another oscillator.
When I listen to the track again though, I think I overused the lead line!

[_) final fantasy christmas(_]

still good

this is not quite as good as the mini fantasy battle but none the less i still enjoyed listening to it. this would be a good menu music but its probably not deverse enough to be anything else. still a 5/5

aspachi responds:

yep, a lack of mastering just a little christmas specail i made for final fantasy fans in a few hours :p

[*+*+)mini fantasy battle(+*+*]

really good

i like this a lot. it has really good melody and choice of instruments. if only maybe they sounded more reolistic, then again its a video game song. I'm sure people are gonna use this for their flash games if they stumble apon it. you should have mastered the audio though :D

-DarkEpiphone

aspachi responds:

lol whaddya mean? i did master this but i think it lacked a thing or two. glad you enjoyed the song! better epic songs to come! it just gonna take a week, or two, or three.......? thanks for your review! oh by the way people me and quickshot-x is collabing and we will be fusing one of our not seen on ng tracks so be ready when it comes!

[DJ Sash - Szahala Love (Prev.)]

hahaha nice!!!

this is a really good that gets ppl movin :P. i like the choice of melody thou i noticed one of the notes played on theslow part of the song were not in key. really good stuff man. keep up the good work.

CHECK OUT MY STUFF IF U HAVE TIME ---> DarkEpiphone

btw my style of trance/techno is different than yours

Rave4Yourself responds:

Ah i will.

[Free loop]

ok a few tips

when makin your loops or songs make sure you don't use preset melodies :D. make the stuff yourself it pays off. and wen making a loop dont render as an mp3 rener as a wave file and then set the the render to wrap remaining sound. this way if you use reverb it wont just stop the reverb efect it will actually wrap it around back to the begining of the song. listen to my music and maybe u'll get some ideas. keep working hard and don't quit, maybe some day you'll be a pro =D.

Glutton responds:

Thanks i have no clue as to what you are talking about as i am new to making audio but thanks....

[The Forgotten]

Has Potential

This song has potential... i liek the melodies used. However, this song could use better mastering (try messing around with the equalizer. If you have any mroe question or need help doing anything i'll be glad to help out. Check out my music, rate it, and tell me what you think. maybe even use it as something to study idk :D. One of the things that make trance music come alive are insane transitions and smooth effects. I can easily make a really cool melody and i'm sure you can too. remember the melody is a small segment of the "big picture" when working on music. It's hard to explain I hope you understand what i'm saying. anyways keep up the good work.

joshuaskillsrobles responds:

Thanks, also someone is already helping me, i just need to contact them again. But if you use acid pro 6 pm me, if not well then nm.

[Dreamerz: In the Beginning]

not bad

not bad, very easy listening and relaxing. it was a bit too generic though. never the less, I liked it

8/10
4/5

itsameyayo responds:

Hmm...I guess generic sounds, or maybe the entire sound, don't know : P

-Thanks!

-ImperfectDisciple-

[Path of Nowhere]

Not Bad

It's got a great beat to it nice rythm and a simple yet nice melody. i suggest you Master the audio and lower the bass because it clips. when the bass clips it kills the quality of the song for all the other instruments. you should leave it up to the listener to turn up his own bass to the volume he/she wants. anyways nice track.

G-vegas responds:

Thanks for your review. I really listen to good advice, and this is definitely it
