DJSpire's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Battle Toronto]

I really like this

I think this is pretty awesome.

I've just gotta ask, what do you use to compose this? Do you write it all out in something like Finale or Sibelius first, then import it into a DAW and assign parts to samplers?

cadence1 responds:

Thanks for your comment. I really appreciate. To answer your question, I have to admit that I don't have any music-related education whatsoever, so I don't really "write" songs in the normal sense. I compose directly in my DAW of choice (Renoise), and just experiment with different instruments as I go. I compose everything "by ear" without knowing any rules, which is probably why it takes me so long to finish a tune. I'm as amateur as it gets :)

[xKore - Cries (FL Core)]

I dig

I'm diggin' this. A lot.

Also, I'd like to see the FLP for this, and any other songs that you may have FLPs floating around and would be willing to share ;)

[[TC] Chaoz Annihilator]

Well...

@Antiskill: There's plenty of bass, bro. You just some decent phones/speakers. I can feel my brain vibrating right now.

Now, to the actual review!

I dig it. I can not wait for a full version. The strings from :12-:36 make me inexplicably happy. That's a good thing!

It feels like the mix is kinda thin near the end of this clip, like... You've got a lot going on, but not very much dynamic contrast, so it's all kinda at one volume. Scratch that, there's plenty going on. I may need my ears checked. <3

[Artificial Intelligence Evolved]

Mass Punk

It reminds me of Mass Effect's soundtrack...
And Daft Punk's soundtrack for TRON.

Both of which are EPIC!
Ergo, I enjoyed this. A lot more than I humanly should have.

EvilRaccoon responds:

Haha, nice title! :D

Glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully plenty more music on the way. Thanks for the score and comments!

[Samurai Pond]

Here it is!

Tekkou wa suisen no ue ni yuramekimasu. Samurai wa mada desu. Nami wa kare nitsuite idou shimasu.

Anyway, good job. I like this a lot. And envisioned it. World stopped for a single fight. :D

D3vilsheep responds:

Thank you! ^_^

[AB - Tension]

DAFT. PUNK!

Reminds me heavily of Daft Punk.

Good work.

AsteroidBlues responds:

Thanks ) Gotta check `em, never heard before :)

[Rig - MVPNBD]

Everybody...

Everybody who listens to this song and reads this comment shall lose the game. <3

[One Winged Evangelion]

NICE!

I saw, "One Winged Evangelion" and I thought it was a crossover of One Winged Angel and the the theme of the anime Evangelion.

But seriously, damn good song.

pumodi responds:

Haha that's where I got the idea for the name. I've been watching a lot of Neon Genesis recently. Glad you like it!

["Pain" (Demo)]

Dude.

Holy. Shit.
That is all. <3

But really, firefox doesn't even recognize firefox as a word.

SSaB responds:

:) ...It told me to type more.

[PX9 - Metropolis (Masq Remix)]

Well, if they're good monitors...

If they're good monitors, then it should sound good on anything ;)

Also, I like this. Very much. I think you pulled this off extremely well. Keep it up.

jpbear responds:

My monitors are rather good, but i find headphones crucial for mixing low end.

Thanks for the thoughts i worked really hard on this remix, reviews within the first 5 minutes are always fun.

Have a very nice day sir.
