DJSpire's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[XS - R!OT]

Didn't you...

Didn't you already submit this once?

Jimmypig responds:

Well spotted ;P Yeah I changed a few things and did a bit of mastering, plus it got horribly 0 bombed :'(

[Acid Paradox - Monster]

YES!!!

This was amazing. I loved this, especially the scream. Keep making this kinda music. Forever. Never die.

Also, @Baxstung, you don't have to use FL's stock synths >_> And if you program them yourself, they'll sound good too. Derp.

[Bad Destiny- Chrono Cross]

Yes.

Yes. Yes. YES!

Spoiler Alert: YES!!!!!
Real Spoiler Alert: Screw Miguel.

I liked this. A lot. Very much a lot. Reminiscence. :)

rockmasterflex69 responds:

It makes it wholly worthwhile to have spent time doing this if even one person likes it. Thanks.

[In the Spirit of Silence]

DUDE!

This kicks ass! I'm pretty sure one of my buddies, who asked me to make a backing track for him, would love to spit to this. I have permission to send this to him?

awtron responds:

Haha! Thats awesome totally! Go ahead! :D and thank you!

[.::FF9 Esto Gaza::.]

Indeed I do

Enjoy. I do enjoy. Very much.

Loved FFIX, as well. So, yeah. Reminiscence. Good rendition of this song.

DarkMagic2010 responds:

Thanks alot. I highly enjoyed FF9 and Esto Gaza always felt like such a peaceful place to me :)

[BeatBox Freestyle - Cutta Chas]

The only way you show it

The only way you show that you suck is that you self voted a 5.
Also, you started with enunciation, but then you kinda stopped enunciating. That's kinda necessary.

[Soda Hat Trance]

YES!

Beginning reminded me of Rellika! HUGE COMPLIMENT!!!!

God, I love this kind of music. It's like, anthem, summer, happy as balls trance.
I like how you did the snare roll buildup.

Wait... This entire song reminds me of Rellika. Are you Rellika in disguise?
I love this.

[Ultraspace]

Gotta say...

I freakin' love the synth at 0:40. It reminded me of the days when I would play Sonic Adventure 2 Battle all day. It reminded me of, no surprise, the space levels. :D

The rest of the piece is very good. You could probably drop the volume on the kick a tiny bit, it's just kinda overly noticeable. Like, hurting my ears.

The insta-buildup right at the end was freakin' sweet.

All in all, great piece. 9/10, 4/5

[The Spire]

There's too much going on.

Yeah, there's way to much going on at the beginning. I couldn't possibly concentrate on all of it. Think if you knew 7 different languages, and were stuck in a room with a bunch of people shouting in all of those languages, and you were trying to concentrate on one conversation. It's not easy.

Near the beginning, it felt like your chord progression was going out of key, but that might just be the synths harmonic content screwing with my head. Or maybe the synth's arpeggiations going out of key because they have a fixed pattern.

All in all, it's good, you just need to tone down some of the stuff at the beginning.

7/10, 4/5

[Akatsuki.]

No... You're wrong.

Sorry, pal, but I speak Japanese. Akatsuki literally translates to Red Moon. Aka = noun form of red, tsuki = moon.

Now, to the actual review!

Intro:
Reminds me of Tiesto or Armin van Buuren, both of which are good things. I like the piano chording, and the build ups. The saw-square sounding synth that came in at 0:55 seems out of place to my ears. Note wise and soundwise. Didn't really fit the rest of the synths.

I like the break at 1:22. The piano gets more complex and it's tranquil.

High hat TOO LOUD! If you do your mix right, you don't have to have the hat even half that volume. It'll pierce through, it's one of the highest sounds in a mix. Ever.

I like the gated pad that you have near the end.

Umm... I dunno, mix up the build up. I could tell you just had one build up that you used over and over again whenever you wanted a climax type thing. It got boring after the second or third time.

8/10, 4/5

AustinHayes responds:

Shoot! hahaha damn internet trolls.

well this was only my second song ever, and im still just learning the ropes, but yeah i agree with you about 0:55.

other than that, i really appreciate your advice, and you can consider it duly noted for the future =)
