Envy's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[=[O]= Promise [Trance]]

Wooh

I still think Mindless is your best but this one is pretty kickass man.
Getting that full sound huh? haha

I'm not totally WITH the long intro, but i absolutely LOVED the break after the intro. It was awesome man, really airy and amazing, gave an awesome ambient feel.

When everything comes in its awesome dude. I love all the airy feelings it gives.

1,2,3,4 hahaha sounds kinda like an infant haha

Nice work man! keep it up!

[Electrick - Dark Forest]

Nice man

This is pretty good. I don't generally listen to the DnB genre much, but I thought I'd check this one out.

I liked the bass, but it seemed a little thin if you ask me. It had the right distortion, but was really thin. Try EQing it to give it a little umph, maybe a bass boost.
Yeah, the bass seems a bit off at some points, especially at the beginning, but I think you tried to do that maybe.
Your using FL I'm guessing, but I'm not totally sure.

Try compressing it a little to get rid of some of that clipping at the beginning.
Turn down the quality of the free filter on the drums when you're bringing them in to get rid of some of the clipping there. But other than that nice work man. Needed somewhat of a pad at the beginning to fill that empty space. But other than that, nice work. I enjoyed it.

Electrick responds:

Thanks Envy! There was a pad at the end. I guess I should've added one through out the whole song. I didn't really think the bass was thin. I was wearing headphones when I made it, so I guess I wasn't being careful about it. Thanks again for the review!

[Neo Terrain (Mac7 May)]

Nice man

Pretty cool, everything sounded really cool. The start was awesome with that low pass kick! The only thing that kind of killed it for me was that snare... Not a huge fan of the sound of that snare... has too much cah to it whereas I see drum and bass snares as more of ksh rather than a cah. Still, nice job on the percussion.

And I love that bass (gotta love the triplets)

Quarl responds:

cah, ksh, boom, chika chika. ontz ontz ontz ontz?

[Lauren's Star Dance]

Cool

Pretty good for a second song. You really need to put some more oomph in your drums... or just put drums in, in general? Work more on creating more of a melody than just putting arps in, (It's cool, but all starts sounding the same after a while.) Nice work on this one though, pretty catchy.

Check out my stuff some time, and tell me what you think ^.^

[LTM² - Try This, With A Coke]

Amazing

This song is awesome man! You always amaze me with your percussion man! Even though it sounds like all fl defaults, it's still crazy original. This song was just awesome, it was exciting, it changed up a lot, and it was catchy! Awesome work man! You're definately a HUGE underdog here on the AP. If you had some more people noticing your work, you could be huge! Upload more songs, man!

ListenToMyMusic responds:

It takes me a while to think of new melodies and stuff, that's where I lack. I can't make enough songs to be recognized

Good Bye, Eat Pie

[Hyperdestructive]

Cool

Sounded pretty good except some of the melodies, at the start especially, kind of clashed a little bit.

I have a question, it sounds a lot like you use vanguard... I think I hear the Scream For more synth, and alpha lead and such... Do you? Or are there similar sounds out there (Which I'm sure)

You sound so much like Dimrain it's crazy, except I think you try and keep the basic melody of the song going so it doesn't sound TOO random then simply break off into synth solos here and there... Some of the offbeat stuff was cool, but then again some of it didn't sound too good... But nice work, man.

NightHawk22 responds:

Yeah I used vanguard, but it was not scream, it was the beast.
thanks for the review,

[¡Jarvid!-Mario goes ackopellah]

Hmmmm

I'm very suprised you have not gotten signed yet for a work like this, my friend!

heh, but seriously, what are they all saying?

Was a clever idea, but didn't sound so clever to the ears...

Jarvid responds:

i love you

[[TMM43]Jurassic Park]

Too Midi-ish

It almost sounds like you just took the midi, and placed instruments on it... Doesn't sound too much of an attempt to REMIX it.

But it was good nonetheless, catchy melody and such.

Next time try going all out on the remix, adding percussion, change it up a little.

But still not bad.

TMM43 responds:

I was going for a remake rather than a remix.

This talk of a remix inspires me to make one... Thanks a lot for your contribution.

[The BassHunter Song XTreme Mix]

Mastering much?

This song would definately be atleast 25 times better with a little mastering... Its simple, throw a compressor or two in there, to clear it up atleast...

Anyways, the song itself was nice, but was so muddy I wasnt really sure what was going on, it all kinda blended together! But I could really feel alot of effort comin off of it. I espeicially like the triplet melody, and the piano... But again, the mastering kinda threw me off...

You are using FL studio, right? I really like the strings and pads you used... And the plucked sound near the middle was real nice. But again mastering! BLEH, mastering can make or break a song... And in your case, it came damn near to breaking it. Seriously, upload a mastered version, and it would sound like a totally different song. There was a lot of diversity throughout the song though... Oh well, Keep up the good work I guess.

DJ-DaVinster responds:

I guess we should've put a compresser in there, sorry.

Yeah, we were using FL Studio. Thanks for the compliments!

Thanks for the review, I might put a mastered version up here if I have time to compress it.

[HARD Sands]

Ehmmm

I wouldnt exactly say rave... its a bit erm... light to be a rave? I guess thats how i can put it... Try using a fruity blood overdrive on the bass, or kick, and arp... Turn the preamp all the way up, and turn down the volume of the blood overdrive to about 1/3 or so, so it doesnt make you go deaf... it will add a huge amount of oomph to everything... Besides that... Try to change it up a little more, perhaps raise the bass up one octave, so it doesnt sound so distorted, and put a slight phaser on it. But thats all entirely up to you...

In the meantime, keep up the good work!

thanks for your help
