alextheDJ's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mute City [Box-Killa]]

It's pretty good

I like it. It's got a good feel to it. However, the progression needs a little work. imo, it all kind of came together at around 1:52, but then it ended too quickly. I feel that the middle section was drawn out a bit too much. So, my advice is to shorten the middle section and focus more on the last section.
Also, the bass sounded a little too loud in the mix. I would lower the volume on it a bit.
I like the way you switched up the drum sounds slightly throughout the song.
I haven't played this game but from what I hear you did it justice. It definitely has a video game vibe.

If you don't mind could you review and rate my newest song, Salvation? Thanks

Box-Killa responds:

yeah it did end a bit quick but that is how it ends originally so...

I will try review some of your stuff :D

[[-=]Too Far Gone[=-]]

YES!

You two together = epic win! :D
The sample, drums, everything is great! The thing I like the most is the bass. It's so badass! I will say that the song gets kind of repetitive. Other than that, great job!

[Isreal (ng cut) - josh]

Love It!

Out of all the amazing dubstep you submitted for the contest, this is my favorite. I love the atmosphere. It's got an eerie yet soothing vibe to it. You definitely nailed the middle-eastern sound. I love all the samples. They fit perfectly. I can't get enough of that sidechained sample of some middle-eastern instrument. Where did you get it?
Anyway, I would say that you could've added some more to it, like the drums, more instruments, more pronounced bass (more than just a sub), stuff like that. However, I do realize that, as you said in your response to the review below, you want to keep the deep vibes and I'm cool with that. I understand what you mean. So, whenever you're in this kind of mood again, please make another track! lol
You have major talent man! 5/5 10/10 faved dled

thecokebitch responds:

Haha dude... Way tooo much praise! Thanks anyway tho :P

As for that side-chained middle eastern instrument, its acually some middle-eastern girl singing... I just sliced it up, layered effects onto it, and yeah... haha

But yeah, i'd love to make this track progress, and turn it into a full length tune - but i dont really know where to go from here... (i'll end up posting it here if i do)

anyways,
Cheers for the awsome review!

[Para - Methemist (Printers)]

WOW!

Great entry man! I love the creepy sounding printer synth melody. The bass is very cool. I would never have thought to manipulate the sample the way you did. Everything sounds great! My only critique is that it gets kind of repetitive.
Good luck in the contest! :)

[Para - Smog Step Sanctuar]

Damn Dude!

This track is all over the place. All of basses, synths, etc. are sick! The intro is perfect cause it has a ominous and atmospheric vibe to it. The transitions are very smooth. and, as the guy below me said, nice panning effects. My only critique is to make it longer.
btw, this reminds me of the kind of stuff that plays on the Scion commercials. This would be perfect. You should seriously consider selling this to them.

[tetris (TCB's dubstep mix)]

Nice!

Man you've really got Dub nailed down! I like the beat. The bass is awesome! Dirty, bassy, and kickass. My only criticism is that it gets kind of repetitive.

Overall, great tetris dub remix! 5/5 10/10 dled

thecokebitch responds:

Cheers for the review man!

This song is really just a 16 bar loop i expanded through copy and paste (hence the reptition :P)
I am still working on it though, and when i rekon thats its good enough to play out - i'll edit this submission and chuck the new version over the existing...

[Adagio for Strings (Loop)]

More Please!

This is great! I looooooove this song! I'm actually working on and off on a remix of adagio for strings. Please make this into a full-length song!

[Kazmo - Euphoric Part 3/3]

WOW!!!

I listened to all 3 parts and dude this is amazing! Professional grade stuff here. You should think about getting this signed. I really appreciate you splitting up into parts and upping the bitrate/quality. It sounds so much better. I'm picky when comes to the bitrate. lol
I really like the feel to it. It's laid back, deep, and emotional but powerful, kickass, and well... Euphoric. The beat is great especially the big and booming kick. The lead saw is huge and very well done. btw, what plugin do you use for reverb? cause the reverb in this is awesome. I just got the free plugin Ambiance and love it. but I'd be interested to know what you use.
again, amazing track! I'm goin' to download all 3 :)
5/5 10/10 faved (all 3)

Kazmo responds:

I just use the Reverb 2 plugin that comes with FL8 :P

I'm picky with bitrate too lol :P

Yayyyyy dls :3

Thanks for the review and support! :D

[Discover[Dj-S]]

Nice track!

All of the instruments sound great. Great job on the fx. As Meonly70 said, it's a catchy tune. Would go great in a flash. "...we could releas an extended collab version" Definitely!
