DJ-Zyzyx's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Altitude]

I like this piano <3
The classic Geoplex plucks. Give me the chills!
This is pretty unique for a house track.
Theres a bit to much bass for a part before the drop.
The drop is weird... not sure how I feel about it. But I'm sure other people would like it.
The placement of the plucks in the mix feel wierd but maybe thats just me
The first drop is 7/10
I like this buildup!
Second drop already. I like how you side chained in this track.
I like how you added a lil dubstep bass in there :P
Overall not bad. Second drop 8/10 (cuz you added some stuff I liked)
Nice track GeoPlex. Good to know you're not dead, and still making nice some solid works.

<3,

Geoplex responds:

Thanks man. Not sure specifically what you mean about the drops, but this was definitely a bit experimental for me (really tried to not use any reference tracks this time and go in my own direction, haha.)

Thanks for the feedback :)

[SharkBite - Windward]

Ah... Well I hear more loops in here /: The fact that you are using loops is okay! (I'm not sure if it is on Newgrounds) I used to use loops on Newgrounds just like you are (but then my songs got removed lol)
If you want to get better at mixing and mastering, you should use loops. But the more important thing is sound design, like I said before :P This song just plainly uses too many loops at the drop, The only non loop I hear is the piano. Not trying to be an annoying lil' butt, but just pointing out what I did before ;)

Have a wonderful day,

I know what you used to make those synths, serum, right?? (Correct me if I'm wrong XD)
I like that FM sound. Very wonky 8)))
You definitely hit the "space" vibe RIGHT on.
This is super catchy!! I like it :P
Repetitive, but then again, most video game songs are like that so it's good.
I recognize that snare, what DAW do you use? Logic, FL, Ableton?
The chorus/drop is so catchy omg
This is my favorite of your newer songs I think.
Yeah there is a lot of FM synths in this lol
Overall great track. I can't find any flaws in this!! Great job waterflame :3
It's great to hear music from you again.

I like the beginning it's so ambient... just waiting for something to happen! :O
Nice job with the drums.
totally fits in the industrial theme you were going for! It's really catchy :D
Everything seems to be EQ'd perfectly, everything sits well in the mix.
I like what you did with the basses and vocal chops.
Not sure what the vocals are saying but lol not sure if they are even supposed to say anything XD
Those vocals really add to the feel of the song, nice job.
It seems a bit repetitive, but if you're going for a video game song then thats good.
Yeah I wouldn't really listen to this on a daily basis, but I'm sure a lot of people would!!
Oooo.... this part is spooky!!
Reminds me of some 80's movie for some reason xD
You did a good job with the style... these vocal chops are really good. And good for you for trying something different, this turned out really well! I hope you use my criticism constructively :)

[Chael - Leap of Faith]

Nice beginning... it sounds like a typical song from you lol
it's catchy :P
I like this piano. Pianos are kewl 8)
Te pluk is also kewl
that background piano thats kinda eq'd out could use a little less bass... it sounds weird.
I like the build up.
Drop needs a sub bass... It's not the best of your drops.
Progression is good :D
This part kinda varies from the beginning and thats good
I like this piano part. Nice and peaceful.
Another nice buildup.
Wasn't expecting that snare pattern lol
Again drop needs sub bass.
It's a pretty good track! I can tell you mastered it well because it's pretty loud. It seems pretty generic, but there isn't much wrong with that. Mostly I'd say it could be a little bit more energetic and use more bass. Thats probably just me but whatever, I hope you take my advice as constructive xD You usually give my songs massive reviews... Idk how but I'm doing my best here :P
gud job m8.

-Z

Falsesouth responds:

The sub is too low.. but it's there. I will work harder on the bass aspect of my tracks. The piano is sidechained, not EQd but okay.

Thanks again Z!!! Better reviews come with more experience, but you got most of the points that the track needs improvement on, so that's good.

[Comets - Dreadnought]

Noah there weird vocals xD
Nice buildup. Fuk the intro!!
Uhm... this drum is interesting but could use way more bass. What synth out of curiosity?
Like dis part after the drop.
Only problem is its really repetitive...
Oh spoopy trumpets 8)
I like that wonky snare
Nice buildup!
I don't like those vocals much lol
This drop could use more bass again.
So wonky 8))))))))))
Overall, the drops could use more bass, it could be a bit less repetitive (I started loosing interesting around halfway through the second drop) and thats about it xD
Good job mate. You're improving fast :O

[EnV - Microburst]

OOO a new one I haven't heard!! :D
This beginning is giving the chills!
Can't really tell what genre this would be, but I like it. It's nice and catchy!
Melody reminds me something of a adventure video game.
The only thing I don't like is that grimy bass noise in the background, but thats probably just me so I won't dock stars for that.
It did seem a bit repetitive but that doesn't really affect the quality of the song.
Nice job Env!! :D

[EnV - Anubis]

Interesting track. It's not your usual house style, but I still like it. It's pretty unique. Buildup could use more white noise, but damn... that whistle before the drop... :P
Gud job!

[EnV - Dynasty]

You just uploading all your Dynasty EP songs to NG now? Well... I was waiting for that xD What about trifecta? The Dusty Dragon Temple is a really good one...
Anyways, nice track. I can't really find any flaws in this one except that it's kind of repetitive. Repetition in house is usually good, so I won't dock stars for that. Good job m8 :D

[EnV - Reign]

Wow ur alive... I'm happy to see it :DD
I like this melodic DnB stuff. Beginning could use more bass but thats probably just me lol.
Thanks for posting this on NG :P
