DJ-Zyzyx's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Microcosm]

I hear the classic GeoPlex progression :3

I feel like the drop could have used a bit more white noise building up to it and during the impact :P

I like the little "PloK" sounds, though I feel they are too loud. They seem much louder than the drums and everything else. This may just be me, but it's what I'm noticing.

I actually just copied and pasted this from what I said to you on SC lol xD have a good day mate! :D

Geoplex responds:

Haha you too man. Thanks for the feedback! I wasn't sure how loud to make the little donk/plok sounds. In actuality, they're much quieter than the drums, but because of how limiting works (and the fact that they play on their own) they probably sound a little louder.

Cheers :)

[Equilibria - Plerion (Preview)]

Interesting dude :OOO

Dylnmatrix responds:

Thanks :D

[ParagonX9 - Chaoz Fantasy [Remake]]

It actually sounds really nice. I don't really like this simple type of EDM music, but this is pretty good. I like the varied end. It's better than the original in some ways I guess. The original has a disappointing end, when I wish it had another drop. This one needed more white noise and maybe a background synth.

AvizuraNG responds:

Lol, I wouldn't go as far as saying that mine's better than the original. But thanks a lot!

[Deadbeat]

Cymbal in the beginning is too loud :P
The beginning seems kinda cluttered.
The drop could use a bit more bass, it also sounds really left ear focused.
I think the noises could be less compressed by the crashes, it nearly makes it silent.
It's not bad. Good job. But it seems to have quite a bit of mixing problems :P
Maybe thats just me, or maybe my headphones are too good, idk

[Game Buddy]

I wish it had a dubstep drop, it seems like something that would /: but otherwise amazing job. This is pretty danque!! :D

Ipsiom responds:

I couldn't for the life of me figure out what kind of drop I should give it so I kinda just left it since it was sitting on my computer for a couple months or so. :)

[Jomekka - Eighto [Complextro RMX]]

WARNING: Surprisingly enough this is my opinion :OOO

Okay, so right off the bat, I can hear you sampled the song, by adding in a somewhat generic house beat over the guitar in the beginning. It's okay I guess.
Nice placement of the vocal samples. It's pretty funny :P
This drop suffers from a lack of direction, it seems so random, and the sound design could be a lot better. Those supersaws seem week, they need some detuning and more reverb. It also needs more bass, in my opinion.
Nice placement of Rito's screams! :P
I got bored around the second part of the drop. It seems like it lacked variation from the first part.
I really like this piano part, it's my favorite part of the song.
Aw, I was expecting a second drop. That was very AntiClimactic :C
Overall: The song is pretty unique, I have to say. And it's very funny that you placed the vocal samples in. But there were lots of issues I had with the drops, mainly because they seemed bland and lacked power. That could be achieved by better sound design, more bass, and compression. Also, it needed a second drop. I think the end leaves people a little disappointed, since it builds up a lot to nothing. I understand you aren't an expert at this, neither am I. I probably can't do much better than this. But I think this deserves a good 3 stars. Cya Etzer! :D

Your mate,
