DJ-Zyzyx's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Xtrullor - Birth of the Sun]

Amazing job X. This is truly an amazing piece of art. You revolutionize dubstep, especially with those phaser basses of yours!! :D Keep making amazing music!

It's really a pretty amazing song mate. I pretty much already gave you my review over Skype lol xD Keep it up!!

[Verity]

This beginning, not bad :3
I don't really like this flute, probably just me.
The drums seem *kind of* loud.
This part seemed a bit... bland. The one with just the piano and snaps. Could use another melody. Also, I'm not sure if this is really "House". It's definitely tropical, but I don't think it falls under house.
Don't take my word for it, it just doesn't sound like a house song to me :3
Overall, kind of repetitive but all EDM songs are like that. It was pretty generic, not enough for me to not like it but yah. I kind of liked it. I just didn't like some of the instruments you used. May have just been me. But I rate a 3.5/5, For good track overall but just needed some minor fixes with mixing and EQing.

Ur d00d,

[EEK! + Lockyn - Glacier Galaxy]

Pretty nice, but I feel like the snare in the beginning is kind of muffled or not loud enough. Maybe thats just me, I'm super nitpicky when I listen to music :P But I love this melodic stuff. Good job Lockyn and EEK! That drop is amazing.

<3,

Lockyn responds:

Glad you enjoyed regardless!

[Thunderbolt]

Pretty Danque toon :P Nice basses! You are the house god, hopefully you bring house the popularity it deserves on newgrounds.

[Panther]

Nice intro. Reminds me something of Spag :P
OMG I'm a history nerd and I know what this dude is talking about 8)
Nice build up! Smexy
Omg smexy wobs! Some of the wubs sound louder than others and it's kinda... Weird but maybe that's just me :P I haven't made any dubstep really so Don't listen to me xD
Good track mate.

Ravitex responds:

Just gonna talk about the point that some sounds are louder than other sounds:

I am not some sort of audio engineering expert and honestly, I don't know why there seems to be such a difference on the volume levels of different sounds. In visuals (dB meters) it seems even, like I basically use a limiter on each and every sound, so in theory everything should be balanced, right? I even used compression on all the bass sounds, an equal amount of it too, so I don't know.

Anyway, done with that part.

Another thing that adds to this issue is using different sound systems. Listening to this through my headphones seems good, listening to this through my computer speakers seems good too, but listening to this trough my other, bigger and better Panasonic speakers seems odd. The difference of the volume levels is pretty clear.

So I don't know, form your opinion on that, I guess. I do realize that I'm supposed to optimize my songs for all sound systems, but I don't know.

I... don't know what to say. It's very good, and unique. A lot of the things I wanted to say/comment on were already said :P Amazing job 1nf1n1ty!!

[3MBER - Strawberry Sky (Karaplex Remix)]

Actually pretty nice. I enjoyed the vocal noises. Sounds a lot like something lockyn would make :3
And I LOVE this drop. So chill. Nice Sub.

Great job mate. 4.5/5! :D

[BurgeraX: Pentakill Remake (Different Heaven) [Dubstep]]

Very accurate :D
I hate these vocals... But that's just me :)
The drop is pretty accurate. I can hear the original playing in the background, I would suggest not doing that next time you make a song remake.
Good job though mate! Pretty accurate.

EruptionMusic responds:

yea same, and the drop doesn't play all the time either it's just some of the parts that helped
