DJ-Zyzyx's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Shockwave]

This song is 99% loops. Come on, what is happening to Newgrounds /:

Pryzmalynk responds:

I actually am ashamed of this song XD I'm not the best out there and never expect myself to be. I'm waiting for a new program. But in the mean time don't expect my songs to be very good.

[Deathmatch]

Nice job. This piano is nice!
I don't have much to say, except what Infinity and Ember said. NEVER use Unison basses, they usually don't fit in your mix well. Basses sound way better in Mono.
Good luck in the Contest mate. You deserve a win! :D

Noisysundae responds:

Win what place? The last one? D:

Actually, using unison on the bass works sometimes, particularly when it's layered with another bass. Many faster pieces with house beats (hard trance, happycore, etc.) have it. However, it doesn't mean it does the job here.

[Skrillex - Kyoto [TacoMacho Remix]]

What the actual hell? WHY is this featured.

TacoMacho responds:

Because its really good

[ParagonX9 - Chaoz Fantasy [Dubstep RMX]]

The violin at the beginning seems a tiny bit harsh, maybe the high end could be cut a tiny bit!
I like this piano. Very smexy.
The breakdown is so ominous.....
I think these drums are a bit loud. I don't like this lead much but thats just me probably lol XD
The build up needs more white noise and high pitched things :P
This drop is interesting... I recognize some basses from Reactionary.
It sounds kind of cluttered, like I don't really know what I'm listening too, at this part where the drums speed up I mean.
I like the breakdown with the little flute thing. (I hear you used the rain ;P)
I like this second drop better than the first one!
Again, when the drums speed up it sounds crowded.
So many little GD references! Gives me nostalgia tbh
Overall great job. Mixing could be better, but those drops were pretty phenomenal. You're getting better! :D

EtzerGD responds:

yea I agree that the speed up parts are somewhat cluttered. I wanted to shift the tone of the piece somehow but it didn't really maintain enough composure to work how I wanted it to.

[Toby Fox - Megalo Strike Back [Glitch/Electro Swing]]

Mastering and mixing could be better, but this is funky AF :D

[American Joy in C]

Apple loops /: Come on mate... Loops aren't allowed on newgrounds.

Davidgotskill responds:

I dont know what ur talking about. Ive never heard that. Loops are how u make a song. Tell me where it says loops are not allowed. I know that sampling is not allowed. That is against the law if you dont meet copyright. Other than that i have never heard that. I know many people on NG that use loops. Waterflame and Xtrullor use loops so tell me where.

[Vexento - Far Away]

Nice use of ambient noises. Thats something a lot of music artists don't take into account! This is also super chill, I love dat sax. I don't here much of your usual style in this, but it's good to be unique! Also, those vocals, is that you? They're very nice. The chorus seems a little random, it could maybe use just 1 main instrument. It just sounds a little cluttered, but thats probably just me. Good job mate, I really enjoyed this one!

[Vexento - Spirit]

Complextro eh? I like that genre. I can hear your usual style in this one. It's little less prominent, but it's enough that I notice it! I like the little guitar noises and such. Very creative! :3

[Vexento - Tevo]

Isn't 'Russ house' like the sort of alan walker style? Cuz I'm pretty sure I read about it on his song "fade". I really like this new style, it makes me want to dance :D I can't wait to hear more of this from you!!

[Duck Escape]

It starts off catchy!! Wow :3 This intro part with the drums seems like it has a lot of bass... it could be a tiny bit quieter.
Part with the "quacks" could use some high end :P
Dubstep isn't exactly your strongest genre, but the drop isn't bad.
Personally I dislike these basses, but that may just be me so I won't dock any stars.
The mastering is really good. Nice and loud track.
I like how you change the melody at this part.
I like the second drop more than the first one, though I think I think the basses could be a bit different. They sound a bit harsh.
Overall, nice job. Your mastering and mixing is pretty much on point. Though I don't like some of the noises, it may just be me like I said earlier. Also, you got any house songs WIP? I really like those :3

Quack Quack, -Z

DJVI responds:

Thanks for your great review! I'm actually making a new house track and it should be pretty awesome :)
