DJ-Zyzyx's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[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!

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. :)

[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.

Lockyn responds:

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!!
