NikolaosTheDark's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Radiance (Demo Version 3)]

I know that you've probably heard this before...

...but this has a fantastic Daft Punk feel to it. I would've preferred a -little- less upper piano, but overall, it's a masterpiece.

Xayro responds:

Oh wow, I haven't heard that before. I'm a huge fan of Daft Punk (Voyager is one of my all-time favorite tracks). I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I'm working on more piano-involving stuff, and there'll probably be a preview of a new song soon.

[-Impact-]

Well-made house track.

Not club-friendly IMO, but definitely good for relaxing to.

RAVEN responds:

Hey NikolaosTheDark, thanks for the review. I can't imagine this being played at a club either, but POSSIBLY at some sort of summer dance party on the beach, like Ibiza or something. Just how I feel about it. Thanks again buddy! Real sorry for the incredibly late review.

[Guitar vs Piano (8bit)]

Do you use FL Studio?

If you do, you can get hold of a fairly small but decent cache of 8-bit drums through the FPC utility. If not, you can probably get the samples from someone else.

Still, good song.

pheel responds:

I did.
Yeah I've used the videogame kits on different submissions of mine but the sound never really went well with this song. It was weird :/

But thanks for your input and thanks for reviewing :)

[Hide and Seek {Techno Mix}]

The things you can do...

...when an electronic music track is added. Well done, good sir. This deserves to be on the Top 30.

fishfood2021 responds:

Then keep voting it a 5 :)

[DJF!- About Our Music]

YES!

I can't get enough hard bass. It's nice to see it on Newgrounds.

Anyway, I'd recommend that you add on another melody with the same chord structure; I don't know if you're already in the process of doing that, but it would fit.

XXMisterFiyahXX responds:

Good to see someone else likes it as well! Yeah, I might make another melody with this, as this is still a WIP. Thanks for the input!

[Penguin Collision]

Nice to see a fellow hard bass artist...

...especially an American. You know, I'd recommend keeping the fact that this is your first time mastering a secret -- you might fool some people.

As for the song name: "Shuffling on Air" sounds good to me.

SigmaSpore responds:

YEAH HARD BASS!, although im not very stoked about being an american hardbass artist, its almost assuring me that ill never become famous

lol thanks i guess i did ok on the mastering, but i know i could have done much better, i just dont know how i would have...

i like the shuffling part of your title, but not the on air, mabye ill mix that with another title..

peace out, thx for review

[DJ Frosted - Dreamworld]

Good stuff, my friend.

This is worthy of the Top 30, if you ask me.

DJ-Frosted responds:

:D i hope everyone thinks like this! thanks man

[Break Even]

Pretty good.

I see that your first vote was a 1. I'll give you a bit of a boost.

Darkmoor responds:

thx man. Since this is my first attempt ever at this kind of music Im not suprised people giving me 0s and 1s

[0ne Night In The Club]

If you want a hardstyle song...

...atleast make the kick much more dominant or distort it. Otherwise, you're left with a trance/techno song.

If you want some distorted kicks, go ahead and go to the DnB Wiki and look in the downloads section. Take it from me -- those kicks are well-suited for the harder styles of electronic music. Be careful, though. Too much volume or too much distortion can cause pain in the ears.

Mushroomhead18nc responds:

Yeah I fullay agree.. ME Personally though.. I hate and dispise and distorted kicks.. I tryed to combine diferent kicks from the FL library but had no luck with that.. I probally could have raised the Kick level in this song though.. I thought about that after I uploaded it.. thanks for the review

[.:Life:.]

Pretty good.

It seems like the ideal song for a live performance if you want to get into that. If that's the case, I recommend making an extended edit. I personally don't know if I would've had the snare on two and four as opposed to a clap, but it's your song.

OPQC responds:

this was my TRY. i make the better ones, ''and exented edit''. this isn't my original style yet, so don't be disappointed yet!
