NikolaosTheDark's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[StartBurst - You Need Me v1.2]

Now THIS is electro.

For a work in progress, I hope I get to see the final draft. Good club banger, this.

[4one - Surrealism (Teck071Rmx)]

Well executed.

This is a prime example of good remixing: Bringing the song to a whole new style while still holding the beauty of the original.

I'm getting into DJing soon, and I was initially going to exclude this from my setlist. I have a three-minute minimum for each song with very few exceptions. This is one of those exceptions.

5/5.

[Submergence - Unity]

Good producing, good composition...

...but in this particular instance, I think the song needs to be more...moving, for lack of a better word. This could mean dynamic contrast, it could mean effects such as phasing and filtering. But I think the song needs more life. Other than that, fantastic job. 4/5.

Submergence responds:

I understand what you're saying. Good stuff to have in mind while putting together our next mix. Thanks for the review.

[{Dj-L} My Punishment (Nustyle)]

Could have been better.

My main complaint is the kick. I just don't think that a traditional preset kick would work for this song. A filtered kick + sub-bass combination would work best.

4/5.

Meonly70 responds:

Um, the bass during the melody is the main kick and is exactly what you said, the other intro kick is just for the intro.

[Cerrie - Pyramid]

It's not a bad song...

...but more depth really would have given the music wings.

4/5. See if you can give more to the song.

[Acid Paradox - B.B.B.]

Even for electro...

...I felt that the chords could have used more depth. Still, nice work.

Acid-Paradox responds:

Thanks for the advice!

[Brinksmanship]

Great in composition...

...but needs some effects. Badly.

From the posts below, it seems like you guys are financially strained. If you guys do ever get round to souping up the software and learning how to use some effects, please come back to this song and throw some in there.

[{SD} - Crystal Rays]

I'm on the fence about this one.

It just sounds like you took the instruments and patterns from The FL Studio Demo "Moholithic Filter" by Scott Fisher and re-sequenced them.

[Sini - New Morning]

Very nice.

This would make a good song for a video game soundtrack, let alone a club song.

If you had to change anything, I'd see about bringing the other percussion (snares, cymbals) out more, and possibly adding in more cymbals altogether.
