NikolaosTheDark's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[Shpunken in den Arscha {rec2}]

Pretty good.

This song had a minimalist/electro house feel to it.

However, if you wouldn't mind recording again, see if you can add just a -few- more drums in to secure that "house" feeling.

[Welcome to my House]

Good overall.

There are very few songs that define house music the way this one does.

However, the kick is bugging the crap out of me. I personally think that you need something with more punch to it and less bass.

[Sonic Spinball - Toxic Rave]

Fantastic job.

That's a great take on the Toxic Caves theme.

However, might I suggest using a different kick? I think a kick for trance purposes is much more suitable. If you manage to find a good kick to replace the current one with, the song will be perfect.

PaulyBFromDa303 responds:

One of the hardest things making this song was finding the best bass . . . but a lot of people like the one I used. That's ok, everyone's got their opinions and I thank you for your honesty.

The selection I had for bass kinda sucked . . . like theres only one that suited it. All the rest of them you couldn't really hear lol. I totally need a new program.

Oh well, thanks for the review

[Soviet National Anthem [8-Bit]]

Well done.

The 8 bit drums were unique without destroying the beauty of the original song. This is difficult to do, and you executed it well.

[Grim Grinning Ghosts (Rem]

Wow.

I didn't know that Deadmau5 submitted to Newgrounds. X 3

In all seriousness, though, you have his style, and you might be using the same drum kit that he uses.

[SN | Once Again | SN]

Nothing wrong with composition here.

Just quality issues, as mentioned in previous comments.

SessileNomad responds:

agreed

[Raveland]

It would have been perfect...

...if the kick drum wasn't eating up the other instruments like Pac Man. X 3

See if you can do something about it. If you ever do revise this version, contact me. I'd love to throw it into my setlist.

Airprogressive responds:

thanks!
good suggestion! I'm not sure about doing a new version of this track, but if I finally do that, I would tell you!

[~DT~ 6 Moon Eclipse]

Great job...

...but a lot of depth is missing. If you ever want to go back to work on this track, consider adding some middle frequencies, pads/strings, and/or more hi-hat/cymbal rhythms. A rhythmic low frequency might help as well, but it's not something that you'd die without.

Keep making Trance, my friend.

DeatHTaX responds:

Right on man. Thanks for the insight. I appreciate it :D

[{Dj-L} Essence of Creativity]

The song sounded somewhat...

...stale. That's the best way I can put it. It has the potential to be something brilliant, but it just doesn't have as much oomph to it. It's hard to explain.

One thing to definitely add is some hi-hat rhythms. It really adds depth to the song.

Meonly70 responds:

Well If i had another +2 years of experience like all the Big names on NG, it would sound much different.
