DJ-Zoysa's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Jazzy and unfinished]

the piano needs to sound more like a piano

not a subtractive kind of synth. give it a crisper feel, more reverb, and a bit of delay and ull be cooking

merlin responds:

They're cooking now! No worries my friend, this is a work in progress, and will be corrected in due time.

Regards,
merlin

[Kazmo - Delightful Sunrise]

this is just as good as

ur latest 2009 stuff. Maybe even better. THIS IS A GEM!!!

Kazmo responds:

I have to agree with you there :3

[Hopeku - Night FX]

buildup from 4:25

equals pure sex

hopeku responds:

haha thanks man. Glad your liked my uplift :)

[xKore - Time Flies (NG Edit)]

i hope you realise

this is house

as well as basicxally all of ur 2009 "trance" songs

i still love them though :D

xKore responds:

Pretty sure this is trance dode.

[Destiny's Betrayal]

this is techno

not trance

georgem124 responds:

this is techno... Techno? THIS! IS! SPEEDCORE!!!!!

this is actually speedcore trance. you can tell from the various gates and stecattos.

speedcore is a relatively new genre. its basically a cross between rave, trance and hardcore.

hense why its called speedcore trance...

[Don`t Give up -Remix-]

very interesting...

This is a really interesting song to listen to. When first hearing it the melody sounded a bit off beat, but then it flows into a natural kind of rhythm, then when the drumroll and new drumbeat comes in, it changes again and sounds even better. Really well crafted intro. At a first listen it sounds a bit jumbled up and all voer the place, but once u listen more carefully everything flows together REALLY REALLY nicely, and there are a lot of interesting sounds working at the same time to give it a really good atmosphere. I don't know if this was intentional or it just seemed to come out that way, but it shows a LOT of creative intuitiveness on your part.

I like the introduction of new sounds half way through the song, it keeps it fresh. What I would have liked to hear was a section that broke the song up into the 2 parts, where it was like a piano solo, with the bass in the background. Then the vocals playing a couple of times then it going "give it up, give it up, give it up, give it, give it, give it, give it, give it, give it, give it, give give give give give give give give give" with a drumroll, then the drumroll stopping and the vocal bit playing one more time, then the beat drops into the second part of the song. I don't know if you know what I mean by this :P it's VERY hard to explain xD

Overall a REALLY interesting song to listen to many times in a row, I really love the way everything flows and melds together so nicely but so uniquely. Great job!

DjMontana responds:

hey zoys...

To jump right to what u concluded ! i know what u mean.
hard to say the tippicle build with just the piano part on it`s own, underbuilded with the bass and vocals !!
I did not know exactly how to finish the track in wich direction ! so i took a left turn
halfway i tough mabey to try it like this.

Thnx for advice man ! :D i will keep it in mind.

[Halo-theme-Remix]

:D killtacular!

The thing I really love is the progression, it has some of the best progression i've heard in a while. just the way everything is so seemlessly strung together is a really nice touch :D

love the synth, and the buildup is really good, but i think the climax needed to be a bit more climatic. maybe some special effects that could lead into it and then a big "WOW" moment with an instrument to lead into the next part. im not too good at explaining things xD

the little extra bits u added in from that youtube video i sent you sound REALLY good with the delay

i actually REALLLLLYY like this :D

DjMontana responds:

Hey zoys...

Well thnx man ! i was afraid i made something that was not presetable at all.
I sometimes don^t get it what people expect from a remix, but the only thing they can do is tell what is wrong !!

The effects i used where a bit short like what u said, but i am starting from sratch because i lost all my data.
I will defently have more to add when i reorganize !!

Thx For comment and rating-

[[LK] Euphoria]

one word

generic

try something unique

honestly all the dance songs sound the same on newgrounds where is some variation?

LK412 responds:

I don't see a lot of dance songs with a huge emphasis on piano. Do you? I've only heard this type of break in just a couple of other songs.

W/e thanks for the review.

[From the Foreshadows (A->N)]

HOLY EFF

THIS IS AMAZING ;OOOOOOO

all the layers blend so damn nicely together and the drum is so great its there and its good to listen to but it doesnt get in the way of the great song
