SASKID's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tranccce]

Very interesting sounds and buildup

Everything blends nicely

2 things, you need a more powerful low end bass kick and lower the volume of the snare.

Brilliant work so far :D

[The End is Near (Refix) (HS)]

You are totally out of your league kid...

You never go backwards, always progressing. You've improved so much since we first discovered each other. The score since my 5 button is now:

4.67/5.00

Says it all, your drums as always are absolutely fantastic. Mastering is top notch! The vocals are a little loud, but they are not peaking above any other important parts like bass and kicks.

Your melody is fantastic and i don't think it sounds flat at all. It isn't exactly the most crisp sound i have ever heard. I think the reason it may SOUND flat is the overpowering kick, but thats what hardstyle is about isn't it ;)

Amazing once again and i cannot wait to hear more stuff Zexus, you never fail to impress me :)

Dj-Zexus responds:

This is possibly the greatest review I've ever received.
Very uplifting.
Thank you. ;D

I just got a new PC And sound system.
New tracks on the way. >:3

[Bliss harmony]

Only one complaint.

The EQ on your bells needs to be lowered at the high end and maybe turn the reverb down a little. It's a litte overpowering. Put the piano is lovely and the drums are fair. Maybe add a different snare/clap into the mix.

[Weird Atmo[Sphere]]

Pretty good attempt.

Good wobbles.

Get VEC 1, 2 and 3. Vengance essential club sounds. Loads of wav samples :) for drums and fx.

EmptyCell responds:

I have all VEC, but I heard, someone create a dupstep samples but who thats still a question... :D

[Dance is Good For You]

Good attempt

Drums are spot on, leads are fine and the mastering isn't too bad. The bass is the main concern.

The bass should not follow the lead so much. Try making an 'offbeat' bass and adding that to future dance and trance songs you make. It'll help a lot :)

Shigimatsu responds:

Oh thanks a lot for the advice! I want to keep writing dance.. it's fun! I usually write more experimental/dnb stuff.

[Aftermath (Hardstyle)]

Pretty good.

Your piano part sounds nice, but the notes should have been a minor key, as the whole song is a bit more minor, even though the lead goes between different keys. The lead is amazing though, best one you've written so far, i can't explain how it actually fits so well together. The chording if that is right about it. Is pretty perfect. Use this lead(s) more.

The ending is nice, especially the sound effects, and the drums are spot on, as expected from you :)

Dj-Zexus responds:

hey, thanks! ;D
I wrote the notes to the piano at like, 4 o'clock in the morning.
It sounded okay so I just went with it Lol.

Thanks for the review. (:

[Madness 4]

The best madness song.

Every song fits the flash so perfectly and you make some really epic shit. This is my favorite one though, really techno feel to it. I'm not writing a review, because this song should NOT be critisized in anyway.

Congrats on making the epic 'mad' music!

cheshyre responds:

Thank you!! Krinkels and I work really hard to make madness an enjoyable experience... Glad you like it!!

[Waveform (Hardstyle)]

Another 5/5 from me :)

I agree with TuRdz. The structure of your songs are fantastic.

I love the way a nice calm drum pattern meets a fierce bass and then a simple melody line, makes you wondering what happens next.

Your transitions and fills are fantastic. I also love the way you incorporate a little bit of trance into this song with the piano, it sounds perfect and well eq'd and the perfect amount of reverb.

This is the part i like in your songs where it kicks into the hardstyle part with the main melody and lead. Again another fantastic composition.

Then it ends the same way it started.

Absolutely fantastic possibly your best to date :)

Dj-Zexus responds:

I always enjoy getting reviews from you. (:
Thanks for the feedback, bro.
I really appreciate it.

[Sunset [Demo]]

Need moar sooner

Not your usual style, i was surprised. But it sounds pretty good, what guitar did you use, sounds midi-ish.

Drums sound better when the snare is playing later into it.

Let me know when you bring something else out, i find it hard to keep up with everyone D:

ioneofmany responds:

Thanks! I used RealGuitar2 for the guitar sound... If you have any better ones, then please let me know. I'll let you know when I release stuff! Sorry for forgetting mannn D:

:)

[Redemption intro]

Sick

Fucking graduate already and get back to producing awesome songs! I don't hear enough from you it's depressing. Great breakbeat and dark atmosphere, GET YOUR GIRL TO SING IT!

The melody that starts there is mysterious and fits so well.

Hit me up on FB when you're bringing new stuff out!
