Pulsar013's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Never Land]

More of beat box - but still strong. I think it would be nice if u shortened the piano intro, and a new melody with a stronger bass. Also put a long string of kicks with some clean claps.
Another thing - I think it would be better if tried and stretched the ending - unless that was intentional.

Thank you for your review and tips. It's much appreciated!

The Electronic Genre in itself has basic components which chracterize its greatness. One of the unifying instruments of trance is the Kick. The kick was extremely weak, I could not hear it. However if u were to increase the db power it would make a substantial difference. So many newgrounders dont have a strong enough kick - in their songs - its a common problem.

[Borealis - Trance WIP]

Well, this is needing some cymbals and claps ( louder ) i think.

[100 bpm chord loop (wip)]

I wish I could use that loop - for a trance remix. It really sounded great - just wish it was a song - with more instruments.

killerhoofd responds:

stay tuned :) it will be transformed into a song but then it will be 130 bpm

thanks !!

[Light (Original Mix)]

The kick - a little harder than "Sunset", but could you make it harder? That would make this even better. ( I know ive said this twice, but not trying to sound bossy.)

hypernewbie3 responds:

Hey man, thanks for the feedback!

I'll definitely watch out next time, make sure my kick isn't too soft.

[Sunset (Original Mix)]

Very nice - professional and clean - HOWEVER , ur doing progressive right?, that kick - make it harder. It was pretty light, I think it needs more db power. Around 4:00 that stretch needed a harder kick string.

[Sometimes I Dream]

This has the potential to be an amazing trance piece. However, right now it is SUPER weak. Why? Here are my suggestions - which I found to help me out. ( AND if u ever try and quote me, only look at my "Lost Solace - Preview", the rest of my stuff is from when I was just playing around )

Intro - U began extremely slow which is okay if ur going to speed up later, but that did not happen. Try 140 - 145 BPM.

Also with trance - u need to make things feel - crowded. Also get those chords some real reverb -they were dry.

U need to add some Cymbals, and also make those claps bigger.

And of course make those kicks strong ( use Soundgoodizer )
;)

Hey, Thanks for the review.

I agree about the kicks and the crowdedness. I don't have so much experience with kicks/cymbals yet. Though I have a song I uploaded today where I put alot of effort in the kick and cymbals (song: Hello). However in this song I forgot them or did not have enough experience for this genre song to apply them.

I think the BPM is a matter of opinion. I recorded the melody on the piano at about this BPM so it feels natural.

And about quoting you. I listened to "Lost Solace". And the song is right in the tuning, mixing, kicks, build ups EVERYTHING. But it doesn't give me that goosbumbs feeling, the feeling that songs give me when they come from the heart. And I hear this in alot of songs on newgrounds. It's the melody. I have a feeling you didn't record it from a keyboard or piano. The melody is weak. And that is what separates producers in the end. A good example of perfect melody "Deadmau5". Because people don't seem to understand what make's a good song and why.

[Lone X - Famine]

This needs to be a progressive track - u essentially began the beginning like a pad break like an intro which of course, i guess is creative style. However, from the perspective of most professional DJ's ( excluding myself) including TYAS or maybe even ALEX M.O.R.P.H., u really want to start the piece off by a string of kicks ( with power ). Also with transitions - I hear so many people using "dead" pauses as transitions - do not use those. Instead use a nice sweep. in place of a reverbkick - which I think u used. And finally for the ending make it strong - essentially break down the song by layers - if u understand.

Thats pretty much it.

Lone-X responds:

Thanks for the critique!

[The Ghoat - Raggerfla]

This is some really cool sounding - Techno/dance. I really feel like this is a heavy dance mix. Also try and - u know make a longer version.
