Pulsar013's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Out of Sight (update3)]

Well this was good..........however.

Intro: Your intro was "ok", would have liked to see some big sweeps, you know some powerful "synth-tros". These things can make your track sound like professional trance, guarantee it. However if you were going for the light trancy feel , then I guess you succeeded - a bit too well.

Synth - IF you want "energy" in your track - best example ( Vol Deeman - Magnetica ) you have to have some "strong" bass synths - these can make a song - or they can break it. I think you should consider increase some db frequency and make it roll a little.

Piano - Usually I will speak about things that need improvement ( I think ) , but for this section I just want to great piano.

Kick - The kick is to the trance piece as the ball is to the game - even though you have it, you need to increase its db power. This def. helps in putting that bouncy feel, into traks - good for clubbin.

Other than that - I think your experiment is working out.

[Japanology]

For purposes of theme - u get a 5 - but for purposes of this being energy filled trance u get a 4 - normally I would give a huge review - but I think this is all for now.

[EzMa - Anabio]

Well - theres not much I can say except - this is more dancy than anything.

eimad-zamrik responds:

Ya it is!
Thanks for enjoying!

[What is Love|Electro Posi]

A remix huh?
Its good - but is it legal

[Norato - Aqua]

Veyr nice House - just wish U would have made evolve more.

[Infect]

This is is a very nice piece I must say.

Melody - The melody itself was quite uplifting, however it was still a tad bit repetitive.My suggestion would be to try and give a little of the melody away at the beginning, and then after your climax and the rest ( its a method used by the pro's ), it helps to build tension in your song.

Transitions - While I was not too amazed by your transitions, they were suffice. I would suggest adding, sweeps - I use them alot - they help trance pieces really build nice climaxes. You know the really powerful "swoosh" sounds you hear in progressive trance pieces? Also try and add a kick roll, these are pretty much mandatory in a trance song - they really increase tension - and their release is great.

Instruments - I see you used some variety of instruments - very nice piano set - , however I think it would have been better if you used some more than you did. Not saying that you have too, just that for a piece like this you might want to do that. Its still good with a few.

Mastering - I feel like your kick was below your major sounds, maybe if you could bring it closer to the db level of the rest of your instruments, would help. It just sounded a bit "fuzzy".

For now thats about it, I hope my suggestions will help.

Thank you for those reviews, it's really helpful!

[Casa de la Luna]

Melody is nice - but the pad intro is a bit lengthy. Im seeing a pattern here - this is also very light.

wulfsok responds:

Easy listening.. This series is more of a chill-out and trip out album set than a dance set. You gave me an idea though. Keep an eye for more releases.

This track is the opener to said album set, hence the lengthy intro =).

[The Ice Temple]

(Im not trolling your stuff ) Here - Im guessing you like adding a beat -boxy feeling to ur tracks. The intro begins very lacklustery - the melody is repetitive - and I see little evolution. However toward the end I see some - with the introduction of new instruments. But the song mostly stays the same.

wulfsok responds:

Still appreciate your reviews. I have the same problem listening to it.. I unfortunately used MASSiVE to synth that pad in the beginning, and my laptop is a bit on the shitty side. The VST CONSTANTLY crashes, waste of $300 so far =P. I have no studio.

And I love my beat production. It's fun and natural (NO LOOPS).

[Norato - Hearth beat]

When I heard those torpedo kicks - your transitions - I was waiting for a powerful uprising, but didnt get it. So I would suggest adding some db strength to your kick - so that transition will be more prominent.

Norato responds:

What ? Kick is laud as f*ck, it is even louder then lead, wich should not be. So my solution > Get better speakers OR check out your master EQ in your computer, it is posible that you have lowered 0-500 db so you hear the kick less loud then it actually is.

Any by the way, kick is compresed and re-mastered in Fruity EQ 2, I am 100% sure, there is nothing wrong with it.
