Rave4Yourself's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[In The Beginning (ClubEdit)]

I really like that bassline.

that epic-ish bass is sweet. oooo, gets even better.

maybe put some reeverb on the clap and hihats, just so they can sort of fall into the rest of the song a bit while the reeverbed-bass is going on.

I like the vox.

lol, happy melody, pretty cool. oooooo, that bassline is awesome i'm telling you.

this is SOOOOOOOOOOO commercial, but i love it, lol.

good job.

DJDeZ responds:

Thanks alot mate.

DJ :: DeZ

[Fantasy (Radio Edit)]

lol, slow trance.

haven't heard any of this for a while.

nice synth, i like the mood this song sets.

whats that beep thing?

lol, FL vox, :P

nice melody, sounds kind of messy though..?

kick has to be harder man. bass is nice though.

percussion is different but its pretty cool and creative. sorta break-beatish.

nice, check out my stuff if you have the time.

DJDeZ responds:

Cheers mate.

Although i'm fully against this song, i actually made a mistake uploading it.

I dont use FL by the way.

Reason 3 and no midi keyboard. :)

I'll check out your stuff.

Cheers.

[{dj-N} Maelstrom]

Hardtastic.

Lol, make a track called that, :P

oooo, i hope this can have a nice, climactic bassline drop in it. You know what i mean? the bass is like normal>up>normal>lower, after a certain point in the track, you could have the bassline completely drop like 2 keys (semitones? whatever, :P) and i think it'd be cool. I do however like that ultimate-bass nonsense break thing, lol, it was pretty hard.

XD nice job.

LOL, we should collab and call the track "Hardtastic" :P its an idea, ;)

dj-Nate responds:

Hardtastic it is.

[{dj-N} Come With Me [MiX]]

Ooo. Nice.

At first i thought that 4-kick would just randomly enter, but it sorta swept in. I dont like how you cut off that happy hi-pitched synth in the intro. it was playing then you cut it off, then it came back. i say cutoff-automate it to filter out, then have it blast in with a crash/kick thing.

So far so good, sounds faster? nice, lol. Also a bit repetitive, but thats how the original is i guess (wait, isnt the original a REMIX? lol) plus, the bassline changes help to tone down the reptitiveness.

So far so good, nice snares, real hard, i like dat. You should've/could've put in a snareroll and then a huge break where everything just goes nearly-silent, and then your own remixed melody comes in and ownz everything to da GROUND.

but ya, guess not, :P some tracks need breaks man, i learned that the hard way (1 out of my 50-60 tracks has breaks, :( )

so ya, nice. For NG especially, and so lamely commerciall-ish, :P but ya, pretty cool man.

Next time in a remix, i'd add my own dash of pepper to it, to spice it up , u know? :P

sorry lame joke, lol.

umz, good luck in the signage world, wish me luck too, its not like im signed yet either, :( :O

o and your synths = :D

dj-Nate responds:

Wow, LONG review, thanks for that. Thanks a WHOLE lot. Good luck to ya in the "signage" world, lol. ;]

[DJ DaVinster - Eclipse [DEMO3]]

Dude!

C'mon man! I loved that intro, reminds me of something from some high-energy trance album or whatever, or Cosmic Gate, :P

But then you just THREW in a kick? Just for kicks? :P no pun intended, lol.

Btw, thats vansterguard ain't it?

Dude c'mon man, btw, WHERE IS THE BASSLINE DROP???? this track would sound so much better if the bassline dropped after the other half of the melody like 3 notes or something.

Ewwww, :( sorry man. too much vanguard and kickiness, cant take it, :(

good try i guess though. Just, next time when you start out with a melody like that, throw a pad in instead, then make the bass fade in or smoething, THEN stop it, and burst in with the full beat or something, never just THROW a kick in, :(

check out my stuff btw, :D if you have the time, :D

DJ-DaVinster responds:

Thanks for the tips, and yes, I do have Vanguard in there.

I have your Audio page in my favorites; you're the greatest DJ EVER!

If you want, you can try & help me out with all of that.

Thanks for your time,
-DJ DaVinster

[{dj-N} On Fire]

Haha, pretty neat.

On Fire, nice, :P

Definitely doesn't sound like commercial/mainstream/underground trance, lol, more like NG trance. I like your synth, really powerful. But sorta ...sytrus-ish? I dunno, maybe add some reeverb or something.

Cool, sounds pretty packed in tight. All those synths and basses and everything I mean.

Cool melodies, although really remind me of B0UNC3, lol.

Good hard kick, <:D

>XD keep it up.

ewwwwwwwww, ending. where that kick goes right with the bass or something, sounds really weird for some reason, lol.

check out my stuffffffffffffffff, z when you have the time! :O

later dood.

dj-Nate responds:

Ewwy, I HATE Sytrus. Makes me GAG, lol. Thanks for the review Mr. Sasha. I'll check some more of yo stuff now =]

[<Opulentus>]

Pretty cool so far.

I like the gate, that intro kick was loud and unmastered though, lol. Haha, sweet, i hear an anthem.

This is pretty sweet man, just needs SEVERE mastering lol.

Alright, that was my review, lol. Unless this gets better? :O :D

Pretty dark, but pretty cool.

Dj-Ene responds:

For once I have to disagree. maybe it has something to do with the newgrounds version. But I like to have my kick in front and loud, I always try to not make it too loud so it becomes distorted. but aslong as it don't get that it can't be too loud in my oppinion:)

My music is a bit loud and that is the point. I think many submissions here on newgrounds is too quiet with exeptions ofcourse.
So I'm probably not gonna change this one.

Right... /endrant lol:P

thanks for the review anyways.

SolusLunes responds:

Well then, watch as I proceed to do better :D

[Sukidez]

lol, sytrus, :P

First "true" song? What does that mean? lol. Anyway, i'll give a quick review, due to the fact that i dont have alot of time on my hands.

+ sounds in-tune
+ you used necessary trance FX, such as buildups (the snare roll), etc
+ you have a fairly decent trance/song structure going on here
+ nice synths, even though they're presets
+ nice extra melodies you added on throughout the song
+you seem to have kept your volume at a pretty reasonable level, definitely a plus

- kinda boring
- doesn't really sound like trance, :(
- no main melody really
- kick is WAY to weak, EQ it a bit

= Overall pretty neat, at least its in-tune, thats not how my old/sytrus stuff was, lol. It was just messy clicking really, :P

Anyways, i have a new account with new stuff, i've had it for a while and have been improving and adding onto it as much as possible, if you have the time, i'd love it if you could leave a review or two for me, Thanks.

:D

Smokey responds:

True song because other songs made on a crappy online dealy... cept for one which was just so people could tell me how to get better. And I really really never know what genre something is... i just guess lol. And the pads (err synth or whatever you called it) i made in a vst. But yea i have trouble with main melody :( Thanks for the review :) i appreciate any and all...

[FXU|M!D - The Four Seasons]

...Hard.

:D

but hurts my ears a bit, :(

!!!! check out my stuff, :P

Fxuem responds:

....Hard....? (confused)

At the moment, my audio doesnt work on my computer, so I cant really listen to any music at all. I will as soon as I get this damn thing fixed.

If It hurts your ears, I think you might want to turn it down... just a liiiiiiitttttllllleee bit.

Thanks for the review dude.
