Rave4Yourself's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[SJ - Saturn Reactor]

I'm telling you man

You're starting to become the only person I trust for good dnb on newgrounds now. Everything else either has weak drums, drums that dont make any sense, or you can tell the artist came from the 'newgrounds trance' background *cringes*

SteakJohnson responds:

hahaha i always cringe at that trance background dnb too lol, glad ya like it

[xKore-Muff(djhoohaaRmx)]

the crispness of those drums..

gives me a bo-.... uh... they sound good. Love that beep sound. Hahhahaa bam when the beat drops in i love it. Great, i may have to DL and store this. Sickness, thank you for the sick beats, keep making them! not to mention this track actually seems like a close-to-full/full track. Love how it drops into full-on crisp chaos. Love it, ima subscribe to this, or whatever.

djhoohaa responds:

lol cheers for the support xD

[Liquid dnb wip]

dude below me is right

the drums get a bit messy, i think you need to seriously make the kick and snare stand out more in the mix, it would really help the beat to sound punchier and clear, or rather if the beat was punchy and clear itd sound more energetic, cmon take a tip from Noisia and Spor the artists you (unintentionally? :P) mimic (in a good way, trust me), their beats are a MESS, that sounds AMAZING, because its supa sharp beats, not a bunch of samples thrown together hoping it sounds good. Still good stuff man, keep it up.

SteakJohnson responds:

thanks for the tips, on the main beat i have that hat/noise layer waaay too loud and trebley thus the kick+snare hiding.
the spor/noisia imitating is pretty intentional sometimes, but i definately have preference differences from them lol i hate most of their songs but love their beats+bass

[SJ - Daybreak]

drums sound unpolished

its like a mess of sound rather than the sparkle of a good rushy beat. maybe you used some strange compression or something? all I can say is at the vol im listening at (real quiet) i cant easily make out kicks versus snares, but then again im on a laptop. just something to think about tho, but i trust your final mixdowns are much better than wip yea? good energy in this track nonetheless, tho i still feel like the drums tho they SOUND energetic seem to be more of a mess, too muddy maybe. im not sure.

SteakJohnson responds:

yeah they are quite messy lol, making crazy beats sound good is fricken hard woth ipod earbuds

[Untitled Drumstep Demo Xsvrsky]

wow

this is pretty sick, keep up the good work. I almost feel the need to download this.... we'll see.

Xayro responds:

Will do, bro. Thanks for the vote and review. I might release this on the site later down the road if I ever finish it. If more people like it, I'll definitely bump it up on my to-do list.

[SJ - Crossfire]

nice fills

would love some continuous fills though that you can just listen to all day long though

SteakJohnson responds:

yeah lol the fills are really the only decent part of this one

[Farmer Johnson's Cows]

This must be...

...What dubstep sounds like.

SteakJohnson responds:

its beyond dubstep now, totally out of control

[Time (MessenjaH Dubstep)]

hahahaha nasty

You're right this is better than that Max Burtin guy's remix (Time DUBstep). Only probably with this as opposed to his is it sounds like the bass isn't growly and destructive enough. Love what you've done with the rolly tappy percussion though, really makes an effect on the song, gives it that "ch-tk-ch-tk-ch-tk-ch-tk-ch-tk-ch-tk-
" static sound. Sweet stuff, just work on making your basses really blow out, they sound too empty and that may be where your remix went awry and his didn't.

SoLoR1 responds:

fer sure man, thank you for the very effective comment, i will deffinetly work on the drops and such, got much more coming and the drops have been my main focus point, so keep an eye out.

[5 minute song chalenge bro]

Need to work on the drums and voice a bit.

...Lol. Love your stuff dude, the beats you make throw you into my 'gotta check this guy's stuff out regularly' group. Keep listening to Spor and Noisia :D

SteakJohnson responds:

thanks man, this was just for laughs lol

[Rig - Am I Cool Yet?]

You uh...

Gave me goosebumps.

whoa, they're still going haha

Yea I think you're cool now. This is sick, please please make more, this is so sick dude.

Rig responds:

It needs to get rest and take plenty of liquids
