Xyirx's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lets have fun]

Sorry, it's not Drum and Bass. ^^;

I'm sorry, but I don't know which genre this one really falls in. It would be techno, I guess. The beat is OK, but they seem too repetitive and not expressing enough joy yet. If you can add more instruments and master it some more, I'm sure it'll turn out well.

davada responds:

Thanks for the review. Unfortunately, all my songs that I made I did at my friends house (he had FL7) and he moved away. So untill I can scrape up enough money for either reason or FL for myself, I'm stuck unless theres something almost as good thats free.

[!llusions - Bahdshah]

Mixtures of the chemicals.

Um, I'm not that good in giving comments, but I think your song flows quite smoothly, despite the style changes all the way from the beginning till the end.

Beats are enjoyable. Well done on mastering.

[(DJ Martcore) Party time!]

Surrounded.

A lot of joy filled in the piece. I feel like being in sport stadium somehow because of the loud bell ringing in the beginning and throughout the song, plus cheering crowd. The basic things for dance song are down, so everything sounds complete.

[(DJ Martcore) The violet sky's]

Dark, full, and reverberated.

The intro is very dark and you feel like trapped inside a cramped space. (That's how I feel.)

Vocal sounds quite good, well-reverbed but could be a little shorter and you could also give a little more effects on the pad, imho. For melody, it's repetitive as trance song should be, but try creating more melodic melodies (catchy ones) and this would be even more enjoyable. I like piano solo part though.

Over all, it's a good song. I enjoy listening to it a couple times without stopping. :)

[Rose At Midnight]

Sounds like "An Army of One"

I love the melody itself as an intro, making an interesting hookup until you reach the second part of the song (around 0:24) which I like it very much, especially if this is used in battle theme. This song reminds me of your "An Army of One" and also a little bit in FF9 Battle Theme. But over all, I still like your guitar--the way it plays and the way it gives out the feelings/imagery.

NemesisTheory responds:

Army of One, I totally forgot that song XD
I can hear where you're drawing comparisons from as it was a real RPG inspired track too.

I'm glad you likes! :D

[-{EP}- Orchestral Attempt]

Whoa.

A very smart blending of electronica and orchestra indeed. Imho, the loops sound really smooth and the melodies are well written. You sure have a great idea on how to play the different instruments together and make this song as epic as it should be.

ErikPaladin responds:

I like it when you like it, lol \o/

[-{EP}- Tell me Why RMX]

Smooth and soothing

The introduction might be a little rough, but the rest of that, you make it so professionally. I like the vocal too (though it could be less reverb'ed in some parts), very clear and strong. Pads/bass/melodies all fit together very well. I couldn't feel that it's 5 min long!! Very well done, all in all.

ErikPaladin responds:

I liked the introduction, but I have to agree with you that the vocal is a little over-reverbed. Sorry about that =D

Thanks for enjoing it \o/

[.:=Phoenix Chronicles - Ep2=:.]

Nicely done over all.

I see that you've got the clear visual in mind, so you can make the music that is quite "lucid" in telling the picture, though I'd like it to have an apparent peak somewhere in each episode of yours. :) Over all, it's nicely done.

I guess the choir is a sample, is that correct?

Draqo responds:

Nope. Close though.

Thanks for the review. :)

[.:=Phoenix Chronicles - Ep1=:.]

Beautiful.

I sense the looping of chords over and over again, yet they tend to create the mood and the visual in my mind. Nicely done on the so-called Arabian Desert theme.

Cool timpani roll. :)

[/M: Obsession Of Force 1.2]

Nicely done on effects, but little flaw there. :)

I like how the beat goes, with all the pads and other effects running on the background. Filled with pace and energy, I listened till the end of the song patiently. I like it, but I have a suggestion--from 2:10 onward, the saws (I'm not sure this is what you call it) are quite loud, and they start to attack each other's melody--destructive, not constructive, in simple words. The rest sounds better than the first one, mainly on the gate effects and other details you've put in.

Mich responds:

Thanks for constructive criticism :p
Maybe I should have mastered a little better near the end :D
The new version is mostly to replace the weak end of the first version :p

Thanks for the 9!
(also stay in touch, I'm working on a new dance/trance track (haven't really figured it out what it's going to be)
