Tearstone's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-B7- 7he Experiment]

Awesomesauce!

I like the overall composition of this track. I liked the way you used the standard trance chop for your track, though it does give it a generic feel as you said. Your bass synth and the synth you panned left sounded like 2 standard FL Studio synths, but that's not a bad thing. The bass was distorted on my DJ studio headphones, but I won't know until I take it home and put it into my studio system for certain. Overall though, it's a nice track. Great beat, excellent use of the mid and high ranges, good undertone and bassline. Keep up the awesomesauce.

Burn7 responds:

Thanks, the bass is distorted regardless of what speakers you use, and NG is currently stopping me from editing the track so I can put a new one up there that fixes the track compression. But thanks for the review!

PS: I didn't use FL at all, I use Acid and Pro-53 :P

[Call it Love - Champius Rmx]

Great

Now I'm chair-dancing!

Champius responds:

nice, thanks for reviewing! : )

[Makwo - HeadBang]

Interesting

This track is definately a different experience but good. Nice Screamish, and I recognize a lot of classic FL Studio sounds. It's a bit pre-fab but who cares. You're just getting started. It's certainly a better piece than my first submission.

It's got a dance main theme, feels a little like DnB at a couple spots but that's not a bad thing. I could certainly see myself screamin' down the freeway, listening to this track and cutting through traffic, and switchin' lanes and stuff. Good piece.

Look forward to more.

[WahWahRocket JumpWahWah]

It makes the baby jesus cry?

Yes, it definately was made in FL Studio. It was also made on-the-fly, and without much experience with the program, or what it's really capable of, or working with any sort of DAW. The guitars need some work, such as adding some reverb and tweaking the settings some, and taking the plucky type strings and turning them down, instead of making them overbearing and painful to listen to.

Maybe it's a first effort, and if that's the case, that's good... but this is a bit of early experimentation that probably doesn't belong on an open music forum, unless one is looking for heavy critique. If this is a piece of work that has taken months, and this is the best that you can come up with... seek help. There are a lot of people here, myself included, that use FL Studio, and can do some seriously sick stuff with it.

MrManuvid responds:

Thank you for your thoughts.

[A Melancholic Departure]

Melancholy

Omg, beautiful. Very very on the mark. I will probably use this when writing in one of my short stories. Very nice!

[X.-I Wanna Wake Up With Y]

Good

Yo, this song is pretty good. Very happy, upbeat, and bouncy. I like the noise lead, that's pretty good. The piano is a nice touch, keeps it very 'kids-ish'. Good job with the pads and the beat, and bass too. I think the lead could use a little bit of reverb.

What program do you use, and what VST was your lead.

XenoxX responds:

ok ok I will break it down

Strings - nexus with the dance orchestral expansion
Piano - hypersonic
bass - Blue v1.01
lead - Z3TA+
and if you want the kick and you have fl studio 8 in the browser go to

misc/Used by demo projects/Eternity add the kick is TE-LK-BD13 its in their

Anyways thanks for the review!

[{dj-N} Tears In My Eyes [MiX]]

Respect!

'Nuff said!

[Trance N Dance Loop]

Nice

I like this loop. If and when you get un-depressed, I would love to see where this goes, and perhaps get some tips from you. This is a gorgeous piece of audio.

[Boozer - the one (Janze RMX)]

Very Nice

I give this track a 10. It's very pumpy and bouncy like Basshunter, but the vocals gave it an Eifel 65 feel. Very nice touch. Did you get your inspiration from Basshunter or was it just coincidence Boozer?

DJ-Janze responds:

heh maybe :) the jumping rhytm is from the original song, boozers stuff, but my mix of the melody. thanks

[[ f ] Determination]

Nice

It's kinda Matrix meets Street. I like it. I say that though because of the background instrumentals, mixed with the beat. It's got an interesting feel, easy to chill to. Reminds me of training for a big fight, those few moments before leaving the locker room to fight, and when it's startin' to get down to do or die.

flashmac responds:

Yeah it kinda reminds of that too, haha. Thanks for the review man, I appreciate it.
