Sequenced's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-Legend-]

Shocking.

Wow, and I've always thought you only made dance stuff lol. I agree with SBB, the melody is sick. You should make a couple different movements with it, I see so much potential.

I haven't even started my composition yet, hopefully tonight. You are going to be a hard one to beat >;)

Step responds:

Thanks for the review!

"Wow, and I've always thought you only made dance stuff lol."

Haha, far from it. The only dance tracks I've made were when I was a noob at FL Studio :P.

OH THE GOOD OLD DAYS :D.

"I agree with SBB, the melody is sick."

Thank goodness for D minor.

"You should make a couple different movements with it, I see so much potential."

Don't know how easy that'll be if I want to keep it under the 5-minute limit, but I'll see if I can add anything to this.

"I haven't even started my composition yet, hopefully tonight. You are going to be a hard one to beat >;)"

Haha, likewise. Good luck on your track, can't wait to hear it. You have some really good stuff too.

Thanks again for the review!

[Muirin's Dream]

Not bad.

Hm... the intro could have been worked on a bit more. The harp's melody needs to be fixed in the intro because it doesn't really make any sense. The structure needs more work, as well as the mix. During the climax it just sounds like everything wants to be the loudest. Not good.

This song I believe doesn't sound finished. At some points I thought you were going to take the build up into something bigger, but you never gave it. Oh well, you still got time to work on it before the deadline. ;)

Jessismith responds:

Well, yeah. I plan on working some more on it. I can see what you're talking about. I'll be sure to fix stuff up before the deadline for sure. Thanks. :)

[InKa & Micken - Untitled [WIP]]

So good.

Stop teasing me bro.

bladerunner627 responds:

Haha, sorry for the slow reply. I've got a bunch of stuff in the works. You can check more of my recent stuff on http://www.soundcloud.com/inkadnb

Glad you enjoy it :)

[Sois Side Soldier v2]

Oh my god.

I'm still laughing.

[Stargenx - Greensleeves]

MIDI rips are a bit frowned upon here...

... that is if it is a MIDI rip. Sure, you changed the style a bit but it definitely sounds a lot like the original. Perhaps change some chords and / or arrangement? It'd be fresh to hear than just listening to a MIDI of it.

One thing I'd like to comment on is your volume levels. I believe that the drum kit could be a bit more louder and the guitars seem to be over everything, unless they are meant to be that way because the piano has some important parts in here. The strings could also be brightened up in the mix, as it is somewhat low.

I would also like to hear some bells ring out on the main notes... test it out, see what you think.

I really got nothing else to criticize on, so you made a pretty decent remix, if it is a remix anyways. I haven't heard this song in ages, so it's nice to hear it again. Keep up the good work.

Stargenx responds:

No midi rips here! :o
I wanted this to be mostly true to the original. I agree that the mix could be improved.

[B.T.P.D Remixed]

Ear Rape dude..

Seriously, don't be lazy when you are making a song and turn those volume levels down! Everything is clipping which as a result makes everything distorted. The whole mix is muffled and it the EQing isn't strong enough. Please, work longer on your songs and take the time make everything clear.

There were a couple FX noises that seemed unnecessary. It pretty much ruined the flow of this song. The Kick is too weak and needs to be more punchier. The rest of the percussion needs to be turned down to level out the mix. Trance songs aren't easy as they sound, it takes time and experience to get a clear sound.

Last thing I'd like to point out is that there was not any real melody what so ever in this song. All I hear is just a few plucked instruments playing a small rhythm.

Try again next time. Put more effort into your tracks so that they are not as ear raping as this one. Listen to some professional songs in the genre that you like to make so that you can have a good view of what the mix needs to sound like. Remember, practice makes perfect.

dude, i did put more effort in, and heres the result :-D

check this one out, its its child.
Thanks for the review though.

["Desert Journey"]

Excellent.

What ever you are doing, keep doing it. This song is fantastic as it is. It reminds me of some of the songs in the movie Inception. You also got that heroic feel to it too. I love listening to Classical hero type songs.

I'm being a bit picky about this, but your mix is lacking some depth to be honest. There needs to be some type of bass in there. Perhaps adding a baritone saxophone would work I think. Trumpets playing high octaves will help with the high end of the mix as well. I also think that maybe you should add in some bells playing the main note of a main chord. That would sick to hear.

Lastly, the overall volume of this song needs to be louder. It's just too quiet in my opinion and it really lacks the movement of the track.

All in all, really good song here man. I honestly can't wait for the full version, so please PM me when you finished this song. Keep up the good work :)

BrokenDeck responds:

Thanks! I gave it plenty of headroom. Any louder and the track risks distortion. Anywhere beyond 75% to the edge of the wavefile is too loud IMO. Louder instances become distorted.

Thanks for the review man!

:D

[Anal Violator]

Average Dubstep.

You got some potential in dubstep man. All you really need to do now is just keep practicing it and work harder on them. Your song has all the elements for dubstep - now it's time to bring it up to the next level.

Your EQing is very plain. I don't hear enough bass or high end EQing, all my monitors really pick up are the mids. If anything, adding a bass boost / compression on your bass would help. There could be a bit more high end as well. Maybe adding a distant pad/strings would do the trick. Just a suggestion though, not really a necessary thing.

The percussion needs to be tweaked more I think. The way it sounds know is kind of plain and they don't really add a lot of energy to you track. There's enough variation as it is though, but all it really needs now is just to polish it up.

The riffs in this track is pretty sick. It's catchy as well, which is a plus. I've had this song looping over for about 10 minutes and I've haven't gotten bored from it. Good job on that :)

Overall, this is an awesome potential track you have here. Just keep working on it, spend a bit more time than you do know just to polish everything up. Keep up the good work.
