Ditchy's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fake Sonata for a Virtual Clavichord]

Reminds of something you would hear in Final Fantasy, or an RPG. Nice.

LexRodent responds:

Thanks for listening.

[Butterflies]

Really wouldn't call this Trance, but its a good track.

larrynachos responds:

ok.

[MSN Euro Trance]

Hey hey. Love it. It has the early 2000's trance like vibe. I often try to aim for this in some tracks as and this is pretty inspiring.

Well done! :)

Hikari responds:

Thanks a tun! I always wanted to emulate this style, and well, I finally did it. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[2016 WiP]

Loved the melody and overall uplifting feel! Could be the EQ etc like you said but when the main Arps kicked in at about 30 seconds, I was waiting for the build up but it never came.

Still, epic!

Krussi responds:

Thanks! Yeah, I'm a bit torned about the arp. Was considering to make the arp more lead-ish or to remove it and have some background chord stabs combined with a new lead melody and the flute.
And the bassline feels kinda bland. I'm gonna let it sit for a few days I guess and comeback with a fresh pair of eyes (ears).

Thanks for the review and the score! I really appreciate it :)

[Dvbbs & Dropgun Feat. Sanjin -]

lol Slightly offended you put the genre as Trance, as it is deffo in the EDM category.

None-the-less, ace song mate...deffo one to make the people bounce.

Wizard responds:

I know... but on Newgrounds is not EDM Category and the closest is Trance, so i used Trance.
Thank you.

[◢ Time preview ◣]

Awesome intro, lovely melody...looking forward to the drop :)

[Rush]

Amaze-balls!

Proper go-fast trance track!

Love the Genre....jealous, hopefully i will get that good at mastering!

[Diskovr - Sparta Ft. VV]

Although Im not a big fan of Big Room (prefer it over Dubstep tho!), I kinda digged the song.

Pitch bending was great and I loved the breakdown at 2.18. A lot of cool drops as well :).

Mastering and EQ seemed pretty tidy, but I dont think im expert enough to comment on a lot of the technical stuff. All in all, great work :)

ksthultz15 responds:

Thanks! Glad you liked it. I'll be sure to tell my partner.

[Swan Transformation]

I thought the track was pretty good. I got into the intro relatively quickly and could see it wasn't trying to be complicating and had a fair bit of 'emotion' (which was what you were going for).

Really enjoyed the track a lot more when it kicked in, but couldn't help but feel the kick could have been a little more punchy through the compression (down to personnel preference I suppose). The synths were great and varied and you used a good amount of FX's and White Noise without drowning out the song itself (I liked the Rain Drop effect at roughly 3.56).

Overall: Great song with lots of uplifting/emotional sounds, and my review was down to personnel preference and not professionalism (as I am still learning as well!).

4/5 - Well done Sir.

EctiBot responds:

Thx for the review :). I agree that the kick should be more punchy, and I'll probably fix that at a later date.
Glad you enjoyed it :). I'll be sure to make more and better music in the future ;)

[Nerd]

Sounded really funky and full of bass (bit of dirty-ness to it as well). Great Track.

oswald responds:

Thank you.
