deadbea7's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kick It]

i like this a lot. i'm a sucker for minimalism. i also don't know much about dubstep, but from what i do know, it could use some more bass. you can add this to the kick, maybe. i also think the tempo change so be more drastic. like draw the notes out muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch longer than they were, long enough for the listener to "forget" how long they were and then boom, back to temp. just my 2-cents. i really this track though! super sick.

Anaklosmos responds:

Hey thanks a LOT! I keep hearing that it needs more bass, but I never knew how to put it in! Thanks for the awesome suggestions! I'll work on that tempo too! XD

[AIM - Alien Cave]

around 1:23ish the synth is very overpowering and drowns out a lot of your sounds. i think it would be better if you changed they clappy sounding to something with more oomph. and around 2:44 i can faintly hear a synth in the background begging to be brought out but the bass is just saying "fuck you synth it's my turn". i wouldn't worry about the genre. who cares. if you feel it's trancey, then fuck, it's trance. also, the ending was kinda abrupt and left me in the dark, if you can add a slight delay/reverb to the end it would help bring out the ending a bit. i like it a lot honestly. if this the final product, it's really not that bad. def worth more than 2 stars.

FortressLord responds:

Thanks for the review, all suggestions taken on board! (Particularly the ending possibilities)

(Sorry I can't be bothered with doing a lengthy thanks.)

[Trapping 3]

idk much about rap music. but to me it sounds like it could use more bass. you have all the right sounds and everything, but it's missing a super low 808ish bass. but that's just me, do whatever you think sounds good to you.

xxxZigZagxxx responds:

Thanks. Yes, I think I do need a harder-hitting kick. It's always a challenge. Thanks deadbea7!

[Flyboy]

you have some good stuff going on here. i would recommend looking into adding some more bassier stuff. like some kind of sine bass or something like that. i also feel like the percussion used doesn't quite fit the song. there's nothing really "wrong" with it, it just needs to be brought out some more. i think a bit eqing could help with that. it's always a good idea to keep your drums a bit "louder" than everything else.

there's a lot of potential with this.

Bretzies responds:

Thank you very much for the feedback, much appreciated. I will definitely look into adding some kind of sine bass to "fill in the blanks" and round up the whole thing a bit. As for the percs, I agree there's something not right, I think I will start the drums again from scratch, not very satisfied with either it's feel or sound. I will be posting an updated version sometime soon :).

Again, thank you very much for taking the time to tell me what you think. Being a self-thaught producer, such advices are invaluable!

i didn't want to be a dick. but i gave you one star because it literally sounds like shit. like it's a bunch of noise. idk if it's my browser, flash, or whatever, but everything else works fine. this just sounds like static and noise. why someone would call this a song is beyond me. maybe something happened with the upload, idk. but this is just noise.

sixshadowsix responds:

well thanks for giving some feed back instead of just down voting it to hell and yes it is allot of noise but some people on this sight might want it for a game loop for there opening start board or something... you dont know. what do you think i should add to it to make it better ?

[A Motherfucking House Song]

i like the house beat. and everything falls together nicely. the sound design could be better. but that's all you.

Chemiqals responds:

Thank you!

[Caritas - Will It Blend?]

the pads are pretty flawless. i feel like the drums should be a bit louder, or heavier. overall, this pretty rad. this is one of those songs where it's hard to point out what needs improvement because so much "personality" and personal style went into this, imo. but seriously though, i dig this shit out of this.

VernCarson responds:

Thanks so much.

Yep, I definitely agree about the drums. I was actually having some trouble EQing, so...I ended up with this. Not bad, but not the best it can be.

[Exchange]

the only problem i have with this is it's way too repetitive. you could possibly break up the repetition with a break or something. it's just missing a transition or two. the intro could use something to help push you into the song. like a slight increase in volume or something. around 1:32 you kinda do a build up but there isn't any noticeable change. and the ending really drove me crazy with the clashing notes. it may have been done on purpose to give it some kinda of character, but it just doesn't sound "right". this has potential to be really really catchy, you just gotta break it up into sections and have changes in repetition and dynamics. that's just my opinion. take it with a grain of salt.

ROUGE responds:

You're right about everything, im still experimenting in fl studio & am learning new things, and i made this when i first started using FL studio aswell, thank you for the feedback though :)
