Cahzmana's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[RayRaY shine]

hey there man!
nice little song you got here,
wonderfull chords. tho, its like ur kick in the beginning is overpowerd somehow and interfears with everything. tho around 1:20 its gone?
did u placed some bongo or hihat in it at the start? if so.. remove or eq it lol

DJinside responds:

heey man, thx again for following my progress:) in the beginning i have a fq build-up for the kick and a reverb for the high hat, perhaps its a bit overpowered, i tried to get the ''anti-climax'' effect but seems that it overpowers the rest too much.

[Game Over! (WIP)]

woooooow! the bass sounds promising already man.
tho i see ive made a mistake lol.
it seems you actually got a hold of another melody i did in the same project,
but never thought about using it in Game Over lol.

still it doesnt matter. i wasnt planning on using it in other projects anyways,
but i guess i made you work ur ass off trying to figure it out didnt i?

shame on me for not checking before sending the midi -__- blame me! not the song nor the melo.

ljkDICKJUSTICE responds:

Lol thanks man, glad you like it!
If it's not the correct melody I'm still gonna use it since I get goosebumps listening to it!
Once I have the complextro part I'll show you but keep it off newgrounds so it's a secret! :D

[Revolution]

i shall write a short yet constructive review;
the starting is kinda simple yet can be effective. the use of white noise is good, it fills a track.
and like i said earlier i really like those african-kinda drum hits lol
what i DO miss is a real good bass o.o no offense to your track but a song can sound really different once a bassline is added, in a positive way lol.
so im not sure why you havent taken your time to create a good one.

the pitching is good too, i dont mind if its used allot, its a fun thing to do right? atleast i find it a fun thing to add lol
so yea the intro is pretty standard but it works. untill the 1 min mark, thats where i want some bass to kick in.

on to the break as i already said something about pitch lol
its good but again, i miss some kind of sine bassline.. just to give it more powah and emotion.
the buildup is steady with the drum hits again. really nice addition. however the pitching comes unexpected. you might want to end your breakdown FIRST and than slowly build your pitch bend up or down or whatever so it doesnt interfear with any violin.

on to your climax, its kinda simple, but it works better with a beastly bassline or something.
just like i said earlier.
bass doesnt only fill a song, it also become a living piece of art lol.

ForeverBound responds:

He thanks for your review finaly some I can use :D

[Zix'Medium]

i am fimiliar with this genre. and you know why there isnt allot on NG?
its bc Uplifting gets 'generic' and while it gets 'generic' it bores aswell...
i used to call every uplifting track "degga-degga"-lifting lol
its just not for me i know.. dont blame me for saying tho, im just open minded and..
speak openly abt it.

however, i like the bass in this track, pretty deep. but yea.. i dont want to hurt any feelings still i need to tell you it gets boring after some time..
music evolved you know.
we have a new genre called "trouse" a combi between house and trance.
not my thing either, but if you put it in the "bigroom" shoes youll get bigroom-trouse lol
and thats exactly my thing xD

anyways forgive me writing such a long speech about facts and stuff, it just had to be said ;)
nice track but gets boring after some time.
why dont you try a progressive house/trance song next time? take ur time to master/mix it
and show me when its done :D

SynchroSpectre responds:

Haha, I used to make countless of songs like these, but those were my noob years. I've learned how to perfect the genre and now I need to learn how to add finishing touches more experienced artists use to actually put someone in a trance.

And I actually don't mind it being boring, I find it quite boring myself, I mainly just skip to the transitions and stuff like that; I really don't listen to the whole song. I'm sorry if this is not your type of music but according to what the rubric says, I think I did pretty well ^.^

I'm actually less experienced in progressive trance and I'm interested to learn about it, maybe you can help me on those on my future tracks, you're pretty beast. :D

Thanks for the review, sorry I'm late lol :p

[Cradled in Love cover WIP]

longer version ASAP! im trippin on this man, really love it!

Valtanen responds:

Thanks.

First I have to think how to continue this-- :D

It has been my curse for a while now..

[Outer Heaven]

is it me or is the start really enoying (just saying man) its has allot of distorded resolution to it, which kinda hurt mah ears lol.
apart from that i hear some good sounds, melodies and wubwubs lol
also complextro/dubstep?? i hear this kind of dubstep alot in Elektro pieces lately.
dont know if im the crazy one here haha but yea, no offense man.

its a listenable piece :) DA best i could think of saying to you without hurting any feelings.

ljkDICKJUSTICE responds:

lol i always have that problem, it's too distorted, i've embraced it and stuck with hard electro and complextro but it's getting there!
at least it's listenable, i still like that! XD no feelings hurt over here, man!

[3.3.2013]

thats what i get in 6 hours lolz

Valtanen responds:

:D
I knew what I wanted to make with this. :)
Next step: making a full song with good variations in it..

A couple weeks later when I did this I started to study some more theory of music.. :D

["Madeon"ish Style Song]

the sound alone reminded me a bit of Arty aswell.

Nefix responds:

aaah, interesting. :)

Thanks for the review!
