Sirdangolot5's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[You Belong Here [Demo]]

Vocals were weak

Everything is done in your trademark awesome style, but the vocals...

I think one problem is that you're a bit too legato with your singing. Rather than being like:
"Cryin', people were lyin," you're like "Cuh-rye-ingg, pee-pul were lie-inggg"

also try using midi input to find notes with autotune and set retune to 0. :[

Then again, you WERE sick, so I guess I might be going off in the wrong direction with this

ioneofmany responds:

Yeah that is totally the wrong direction. I wasn't trying to copy your vocal feel fully. Its disappointing that you don't like the smooth flow it has to it, but I wanted to emphasize the lyrics in a very clear standard accent with a very smooth flow. Your track at 170bpm allows for faster lyrics at different parts, but legato fits the fx i've thrown onto it as EVERYTHING FLOWS IN. As far as the autotuning goes, that was already done in that regard; You can't correct it further to be natural because I decided to make it obviously autotuned-style. I'm not sure how i'll do the final though. It was planned to be natural, but I'm kind of digging the cher effect feel even if you aren't.

[-[8-bit] Glitcher]

Just heard your track in Zombies From Planet X

Just wanted to let you know (you probably already did) this track got used in a custom Left 4 Dead 2 map (which owns.)

SO DO THIS SONG

MashedByMachines responds:

Thank you :D I thought he only used my song "sector11", but appaerently he used this one too. cool :)

[Merge to Mind--_--Goa trance]

Almost perfect!

This is awesome psytrance!

The only problem I have with pretty much the whole song is the bass. The basslines are amazingly creative (seriously I wish I could approach that level of trancy creativity) but the sound of the actual bass (synth settings, sample, what have you) sounded a little cheesy.

But still, the percussion is genuinely fantastic. I haven't heard any drums of that caliber on Newgrounds since I joined!

PERVOK responds:

I don't even really like to detune my bass synth, doesn't make it sound solid enough. Yeah it sounds a bit cheesy, but the sound is clear and defined.

[Deprivation [Hard Dance]]

Keep it up!

You're developing, and all I can do is give you an 'A' for effort! XD

DjRubix responds:

:D thanks. I'll be working on another piece soonish

[My DotA Slicemix]

For the basshunter-y sounds, other than his voice.

Did you rip them from DotA, or just reproduce them very accurately with VSTs?

ioneofmany responds:

KEVIN BACON. ^^

[Careers Advisor - DJ Caution]

SICK!

I'm not entirely sure what genre this is, but it's making my ears bleed- because of how loud I cranked it up!
This is great!

DJCaution responds:

hardstyle baby - don't have the genre here on newgrounds but i just bang it in trance cos' it could be classed as hardtrance., but hell yeah it's made to be loud, quietness does this no justice.

[[Fiji]Revival]

Very nice!

I liked it a whole lot. It wasn't quite pro, but it was very interesting to listen to.

Normally I'd criticize you for your blatant use of Nexus, but in this case, you really made it work.

MrFijiWiji responds:

didnt use any nexus in this song at all HAHA!

[Piano~Demo~[Speed Remix]]

not much work was put into this

But I'm still remixing it lol

TranquilThought responds:

I've put a decent amount of effort into this song. It's nowhere near finished and I'm still working on it as I write this response. I've had at least a dozen different directions that I have taken this song and I feel like I'm going to stick with this one to build off of. Thank you for the 10/10 it's much appreciated

[Camping Les Tourelles J Sercu]

Great, and for some reason people poorly received

I'm not sure I can tell you anything about this composition you don't already know, but I'll say it's sure good, and there are an awful lot of fucktards rating you zero.

JohnSercu responds:

Yes I notice to alot rate me zero. But on the other hand I'm very pleased with the much nice reviews I got and happy that I got so far. Also the lots of "zero" scores I get don't come as a complete suprise. I do am aware of the fact that the kind of music I make isn't populair for all and that there's for instance a big difference between my music and the kind of music that is displayed on music- channels like MTV.

With friendly regards,

John

[Bleep Bloop]

Doesn't work.

This piece starts nowhere, goes nowhere, and doesn't sound much like music.

jake-thesnake responds:

What does music sound like?
