decoyultimatum's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[--Lonely Times--]]

really good

i think that in order for this to be rapped over effectivly after the beat comes in (which is really nice) the vocals have to be cut after a measure of it repeating again

you can also have it fade in near the end of the song
think about the song lonely by kanye west

DJM00se responds:

yeah sounds like it would work good for some but worse for others. some rappers rap over vocals and it sounds quite good. but i see where youre coming from. idk how i will cut off the vocals since its a sample. ill have to either create one myself or find something in the song to sample from.

[[--Asian Descent--]]

ok well

i think it had a good steady beat and good concept i think the vocals were too loud if it is going to be rapped over though the ending didnt sound either it just cut off and it didnt sound good that way the rest was good

DJM00se responds:

yeah i should fade that ending out. the vocals are good for a rap, seeing as how its been done before plenty of times by pro;s. thanks for the review!

[-YRX- Durain Spiked Fruit]

hmm

i think that the melody needs more progression

i know its dnb but the melody just seems empty the dnb is great as usual but a lot of your dnb tend to have the same kind of feel in the dnb parts of the song

id really like to hear something new, something thats not so similar.

hearing it used so similarly in a lot of your songs gives it that main stream feel and i dont like that

i want to experience some different stuff from your music

YouriX responds:

I get where your going. You should hear my other song Enjoyable Fruit from my bandcamp account.

I sometimes against my will, go into this habit of doing the same thing. I try to break it sometimes i succed sometimes i dont nevertheless most of the time i am content with the results.
Thanks for the review ;)

[N/A - Game Over]

you see

i think that this song is really empty and i dont know if i could call this dubstep

its not horrible but it needs a LOT of work i wouldnt call it a song at all
at least its not the worst thing on here this week

as for concept and potential it has enough but you really didnt take advantage of that now did you

try learning how to make your music progress that should help a little

Mrmilkcarton responds:

Aight I've decided to make this review an example. For those who care I do read your reviews.

If you are going to review someones song lets first start off by not insulting the producer/writer/composer's intelligence.

"i think that this song is really empty and I don't know if I could call this dubstep" - who died and made you in charge of genres? Dubstep is a genre and this is a STYLE of dubstep much like Electro house is another form of House music.

I'll also address this, "I think this song is really empty" - I'm not sure what you want from me here. Is it my mix? Or just the overall instrumentation? Your lack of information is why no one gives a damn about reviewing on newgrounds because the lack of knowledge is fantastic.

"It's not horrible but..." - Don't try to sugarcoat me, I know you don't like the song trying to be my friend isn't going to help you.

"I wouldn't call this a song" - I wouldn't calls this a review you hardly tell me whats wrong with the song and don't back it up.

"As for the concept and potential it has enough but you really didn't take advantage of that now did you" - Take advantage of what? If you think I can take advantage of something then obviously you have an idea that you did not express in the review.

"Try learning how to make your music progress that should help a little" - I'm not retarded. I'm well aware that my bass holds one note and sustains that note because the bass unlike many songs is constantly changing. This is because it's the fucking feedback from a guitar cable.

If you want to know the form of my song its ABAB'A. I had more of a background song in my mind not a put on your iPod and listen to it all day kind of song.

TLDR: If you are going to review a song please don't talk down to me like I don't know what I'm doing. Just tell me what you didn't like and how you would fix it.

[- Platform]

Or4nges !

i thought i favorited you a long time ago :(

i love your stuff

this one is particularly catchy and up beat

Or4nges responds:

Thankyou my good man! I see you've got a song called "Level Up" too :P

[Manic Manor (Reworked) WIP]

hi there

still making music huh?

i liked it its all pretty and calm even though its dubstep

not something you usually hear

[[Front Lines]*]

so dirty

it feels like my insides are being turned inside out

idk if i can handle it

you always find that perfect boundary between clean and dirty for your songs and this one was just so filthy but i loved it

its really hard for me to pick up on any of the problems with this song but, honestly it doesn't matter that much to me because i'm sure you already know what they are and that you could fix them if you wanted to

i just want to say im very proud to even know you. you have successfully created your own style of dubstep and you are amazing at it. this is top five quality easy. you deserve a lot of respect for being able to do this. please for the sake of those of us who love music, continue to make music.

Solkrieg responds:

Thank you so much :D!

I shall continue to make music!

[Argentina]

here we go

for a house song i can say you will have to make some more progress to really develop your style of house ( lol house jk )

the clap needs to come down and you need to stay away from using white noise synths so much

house can be tricky because a lot of people think the drums are supposed to hit harder but in reality its just the bass that gets more emphasis. increase only the bass parts of the drums so it sounds a little clubish and you will do fine you can fine tune it to your preference after you can understand what you need to do.

the white noise in a house music is nice especially for a more relaxed and inspiring house song but, be careful not to over use it because it gets old fast if you do. you leave the listener thinking "why doesn't this guy do something new?" and thats not what you want is it?

Cobaliptic responds:

Yeah, I know that I used the white nose very often, at that time I didn't have any sort of uplifters samples or any ideas to make my own :(.

But i'm working on my 3rd house, and I have found a super pack with awesome drum samples made for Electronic music, with awesome uplifters, downlifters, Impact samples along with crashes and OMG. so yeah. :D

My 3rd one will be way more cool ;D

[Walkin' Towards Some Dreams]

ok here we go

for concept 10/10
i like the direction this piece went its calming and relaxing. makes you feel good inside yaknow.

development 9/10
i really liked the song as far as the different parts it had. each section was very beautiful but, there could have been some more progression. as you listen to specific parts you just start wondering when its going to move on and thats not what you want your listeners to think.

construction 9/10
everything was pieced together smoothly there were not any odd loose ends on the sections and the transitions were flawless but, the sections that carried on too long without development should be fixed.

quality 8/10
first off the strings in the beginning could've sounded more realistic there was a few mastering issues and the song needed more dynamics.

creativity 9/10
i can tell you didn't just slap this together there is some real emotion in here and i appreciate it. a lot of songs on ng are very empty if you want me to listen to any of your other songs please tell me

Stavier responds:

I like the variation in this review. Sometimes I get reviews like these and sometimes I got small reviews, but I like these kind. Yeah, didn't wanna make hype or anythin', just nice. Yeah, I agree, I didn't add so much, but the project is actin' goofy so IDK if I can update. I only made some longer cuz if someone raps to this then I want them to add a good amount of lyrics. I accidently made the hi-hats a lil' too much, but like I said, the project is a lil' goofy and I agree, the strings are actin' weird, I think I may've put slow strings rather than full strings. Mmmhmmm, I worked hard on this one, I always all effort. Thanx for the review!!!

[Encounter (SEI)]

so..

i think this one needs some work some of the instruments just dont work and there is some problems with the flow of the song

there could be a little more progression and a bit more melody change

i do like the concept a lot though it can definitely go somewhere

Seifire responds:

Thats understandable. I felt like the flow sounded a bit forced instead of natural and i was having some trouble altering the melody change so i just submitted it.
