decoyultimatum's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Love In Disguise (Inst.)]

i liked the bass line a lot and there was a nice sub melody in there. it sounds like jazz and house had a baby :D. i feel lke more needs to happen. it just sounds plain and rehearsed if you know what i mean. i do like the song i just wish something more would happen.

Stavier responds:

Thanx mayne, I had like 2 combined sorta but yea, trust me the lyric version of this makes it feel like more for sure. Thanx for da review!!!

[Plucked Up]

somethingelse you should do isstudy old classical music a lot of people dont but it will help you. studing modern musicians will help to. the song is kinda dry and is lacking in both harmony and structure. it needs more elements and they need to be able to stand on their own.try working with arpps. sorry if these reviews seem harsh btw im only trying to help you because you seem pretty new to all this and the sooner you start the better if i talk to someone else about music theory they usually call me an idiot and state that nobody cares. unfortunatly for them most people do care if they know it or not

[I Once Knew]

ill do you a favor and tell you what you need to do to get better. go to google and type in the search bar "music theory". then procede to a website and learn a thing or two about music. a large majority of people here dont know much about music. dont believe me then why does the games and movies tab appear before music. im not saying everyone on ng knows nothing but even a lot of the guys who have loads of fans and views on their audio dont know about music theory. if you work hard and learn it it will help you a lot. those who dont use music theory essentially have to learn it themselves through trial and error which can take a very long time. its like building a computer with no previous knowlege or instructions. its hard but can be done after a few yaers of trial and error. the song wasnt bad but it needed depth and a more convincing harmony. some better placed melody notes would help too.

comedy is something that really should be studied. the most important part of comedy has always been delivery. if you are born able to deliver well then good for you if not then study. you dear sir need to work on delivery pink elephants lmnop. as you can read that last sentence was delivered poorly. also your act was very predictable you need to hit your audience with something they dont expect and while their laughing you need to hit them again only that time it can be predictable because the audience already felt like they recieved the punchline. doing this is what pretty much every famous commedian does. studyother commedians but be origional. just some things to consider. sorry if i sounded harsh

[Housik]

something needs to happen in this song i know its house but its too plain and repetitive

[-KA89- Dreams Eternal WIP]

ya know your style has always been "screw music theory and main stream this stuff sounds great to me" and i both like and appreciate the style. its kinda like the birth of dubstep. i feel like you need to add dynamics to your pieces. its essentially the next step to making better music

[Pulse trigger V3(wip)]

it always amazes me how you put together these riffs that sound like theyre from different songs into one place. you get half way through the song and your like ...?? is this the same song from earlier?? it makes me feel like im flipping through the channels and everything that is on is some kind of action movie.

Kyleadam89 responds:

well. . . . I take that as a compliment.

[Rache]

the audio portal can always use more metal and your stuff is pretty good. its very long lol. try to remember when you make music that in order to get a lot of fans you will have to make some shorter songs to get the people with the short attention spans attention.

[Forgetting Who You Are]

some things to consider.
1. trance usually has a more dominant melody but the melody here almost doesnt exist at all.
2. with this kind of composition i would call it house especially with that strong bass line.
3. the quality is nice but i think you should spend more time on your eq.
4. all things being said this piece is actually really good there are just some technical flaws and i would change the genre.
your welcome :)

Synthapse responds:

Thx for all the advice I will keep all of this in mind in my next composition!

[The Foggy Isle]

with the drums being so constant and powerful it really gets boring i also dont care for the flute that you have going there. not so much as the instrument itself just the melody that came with it. i liked the harp like instrument but when it goes back to the flute again i just want to turn it off. it has a midevil feel to it which is ok but it doesnt make me think of forests

Kaimei responds:

Thanks for that Im still learning as a producer so thanks for and i understand where you are coming from. It will be changed before the finished product is out and Criticism is highly appreciated. Based on this comment i will make a revised version and tell me what you think when it comes out.
