decoyultimatum's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Battle Experiment #8.1]

i think that your soft synths in the back need a little more strenght and stability. while listening you can tell that theyre there but you cant really tell whats going on with them

foxhead128 responds:

Thanks for the feedback! I might eventually roll out a Battle Experiment #8.2 that addresses the issue you're talking about. Incidentally, those are strings, not synths.

[Moments]

this is a very beautiful song. you got what sounds like a mastering problem when the strings come in.

Ritz190 responds:

mhmm. wasn't sure how to make the strings come in. they sound really weird to me. but thanks alot for the review!

[Your Heart]

you cant have a 15 sec loop sir. its like putting mustard on your icecream nobody really wants it. the drums are to heavy for ambient as well

g4ebguyGT responds:

After listening to your music, I don't believe you have any room to talk here. This song has emotion that is the point of the hardstyle drum and soft pad. Your not even close to being in a club or hardstyle genre so stay out of my territory.

[Star Theme]

hearing this song instantly brought a smile to my face. not quite because the sng but because of the elements in the song. i can tell your fairly new to music making do your self a favor and be careful with arps. they can make your music both fly and crash. the arp that came in at 23 wasnt a good choice. i hope you can understand what im talking about

skylukewalker99 responds:

Okay, thanks for the advice on the arps. I'll edit this song a little to make the arps better, and message you when i re-upload.

[Dense Air]

wow... i dont know who you are but this whole song was very surprising. my biggest problem and i know its sad but the song doesnt live up to the intro. the intro is amazing then the rest of the song comes by and its half as cool as the intro. sorry bro

Kirbyfemur responds:

Nah that's alright. There is still plenty i want to do with this, hopefully i'll be able to keep the good going with an update soon. Thanks for the feedback man

[[Lady GaGa- Just Dance!]*]

so just in case newgrounds is stupid i voted a 4.5

i like it. ive never been a fan of lady gaga but i like your remixes of her music. it you ask me it takes the good and gets rid of the bad when you remix it

Solkrieg responds:

Daum right.

[Fairy's Fountain Loop]

nice hearing your music again :)
this piece is beautiful and brings back a huge wave of memories for all of the zelda games i played.
there are two things that im less pleased though. first off i wish there was some more emphasis on the main origional melody of this piece. also i would love to hear it with a softer slower more captivating and beautiful ending. the ending was nice but i feel it could be better.

ps yes its a loop but ive heard plenty of loops with pretty endings

VGSongbird responds:

I suppose your right; I probably could've given more attention to the ending.

[Fractal (House WIP)]

:45 to 1:15 is from a song a guy called grayz
not saying you stole it just letting you know that its the same exact thing and you might want to change it because people will notice it if your music sounds like it belongs to someone else

DJ-Hectic responds:

You're absolutely right. The synth is a popular preset from z3ta+, which I shouldn't have used. In the full song I'll replace it.

[Fly With Me]

sounds like a rendition of cannon in c honestly still good though
the middle part is different and the overall melody but the chord progression sounds the same still

Wurfel-Waffles responds:

Isn't it wonderful when music evolve into something new? And no I did not borrow the ideas from Canon by Bach. So who do you think Back borrowed ideas from? Unknown.

Wagner has a similar piece of opera that has similar chord progressions to Canon.

It's really hard to see this piece as a rip off. It's the right chord progression, in C, for joyful piece and such theme like this. It's what I learned in musical lessons.

There is a huge different between learning/borrowing than ripping and worse, stealing ideas.

Thank you for the comment. Good day.

[DJ Babokon - Revelations]

holy shit! O.o
it's been a while since i've listened to your stuff and the second i heard the drop it just blew my mind
this is amazing you have gotten a lot better

DJ-Babokon responds:

Thanks :D
