jbarnett's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[Fiji]Revival]

Nice

Good solid percussion, great melodies. Could have chosen better synths in some places. Like at 3:03, I really just don't like the Dble Dominator(?) preset. And it doesn't quite fit in with the other layers. Try messing with the preset and changing the settings around. Maybe you can find something that fits better.

But overall, it's not bad. 9/10 5/5

Professional trance is amazing if you know who to look at. one of my favorites is Above & Beyond and they list a bunch of good ones at trancearoundtheworld.com (remove any spaces)
On that page, just click the play button (there is a loud intro but just ignore it)

MrFijiWiji responds:

haha! i just started listening to their podcast!
it was the double dominator... changed up the lfo and the age amount of voices....i layered a vst with it... and u could still tell lol... good ear my man!
and i will fix that! i plan on selling this in the future :)

[Orchestral Theme 1]

Very good

Love the mood. Very tense, very epic. Great fight music. loops well

Gravey responds:

Thank you much.

[A Piano's Testimony]

Very good

the one thing i dont like is that the strings are a little "clicky" sounding. dont know if thats intentional or what but good song nonetheless.

Gravey responds:

Its intentional. ;-)

Glad you enjoyed the song. Not your typical cup of tea I know, so to get a thumbs up from you is a good sign that I did something right.

Thanks for the review.

[Kw- Alien Planets]

I'm a rebel

I actually like sound scapes but they have to have some variety in the melody. they cant just be 5 minutes of looping sound. this is a good one and i applaud your skill.

nightsurfermusic responds:

Thank you, very much. :)

[[Hardjump] Big Bass Hits - DjE]

not bad

there needs to be a LOT more bass on the kick and you may want to turn the distortion down a little bit

ephixa responds:

Thanks for the comment, but are you sure my kick isn't bottoming out on your speakers? It's a pretty low kick. Could be why you're hearing bass drop out. I assure you the bass is heading into the 0db so it's not a volume issue

[Summer Ocean (EP2 cut)]

In addition to TerraNations post

a good sub bass is in a softsynth called pentagon1 which you may or may not know of. either way, the preset is called "Subwoofer Test" in the "B" set. check it out and modify it to suit your needs if you can.

Kr1z responds:

Thx for the tip boy

[Sounds of Summer EP (A->N)]

wow

iTunes lists this as pop. how is this pop!?

its just badass electronica if id have to say

ApproachingNirvana responds:

Thanks for the review!! I think we put it in as pop/electronica so I'm not sure if it both in there in the description.

Thanks again!

[Kazmo - Sinking In]

1 Word...

YES!

Kazmo responds:

1 Word...

[Sirona]

Draco3988 responds:

[Through the Myst (WF1/F77/S3C)]

S3C responds:
