dj-Nate's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[DJ Clyme - Be Alive(Remix)]

Awesome

This reminds me of something I would make. This is really cool, nice track man.

DjClyme responds:

thank you!

[~Beta~ FlyNaut]

wow

You made this in the allotted two weeks? Dude this is sick. Love the sidechaining, perfect amount of ducking imo. LOVE the pluck synth (and the automations that go along with it). Progression is smooth and unrepetitive (is that a word?). Overall, its absolutely beautiful. I rarely give perfect tens, kudos to you for making it happen.

DL'd, 5'd & fav'd good sir.

-Nate

P.S. I thought a dubstep style percussion section was coming at 2:21. Maybe you can let me remix this?

aliaspharow responds:

Well Actually i started this in Round 1 still but i believe that this was allowed. Yeah i think i was lucky enough to find that sweet spot on the sidechaining. I really appreciate the kind words and I would LOVE for you to do a remix of this!

[~Beta~ Downpour (2nd Edit)]

Mindfuck

"What my music sounds like when i do it the way it was meant to be done."

I had to reread that a few times, haha. I like the confidence. Lets hope it gets you to the finish line. Great song, great piano (you know me and my piano). Good luck man, can't wait to hear moar.

aliaspharow responds:

I say this because this is the sound i've always wanted. I really feel like i've achieved something with this. And i too love piano! I've always put pianos in my music. It's practicly my signature by now. Thanks for the Review!

[Black Widow]

Noice

This is different. I really like the title, it matches. I loooove the percussion. Mixed/mastered in here perfectly. And I'm digging that dissonant/atonal piano. It actually adds a really nice and fitting atmosphere.

Good job man!

Quarl responds:

thanks for stopping by nate. it means a lot to me coming from you :)

[xKore - Magnum (ExPrev)]

Excellent

Excellent.

xKore responds:

Excellent.

[Rig - Demo Reel 2011]

Great

This is quite good. Incredible quality as always Rig.

-Nate

Rig responds:

Thank you, sir!

[Dont You See-Ft DJ NAte]

Good

Its good man, although the quality is pretty low in terms of bitrate. What happened to the original song with the person in the background? It just seems like when you re-recorded over it, it recorded with bad quality.

But if the quality wasn't hindering the content of the song, it would definitely be 10/10!

RasBerryjr responds:

I don't know...to be honest DJ Nate

[Easycore Bitch!]

Good

Would sound better if you had better recording equipment. That way you could add some bass and some keyboards perhaps.

Good melodies. Nice job.

IHaveWon92 responds:

thanx for the review bro. I don't have a gud recording system. I just put my amp right in front of my mac and recorded it in garageband lol.

[When the Time Comes {Dj-Abbic}]

Good!

I like this. Very soothing. I would love to hear some MOAR BASS! Seems a little lacking on the low-end, but the melodies are great and the supersaw/pad filled things in nicely. Also kinda thought the intro/buildup took a little long, but the melody and atmosphere made it almost ambient in a way. Nice job Abbic.

Good luck in the competition sir.

DjAbbic responds:

I *knew* it was lacking in the low end...I was going to make a kind of slidey low sub-bass but I never found out how to do that :( I thought it would've fit pretty well :|. Oh well. Thanks for the review and good luck too :).

[SpK*) - Busy Tone]

Nice

The percussion is what really blew my mind tbh. Very talented. As for the melodies, very laid back. Going back on what SineRider said, there seems to be a little dissonance at 1:04, although that could've been the sound you were looking for. In any case, overall good job and good luck in the comp!

Spikrodd responds:

Well if you hear my music, you know I don't bullshit my percussion work :)
The melodies were a pain in the ass to do all around, solely because I know little about that whole music theory thing.

Yeah the dissonance at 1:04 was purposeful; I liked to give my bells a very whimsical, all-surrounding feel to it. It just fills the song better.

Thanks for the good luck wishes, I'm gonna need them for nubbinownz's orchestral butt-rape I'm soon gonna receive.
