DjToffee's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Keepin Upbeat]

Happy, happy!

The melody is so happy.
But the beat...
It's a little lacking.
Doesn't really move me. :P

I like what you have here though.
Especially the panning.
Those arpeggiated synths are just dancing between headphone cups. :D

Good work.
Keep it up. :D

AntQ responds:

I appreciate your feedback, yeah i know the song wasnt perfect but glad to hear that you still enjoyed it. I hope my future songs will turn out better.

[Unfinished Unnamed]

Eh...

The beat was 'eh'...
The synth was 'eh' and not to mention really harsh on the ears...

Overall, the song really didn't touch me too much.
It didn't touch me like Santa Claus touched me that one Christmas, but that's a different story. :D

I think you have potential. :)
Everything was in the right key.
That's a good thing and I know people who even manage to mess that up. :D

What software are you using?
Maybe I can help you out.

Randomizor responds:

Im using FL Studios 8 lol

[Untitled [Work In Progress]]

Smooth.

I like what you have so far.
But I listen to a lot of DnB and I think that percussion needs to come out more.
A lot more. :D
That's the whole point of DnB. :P

People want to hear...drums...and bass.
Pan out some of the drum kit too.
I think that'll sound nice.

You got a pretty nice piece of work here.
Keep it up.

Alakazamm responds:

Thanks.

I'll make the beat a little louder but I don't want to make it like some hardcore Drum N Bass. I'll see what I can do.

Yeah, I noticed the bass being so quiet as soon as I listened to it in headphones. Unfortunately this was after I uploaded it. I've changed it already.

I tried the panning thing but it make the beat a bit too soft, I'll try it again with different effects and stuff. I'll see what I can do. I'll try re-uploading it later if I get time.

Thanks for your suggestions, I appreciate it.

[TZG - AtmosFEARic]

Wonderfully creepy

As soon as I started playing it I immediately felt that creepy feeling.
Definitely sets that mood.
It's got that..."underground parking lot" feeling to it.

Matter of fact!
It reminds me of the music from RE2 in the parking lot under the police station!

Man...I better not open my front door and find zombie dogs out there...

TehZorzGuy responds:

RE2 parking lot, eh? I was thinking more like the dungeon areas in RE4.

[Gummi Ship Flight 1]

I love you!

You should do some remixing to it! :D

Man, I wanna' play the first Kingdom Hearts now... :(

Sorrow-316 responds:

Harr, Thanks alot for a Review! i wanted one of these Lately xP
eh, Im not that Good At Remixing, But Remaking Gives me a GOAL to set, To allow
Flash Users to user VERY similiar Music without Some Legal Crap or etc. =)

[One Night Song - TIXE]

Me likey.

Although, I'm new here and I'm not sure if 'heavy metal' isn't the only genre selection they have to indicate rock in general. This seems a little more like punk rock. Well, in the beginning at least.

MOAR DOUBLE BASS! :D

HellSpawnIV responds:

i personally would label it under a Thrash Metal genre, but they don't have it... which is why i think they should change the "Heavy Metal" label to just "Metal" because it's less specific and it would be more accurate, looking at all the songs in this genre already.

*Warning* my opinion:
the double bass drum is a tool and should be used at the right times (when things are getting intense) and not all the time like some of these other bands... it's like my philosophy on life... everything in balance. hopefully no one was offended ;)

[Edge of Faith]

Wow...

I gotta' admit, I was reading a review listening to it and was about to get some bad vibes about it.
The beginning was so mellow, then I read someone mentioned it becomes a 'guitar song' and I thought "Oh hell no".

But you really came through with it.
You maintained the mellow pads and overall feeling with adding just that tinge of action with the distorted guitar.

I really like it.
REALLY good work.
Definite download!

NemesisTheory responds:

Yeah well you cant really please everyone with guitars anymore! haha.
but i'm happy a lot of you still really can appreciate it... there's been a lot of orchestral and dance/trance remixes already (even from dj tiesto) so i didn't want to beat a dead cow or something.

So anyway! I'm glad that you DID enjoy it! :)

[~The Deep~]

I like the concept.

Like blending in from ambiance to a trance of sort of thing.
Also contrasted between the natural instruments in the beginning and the electro get up you have going on.
Also did a good job with those transitions.

Nice choir, by the way.
Keep up the good work.

ReapersArms responds:

Thanks man

[Redemptive Suffering]

Very dramatic!

The beginning instantly brought me in!
But there are some timing issues, unless those were intentional.
I like it but I think it could use some work.

As for your mixing, everything sounds clear to me.
I should also mention your great instrumentation.
I like the blend.

Good job.

popraz responds:

Well, the timing is a bit weird because I kept overlapping different layers and the changes in pacing are kind of abrupt, I just kept digging deeper, and tried to balance the layers. Thank you, it's a very helpful review ! i'll try and fix it !
