darthduba's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fxuem - Viral Fantasy]

Nice buddy

Your loop in the competetion made me check out other stuff. I'm not gonna criticise because your producing quality is better then mine. ( Dont try to teach people that know better then you already ). AllI can say is this is Deadmau5 quality

[Two Hundred Years (Ozone Mix)]

Pretty respectable

This surely is some of the best DnB I've heard on NG. You spread out your PADS very nicely and the drumlines are layed out very well. I love the bass, It growls badass.
The thing that I'm missing ( no worries this is sick stuff ) is a main melody. You use long stretched PADS, but those aren't very hard to use. I like DnB when it has some more melody to it. As I said, matter of taste.

Overall very nice piece of art

Qshunt responds:

Thanks for the Kudos mate :) I'm big on melodies normally too! but i'll keep that suggestion in the front of my mind for the next track I release :)

[Blue Dance V2]

Very nice

Sounds very professional.

The melody is very nice. A bit repetive after a while, altho it doesn't get boring. The percussion was mastered very well. the synth that comes in at 2.35 is pretty cool.
Tempo is good.

Nothing bad to say.
5/5 10/10 fav'd

syphonmax responds:

Will do =]

And thank you darth duba lol nice name XD vader and duba young apprentice XD

[Towards Nova]

Teh melody is good

But all the keys are at same velocity. If you increase the volume on certain notes, You can stress the melody. A stressed melody sounds more humanlike than this. You'll see it will give your work a more professional touch.
Percussion is nice but needs to be mastered.
A fadeout is good.

Overall a good piece. It beats my first submission for sure.
8/10 5/5 3.45 / 5.00 (+ 0.36)

Hey is there a way to do that in fruity loops? im guessing i should look for some tutorials on it! Yeah I'm having trouble with percussion but I have a friend who uses FL who's going to show me how to master it better. And thanks for the nice review! and Ill go check your stuff out for sure.

[Ryu Xero - Spiritual]

Well done

This piece is very relaxing

You took a long period to spread your ideas. Thats a good thing in ambient. Combined with a great percussion layed out this is topnotch work. All I can say is master the percs a bit better. I would like them to stand out more.

Title fits the theme

Triskele responds:

you're welcome :3

[Dune V2.4]

I have this on my mp3 player lolz

I like hearing an update on this. You very strong with the beats. Melody lacks a bit sometimes. I'm more into melodic DnB. I gues its a matter of taste :)

Unlike yourother song I reviewed this bass is very intense.

8/10 5/5

SREvol responds:

I know what you mean, beats I can do and silly SFX lol but a melody, for life of me, I can not muster. That's why I ask ppl to do the melodies for me lol!

[Tifall - Demo]

Damn those bombers huh

Maybe a tad to experimental for the big crowd :)
Anyways I like this piece. You did a very good job on the percussion. It doesn't getting boring to me. The PADs in the back go very nice along with the beat. The effects sounds very dark, I wish they played this experimental stuff more are parties.

The bass seems a bit weak in my opinion. I always like to enhace it with BloodOverdrive. So it stands out very nice.

5/5 8/10

[{r} Ascended]

Underdog list DnB :)

Very nice piece of work.

The percussion is very creative and well mastered. It doesn't get boring at all. It's a drum pattern I haven't heared before. Tho I like it very much.
This piece is melodic very strong. Nice use of synths.
Good job on panning.

[Archsage Athos's theme]

Nice piece.

Very relaxing piece of art

The good
_________

You layered the different sytns very well. The outcome is very nice.
You did a good job on stressing the piano notes.

The melody sounds a bit like " this is halloween" from nightmare before christmass.

Other
_____

Some percussion could give this track some extra dimensions. Alto tis hard for video game music to create good percs.

8/10 5/5 5.00 / 5.00 (unchanged)
