TomDavies's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Run Away (Ascendant Justice)]

Mhmm, this is a tough one.

The bass line sounds off in some parts, and the vocals sort of jump in and out in terms of volume. Auto-tune just isn't great on this!

The drums sound nice and trancy, same goes with the synths.

Vocals ruin it for me a bit though!

xchurch173 responds:

Haha, thanks. yea, doing vocals to my techno stuff is new for me. I'm still working on making them flow with the song better

[The Glade]

Extremely relaxing!!

9.5/10 in my opinion.

What vst did you use for that instrument?! It's fantastically professional.

The loop fits perfectly from intro to end. Great work. Now i want some strings, brass and big orchestral drums in there! ;)

Maverlyn responds:

I'll make it for you :)

Im using Magix Music Maker 16 *LEGAL COPY REQUIRED*

took me about 30 seconds to make once i knew the style he was looking for:P

[{sPhly} - Jump Jump (WIP)]

Not bad! ^_^

The chords in the intro are terribly predictable! But still, they fit into the song pretty nicely (:

It sounds very compact at 0.44 after the vocals come in. Lots of things going on there, makes the quality sounds a bit rubbish in a word.

Still, i like your choice of synths and drums!

Not bad ;)

-Tom. x

Shoephly responds:

Yea, i do realize that, and I am fully aware of it, i kinda skipped the build up, and the only reason i did that was when I made the intro, i sent it to a friend and he told me what he thought etc. When i told him my idea was to speed it up double the tempo I kinda skipped the build up to show him what i meant. xD

This is just a preview upload so obviously it's not great. :P

Thanks a ton for the review!

[Mau5mate - Rain Forests(OM)]

Fantastic work buddy! :)

Loved this, i sort of sank into the mood of it, and it's a perfect length! Not 'annoying repetitive' long, or stupidly short.

Was this done on FL Studio by any chance? :)
Love the melody, synths, drum patters, FX, build-up, breakdown, and everything else.

Definitely gets my 10/10 and 5/5! Maybe even give you a little shout out on Twitter with your permission ;)

D-Chain responds:

Thanks once again!

[[DN] 7 Skies- Caffeine Respray]

Gotta love 7 Skies.

Good work buddy, i'm actually good friends with the guys at 7 Skies. (Through Daniel Kandi) I shall send them this track see what they think.

Few recommendations?

Have a little more variation in the bass drum pattern.
Also, replace the snare with a light 'clap' or something to give it a that dreamy trance effect.

Good job.

[xKore-Time's Up(Time Extended)]

umm... :/

can i hug you? :3

Mrmilkcarton responds:

No homo?

[[TC] Hope Will Come Again]

Wow! Just a contrast of genres!

At first i was expecting a smooth/emotional orchestral track, then the kick came in! So my head started bobbing like a retard and my brother looked at me oddly whilst he was playing on the 360.

Then at about 2:20 with that gorgeous plucking synth it just took me to another world. The chords there are beautiful and very powerful emotionally! Which is rare with a trance synth as it's usually too harsh but that one sounded just right...

So yeah, with orchestral drums and trance leads it sounds out of this world!

Fantastic job John. I never want you to stop making music. EVER. Don't ever die okay? Promise? hahaa (: 10/10 5/5

[[TC] Victory Rising]

True, it is.

I do love you...(no homo) ;D

[xKore - Muff]

True, it is.

I want to make love to you. <3

[[TC] Into the Night]

Outstanding.

Always impress me, even if it was a 3 second song with one note and a cheap ugly synth, i'd still be impressed. There's something about you, something amazing. <3

TranceCrafter responds:

lol be careful what you wish for :P

thanks for the feedback! glad you enjoyed the track.
