dj-padman1's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Wise_Men]

nicely done

Sounds really good. You have a really nice variety of sounds in there and they work together really well. I was loving that big kick drop kind of sound that plays at the start of every 4 bars or so, but it gets a little bit much by the end!
The bass down low is really cool, I think a big regular kick drum would really suit the cool synths you have going on in the track. Some of them give the track a kind of mysterious, middle eastern flavour. Awesome!

KittenLoveX responds:

Thxs for the review dj-padman1! I luv synths ^_^

[Hypermix Assault]

keep practising

Its cool that you're trying to make techno. This is has a few problems though. I like some of your melodic ideas but they're kind of jumbled together. The handclap is WAY too loud. You want your kick to be bigger and I cant hear any hihats.
Keep working at it.
Simplify it...all you need is a steady beat and a simple bassline, and then introduce some of those melodies one by one. Then everything will have space and everyone will love you.!

adaissexy responds:

right i had realeased the out of timeness and all, but that was only because the arranging was done in acid. now i know how to do the arranging in fruity loops.

I will try harder :)

[-={CC}=- The Journey Begins]

great!

You guys are real maestro's! This was one epic electronic track. Really great co-ordination of the leads and that big semi detuned bass/lead provides a very solid underpinning to the other elements. Hey, you've given us an upbeat bassline as well to get the track really humming along.
There's some nice fills..I worry that the extra melody that comes in after the snare roll might be a little too detuned, to the point of being out of tune. It was a little bit unsettling I have to say.
When the track goes to the half time feel everything feels like its locked in correctly in terms of pitch. Very nice development there, adding the strings.
I like the pingy kind of drum. The pattern is kind of reminiscent of a d'n'b snare pattern which might explain a couple of previous reviewers remarks. I would consider it techno/faux classical looking at the track in its entirety.
Cool ending!

[Paranorma [Trance Remix] Fixed]

cool track

Nice build up, everything sounds 'right'. Good classic snare roll, I like how the main synth begins a little bit before. It sounded a little bit sparse, but I see you've delayed adding the clap and the open hihat. Nice!
It's cool, would have loved a bit more of a climax though...Maybe taking the energy down a bit and then building it up again to a new high. Hey, I'm no trance whiz so take my words with a grain of salt.
Keep rocking.

k-m-g responds:

Thanks man! Yeah, what you suggested (breaking it down and bringing it back) most likely would have complemented the song alot but I was running out of available space...damn 4000kb limit.

[Yogosun: Battle Mode (loop)]

well

Its quite cool man, and I can imagine it in a flash.
However, the lead sound sounds a bit static and plain. If its a battle scene I think you want something a bit more hectic! The bass too...I'm not exactly feeling like destroying stuff!
Still, I hope it gets used!

Jiao-Zhang responds:

yep. me too man. thanks!

[-={CC}=- Introduction]

cool

Its cool. Its got a nice video gamey/epic feel to it with that chord progression and the multi layered bubbly synths.
So, who are you guys? anyone famous? :)

look forward to hearing more complete tracks from you guys.

Critical-Collision responds:

Thanks you for reviewing dj-padman

famous, maybe!

Well we have a new tune, it's finished and will be submitted, as soon as our verification has gone through, we're eager to upload, so be sure to pop back in a couple of days.

If you liked this little piece, you should like the next one too, we love it and are keen to get it out there.

This piece however was only made for our verification

Do comeback though, you may not wanna miss the next one

Thanks again

[-[ IDM Attempt ]-]

super drumming

Dude, I'm really digging your drums in this one, they're damn cool!
The 'in your face' synth part kind of takes away from what the track could be though I think. I think you need something a bit more minimal or edgy?
Keep going!

DSMagnum responds:

Yeah, I'm not too sure on how to do much in Live yet, but I'm learning. I'll try to improve on the synth part, and hopefully I'll figure out how to add a bass while having drums and a lead at some point.

Thanks for the review!

[Bring On The Bass]

cool

Sounding promising man, I look forward to the complete track! I really dig the lead sound you've got there, especially the rapid sequence at the end. Nice touch!

k-m-g responds:

thanks.

[Yogosun: Retro Rush]

likee

Sounds pretty classic, nice roll into the high lead. Good how the bass launches into a progression to suit the lead sound. Hmm..the lead sounds a little bit loud, no big deal, maybe some reverb to soften it up a bit.
Good work, its a cool little track, or a solid foundation for a longer track!

Jiao-Zhang responds:

lol. Thanks alot. I dont really want to make a full version of this track, I just got bored of it. lol. Thanks anyways.
