DeepEmbrace's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Moltov (Song Remix Contest)]

Not too bad...

Remixed and sent. Enjoy.

So one note, huh? Did you use Sytrus or Crystal or something? What program do you use?

As for the note, it's got a pretty neat sound. I was originally expecting an actual song to remix, but this was fine.

The remix is only like a minute long. lol

PARANATION responds:

It was Sytrus and the note was Conspiracy lol

[Fireflies V1.2]

Trance FTW!

The first thing I noticed was the kick, or rather, the lack thereof. Can't hear it; bring up the punch. Can't hear much of your snare either; I think your minimal approach to percussion takes away from the loop's energy and continuity. As for the gating synth, nice job with the sound. :) The melody you used on the lead synth is kind of neat, but It's rather passive; I would alter it to be more dense with notes... Sorry if this review sounds completely pessimistic: I like the track, but I definitely see room for improvement. :)

wii1 responds:

hehe, still working on it. The kick is in the other song. I realized one thing after I uploaded it, my other drum beat isn't in it O.o

[Elektro House Try 1]

Good, so far.

I will be honest and say that the kick in the beginning is uncomfortably loud. Do you have a limiter on the master track? I believe it's upping the kick level higher than it needs to be. Other than that, sounds are generally good, especially the bass. I like the bass. The panning on the hats is a nice touch. In the last 15 seconds or so, I would make the rhythm of the melody more defined, as opposed to freestyle-esque. Definitely expand upon this and build up slowly. Tis all, nice work. :)

Pyroific responds:

i've got everything i need on the master :P i just turned the drums up louder cause i like it xD

[In The Gears]

Allow me to rephrase what others said. :P

While the drums are abundant, they don't really stand out. Also, work on either some glitchy effects or some more luxuriant melodies. I know that sounds like a weak criticism, but there are a variety of resources online about music theory, including how melodies work. Keep at it, though, csd. CHAAAAAWKLIT RAYYYYNE!

csdthegreat responds:

Three 7s! I must be lucky! I WISH I could do glitchy effects and the like, but GB can only do so much... or, I can only do so much with what I've learned. I've been messing around in GB every day... I'll figure something out eventually...

[Fredgy - Reality]

So.

In spite of all negativity expressed by others, there's definitely room for improvement. control your volume levels to avoid clipping, and try to get your sounds to blend a little better. As for your preset ordeal, try to utilize things like SimSynth to make all new sounds. Not to denounce or impede on your endeavors, but hopefully, with time you'll be able to get sounds to mix a little better- namely, your own. Peace :)

Fredgy responds:

thanks, i 'll try to do

[-Take My Hand-]

Thumbs up,

The pad in the breakdown would be better with an instant attack. As for your vocals, they're mostly pretty good, except I would enunciate a little more. It would sound crisp, like your synth-perc in the breakdown to really pronounce the 'k' in your words. As for melodies, I really, really like them. Very musically sound and well-mixed.

RAVEN responds:

Hey DeepEmbrace, thanks a lot for the review! I have to agree with your review completely. I was going to have an instant attack on the strings when they first appear, and then gradually bring the attack level higher towards when the vocals are about to end and the kick-roll comes in. I also think I should've been much clearer with the vocals, like in the word "flight" you can't hear the t, and in the end of the vocal verse you can't hear the d in "hand". Once again, thanks a lot for reviewing this, I strongly appreciate it. I will keep all of your wonderful suggestions in mind when working on my next production. Later! =)

[Whip it REMIX]

Hey, cool remix.

I've been listening to the original, and I like the melodies. Good job representing those in your remix. However, two things. First, the kick drum seems to make it clip. I don't know if it actually does, but the kick sounds kind of ugly. Second, I know Whip it as an energetic, punk-electric dance track. The remix is cool, but I'm not sure if making a modern, chillout version captures as much of the energy. But hey, you still did pretty well with the remix; keep at it and try to expand your horizons. :)

kurotoko responds:

Now this is what i call some good criticism! :) you nailed what i was trying to do! thanks a lot for the review! i will take what you said into consideration as well! thanks again!
