zaporzan's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[A Wind Of Ash]

Great mood

You really set the feel in this and carried it throughout. I really like that! I really enjoy it. I haven't heard many ambient guitar tracks, so I like that aspect of this too.

Demensentis responds:

Thanks for the kind words, and glad you like it!

[DnB Project 4 (WIP)]

Is it just me?

The whole thing seems squished. Did you put a heavy compressor on the master or something? I'd suggest you work on the transition around 1:40, it really comes out of nowhere and doesn't follow the harmonic structure of the previous half. I really like the liquid feel of the first half though :)

Good luck on the whole project!

zenodio responds:

Thanks for the review, it's nice to see a REAL review again, a review i can actually use.

Well, i didn't put anything on the master channel.
And that transition at 01:40 was just something i did for fun, don't really know why. I might remove it in the full version.

But thanks for the 10 and review =)

[Dj-Kartey- Lan Song]

Pretty good!

Hey this is really good for beggining to make music. You need to work on your levels and EQing. Maybe your transitions too. Everything is suddenly brought in, rather than faded in. Around 1:00 it gets really muddy as you get everything playing at once. That's where EQ and leveling things out would really help.

I can't really explain how to level things out or EQ in a single review post so if you want to know more just hit me up with a PM.

[Yellow Aircraft (Rykketid Rmx)]

Doing good!

Hey man about a year ago you reviewed one of my songs and I checked some of your stuff out and you've really improved! Keep it up.

zenodio responds:

Oh sorry man, i'm really sorry but my PC have been the worst piece of shit. And thanks a lot man =D

I gotta check out some of your stuff out too man =D

[Exotec - L33t]

whoa!

Highs on the kick :O ! lol good stuff man.

[Anxiety Cure - Club (A->N)]

Good good

Hey me again. I noticed the kick didn't really translate over to my system too well. It sounded like there was too much low end on it and my speakers couldn't really produce. However it does have "Club" there doesn't it! >.<

I also noticed it got muddy around 0:50 or so and again when that lead saw kicked in. I also noticed that during some of the choruses the kick lost all of it's character and didn't sound so good, and the bass disappeared (4:40-5:11).

Keep up the work. I hope this helped a little!

ApproachingNirvana responds:

Thanks for the feedback. We have a limited amount of systems to test out our songs on so it's good to hear back from people on the portions of the songs that need adjustments.

Thanks again!

[Waterfall - NG EDIT (A->N)]

Wow!!

You guys are great! I love to see that you guys are on top of all the reviews! You have a big future ahead and a good following building up. Your music is astounding to Newgrounds standards.

I notice you guys really like to vocode :P
You guys really have your own sound building up as I could see in your newer songs and they all have a lot of character.
This was mixed very well, I really like the instrumentation here.
Do you get your songs mastered by a mastering engineer?

ApproachingNirvana responds:

Thanks for the review! We mix and master all our songs ourselves. Although to be honest, this song isn't really up to our current standards. We've made a whole lot of progress since this piece - you should be seeing some new stuff from us soon!

As for the vocoder, it's not actually a vocoder. It's autotune. While we didn't like to rely on it, it sounded better than our pitchy voices at the time. That's all beginning to change as we get better at singing and learn how to manipulate our own voices. Expect our newer songs to be of much higher quality and the vocals to be more "real" and of much better quality.

Thanks for all the comments! We should be launching some new stuff in the next month, so definitely keep an eye out for that!

[Para - Smog Step Sanctuar]

!!! Great!

Bringing some dubstep into newgrounds!!

lol at all the comments bashing this. this is dubstep!!

good job mang

[Playing WIth Laser (DNB)]

nice

Ohh nice dirty drums I like that. They're really heavy too that works. I don't really agree with the introducing pluck synth though. I had no idea that drop around 1:28 was coming, you should build up a little to those, I didn't think it was that great. The drums never really changed other than that roll. You should have introduced that sub at the end earlier! It sounds great. Coll outro with the drums there. It sounds very inspirational.

Overall it's pretty good. I think the sub you had at the first three quarters of the song was too deep but the one at the end was perfect with the song. I think you should have maybe added more effects to the 2 synths you had going there. They became very repetitive. Yeah some more automation on the synths would have made it sound alot more interesting and it would have made your drops alot bigger and better kinda like the one you came too with the roll.

Good stuff! Keep it up!

zenodio responds:

Thanks a lot. And i'll try to put more effort into my music in the future

[Not For Long-S.O.S-DjProtege]

Good shit

Wow it's really good. solid kick and snare. Good scratch you kept throwing in there. Real mainstream feel to it. Good job. Keep it up.

PS: You should stop using capitals at the beginning of every word.
