Saxturbation's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[FoD's Drum Challenge--_--]

Great Job

I just wish that the drums were a bit more prominent. But other than that you did a great job dubbing over this.

[Deep Within { Not finished }]

Good start

EQ needs some work. Kick is overpowering everything and it has a weird reverb to it. Nice leads though. Yeah it sounds like the kick is disrupting everything else, maybe bring it up just a little and the bass needs to have some work so its not overpowering either. Not quite sure how you're gonna do all that lol but good luck.

The beginning synth is good

But too repetitive. Make sure you change it up some, you can't just have one melody the whole time. This has potential and maybe if you tried it again you could hit it big.

egoner responds:

thanks also to you for your review :) i think i tried it again and make a better song

[Far and Away]

Repetitive but good

Read the title it pretty much says it all. At one point in the song I felt like too much was going on but nonetheless this was pretty good. I can see you being very good in the future if you learn how to use your programs to their full potential.

Connmann1015 responds:

hey thanks. the program im using is fruity loops, and i dont think ive even discovered the half of it. Also i would agree i have too much going on at some times. it's a little problem of mine.

[Lazy Summer Days[Trancecore]]

I think I'm unrightfully biased

I mean I loved the song but I don't think anything can top the original. Maybe it's the nostalgic feel that I have towards it =]. And I agree with ZooSafari about the Soft Clipper, it really could take this track to places above and beyond. But overall great job and a great remix as well 5/5 9/10.

[Dj -Gamah : Summer Storms]

Dude you turned this into what it needed to be

Very very good job refining this. I'm glad to hear that it's receiving such a great rating and I really hope that my constructive criticism helped in the last review that I made towards you.

Only thing that I could say is maybe you could add some crash cymbals that are rising and falling (you know what I mean? You hear them all the time in songs) and that could be the summer rains coming and going =].

If you do do more with this I wish you the best of luck and I hope you keep improving at what you do cuz you're good at it.

DjGamah responds:

Thank you very much for following along with the song! :D FL studio preset VST's just didn't cut it for real trance, nexus made this whole thing go much more smoothly.

Cymbals totally escaped me! I will for sure work them into the final version! There's also a lot of "texture sounds" I'd like to add if that makes sense (sorta like Tiesto uses a lot... random 1-2 bar loops of some sort of percussion.) but I haven't the slightest idea where to begin with that :P

[Aftermath - By Wolfhowl23]

The sound quality

The sound quality matches the rest of the song for some reason. I mean hell it sounds like your spinning a vinyl or listening to a recording from a long time ago. It really matches for some reason to me. If you do get vocals are you gonna actually sing them and re-submit this or what?

wolfhowl23 responds:

Well, it's an alto part, and I'm a 15 year old with a broken voice, so I may have to get my sister to sing it, or transpose it for my range.

But yeah, might do...

[What Now?]

Pretty chill song

Haha but the constant sequence that your using is kinda cheap lol. Oh well fine job anyways.

[[Jump Up]]

Many good things bout this

I don't know what you mean by your drums are lacking in punch but I think they hit me pretty hard. The synth had a nice groove to it and there was a constant hardcore feel to it which is awesome. Only thing I could possibly complain about was how there wasn't exactly ever a change in dynamics... constantly loud you know? Just seems to give a better feel if you use dynamics to their full strength. Other than that great job man.

[Sentimental Mood (Soprano Sax)]

Great Job

Being a saxophone player myself I gotta say that you have beautiful tone. You may wanna calm down when your pinching some of those notes, ya know they get kinda thin. I love your embellishments that you add into the song, just makes it better than the normal piece. Great job man.
