Obelion's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[New Beginnings]

It's pretty decent considering it's your first techno attempt in a new DAW. So I guess you already know there might be plenty of things you can do to improve.
Try adding some more synths or percussive loops. Minimalism is all nice and good, but I kind of got the feeling, that this was not what you were going for.
Also, try changing the sound of the synths as well, and not just the melodies and rhythms. You can create ridiculously emotional flows with nothing but some filtered synths and stuff like that.
The Piano-Sitar-kind of sound was a bit weird, to be honest. But, well, if I like specific sounds or not is just a matter of taste. What's important is to learn how to properly work with the DAW and how to produce music. And, in my opinion, that's a matter of time, really. So: Keep em coming!

[Lost and disappeared]

good soing, but seems to clip a bit

Hey, asikeule

This is a fairly good composition. Nice choice of sounds and calming melodies. But there seems to be a little clipping going on and some of the sounds are fighting each other. Take your time with the mixing until everything sounds nice and clean.

Very chillaxing song, though^^

[Ethereal Ether]

Epic, but not polished

Those are some damn epic sounds and grooves you created there. And i fell in love with the chord-progression and melodies. The Percussion and grooves are really emotional and overwhelming. So pretty much a perfect track.
If only the mixing were a little bit cleaner. It feels like its clipping from time to time. The scratchy sounds kind of ruined it for me. If it weren't for those, this track would get straight 5/5; 10/10, because the composition is just great.

[=ChaozFantasy= [RMX]]

Pretty Good

Overall a very nice remix. Didn't expect this. But I think some of the sounds are fighting each other, so I think you should try mixing it again. Especially the drums are a little too much in the background. But if your CPU is giving you a headache, then I guess it can't be helped.
Oh, and I just have to ask: This lead-sound seems so familiar to me xD Is it a preset from z3ta+ ? Or Pentagon?

Anyways: Nice Remix, but it still can be polished a bit.

Daydream-Anatomy responds:

Thank you:3

and yeah it's probably a preset from z3ta+ I might of changed a osc and/or eq'd but yeah.

[{The Sewers}]

Like it

I somehow cant get myself to like the build up, but its very nicely done. Thats my personal taste, thats getting in the way, not your work.
But if you use this kind of Bass-Sound it could have been a little sicker. Maybe you were aiming for something between sickness and tranceyness with the Reese-ish Bass and the Piano-Sound.
Anyway: Its an awesome DnB-Track. Nice work, nice composition, nice mixing. Like it

[Stairway to Heaven [Blizzard]]

I can feel it

I can feel "it". I can definitely hear more than mere technique. Your playing is good, but you also put a lot of emotions in it. It lives.
The sound quality is close to perfect, I'd say. Except for a little punchy sounds here and there.

I like it a lot. 9/10

Electric-Blizzard responds:

Thanks! I try to put "it" into every song I do, though it doesn't always turn out that way.

[Premoeffect - Green Plums]

Very cool

This is trance, bro

Not much to say here. Nice synths, pumping beat, beautiful harmonics, smooth transitions...
It does its job as a trance song. Maybe im gonna climb up a mountain, enjoy the view and listen to this song someday.

PrEmoEffect responds:

With music, anything is possible.

[Krowe - Juggernaut]

Like it

I don't think I could ever do something like this. Its very sick yet atmospheric. BUT: It really lacks low frequencies. Dubstep is bass-music after all, so please try to add a little more power to it.
Unless , of course, you were intentionally going for a smoother, softer kind of sound.
Your mixing sounds pretty good. There are no sounds fighting each other and everything is perfectly present and clear. Good work, bro.

KroweMusic responds:

I know it needs more bass, but I can't change it now. It was used in a flash :/

[Static Outbreak]

Not mindblowing but okay

There are some sounds I dont like. The hats are a little too loud. The clap is too standard. I think this choir-sound doesn't work with the rest. Especially not with this throaty synth. I mean the one that kicks in around 0:35.

Im also not sure about the atmosphere this one is supposed to create.

I liked some rhythms. They gave a nice groove. Also the outro sounds like a build up again, so this one works as a loop. Pretty cool in mixing sets or if you just want to hear the song over and over again =)

[[oove] Requiem]

Sick Combo

Buildup: Nice little buildup with strings. I think i know the melody from somewhere
Drop: kind of missing here. But not every dubstep song has to be arranged the same way and I think you were obviously intentionally going for something different.
Chorus: Nice Bass. Rather screaming than wobbling. Works pretty well with the strings.
Little surprise around 3:16: I honestly don't know what to say. Could be genius, could be just weird. I guess it's a matter of the taste at the end of the day. Even for a dubstep fan like me ;)
