DJ-Hectic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[e99] Ass Back Home]

Absolutely brutal.

Dig what you've done with the remix, flows incredibly well, that main bass effect that kicks in around 0:30 is mind blowing, and the rest of it is great too. Love all the build ups/break downs, stellar job overall!

e991e responds:

Thank you, kind sir!
Glad you like it and thanks for the great review!

[King's Quest]

Absolutely stellar job!

Love the counter melodies and orchestration you have going on here, all the different sections are quite interesting, and the transitions work well. The use of samples is very tasteful throughout, and they actually sound like real instruments, ESPECIALLY those woodwinds, it's ear candy honestly. That choir melody with strings at the beginning was probably my favorite, just because I'm a sucker for that kind of thing. "worst composer ever", seriously? Give yourself some credit, friend, you've MORE than earned it here!

Bosa responds:

Thank you, DJ-Hectic.

[Rainwave - Solar Vision 2]

A+, awesome song!

Loved the chord progressions, all the synths, the solos, the filtering, the breakdowns, really no major complaints here. Also, were those some bluesy notes on the solo parts? 10/10 for that, seriously digging the originality man. I can also tell you're fluent in musical theory, which is always a plus. Great job in general dude, keep making music!

Indigorain responds:

Haha, thanks thanks thanks man! :D
Yeah, there's indeed some bluesy notes, I thought it'd be a nice touch ^^
I've never really had any problems with musical theory, and it's always been a huge advantage!
Thanks a lot for the awesome review and the kind words man! It's much appreciated! :D

[Rip Apart (WIP)]

Damn

When it gets into it it's heavy as hell. The bass sound is especially badass. It sounds pretty sick so far man, you should finish this WIP.

Icedragon200 responds:

Review appreciated, I'll finish it of course, I've enjoyed working on it so far.

[SF-BOSaTS]

Sick song.

Really dug the chord progression, and very nice production all around. My favorite part would have to be at 3:05 when the synths reenter and it starts banging. Again, really nice tune, surprised it has so little listens. Keep up the good work bro!

Thanks :) means a lot man. Check back soon for more juicy toons

[Dj Gonzo - Water]

Nice man, you're only getting better.

This is probably my favorite song I've heard by you. I really dig that upbeat feel you have going on, and the kick sounds very solid. Interesting chord progression, and that buildup that started around 1:07 was nicely done. Keep making quality music man!

Dj-Gonzo responds:

Thanks Hectic :P I was thinking in your comment in Fire and I tried to do all you say. I think I'm better producing music since you did the comment xD. Your songs are also cool! Thanks for your vote and for your download. :D

[Dance Trance]

Damn.

Just wow man. This tune kicks ass. Very tasteful automation of filters, really pretty string melody, KILLER lead synth, nice use of gross beat (gotta love that shit) and really cool chord progression. Honestly no musical complaints, my only gripe is that the kick sample is a bit too "bassy" if that makes any sense. Just a bit of EQing or compression on the kick channel would make it 200 times better. Still, that one complaint doesn't detract from how sick this is. It's obvious that you put a lot of work into this, so the least I can do is D/L, vote 5, and leave this review. Keep it up bro!

lvidmar responds:

Thanks! Glad you like it! I did try to EQ it a little in Parametric EQ 2, which did make it a little better, but I think i just need to shop around for some sounds. I do not like the default stuff they give you, but there is some good stuff.

[Piano Breakout]

Incredible

Some of the best produced stuff I've ever heard on NG, period. This deserves more attention, fucking KILLER track. Beat was perfect, everything just sounded solid, and your use of filters was incredibly well done. The engineering was professional, the sort of thing I'd buy and listen to on my iPod. My only complaint would be lack of variety, but since this isn't even done yet, that's not a problem. Seriously, this is insane, keep making music.

asddaw responds:

Thanks for the great & positive review! was really fun to read :)
Work continues on this track and there is a new version up called "bombobobombom"! Please check it out, I've made some big changes to the track, so please say what you think of the new version! :)

[We Can Be]

Sick Beat.

As common as that chord progression is, I really dug the beat you had over it. Also, it was very well produced/mixed in general. Really liked how it had a downtempo, grooving feel while remaining upbeat. Also, LOVED the piano outro, keep up the rock solid work!

9/10

Silverfish101 responds:

Thanks for the comment!! yea your right c maj is common lmao!!

[Shorty ( Dubstep )]

Pretty sick.

Nice work on the "wub" automation, or whatever you call it. Beat is solid, but it sounds like you could use some new drum samples. Either search Freesound or buy a good pack, because those sounds are grating in an otherwise sick dubstep track. Also, the wubbing is a bit too loud in contrast with the drums, a little mixing goes a LONG way. Keep it up!

highdrake responds:

Thanks. I think I missed one vital thing I do to my track, thus the mixing quality. If I
do a repost it'll sound a lot better.

Anyways, thanks for the review!
