Green-Phoenix's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[___Q___]

Great work!!

Thats some cool sounds rite there man.. i can recognise plenty of Sytrus!! Personally, i think the Dramatic/Suspense synth was held a bit long, and maybe coulda sounded better with some gating fx on it. You did some sweet rearranging with DrillNB loop, but if you also put some filter cuts on it that woulda been sweet as!! if this is only your 3rd drum n bass song i cant wait to hear wat you create in future. well done.

CH32 responds:

thanks, i will try to no depend a lot of the default synths ^^ and use other drumloops, samples and synths

[DJ Comet-Psychosis]

Man...

This track has the foundations for what could be an absolute hit, but it is let down emensly, because it is terribly distorted!!!!

Clarity man, what happened? Have you ever heard of a compressor??

With a decent mix, and compression, this would be fuckin kick ass. When i saw your profile and the amount of content you have submitted I expected that i would be downloading something of gold, that would closely rival ParagonX9 or sumthin. Man you should try harder on this one, I was really disapointed.

No hard feelings man. Peace out.

TheComet responds:

I think you might be listening to the wrong song bud or something freaked on your browser.
This song doesn't have that much distortion, and any that's there is entirely intentional.
As for the compresser, I used it to make the drums as hard as they are and also one the bass, it gets used in nearly every song

[dj_padman - Jungle fever]

Housy alrite!!

Yo this is cool, i see what u mean bout the jungally sound. haha why not make it a word!! I noticed you submitted sumthin at vertualy the same time as me! and hey thanks for the review.
aussie aussie aussie!!!
LONE STARR

dj-padman1 responds:

oi oi oi!

Thanks mate, yep, we must have pressed submit at exactly the same time. I think I was rushing to get it in before the end of the day as usual!
Catch ya round man.

[dj_padman - Madman loose]

sweet as

hey man awesome dnb! I love this stuff. this would be some of the sickest dnb i've heard on NG.

I don't really have any technical comments about the song, but you definately used FL for this ay? man u must hav been floggin it to get results like that! I'm a keen user of FL, and I know how much work goes into sumthin like that.

I was chekin ur profile, HEYYYY!! ur from Australia also! word.
please chek my Dnb like sinister demond and let me kno wat u think and if u feel like doin a colab or sumthin send me a pm
LONE STARR

dj-padman1 responds:

Yo man, thats right, us Aussies are totally outnumbered in this place, we'd better watch eachothers back!
Glad you liked it, although its not Fruity loops, its Ableton Live!
For sure man, I'll get round to checking out your tracks some day soon, no doubt about it.

[{Final Agression}]

awesome

hey man thats cool as. I'm a big fan of drum and bass and this was really sumthin.

I would like to give some GOOD CRITISISM!

I love the piano melodies, but I reckon they're a bit loud. That saw synth sounding thing at the start (what is it? Fry Bass?) needs more bass. But mainly the bass levels of the whole song. I reckon you could have had a deep square synth 3xOsc runnin playin sum kinda off beat tune.

Man I'm right into FL studio. If u wanna do a colab or exchange tips ideas beats etc send me a private message.
peace out from LONE STARR
PS chek out my song SINISTER DEMOND! please.

cornandbeans responds:

I couldn't find the song you were talking about... :S Sometime soon we should give a collab a go. I liked what I heard of your music. :) Thanks for the long review, very helpful! PM me your msn/aim and I'll get back to ya. ;)

~peace

[Bubble Trouble]

lol sounds like a video game!

Hey. cool song man. It instantly reminded me of sum games on my old mega drive! Hate to be a critic but everyone needs good feedback. Yo, I think you need to fix up the compression. Sounds like its got too much "pump" kno wat I mean? try reducin the comp ratio a bit and raise ya threshold sum. Also, the beat needs sum filtering to make it sound nice and smooth. One more thing. RHYTM! dude, you gotta try and keep a good flow goin ya know! sumtimes it sounds like a broken record playa. but anyways yeah great song! very original! chek sum of my dnb sumtime and send me a msg on my PM if ya wanna talk about beatmakin n stuff. PEACE!

Creamy-T responds:

definitely know what you mean w/compression, i'm still working on all the intricacies of reason.

i usually stick more to "having a flow" with songs, but i decided to take a few turns here and there with this one. not for everyone, but i was pretty happy with it =).

thanks for the feedback!

[DJ Comet-Distant Battle]

alrite man but...

Yo man, cool track, but I was disapointed coz of the amount of distortion there was! What programs u use? Have you tried using compression b4? man you could go heaps further wit this track if you put a lil more effort in. otha than that yeah its cool. send me a private msg sum time and we'll chat. I luv this dnb stuff. yo check out my sinister demon song.

Peace out from LONE STARR

TheComet responds:

this was actually a boredom project that sounded pretty good in the end :P no original intention to be submitted

As for the distortion, trust me you wouldn't like the drumline at all if I didn't use my Lo-Fi FX on them. (They're Like "Grunge 3"'s drums with the lo-fi though, I <3 Grunge 3 :P)

[MASSIVE MEMORIES]

YO!!!!!!!!

Hey man another awesome song! Yo I got msn now. Go online n chat to me sometime. my msn is the same as my email. Check my profile for it.

kingj4life3 responds:

hahah thanx man dude i sent you and email on your newgrounds account check it out it'll have my addy

(to all) i recommend my song "am i emo" it i think is one of the best i made

[Zion-Terminate]

Holy Crap! : )

Yo, It's LONE STARR! Wat up?

Man, when I first heard this song from start to finish, I was like, HOLY CRAP!! This is MAD AS! What the hell is it doin on 2.50? So I voted 5 for it to get the score up as much as my vote counts.

Firstly, wow, this has been mixed extremely well! Sounds like you've used a multiband compressor on the Master FX . They're new to me, I'm still workin' them out. Well Done!!

Secondly, that synth lead with the filter cut on it, (What is it? A TB 303?) that really got the hype going! I'm really diggin' that!

Another thing; Every now and then I'm hearing a vocoded sound, a robot or whatever. That's really cool! But I would like to have heard it say something a little more often, or maybe even do like a short verse or something! that would be sick!

Finally, there aren't any bad points to mention really. Dude, I would so be pumpin' this up at a rave party! Probly do like a seamless mix into antoher one of your tracks aswell.

I noticed u don't have an email address on your profile. I'm lookin 4 another FL Studio guru to jam with. If u want to you could email me [e-mail] and if you want like trade ideas and FL projects maybe?

PEACE OUT from LONE STARR

The-XI responds:

Wow, thanks for the long review. No, it wasn't a multiband compressor... it was jus the normal compressor =) that little thing sure is powerful =D

I might e-mail you later, though.

Thanks again!
