Mea-Anima's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mystic Firefall]

well..

You sure seem to know a lot of things about music.
If you programmed this yourself, then you are well on your way to become semi professional. There are many songs out there that use preset samples. They might sound a bit better, but again, it are samples.

However, the quality of your programmed synths are somewhat low quality.
Except for these bells at the beginning. Perhaps you should look for tutorials on youtube. They offer high quality tutorials and come along with better VSTI plugins. 3xOSC is rather old. I only use it to make sidechained noise haha.

Well good job on this one. It should take a while to make something like this.
Hope my review helps.

DJSpire responds:

Oh, I know that 3xOsc is reaallllyy old. I just felt like challenging myself and writing a song written using only 3xOsc with only sounds I programmed myself.

I think that the first arpeggiating lead synth is low quality, but the bass (imho) is really good. I like it, to say the least.

But I definitely think that the second lead synth that I put in is of higher quality than the first. I think it's kinda an anthem sound. Like, anthem trance. Something like that.

I've got a decent amount of higher quality VSTis, and use them on a regular basis. I program pretty much everything other than drums in all of my songs from scratch, unless I'm using a dreaded Nexus sample. Haha!

Honestly, though, I really only spent about 6 hours on this. If I went back and spent a few more hours polishing it up, I could make the synths shine with beauty. And I could make a better mix. I'm just a little too lazy at this point, plus my ears are burnt out on making music. I released 4 tracks this past week.

I'll come back in about a week to make this piece shine. I'll PM you then :)

Though, to be honest, I cannot find a snare sample that I like with this song. It's really kinda pissing me off. Know any good sample CDs for snares that are really punchy, but have tone to them? They're not just white noise. I need something like that, with a lot of tone, kinda in the 200Hz area, both short and long. That would be beauteous.

Wait.. what ?!

Hey there man.
You probably won't remember me anymore lol.
It's me : FlashBlack.
After all these years we meet again =P.
Whew you really have skyrocketed conform music.
You even got your own record label, nice !.
I too have a record label soon, still need to send the contract
(god im lazy >.<)

Well for your song, it is really nice and sounds professional.
What bugged me a little is the volume of the bass (the saw).
It is pretty hard in comparison with the rest of the elements.
You might want to drop the volume a bit on those.

I love the percussion by the way, its top class !.
and at 00:54 that drop is just eargasm :|

Well its nice to see your fit and healthy =D

Yodamanjaro responds:

ah ok cool man. Thanks for taking a listen to this. You should really check out my trance, it's top notch quality compared to this crap on NG. At LEAST check out my soundcloud (I use the same username on there as I do here, Yodamanjaro). Send me a PM if you want a direct link.

[Norato - Rain]

its nice

Please do not bother the rediulously low score you have there.
There are bastards that zero bomb everything they can get their hands on.
a 5/5 from me.
Very nice progression, good sidechaining. House worthy imo.

Just keep practicing and eventually even the zero bombers will bow for what you make. Im talking in experience, it'll be allright :P.

Norato responds:

heh I know that this is nice loop :) I dont much care about rateing system... when best song on newgrounds is POKEMON cover then what the f*ck man what the fu*k

[Impossible to Convey]

Wow

Those arps are beyond amazing !
Are you making them or are you using presets ?
If you are making them yourself, would you mind telling me with what vsti you do this ? (assuming you use fruity loops.

I'm a great fan of your work man ! amazing.
Found a new favourite.

Check my two songs out if you have time too !
Greets,

PrEmoEffect responds:

The first arp to come in at the beginning is the "sub" bass patch for the bass. The actual arp that comes in afterward is a simple sawtooth pluck made from a few detuned oscillators that are passed through a lowpass filter that is modulated with an ADSR envelope with minimal attack, and short decay, and low sustain. The plucky sound is created by a pitch modulation. Following is reverb and delay of course, but these effects give the mix a more airy feel. For this, I used Sylenth I believe. Hope this helps.
