Decky's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tranquil Remix]

A nice bit of Dub.

Not really my genre and I haven't hear the original to compare but this seems like a great track. Gave me something chill to listen to whilst smoking and I can't ask for much more than that.

I'll be listening to the original next.

Keep it up.

PizzaKiller responds:

Thanks man

[Thiscom - Rainbow Knight [Dance]]

Who doesn't smile in their heart when they hear a mix of 8-bit and Dance. Personally I found the concoction to be a great listen. Bravo to you.

There isn't much I can think to point out techniqually about this other then I would have like it to have been longer but what do I know.

Well done.

DjThiscom responds:

Thank you for your positive comment.
I was really happy when I see I make someone happy. :)
Of course I will try to create more similar songs. Eventually.

[Forever In My Mind]

I think it's a pretty good example of sampling. Takes me back to the early 00's when this sort of thing seemed to be everywhere. Never a bad thing.

At some points it sounds a little too grainy to my ear, though this could just be me and at 1:10 there's a Tatu sample that I don't think is working, it's also repeated later.

Nothing much more to comment on.
It's not bad at all.

Ikerion responds:

Can't disagree

[The Dawn Will Come (Medley)]

It seemed like pretty good melodic rock at the begining and I was about to give up on it when the guitar kicked in. Lyrics are okay, and it kept my attention all the way through after that. Reminds me of a softer Metallica with maybe some influences from instrumental folk rock.

Nothing really much to point out. I would have lkiked it to be heavier but that's a personal preference thing. I think it's earnt 4/5, why not.

[Dark Waters]

A nice track. Sometimes the piano feels like it could use a could of re-thinks, for example 00:15 - 00:24 is great but I feel that the cut in with the piano that follows is a little too harsh and could have been more flowing to keep with the preceding bit.

Very little to pick at here though as it's a good audio.

Stereocrisis responds:

Thanks Decky. Much obliged. Cheers.

[Chipper Tune]

A pretty cool loop.

It feels like it would be at home in modern take on an upbeat, retro classic. A new Ice-Climbers perhaps. There's an idea in there somewhere, I can feel it.

I can't really think of a way it could be improved as it seems to fit its purpose perfectly. High praise, yes, but doesn't make for a lengthy review I'm afraid. So...Pat on the back and all that, keep it up. Hope to hear more soon.

SuperBastard responds:

Thanks for the review; a little praise goes a long way!

[-Love & Radio Nights-]

I can't really fault it. It's pretty much what it set out to be, an upbeat, cheery and distinctly electronic tune. No more, no less. In a good way. Personally, I can see it being used by someone to put over their credit sequence or the like. Hopefully somebody will come across it.

All appears good and I can't hear anything of concern.
Good job.

bluebooblue responds:

Thank you very much for your review Decky!!
I'm glad you like it! :)

[Breakfast Menu]

Simply my favorite audio track on Newgrounds.

The idea of writing a song about a date at McDonalds is inspired and by that I do mean that I wonder what it is that you were taking when you came up with the concept. My bet would be on something strong and not necessarily cheap.

One thing that I would add is that I'd like to hear you record something that is song length. I think you could come up with a few funny verses and a chorus. Could be a laugh.

Keep it up, I'm sure you will.

[Insert Track Title Here(ID WiP]

A nice trance jingle, I call it "jingle" as it is currently a little short to be classed as a full song in my opinion but that is just my opinion. I felt that the strong start made it feel like you were walking into a club just after a drop, missing the build up. I'm not sure this is a good thing, maybe consider adding a build up for a while before this and relegating this to just the main meat and potatoes of the track.

For what is here it's of a good quality with just the right amount of business to keep the listener interested but I would neaten up the editing to get rid of the silence at the end, which goes on for just a bit too long. Especially as this isn't a loop.

All in all it's a good start. I'd keep editing and adding more and see where you get with this.

[Trick or treat (1)]

Not bad, it reminded me of something that would be in some kind of overly epic Scooby-Doo style corridor chase. I can easily see this being used by somebody to liven up a cut scene or maybe over the menu for a game.

The only thing that I would say is it's a shame that this wasn't released around Halloween. I know it's a small, insignificant problem but these things always come of better around that time of year.

Vierarmig responds:

Thank you for the review!
May be I misunderstood the rules but this track was composed for a real game which was already released (I compose music for concrete games). This game was released exactly around Halloween, 2014. Now, i just posted my works disregarding themes.
