Jahn33's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Genesis Origin]

Spooky beginning than BAM! Fricken sick beat and crazy hi hats outta no where!! Good start. I can feel it building up getting ready for top hyper speed! Thunder and rain! Waiting.. Waiting.. Almost there i can feel it rising! Sound that came in at 2:04 hurt my ears. Gets better at 2:32. Still no drop though. 3:00 maybe there is a drop! (I've heard no bass yet) Well.. not every song needs bass and a drop. Good simple tune. Not the best but definitely not the worse.

[Something]

Good intro, the piano sounds off, actually the whole track sounds off beat or off tempo. Could use some beat matching there. Also it starts and stops quickly.

[Year of Solitude]

The first plunking that starts playing leaves much to quickly, it could use better transitioning, in fact the whole track could use better transitions. The percussion is good, but i don't like the main punch, guessing that's person preference though.

FortressLord responds:

So, longer intro, transitions and a new snare. I guess that's helpful enough.

In fact, that is helpful. I don't know where to go with the snare, but more transitions will be in my next track like this.

[Never Give In]

I liked the intro but you need a new synthesizer. It sounds cluttered, and like Envy your songs are sounding the same. I liked the sound effects, also i could hardly even hear the drums over all the other sounds.

R3SP4WN responds:

Aww, I just got compared to my idol :D! No, seriously haha. I really do need a new lead synth; as much as I like the one I use it's the same sound as my lead every time and every song is almost the same excepting a new melody. Thanks for the review, I'll be sure to go review your new track in a little bit!

[prototrack]

Fine, the kick is weird XD not bad just different, plucky. I really like it though! It's like progressive house? Idk I'm not too good with genres. Anyway I think you should make a drop at the midway point or before, it sounds great but gets boring when you make it feel like a drop then it just shuts down.

Keep it up.
Tweak it up.

DJMERKEREE responds:

Thanks man, yeah I need to work on that. it gets frustrating when it starts to sound like a giant series of build ups. Hahaha definitely working on that sticking point. Also the kick comes from the "Xfer" sound pack by deadmau5

[EnNinja - Cookies And Cakes]

It's not horrid.

It changes styles quite often-so drastically it's like 2 different songs. It's better than complete repition though. It's also boreing, add more sounds or meledys or sumthin; I counded 4 diff loops there.

EnNinja responds:

Thaaaaaaank you for the review!
This is a 1 year old song so it's pretty much shit so there you go now you know why it is like it is!
:D

[Krazy]

This is krazy. I really like chopped up vocals, just my opinion. The main synth is not.. My fav. Sounds a little reppetitive as well. Not bad though, I promise if you keep at it you will become better.
Keep it up, tweak it up.

DJMERKEREE responds:

hahahaha no worries man, this isn't my favorite track I've uploaded. This was kind of the end of my phase where I was always trying to put Deadmau5 like chords into everything. I wish I still had the original files though because after hearing it I would've liked to tone the vocals down a bit, they're a little grainy and it might've sounded better if I smoothed em out before uploading. btw thanks for the encouragement dude

[Charlie (Jazzy Dubstep)]

Like the style, but everything dosnt blend too well. The jazz sample was little high pitch so tone it down just a tad ( The pitch ) Tha background bass was ehh okay. could be deeper. LOVE the style though, keep it up, tweak it up.

DJMERKEREE responds:

Thanks a lot man, I appreciate the advice, it gives me an unbiased opinion of how my tracks sound to everyone else. Yeah I used eq 3, saturator and limiter to rid some of the background noise on the jazz sample, but it did cause the horn to be pretty high pitch lol I still need some work on my production skills. Thanks for the outlook

[The Return]

Sounds too cluttered, the drums are hardly audible ( exept for the "piano?" part which was verry nice ) The transactions were verry abrupt like at 2:03
I do like the ending though, that plucking noise and a surprise. mmmmm

[The Best Yet]

Liked the beginning but after the second vocals I was just like nope..
