Ethalyn's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[§-Sleepless night-§]

Really nice...

I basicly loved the bell beginning, for some reason... I picture this in a gangster movie. I mean like one of those tragic movies with youth in it, and like everything goes wrong. And this plays right when everyone sees how deep in they have gotten themselves. I really enjoyed it, it brought some cool picutres to my head, i always love when music brings out some more than the tapping foot in me. This just made sense to me, really fucking ace man. Keep it up...

I think the bell notesetting, and the "pad" (really short sound, not sure what it is) contributed to making that sound, i hope you will make this longer maybe? And really head for a movie/game part, i think it would be VERY fitting!!!

Wow... Unexpected... Dude, awesome!

When i saw the score and the amount of reviews and the review score i thought this would be like a newbie track. I never really took the time to look up some of your stuff til now but i gotta say im impressed, worth the listen!

Awesome start, i like the horn thingy that goes BMMMMMMMMMMMMMM every now and then, to like mark every 8th beat here and there. Sounds good. And your lead sounds good and everything exept for the kick is good. It sounds kind of flat. I would maybe recommend you choose another layering set for it and try setting the mid part of the EQ a bit down. That creates a little more solid and boost "able" kick sound that creates some real nice energy =)

Fitting bass, and very nice kind of shuffle/jumpstyle feel to it around 3:45 or something, really good work =) Nothin but ace in mah book man!!!

Awesome song, reminded me of Scooter in a nice way ;-) I mean that as in you didnt copy, you incorporated his style into your very loveable trance sound =)

Thank you for your time.

AWESOME!

ZOMGZOMG!

No this sucked, im just writing a review because i liking seeing all the 0's down this page?

[Go West (Scratch RMX)]

Nice going man =)

This was unbelievably nice, but i think that you lacked flow in your bass. And i think the fact that you missed it pulled this down. I remember C-Wests's remix of this song, the flow was just amazing, now offbeat bass just didnt fit in where the normal 4/4 beat was, but when the 6/8 or 4/3 thing came it was cool though ;-)

A good tip to get nice well flowing bass is to sidechain, i am betting you already know it and really im guessing this is the sound you went for, and if that IS the case i still think that imo a sidechained bass would have fit in more. But ofcourse you are the artist and its all your remix man =]

[e-mail] if you need help learning sidechaining ^_^

Now as said, really nice song. Good main melody and i love the original (the original of this song is by The Petshop Boys btw, youtube it ;-) )

Really nice transitions and everything but the bass imo is really clean sounding and theres no clipping or anything of that sort, ace song m8, really well done ;-)

Current Score
4.95 / 5.00 (+ 0.0082)

10/10
5/5

(Nice score, im sure NG will rape it soon though, hmh... Ill vote 5 everyday if that happens though)

And btw just wondering, some of the vocals you have, like the TURN IT UP! And that stuff, where did you get those? I really want em x) I have like some vocal patches but i used em all xD

Nice song =]

Thank you for your time.

[DXM - Akai]

NICE! =D

Really nice scratching sounds and i love all your melodies and rythms, complex and original song =D

Love the arps and gates, cool sub melodies with that really high pitched synth sound and the drums are really cool =] Im guessing its VEC 1 and 2 + VEH 1 and 2 you got eh? I got em to, awesome patches for FL! =D They work so well and if you layer and filter sounds you get liek the awesomest sounds out there! =D

[[EDJRMX] Beats n Bass]

Great man =]

Very good transitions and breaks, cool vocals and great bass =] Real good hands up song, great man!

I guess the bass is what i really like about this song, it has some proffesionality over it and really pushes the hands up thing all out ;-) Cool vocals, good choice of them AND they are very well syncronized... Awesome man. Love the Beats N Bass vocals to, are they self recorded or liek what?

Cool =]

whoa, thanks alot :D

[~EnV~Chaoz Fantasy RMX]

A definate 10/10!!!

Okey the reason why this is such a clear ten, is that you stayed true to the original AND you fucking overcame the original, this is 100 times better than the original!

I love your synth sounds in this one, i think that the original melodies fit way more into these pluck sounding saws than they did in the original versions sounds. I love the epic violin "ish" touches you added, this song did sound amazing and had a very atmospheric touch to it =]

The only thing i would protest on with this song, and your latest ones. Is the kick, its not hard anymore, it has the same power as when i try to create a flicking sound creating a friction motion between my thumb and index finger, it just sounds empty and really kind of drags the song down a bit, but i think the synths waged up for that. And made the song amazing no matter what.

But nontheless it would be cool if you tried a new set of layers/filters for your kick, i think it would help alot =)

Current Score
4.65 / 5.00 (+ 0.057)

5/5

Amazing work, just work some on that kick and you've got yourself a hit m8 =)

Thank you for your time.

Envy responds:

Well I was trying to base my kick around that semi quiet part at 25 seconds to 34 seconds. It was originally far too powerful for that break, so i had to tone it down a little. Maybe I did just a little too much. I mixed it a little differently to try and stick to the dance genre cause I don't think dance kicks are supposed to be as hard.

Oh well, it had to do with the mixing ultimately.

I wouldn't say better than the original, cause you can never beat an original XD it's a different genre and will obviously appeal to different people more. I'm glad it appealed to you 8D.

Thanks for the long review!
