Dj-PinkWalrus's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Death of My Sexuality]

I AM A WALRUS!!!!!!!!!

(read title)

Pissomatik responds:

Yup. Heh heh.

[Amanion]

Moose's breast milk!

I really liked the individual sounds and tunes you got going, but for some reason they didn't seem to layer too well over each other. It's like they're not in the same key..... Aside from that, though, You're the Moose's Breast Milk Baby!!!

[Frozen Forever--_--]

fairly impressive work

The music i've heard come from you is definitely more intricate than much of what is on this website. You're melodies are catchy, and the synths you use are pretty well thought out.
Now, though this is pretty impressive techno for a seventeen year old, there is still much room for improvement. I've only heard a few of your songs so far, but by the sounds of it, you seem to be using mainly major keys. If i were you I would try experimenting with minor keys and maybe brush up on some music theory. Especially if you are into Goa Trance, where minor scales are used fairly often among the more profficient artists in that genre. Also, I would definitely emphasise the importance of realtime synth tweaking, through the use of any sort of midi controllable knob, or with the mouse. It sounds like you already do some of that in your goa trance songs. I just think that realtime cutoff tweaking is a good substitute for some of the electro music cliches i've heard, such as the rather obvious phaser you used near the beginning of this piece. That's all the advice i can think of for now.
Btw are those rob papen synths you are using? If not, that's a name worth looking up.

PERVOK responds:

I made all my synths D:

[Layed Back (Seduction Mix)]

Very Good amBient PieCe!!

I really enjoyed your use of real life outdoor samples. That's something that i've been trying to find a way to integrat into my songs for a while. The problem is that i haven't been able to find a good sound library, or buy a condenser mic. Anyways, I also really liked the synths you incorporated into the song. The ambient bells especially seemed to match the mood of the piece very well. Now were those jungle samples you used? It sounded almost as if they were a combination of multiple environments. Anyways, great job! Keep up the good work! Now, if i were to change one thing, i might add a mild drum beat to the background, or diversify the piece a little bit. But besides that, it was absolutely awesome tastic. 5 for sure.

TheOrichalcon responds:

I do have another version of the track that is much less ambient and involves more focus on percussion. This one's the "seductive mix" I suppose because I removed all harsh tones from the mix, including percussion. The sound effects were from a game called Anarchy Online. I enjoyed the ambience in that game so it suited the style I was after. Glad you enjoyed it.

[No such thing]

Original and snazzy!

High five!!!!!

[DJ RISE- The Bass]

good job dude!

Ok, so the way that this song has been treated shows exactly why I hate the newgrounds audio portal so much. Basically, the song gets one five, does well in the portal for a little while, then gets zeroed by some motherfucker, and disappears into the blue. Man, all i have to say, is good job on this song, especially on the bass. One thing that you need to work on though, would be creating a real driving and moving drumline. One that doesn't seem syncopated but just flows. if you wan't to know what i'm talking about, check out my latest song Psychotic Tendencies, which had a similar fate to this song, only it happened right from the get go. Anyways,keep doing what you're doing. You're remixes are bitchin, and you're pretty sick at adding nice bass and lead synths.

Peace out!

DJ-RISE responds:

"the song gets one five, does well in the portal for a little while, then gets zeroed by some motherfucker, and disappears into the blue."

I know. Its probably some sorry bitch whose music is too shit to get anything higher than 'zero'. So it is his sworn duty to wreck all the good artists stuff. He hits a lot fo people. I bet he is some fat 35 year0old bastard that sits at his computer all day eating pizza and listening to Bruce Springstien.

"Man, all i have to say, is good job on this song, especially on the bass.'

I am proud of the bass. It is actually a really big Tech-House Bass kick that I looped and FXed the crap out of. I used it twice. Once for the distorted lead-type synth. And once for the subbass. XD Sweeet. :P

"One thing that you need to work on though, would be creating a real driving and moving drumline. One that doesn't seem syncopated but just flows."

Yeah. I didn't try that hard on the drums. LOL. It was a DNB loop I got from Reason. I sliced it up and added some FX.

"if you wan't to know what i'm talking about, check out my latest song Psychotic Tendencies, which had a similar fate to this song, only it happened right from the get go."

I'll chek it out next. :D

"Anyways,keep doing what you're doing. You're remixes are bitchin, and you're pretty sick at adding nice bass and lead synths."

XD Why thankyou. LOL. I try. :P Thanks for the review. Next stop: Your audio page. :P

[Come With Me {FINAL}]

not bad

k, here's my basic suggestions for this song. Basically, the beat was pretty awesome, but i felt like the beginning was really lacking in the synth department. Now i might also work on making a main line that's a little more catchy and less repetitive next time, but at the same time, catchy is all a matter of opinion. So keep doing what you do, and keep on truckin. You're doing a good job!

DJ-SkiLLz responds:

thanks man those are some really help tips
i can really see how it would help
this song didnt turn out as well as a planned and im still not totally happy with it
i dont think im going to do much more to it though its takin up alot of my time
so yea
thanks alot!
peace and chicken grease mateeeeee!

[Neverland [EON Remix]]

man....

You freakin rock my socks! You are great at this sort of dance trance style music! Keep doing what you're doing. The editing is fantastic! There is absolutely no clipping in any of the samples you took, which is a rarity for this site. This truly is some professional quality work that could easily be rocking some club out there!

[_-={This Frozen Land}=-_]

Man, you are awesome at this stuff!

I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere that this song has. I really enjoyed the choirs most out of all of the instruments put in this piece. Now, i would have to say that this song has a great progression to it, and it would sound fantastic in the sort of game that you wrote it for. Great job dude. I honestly can't think of any sort of constructive criticism for this piece. Great piano, great everything. I guess all i can say is keep doing what you are doing!

Peace out!

MaestroRage responds:

It's alright, I greatly appreciate your support Pink, I myself love choir works, besides Strings, they are my favorite form of expression.

They say the human voice is unparalleled in emotion, though there is traces of truth in the statement, I don't quite agree. I've heard some damn sad Violins :'(

In any case, i'm glad you liked it, thank you again for the review.

[Foggy Full Moon (instrumental)]

Dude, you rock!

I'm just writing this as a preliminary review before i go and truly analyze your music so i can see what sort of constructive advice i can come up with. All i have to say for now is that you are by far one of the most polished artists on this sight, and i love it! You are by far under appreciated by the masses, and i wanted to let you know personally. Keep making music! You rock!

crud responds:

thank you very much. sometimes i foregt why i still submit stuff here, but then i read stuff like your review and get pumped. thank you again.
