x-Exodus-X's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Wizard]

awesome!

this is one of the best Old school VG songs i have heard in a while! if you ever make another one of these, try out some 8 bit square synths to make it sound even more classic and cool! great job!

Metalcan responds:

Thanks a lot! Actually, I've been checking out a free program called MilkyTracker, which is perfect for this kind of music, so I'll probably use that for this kind of music in the future.

[TTT-System Fail (Hardcore]

wow man, this is really good

this suprised me, its very good! the synths you used are good, i like that hollow square lead. good beats and effects, i like it all.

the bass was weak but cool, the heavy punchy kick made up for it though so its all good.

i fived it. drop me a review if you want/have the chance. any opinion is greatly appreciated.

-Exodus

raving2thegrave responds:

Thanks, but why the zero?

[Electrick - Esphere]

ok, why the hell does this have such a low score.

my new song got zeroed too though. i fived your song to bring it up, but i would have fived it anyway so don't worry lol.

cool percussion, especially in the intro. very original snare roll. i like.

nice synth. gave it a party feel. like your in a club dancing with a colored strobe light. gave me a space feeling like alot of trance does.

good use of delay on the piano. great panning on the snares. love the beat, its great that finally someone on NG made a trance song without the generic kick/hat/kick/hat.

cymbal crashes were positioned perfectly. but when it all builds up to the awesome part, i can really see a gate there, maybe not as a melody/harmony but atleast in the backround playing the chord progression. not really critisism, but it will have to do.

you are obviously great at trance, this all leaves me with the classic question: which program do you use? also, i just released a new song, Facing Reality, it would be nice to get your expirienced opinion on it :)

good job on this, like i said, an overall great song. it was quite enjoyable.

-Exodus

Electrick responds:

Hey! Thanks for the great review! This only took my like 5 hours to make. I told you, it was a quicky ;) Sure i'll review your song! :)

[Final Shot on Death Egg]

You voted 5 for Final...Egg keeping its score at 5

Could probably use a little bit of mastering. Like the melody, is this from sonic or something?

the melodies are very anxious, is that the mood you were going for? like a battle theme?

nice percussion, very diverse and good beats. some parts of the song are just way to loud and jumbled, but its an overall pretty good overall song.

I fived and downloaded it, check my new song out too please, its called 'Facing Defeat'. Have a nice day!

-Exodus

Epsilon-Eclipse responds:

Yeah, that's from Sonic. =P It's actually the Final Boss theme from the second game.

Also, yeah, I was looking for a fast and anxious sound. So I guess that's what I got because I upped the tempo from the original song by about 15. Thanks for the review man, and I'll check out your song.

[Crepth- sequential (pvw)]

yo mark

i like the song. i think it would be interesting if you made it into a full song, it would either turn out really good or really normal (like, un-unique).

cool mix of synths like usual (i mean that in a good way) very diverse, category wise. and thats coming from someone who makes music that could fit into like 40 diffrent subgenres.

got the mood over nicely. however the heavy snare doesnt fit perfectly well to the peacefullness, in my opinion. i think just the kicks and hats would do but whatever in my opinion my opinion is wrong alot...think about that for a while.

now i should probably stop before my grammar gets too out of hand, but i think i can go for just one more paragraph. i like the cool empty sounding bass. bit hard to hear though. i fived and downloaded.

talk to you later, review my new song if you please.

-Exodus

Neon-Crepth responds:

thanks for the great review. i do know what you mean with the snare. i noticed that and tried to quiet it down as much as i thought needed. ill look into making it better. i realized the thing about the bass as well but when ever i'd make it louder it would distort. and i wouldn't want a repeat of what happened in Neon grudge! i think i know how to solve it though^^

thanks again for your review, but PLEASE don't get me started with the opinion thing!! lol. i'll go review your song.

[[F-777] "The Promise"]

i like this

peaceful. like walking through a forest with streams and waterfalls and stuff, i will stop before it starts to sound to gay.

but yeah, i`ve been listening to your music latley and you got soem true talent. i must critisize it, however, in order to make it a true review ;)

the strings were, well, they sounded artificial, if you know what i mean? more a synth than a pad, kind of. i cant really explain it. you had some nice pads in there too, but all im saying it that instead of using that synth string you would probably have been better off using a real string.

i like that flute-like synth, how the volume would kind of swing away occasionally. good drum break too, really did it`s job nicely.

piano was good, everything else was pretty much perfect. good song, this is the type of music i like. im actually working on a drum/piano/synth piece of my own right now, kind of a funny coincidence.

you had good fx, good use of reverb and delay on the rev crashes, you did a very good job. this deserves a 5 and a ten. maybe we could collab sometime, if you want. i know i would have fun with it :)

good luck in the future, and uh, happy 7/7/7 too lol. cya

-Exodus

F-777 responds:

Thank you so much for the awesome review! And yes a collab would be awesome just pm me!

[ParagonX9 - Chaoz Fantasy]

Breaktrance o.O

Finally, a new song!

Cool intro, faded synth. Catchy tune that comes in, ParagonX9 drums that like usual kick ass.

Nice synths, did you use either Acid PRO or Reason 3.0?

I love the effects you used. Cool piano, really metallic yet heaven like, if you catch my drift.

All blends together to for this wonderful piece of...Breaktrance! Great work, fivened and downloaded.

I <3 your music!

-Exodus

ParagonX9 responds:

W000t thanxs!
Everything has been done in Reason 3.0 =]

Thanks for the 5 also ^__^

[Beethoven- Moonlight Sonata]

nice work

good piece! it pained me when the song ended! oh well, it loops nicely. good job, nice piano. maybe you should add some reverb though. are you gonna make an extended version of this? its good, you should. if i made flash i would use it :P

5/5

-Exodus

KittenInAStocking responds:

Thank you very much!

[Don't Stop!!!]

ok, here is my review

nice kick! just slapped me right across the face when the song loaded. just a little fuzzy, the whole song, but i am sure that can be fixed!

good synths, are those all from vanguard? i gotta start using it more often :P

i like the filter fade ins, done well and used in all the right places. i like when the song gets to its peak and all the instruments are pounding, good basses and all.

good, unique melodies, good song for nodding your head to the beat lol! nice job, 10/10 and 5/5!

i might submit to the repository, but until then, we'll miss you on NG!

DJ-DaVinster responds:

"nice kick! just slapped me right across the face when the song loaded."
Heh, Thanks. Reverb does wonders.

"just a little fuzzy, the whole song, but i am sure that can be fixed!"
I might try fixing it later.

"good synths, are those all from vanguard? i gotta start using it more often :P"
Yeah, they're from Vanguard. Except the bass. That was made on 3xOsc & mastered like crazy.

"i like the filter fade ins, done well and used in all the right places. i like when the song gets to its peak and all the instruments are pounding, good basses and all."
Thanks, I tried.

"good, unique melodies, good song for nodding your head to the beat lol! nice job, 10/10 and 5/5!"
Thanks so much! :D

"i might submit to the repository,"
See ya there!

"but until then, we'll miss you on NG!"

[All Night [D]]

nice

good gabber. im not that into gabber, put this one is hard and pounding, and hectic, like it (probably?) should be. good instruments, how do you make these hoovers? cool distorted kick, i like how it fades in. whole song's just a bit muddy though, a little mastering can fix all of that. yea thats pretty much it. get some better vocals, the FL ones are lame lol! 5/5

-Exodus

(ps...actually, YOU owe me a review now, i've reviewed you 3 times and you've reviewed me twice >:-D)

DJ-DaVinster responds:

Yeah, hard, pounding gabber is what it's supposed to be. the Hoover is a 3xOSC Preset. Mastering would be hard. The kick's thing is full, and the Hoover, I dunno.

You don't have a 3rd song to review! Ha!
