Bracksta's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Discover[Dj-S]]

The tune is great

I think a huge platium saw could have done this song wonders!!! cause the song is so kickin already. so one more build with that incorporated would have made a 10/10. Great work for using some elses system with limited time. Bravo!

Sacrafan responds:

Ok i will take that in to consid.

[Dance Aura[Dj-S]]

Smooth man!

wow the break at 1:44 was beautiful!!! and then when all the instruments came together was amazing!!! great job. just work on the build up to that part. make a lil less repetitive. at 00:23 you should have brought in the gate at 00: 33. this would have made the song progress alot quicker. your transitions are good and the instruments you used are like puzzle pieces. It was a great listen

Sacrafan responds:

i love you. lol

[Desolate Symphony]

video game

this song reminds me of like fanalfantasy music, sweetness!!! It was a good listen. ummm...oh, yeah tips! the song seemed pretty random, but i think that style went well with the name of the song. strong work!

jxl180 responds:

Thank you!

[Extreme Trip [Demo 2]]

rockin da synths!

the clearity of the synths is awsome, i like the tune alot, this is what trance is about. Good job i have really no comlaints. keep it up!!

jbarnett responds:

thank you for the review :) it is greatly appreciated. im hoping to have this song done by the end of next week

[Jxl180 - Tranquility]

kinks

make all one bpm, it seems off, idk. turn up synths, make the kick softer, don't distort so much, make the song flow like hot butta, lol. This song would be great with a lil editing. thanks for sending me an email, peace

jxl180 responds:

Thanks for the review.

[In Different Times]

use only garage band

not my kind of stuff, lol. the tune is good, but the reverb of your old system hurts this song. I knon that is that reverb wasn't there then this song would be a 9. so don't fret about it. i like that you are doing remixes of your old content.

metallikid6 responds:

Haha, it's nice to see you getting me back. Believe it or not, this is Garage Band too. I think i might've mixed it too loud or something... ::shrugs::
I'm surprised though - In Different Times?? Not even the techno bridge at the end??? I thought you'd be all over that. Ah well. This one could definitely benefit from better mixing. Don't worry. I'm not fretting. Later dude.

[New Introductions]

calm

i agree with the review below, the kick needs a delay. The song is really good, i like your synth choices and drums that eventually come in. I think your music is going get better and better. Garageband is really sweet for making ambient, i gound that out with my song brothers above. keep up the good work, i think we can collab pretty soon.

metallikid6 responds:

Yeah.. I noticed that after listening to my demo cut in the car. The kick is a little loud. Too ghetto for my taste, [AND I WROTE IT!!!]. I don't know if it would necessarily benefit from delay or some form of filtering, but it could definitely use something... Thanks for checking the new me out man. Good to know that you're savvy with Garage Band as well ;-]

[A New Energy - F-777]

great work

difinitely the constant movement you put into this song is what makes it bad ass, it never stops really the whole time. The slow down was awesome in the middle!!! Very proffesional, this is dance/trance

[Jxl180 - Distorted Dreams]

work on your intros

make them flow a lil better and make them shorter. Dude the synth at 00:43 was great!!! you should have made that the intro, i think you song would have gotten more recognition. Turn down the volume on the symbal biulds in your transitions, lol. It's certainly dramatic, but a lil hard on the ears, lol. next time make a solid kick over the echo kick to stablize the beat. 1:16 to 1:23 should have been left out to keep the songs from declining. when the tension is building don't bring it down so often, it will help you keep peoples intrest. Your music is creative and i think it is great, but the impatient voters of newgrounds would have only listen to part of the song. That part would been the intro and right after that to see what happens. So you need to put the songs best part int he beggining to hook them, then add to that part at the end for a climax. I think this will get you better scores, votes, reviews, and listens. I like the sharp synths that you used in this song and the other one alot. Keep these synths. Listen to a super popular trance song and analyze it's structure. Then make a similar structure and add your own personality to it to make it unique to you. I think that will help you alot. Work on your structure and you will be gold!!!

jxl180 responds:

HAHA! Nice! Thank you so much. With structure on most songs, I usually hear it start simple. Maybe one synth or so, but no percussion, but from there on out they just layer and layer. They have a synth, then maybe a kick drum on every beat. then add symbols, until it all builds up and is all together:

The best example is Zdarlight by Digitalism ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ePfIk GqHCQ )

[Natural State]

4/5

the intro, 00:00 - 00:56, was very gold, i liked it alot. It was a soft melodic preview to the rest of the song, about perfect man. You should have skipped 00:56 to 01:08 because the entrance of the low synth made almost another intro that wasn't needed. In other words the biuld to 00:56 wasn't great enough to down shift to bring in the low synth. Next time just bring in the low synth with the other parts. the drums at 01:39 needed to be turned down to appriciate the beauty of the synth and pad leading up to 2:13. Dude you should have had the part at 2:13 play somewhere else of late longer. That part rocked my socks, especially when the big kick was jamming with the huge, bass, house synths at 2:13. That part made the whole song kinda click, so props for that. It was a very peaceful and chilled listen, thanks for messaging me your new music. Peace Bro.

jxl180 responds:

Quite possibly the best review I have ever gotten. It was 100% helpful and told me exactly what I should have excluded and needed to do. I may make a second version with these suggestions. Thank you so much!
