Bracksta's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-Winds of Change-]

very unique

i really like how you slow down time, i enjoyed your use of guitars. This song just needs more clearity, i know the system you are working with makes that difficult. This song matches it's title. i really like the creativity and mix of genres on this songs. this is one of my favorites of yours

metallikid6 responds:

=] Thanks Brad. I would really love to do this one again on a better program. I'm currently experimenting with Garage Band and if I get good enough on it, I wanna redo my really good songs off of that program and see what comes up.

[Jxl180 - Experimental]

very true to it's name, lol

i wasn't a fan of the beginning, but after 00:38 it was all stars, i really enjoyed the pads in the background. The pads made me feel a different emotion as they changed notes in harmony with the wierd little filtered synth. it is hard to describe random feelings from a random song. hey, man it was a good listen, thanks.

jxl180 responds:

Thank you for getting back at me. Yeah, this was also a way to see different pads that I haven't really got chance to see yet.

[Jxl180 - Run With It]

great treble

the melody is very good and the synths and pad are very perfected. I know from your reviews on my music that you like bass alot, lol. Me and you either have a difference in opinion or just different styles. I thought the bass was a lil to heavy distorting the song and making it less crisp and dancy. So everything in the song was great besides the bass levels, just turn it down a lil.

jxl180 responds:

Everyone has different styles and techniques, otherwise every song would sound the same. I'll try lowering the bass and seeing the difference. If it makes a significant difference and improves the sound, I'll upload the new version.

Thanks,
jxl180

[Jxl180 - Endless Night]

hey buddy

it's me Bracksta, really name Brad. i'll give you the pluses. You didn't get rid of very close to all of the repition, which is not easy, so you did very well. The beat is much stronger i like that alot. i didn't get bored listening at all. You are definitely moving forward. oh, ya and i liked the expiremental vocals. tips: make some more hard melody synth that stand out over all the other parts. One thing i have found that is pretty successful. Pick a tune and carry it through out about half the song as the chorus, but change the instrument that plays the chorus every time, or every other time. if you have any questions bro jus message me. Or if you want me to review any of your work ever i will buddy. i will always give you my honest opinion. - Bracksta, peace

jxl180 responds:

This is the best and most helpful review I have ever seen on NG.

Thank you so much,
jxl180

[ElasticExpress]

finish it

the bass or lead synth is awesome. My suggestion is speed up the song and add a very stong bass kick, or beat to drive the song. Good work Miir. - Bracksta

Miir responds:

Thanks for the review, Ill see how it sounds sped up and mess with the bass drums a little. Maybe it will get me past the block that I seem to have with this song. Thanks for the suggestions.

[Deuce19 - A(m)]

REMIX

if want to make a BA remix of this follow my tips man, trust me. I listen to alot of Dj Nate and Corn and Beans, they have vital elements you should copy for a remix of this song. 1. Take the beats per minute and put them us really high like aroung 160 - 180. 2. Cut out some of the biulds in the song and fill them with you final sound you made at 2:01. 3. Make some really Bright synth triplettes to flow above the moving sounds below. Do these thing and you got a sweet song. that's my review. hey check out corn and beans and Dj nate's song for an example of what i am talking about. - Bracksta, peace bro

deuce19 responds:

I listen to those two a lot. They definitely have the sound I would like to mimic. I will take your tips into account and see what I can create next! Thanks for the review.

[Stuck on a Name]

improvements

well i like the start alot, then the whole song sounded like the start. In other words, cut down on the repitition. like if you would have had some huge changes in tune or song then went back to the original tune the song would have been great. i really like the brief synth that enters at 2:34. you should put more of that harder synth in your next song.

jxl180 responds:

Thank you for the review.

I thought it might be too repetitive, but in my opinion it is better than veering off completely to another tune/beat, that I used to do (check out Heist). It, for some reason, took me a while to realize that trance pretty much sticks to the same beat throughout. My older songs were pretty much different beats and tunes put together. It didn't have any structure. So this time I tried to make sure it had the same tune/beat throughout, and this caused the repetition. I will try again today or whenever i have time for a new song, and I will use your suggestions.

Thank you very much,
jxl180

[100 km (ft.Mira)]

hey, it's me agian

i like the other song better, it had a much better tune. Mira's voice is beautiful, tell her that for me. Good job guys. if only i new russian, lol. - Bracksta, peace

Xtreminal responds:

There is always time to practice it. I speak fluent 4 languages, then why don't u?

Yeah, I understand not everybody may not like the tune but this is music and everybody got different taste.

Thanks a lot for your comment anyway

[Bez Tebya (feat.Mira)]

good stuff

i like the song alot and i think i would like it more if i could understand Russian, lol. So good work i think, lol. russian rap sounds cool. - Bracksta

Xtreminal responds:

Practice a lot and u will learn it. Russian isn't so easy language but u can do it. Key factor is how much u are giving the effort.

[-"Intro"-]

Good Intro

It was a very classic intro to a cd. it reminded me of a linking park intro. for a title, find a different word for birth or beggining like, awakening. Hey that is good, lol. Dude use Awakening for the title that would be sweet. - Bracksta, peace bro

metallikid6 responds:

Thanks so much for your review. It means a lot to me. Hmm... Awakening huh? That could inspire me for future songs I may write. =]
