LiquidEvolution's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Out Of Fantasy (Original Mix)]

Damn

The intro grabbed me. I just knew this was gonna' be a good track. Nice intro, love the distant bass. Sure, it needs to be mixed and you need to choose better instruments but your composition is very interesting and very good on that note.

Your synths are good but as I said, you need to mix them and make them fit in with the rest of the song. Also, they aren't exactly powerful enough. The drums kinda' over-power everything.

Very creative bass. I really think it could be louder though. Maybe increase the low-bass freq' on it too so, it has that boom behind it to make the background fuller.

Your drums do over-power this track but then there's the one thing I can barely hear and that's the clap. I really suggest you work on this side of the track. Your crash sweeps are too loud as is some of the crashes. Your hats lack reverb and stand out way too much. One thing I do like is the kick. It has boom and punch to it so all I'm gonna' say is just turn it down a little to let the synths and bass through.

As for composition, this track is as close to perfect as it gets. Your melodies are beautiful and your transitions are amazing. Great work.

So as I said. You need to work on the drums and get better at mixing. Nice song mate, hope to hear more from you.

A very good review LiquidEvolution, you did notice many things I didn't like the clap and hats, I'll be fixing those tonight, as for the bass, I think it already stands out to much to make it louder so I will just leave it like that and about the synths, I wasnt looking for power synths this time but for beautiful harmonious and epic synths, but ye I think I will lower the volume of the kick to make them stand out more.

Thanks for the review!

You're gonna' be big

This song is crazy man. You already had a strong grip on me as soon as the song started. If you would have used a better clap and maybe worked on the mastering and added some reeverb here and there, this song would be 2x as incredible.

Okay, you're all good in the lead and synths department. There are a few that need some work though (Eg. the synth at 0:39). The lead at 2:23 is awesome but it sounds like you have a multiband compressor or a soundgoodizier or something like that over it. Whatever it be, it sounds compressed and it's really now powerful enough (Also, the pad behind the lead at 2:23 would sound really sick if you dropped it chord, I think anyway).

You drums are the letdown to me. The only thing I like is the snare rolls. You kick over-powers at 2:48 and the clap is too short. If you used something that has a longer tail on it, it would work alot better and fit the sound of the song.
I like your hats but I don't think your hat-line is powerful enough but it's good. I'd add a couple percs to it but it's not really needed at all.

Your bass is okay but I think if you increased the low-bass and treble (after you've fixed the kick) it will really stand out and become more powerful. I know in songs like this, you need a hard, powerful bass that can really be heard and it doesn't really come across for me.

As for the composition. It's perfect. You've really caught a grip of the pro' sound everyone looks for and I applaud you on that. Anyways, great song, keep up the great work.

Thanks a lot :D

This Melody Isn't Yours.

This melody is from Headhunterz - Power Of The Mind.

You fail.

[(WF1)/Tell Astral Feelings]

I hope this makes sense..

Now, I have never reviewed a classical song. As much as I do enjoy the genre, I know absolutely nothing about it so think of this as a classical review coming from the mind of a trancer.

Now, there isn't much I can critique 'cause you mentioned it was unmastered so the best quality isn't expected (Not just yet anyway :P). I like the mood this song creates. Uplifting and melodic. Gives me the thought of someone trying to overcome great struggle in their life. So in the melody sense, it's great.

Uhm, I'm not sure what else to write in fear of sounding like an idiot so, great song, lol. Best of luck to your future stuff.

wyldfyre1 responds:

yeah man, we've done our best on this. I did SOME Mastering to this but not that much. I really just wanted to get it out to hear opinions and such but damn dude i'll do what i can to get this puppy mastered to the point where it sounds uber pro LOL. Thanks for the review.

[-DxR- Blind side -demo-]

Not bad

Lol, who so short? :(. Okay, let's get to it.

First off, your melody is good but, it doesn't grab my attention. It's hardly something that people will be humming and it won't be something that will make someone listen to the song more than once. If I were you, I'd work on making that melody alot more epic and memorable so when someone hears it, all they can say is "Wow". The glistle saw in the background is out of time to me and screws up the whole song to me. Please, get rid of it.

I like your bass but there are parts where it just desn't work for me. Like 0:16. It just sounds jumbled. I'd turn it downaswell and up the low bass freq'. From what I'm hearing in my head, it would sound alot better.

As for the drums. The kick isn't bad. Nice and hard. Clap needs to be louder and the hihat needs EQing' aswell as treble reduction. The snare at the start would sound mad with a little pitch automation just on the last bar aswell. You crashes have a bit too much treble aswell.

I like the composition but there are parts where the song doesn't have enough power. For instance, the break into the verse at 0:15. It's not powerful enough to match the anticipation that the build up gave and it really lets the listener down.

Well, that's it for me. Hopefully this will help the final product and I wish you the best of luck for it.

Digital-Xcstasy responds:

Well Liquid not every song can be a hit! this was going to be a sub song like a remixer of the move it move song, lawl. but it still jumps

[Star_Crossed_Demo]

LMAO!

ENVY SAID WE'D NEVER FIND HIS GIRLFRIEND! LOLOLOL. I'D KNOW THAT LEAD AND KICK ANYWHERE!

As for the song. It's good but really reminds me of Envy's remix or BOUNC3's 'Jam'. The interlude before the main verse is exactly the same too. You can tell that it wasn't just him making this song though. Parts like 0:30 to 0:36 really are different from his usual style. I like the composition and creativity alot, there are parts that just make you bob your head. Great demo and I hope to hear the full thing soon.

Desyre responds:

Thank you :D

[Karco - Time For Morning]

Loss for words

I havn't been able to get this song out of my head all day. The vibe and feel of the song.. is just indescribeable. I'm at a loss for words of how emotional this song makes me. I can't critique on it, I can't even begin to explain all the elements I like about it. The only thing I can say is; this is perfection. No better way of putting it.

Karco responds:

Nah, it's not perfection, I'm not complaining if you think it is though. :D Thanks for the review and the praise, glad you like it!

[the birthday song]

You did it again?

You got top 5 again, you ass! As I told you when you first showed me tis, I don't think that lead has enough power. Other than that, it's a good song, too short though man.

CLKIN responds:

I DID?! :O
well,wtf?
its not mixed! O_O
(its just a birthday demo lol - i had to release something for my birthday)

[Run Jelly Run!]

Dude..

Can you imagine how trippy this would be if you were stonned?

L3WIS responds:

THANKS! =]

[Starfaller -R]

Sick!

I didn't think much of it when I head the intro but fuck, after 0:38, I knew this was gonna' be a sick song that it was. Nice and speedy with a nice melodic melody. Bass could be a bit harder but it's not that bigger problem. Overall, awesome song!

Rawrthaas responds:

thanks :D
