Oakwood's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fart Ringtone 1]

This would've been good..

If you put a beat under it. Now it's just a sequence of farts pitched up and down, repeated 15 times (did not count). I can imagine this being a funny ringtone though.
5/10, 2/5, for the effort. :P

[HoodStep]

Started out well.

Until you went all glitchy. It just didn't fit well. Your attempt to make this into some sort of glitch-hop song kinda failed, and it killed the mood. I'm sorry, but I would've liked it better if you left it like it was in the beginning.

THanks for your honest opinion.. I may post another version later.

[MegaMan Party]

Lalala...

It's really nice, the tribal beat in the beginning was really good and the song as a whole had a really relaxing feel to it. It was kinda reptitive, and I didn't really like the double-speed kick you replaced with the original beat halfway through. Also the phaser on the lead synth is a biiit too much.
8/10, 4/5

JP-SuperFresh responds:

Thanks I'm glad you liked the first half at least. I did the double kick because I like that kind of stuff too so I think it shows my versatility and my personality. It's a spontaneous beat. Thanks for taking the time!

[Phazor - Dusanix]

Not bad.

It's a good song, but the phaser on the lead is way too overwhelming, you should really turn that down. Also, work on your mastering, the lead synth is pretty loud, nad the synth that starts at 0:28 is even more overwhelming and makes the whole thing clip a bit. You should try sidechaning the lead to your kick, that give this song some more balance.
7/10, 3/5

[Theim - Every Single Day]

Nice.

This song has a great feel to it. The bass, the strings, the sax, they all mix so nicely. THe song is really repetitive though, you might wanna bring in some variation.
Nicely done! 8/10, 4/5

[Valentine 35%]

Whew!

That shit be good man! I can't believe you made all that with 3xOsc, I normally don't get that far with it. Great lead synths, and the beat also had a great vibe to it. I recommend to use some more bass though, I kinda missed that now.
Great one, man! 9/10, 5/5

Darkfire96 responds:

You ask and I shall deliver :3
Its only gonna get better :)
I honestly cant use complex plugins, so 3xosc is like my only choice now lol.
Thanks for the 5/5!

[Show Me The Way Ft. BT]

Goood!

Great dubstep song, man! The synths you used are awesome! Though I think you went kinda overboard with sidechaning everything. Make the sidechaining a bit less so it doesn't sound like the kick is overriding everything.
Furthermore, that snare is a bit soft. Dubstep like this should be poewrful, so the snare should seriously be punching me in the face. It's not now, though. Make it tougher! Just EQ the shit out of it until you get it right!
Last thing, I think the girl is a great singer, but the vocals could have some more variation.

Keep it up!
5/5, 8/10

[{In the Moment}]

I hear z3ta

That lead synth you hear at 0:08, that's a z3ta preset, isn't it? Hehe, I can tell, I've used it in one or two songs of mine as well. Lovely synth.
However, that synth is a bit overriding though, you should lower it's volume a bit. Same goes for the kick. Also, add some hihats, I was kinda missing those. The calp was pretty nice.
Another thing you should think about is playing with your melodies. Right now you constantly have the same melody going on, albeit using different synths. It would be better if you'd make some small changes in the melody halfway through the song, to give it that extra bit of variaton. Also, work on your ending, it's kinda abrupt now.

4/5, 8/10

Could you return the favor on my latest song? :)

[Chains VIP (NG Edit) - Harlock]

No reviews yet?

Strange, this is the first NGADM song I've seen without any reviews. Anyway, here's your first :)
As soon as I heard the lead at 0:11, I knew it: sidechaining. Really, I think that you would've sidechained this lead a bit, the song would gotten a much better flow. Either that, or you should've sidechained the pads in the background, that should work as well.
Your kick, btw, is a bit too loud. It overrides the other sounds, especially the pads. Tone it down. Also the vocals in the calm part at 0:55 come in a bit too sudden. I suggest you leave them out for a few seconds so you only hear the plucks, and then bring them in.

Good song, with a few flaws.

4/5, 9/10.

[Pleasantly Surprised /SN/]

Kewl.

I think you should put this in the Dubstep section even though the song consists of more genres.
Like others have pointed, work on your mixing. The drums, and by that I mean kick, stand out a bit too much. That might have been intentional (it's Dubstep, after all), but now they're really overriding. Also yes, the snare needs reverb. And I know you're saying that it didn't work for your lower snare, but then you should just layer it with a high-end clap, give that some reverb, and make it wet as shit. Holla, there's your (fake) reverb.
Also, About the dubstep part, It clearly consists of two patterns, a filthy one and a calm one. And they differ SOOO much that I'm not even sure they should be put together (now that I'm typing this I suddenly understand the title of the song :P).

Cool song, but needs some work.

4/5, 8/10.
