Shabadaman's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fortress]

MAKE MOAR :D

Panomosh responds:

I'm on the case!

[Love Comes Again (RMX!)]

This is extremely lazy for you man, what's happened? Aha I'm only joking, It's definitely somewhere to start! Shame that you couldn't find a higher quality acapella, it would have improved the song immensely.

Apart from that, continue building on what you have! It's already got potential to be awesome!

Till next time!

D-Chain responds:

im soooooo lazy man. cant help it lol
myea.. its a shame there isnt a higher quality available!
also since this is the only acapella available, its not a full one.
but still its enough to fill a breakdown with for example ;)

see yah! ^_^

[Infinite Happiness]

Well, at least you had a good time constructing the song! Even though it isn't your best, it's still catchy and good to listen to :)

Everratic responds:

Thankyou! I agree.

[MrKittie - SMTM]

I just looked at my fans and found you there, didn't expect that! So here's a review for you!

This is brilliant, the melodies are absolutely fantastic. I feel like i'm in a dream state listening to them! Really wel done with that.

The quality of this song goes beyond pleasant melodies and infectious drumbeats. The mastering is superb. Your work really reminds me of netsky! I'm sure you get that a lot, but it's true.

The piano was great at the end, really summed up the beauty of the piece.

I know this isn't your favorite song of yours, but it's the most recent. Saying that this isn't the best song for a producer is silly really, It just speaks volumes about how good you are!

5/5
Added you to my faves!

[Distant Universe (Final)]

I'm surprised you didn't use a limiter, some of these sounds are phat! The silence and build up of your synths around the 1:00 mark is great, sounds really professional. Your style is quite profound I must say, it really shows through (and that's a good thing) I don't know if I agree with TheDoor6, since the whole song can't be a block of sound. It's a nice and relaxing breakdown.

The boring and rigid part of me feels slightly agitated at the bongos around 2:41, yet i'm a big fan of expression through music. If you like it in there, keep it in there. (that's what she said x9000 I know)

Great piece, i'm looking forward to more!

Everratic responds:

Thankyou for the review! The first thing I did when I made the song was create the drum beat. And with out all the synths, the bongos sounded very good with the drum beat so I kept it. But with the synths, they don't sound as good, but I still like them.

[The Vortex [FULL]]

A relaxing and calming piece. The added suspense towards the end works well too.

Great work!

[Taking Flight (HDF2)]

What a lovely and pleasant sound you've presented us! The synths are wonderful, crisp and beautiful. The melody lines are amazingly chilled and relaxed, yet offer enough variation to keep the listener interested. The bass doesn't overcrowd the mix, yet has enough of a presence to make a difference.

I'm a big fan of fellow producers taking steps into territory that may be unfamiliar to most, and you really have flourished in this unknown area of pleasant dance/trance.

If I were to give some helpful advice, It would be to experiment with your songs. I'm starting to do this myself, and it does broaden your horizons to an extent. Being able to transfer skills and techniques from one genre to another is a great ability, and i'm sure that once you do experiment with different styles, this will come naturally.

I've added you to my favorites since you give excellent reviews and songs to the public, this is me doing my part to give back.

Till next time!

Music-story responds:

I've tried to do more clubby kind of songs, but after failing miserably in those areas, I've found my niche which is to make music that has light happy themes. It also is a style I enjoy creating, while the former is more frustrating rather than fun to make. Nevertheless, I'm not going to close myself to one type of theme. As you mentioned, if I have a time of inspiration to create another music of different genre, I'll do it. However, I will probably never make a song that has the usual chorus and main beat only as that is mainstream and somewhat repetitive for my taste.

Bye for now

[Under Cover of Darkness]

The lead synth is amazingly catchy. Seems like this is a fusion of minimal house and techno to me.

Anyway, great song!

TjpjMusic responds:

Thanks :)

[Summer]

This song is great, it's one of those that can even give someone like Gordon Ramsay a wide smile :D

I like the varied use of harmor and sytrus, just goes to show that some people have the potential to create unique sounds!

As a critique though, (being nice will only help so much) I would suggest varying the patterns a bit. There isn't really a build up of sorts, it feels more like a techno song than trance. Maybe you could try developing your skills in devising awesome leads?

I'd like to listen to a song that includes your chilled and relaxed style but also includes a catchy melody, it would be a nice break from all the hardcore and heavy stuff everyone (including myself) produces nowdays!

Continue developing your style, I look forward to hearing more stuff like this! You've gained a fan, which means i'm watching you...

Just kiddin'

TjpjMusic responds:

I'm glad you like it :) I will try and keep that in mind in future songs.

[Airbag]

Are you sure you put this in the right genre? This isn't trance at all. Whatever genre this is supposed to be, I don't think you're quite there. Sounds as if you made this in a free midi player of some sort, there is absolutely no effort put into mastering or even EQ'ing any of the tracks, plus there are a few melodies out of time with each other and may be off key also.

I do like the melody at around 2:30-ish. It's a break from the dull boring cluster of random tracks you've presented. I didn't even want to sit through the entire song for fear that my ears would bleed, but I did anyway.

If there is another hobby that you could pursue, please switch to that. Until you make something decent with anything close to a conceivable structure, effort to master or even effort to do anything, please don't post. I don't want to be the guy that says this and it pains me to do so, but I only gave you a star from pure pity.

Have a nice day, maybe when you decide to spend more than 10 minutes on a song you can become famous and prove me wrong, who knows?
