Waidmann's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Something techno 4?]

Shit man You're back....

What can i say...track is alright for some...dark, underground,( ambient?) techno...
but theres two problems and you may already know one of them...

One is Mastering. The lead synth needs to be mastered so its not "killing" the rest of the track. You need to blend all of the elements of the song together so you can a nice mix. Try things like compression and equalizing to achieve a better result.

Second is your Composition. Your chords are...well...not really the best i've heard. They start out nice...but then quickly become out of tune and just...*shudder* not good :/
Im not trying to undermine you or anything but...im just trying to point out the things that i think that need to be worked on for your productions to sound better.

Food For Thought.
Keep it up.

DESHIEL responds:

Mastering... yeah I'm totaly f*ked up in that because I don't know a thing about mastering :D
About the chords.

I can't realy start and continue "Progressively" because I lack the skill to make it all connect you know.
Overall. I'm realy a bad user of Fruity loops.
Everything I know is from "toying" with it.
Thus I can never fully create what I want.

[~Electro House 2012~]

Hey man...

GREAT.FUCKEN.USE.OF.ZETA!!11!!(sounds like zeta) (oh and sidecchain too)

Also the whitenoise is killer and the melodies just..UGH (*fap*fap*fap)
But...
And yes...theres a but..
Snare is awkward.
Drum kick is awkward.
My Opinion.

In the actual Beat track...just layer a clap and a snare (make em sounds a little Deadmou5ey you know?) and im not saying you can get it perfect but just layer those two and you should be golden...also if you threw in some rev'd snares or hats to fill it up a bit....would've made the beat track that much more MONSTER!

Oh and also...another thing i wouldve done..at that tiny drop on 0:38 i would've snapped off the filter cutoff for the whitenoise a little later...doing that will again fill your track up...and will eliminate the need to layer your leads to make them sound HUGE.

Food For Thought.
Keep it up.

Thank you so much for your review! This is exactly what i need, and i know exactly what you mean, but im always failing when trying to fill up my songs :P Im really trying to learn new stuff to get top quality sound :P I will look on your review for my next song ;D Thanks again ^^

[Let me see your body move]

Hey not bad.

Of course for a house track like that...it's gonna need a bit more reverb to make it really fly (you know?)
The percussions are nice and all....but theyre useless without good transitions...your transitions are....ok at some points....but near the end of the track it kinds seemed that you're just turning tracks on/off which makes the whole mix sound kinds stale... if you gotta stretch out the track just for the transitions...by all means it could only make it better..

Food For Thought.
Cheers.

Webzex responds:

Hey man, thanks for the advice. yeah I could of pumped up the reverb a bit more for a house track your right.
and yeah near the end I did kinda get lazy transition-wise xD.

[TC - Clueless[Tease]]

Aw man...this sounds great man.

I mean i've done house for a little while and i couldnt really get my sound to get that more chilled (Thought i could've go over the edge with the ambiences and such but it never worked out)

It's a very good loop...if maybe i could use it in a production, (give you most of the credit) then i could make something nice out of it :) (with your permission of course)

D-Chain responds:

Thanks for ur time Waidmann

[Soft Piano]

Hey man.
Not bad with the piano, but its getting a little stale after the first 10 seconds already.
The cure to that is arpeggiating it a little (My opinion). Overall the song starts off nice...but it drags on for a good 40 seconds....if you arpeggiated it throughout that time span with some soft string chords...most probably would sound alot better :)

Food for thought my friend.
Keep it up.

ALECXACE responds:

Thnx will re-upload the new ver.
this one is old and I wanted some feedback
I luv it when people give feedback

[burst your bubble baby]

Sorry man but this track has no....ambient in it whatsoever...
I mean i dont know where to start...
Your vocals are way off with the main padlines and leads ( i think i heard leads)
Also the mixing...ah the mixing...so much of it need to be done.
The vocal track is overbearing..it crackles and is generally unpleasant. (I mean im not trying to make fun of your singing or anything)

But hey thats just my opinion man...
Remember with a little extra work you can always improve your act.
Good luck man :L

[Gravity]

Good use of Massive..
But your bass needs mastering.

Look into multiband compression, or a little mastering VST called Isotope Ozone 4.

DjThePluck responds:

okey im going to remaster it .
thanks.
