Syntrus's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hidden Thoughts [WiP]]

Ok lets check this

Nice mix.

The Trance chord is good but you need something. The bass is a little off in terms of interest. Try and think of ways you can make the song interesting by experimentation with different synths. Experimentation will make your song stand out in the trance genre. But I think you are well on your way to success.

Mich responds:

Will do :)
I'm always adding new things.
I'll notify you when it's finished.

thanks for the review. :)

Nice song.

I think the kick is a little metallic. The synth that starts around thirty six seconds in is a little bit to sharp. It does sound like zenons stuff but I wouldn't go with his tips all the time. I like the filter and everything but it sounds compressed and unnatural to me. at 1:39 you changed the whole song up for a very nice synth line. The Song picked up from 1:39 and was generally enjoyable if not a little sharp. Favorited just the same. good work.

Mich responds:

I don't think metallic would be the right word for the kick to be honest. It just misses some hig frequencies.
You're right there, my synths could've been a bit better in here :p

Yeah, Zenon's stuff isn't exactly the best production-wise, but he surely has some skills. Overcompressed, I'm gonna have to agree with you there.

And yeah, I'm proud of that melody I made from there on, it's what makes the song good imo :)

Thank for the review! =)

Nice heavy track

I feel like i'm under water. Wow now that sounds good. Favorited.

Mich responds:

Yay, thanks :)

[DJ Derrick--New Trance (WIP)]

nice and vacant

Its a little hot but very nice. I really do like the warm feel of the synths and the track has a nice vacant feel.

Yodamanjaro responds:

thanks man!

[Escaping the Daily Routine]

Cool tittle

Jazz and ocean sounds then some submariney music sounds like something from a maxis game. thats a tough sound to achieve good work. Then you had this digitally transition which was odd, yet enjoyable.

I could see this being used on NG in the flash portal. good clash of genres nice work keep experimenting. 9/10 5/5

tijnn responds:

Hehe yeah when the glitch falls in most people don't like it anymore, it's too experimental for most people i guess. I'm glad you liked it though!

Thanks for the kind review.

[Pickin' and Missin']

This sounds like an extremely retro Pepsi Ad.

Good Scoring. Nice work if I was making a vintage cola ad I would use this track nice VG tone g job.

Here is what I liked
The overall effort and enthusiasm with the musical side of this track. You can tell it was thought over. Just nice up beat modern song good job man talk to you in the chat.

loansindi responds:

Hey, thanks for that. I'm a big fan of this track

[Rosco Interlude (Fixed Remix)]

Neat.

The Fuzz at the beggining was not as good as or equal to the fuzz at the back. Clean it up a bit and I could use it in horror movie.

Erkie responds:

They're both the exact same fuzz, one just has more oscillation then the other. although I should have put the more in the beginning and less in back.

[Shred-A-Long: Session 2]

Tight

Can I fuck with this? I would really love DJ fucking this its a fabulous beat.

Gorgorothx responds:

Hell yeah dude!! That's what I made it for!

Hip hop ala Greeksta

One thing I really admire you for is the ability to get that flawless sound into each and every single one of your songs. I would really like to know how you do it. I may have turned down the hats a bit but this is really un-fault-able in terms of production values. I would appreciate a PM with some production secrets particularly anything you can tell me about hip hop. Stop by and check out latest sci fi beat

Syntrus :)

Greeksta-69 responds:

I don't even know what my methods are anymore.
I start with a sick drumline, it has to be banging
Then I slowly build the track up from the bottom up
After I laid down decent chords and drums sometimes i skip right ahead to the lead cause i get trigger happy basically with my keyboard lol.
Then add some fills and you are set to go.
You need to have the tonic and rythm, need to have realistic sounds, quality is important aswell.

Thanks for the review, I appreciate reviews like this a lot
BTW You are right about the Hi-Hats should of turned them down

Mich love
Greeksta

[Ready to Kill]

Sounding very nice

Fuck yes this is the best shit I have heard all year. Its full of attitude and brings it all in and out at just the right times. Just "master" it and your set.

Geoplex responds:

Awesome :)
I might master it tomorrow. Not sure..
Thanks for the review! :D
