youngold's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Heavy Track Preview [trance]]

Not bad. Has some potential!

I'm happy when i clicked on the link i didn't hear some shitty eurotrash.
This is actually some pretty tight psytrance.
The bass sidechaining sounded a little bit off at the start of the drums, but with the hats and claps sounded good.
Please check out my stuff too! I've got electro house, trance, whatever :D

GodBlock responds:

I know what you mean, everything on here sounds the sAmE[head]

I'll definitely check out your stuff but right now I need to bed.

Thanks for the review :D glad you like

PS I checked out some of your stuff ITS FUCKING WICKED!!

[Nostalgia In Space (NG Cut)]

woahwoahwoahwoahwoah!!

What do we have here...
We have one of the greatest progressive house tracks that I've heard on newgrounds.
I think a slightly longer kick would be good, and a slightly stronger bass.
Nice structure for a radio edit.
Otherwise. awesome :D
10/10

see 2nd edit on my youtube page :) thanks for listening!

[{dj-N} Theory of Everything XL]

Oooh nice!

You should consider making a DJ-friendly mix.

Nice sidechaining, loved it. Not really sure why you used triplets, but, well... that just might be your type of style. Sounded celtic lol.

Also, I think this goes more under House rather, than Trance... your choice. And that low pass filter at 3:40 was impressive.

Otherwise, it was very fresh, very unique... 9/10.

[{Fly In The Sky} (NG cut)]

Hmmm... It's a bit too much sidechaining?

Dunno, maybe it's just me, but I think the sidechaining's a little bit on the intense side.
The sounds were excellent, harmonies were beautiful, and was mixed in superbly.
Maybe put a bass pad in the fills? It would probably make it sound more "full" in the areas without the kicks.

You chose an excellent tempo. I think Newgrounds needs more of this 125-135 BPM stuff. The audio portal is STUFFED with hardcore 160 BPM (AND UPWARDS!!) music.

And also, the claps were a little thin? Maybe layer it with a snare?
This is just all my opinion towards Trance music.

I enjoyed it, and I approve this message. *thumbs up*

Yust responds:

If I remember my tempo was around 132... and my clap is too sidechained.

YES, NG needs more of slow tracks. I totally agree. thanks for the review! :)

[TM3 - Purple]

Nice. Techno I think?

It's about 10 BPM slower than most trance songs, so I think it's safe to call this Techno music. I like how you filtered the piano at the start.

I thought it was weird about half way through that you had a kick on every second beat, but in a way it was unique. Near the end, you had a snare on every beat. This destroys the whole upbeat feel, so don't do it.

Maybe next time, make a more complicated harmony, and use more auxilliary/passing notes in your melody. If, like me, you studied music theory, you should be able to understand this.

In terms of EQ-ing and mixing, I didn't think it was too bad. Maybe a bit less on the lows?

Overall, it should be a tad more interesting. Maybe add strings/pads?

Great work, considering it was one of your first tracks.

[Breakdown Test]

Pretty neat.

You gave me a review, so I'll give you one:
-Breakdown was awesome!! I like how it just went straight into a dubsteppy-ish beat.
-I don't know about all the melodical and harmonical parts... it seems a bit weird.
-The kick was a bit annoying. Maybe soften the distortion a bit.

Other than that, that was pretty sweet.

LiNaK37 responds:

"I don't know about all the melodical and harmonical parts... it seems a bit weird."

Well most of my songs are unbearably weird so I guess it's good you only find one part weird with this one

[ParagonX9 - Chaoz Airflow]

Amazing!

Drums, bass, harmonies and melodies were all well balanced. It overall was really interesting, from the detuned sawtooths to the vibrato hi-pulse-wave melody. I like how you automated routed cutoff frequencies. The change in colour at 1:51 was really soothing, and the bell and chime sounds were too. Use of reverb was superb. Possibly the best out of your 6 Chaoz songs.
Keep up the good work, and I look forward to listening to more of your music!

10/10, 5/5, downloaded, faved. *thumbs up*

[Feels Like Meh (NG Cut)]

Perfect!

You are up there with all the pros. This is one of the best progressive house tracks I've ever heard! I really like your type of style. It was all layered perfectly. Good old side-chain crompression. :D

You should be selling this stuff man! I look forward to hearing more stuff from you.

[Tetris Remix [Final]]

Nice!

I liked the beat, and all the different layered melodies. This sounds a LOT different
from other Tetris remixes, in a good way, of course.

I suppose you used VipZone samples, right?

[sonic colours]

Great use of major chords and drums!!

I first heard this song in Evolution Squared. I was utterly amazed by it. Very, very interesting, and I especially liked the vinyl sounds. Harmonies were very pretty, and original too. So beautiful, so relaxing. One of my favorite songs on NG.
You genuinely surprised me too!
