DXVanille's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[- Ambiguous]

Pretty awesome

The melody/beat combination is irresistibly catchy, once the song really gets going. The hectic percussion really works well with the violin, which isn't an instrument I'd usually consider using. However, it's just a tad repetitive and I thus classify it as one of those songs that's "OMG sweet" for the first five plays and then "meh" after that until you stop listening to it for awhile and come back to it later.
Honestly though, I'm impressed. This trumps all my attempts at DnB.

Or4nges responds:

Thanks man! I agree, it is pretty repetitive, I meant to go back and fix it, but I got cought up in new projects, and coming back it just wasn't as exciting anymore. I might remaster it though, I've got some new tricks up my sleeve. We'll see.

I'll check out your DnB sometime :P

[Horizons (Remix)]

Beast.

IMHO one of your best songs. Epic remix.

[Logon]

Totally fantastic.

You should have more of your music up on Newgrounds, man. It's amazing. This piece is basically a demo of your abilities, and it's wicked. Love it.

You should put up Tageri or Treasure Dancer or something. ;D

[Cyber Blastah]

Hmm

I'm pretty confused as to the low score of this song. I suspect you're just a random zerobombing victim. Well, in any case, I thoroughly enjoyed this track. The melody's very, very catchy, and the instruments employed all worked well together. You segued nicely into the piano bit and back out again, so the transitions were A-1. The background effect (whatever exactly it was) added to the song but never became intrusive or blocked any other elements out. Honestly, color me impressed.

NekoHazrd responds:

Thank you for the review, it really means a lot. I'm still practicing though. Whenever I make music, I always make sure that no sound effect gets drowned out by another, because if something like that happens you would just be listening to a muffled mess. Thanks again for the review, I really appreciate it.

[The Rise of the Cheshyre]

Quite nifty

It was an incredibly pro fusion of sounds. A very detailed piece altogether, a nice tune, and I did enjoy listening to it, but there was something about it that didn't quite grab my attention and make me say, "Man, I wanna listen to more of this!" So I give it a solid 9. Nonetheless, I believe it deserves more than a 4/5, so you get a 9/10 and 5/5 from me. Nice work indeed.

cheshyre responds:

Thanks for being honest! and thanks for the 9!!!

[SH - Homeless]

Pretty amazing...

...that there were no samples involved. It's quite cool that you did all this with a guitar, a piano, and some drums. Keep it up, bro.

[[Xepho] -Fire-]

Niiiiiice.

Super catchy. It's hard not to bob your head to it, haha. Good melody, good percussion, all-around pretty sweet.

Plus, as you can see from the comment below, this song is cheshyre-approved, which is pretty awesome in itself.

Xepho responds:

Thanks alot man :D i am blessed to have to the approval of cheshyre himself :3

[Des the Dark King]

Sweet.

It's excellent "Evil boss battle"-type music. A good lead and you did a lot with it. Very nice melodies you came up with and I liked the diversity of the piece. It never got repetitive thanks to that, and I enjoyed it the whole way through.

DesoloZ responds:

u should listen to part 2 and 3 on my music wall.

[I'lL DrilL]

Hah, nice stuff

I remember seeing this on the new song list when it was first uploaded, and remember liking it. It appeared at around number four, I think, on the list of techno songs, when it only had about 5 votes. It dropped off the first page of the list quickly, though, but I'm really glad to see it come back again, because:
--I like the melody
--I like the various instruments you employed throughout the song
--I can tell that a ton of effort went into this
--It's quite catchy and sounds professional
So yeah. Basically, quality stuff. From one music artist to another, congrats.

Feddey responds:

Hey DX! =)
Thanks for the review! I'm really glad you liked it and thx for all the compliments.
When i hear things like this it's really worth the hours spent on creating this piece!

Appriciate it! ;)

[At the enrichment center...]

Not bad at all, bro

I like that you're making a Portal-inspired song because that's exactly what the dev team I'm part of is doing right now. Actually, we're making a Portal mod, but I write about half the music. Point is, I like your style. Lotta emotion to this bit.

Thing is, from 1:00 onward, I found it a little hard to buy that it was Portal music. Maybe it was the kick? Well, the ambiance to it was the best feature, but I think it could be slightly more...sinister. Yeah.

Good job with this one, though, keep it up.

STEPHEN4705 responds:

Yeah, I kinda (unfortunately) rushed the kick. I should've just added the bass without it, but I guess its a bit late now :P
Maybe I'll try again at a later date without the kick and sidechain, maybe it'll work better. As for sinister.. I think I can manage that.

Anyways, I'll go check out your stuff now :P
