GershBeats's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Beating of my heart rmx]

I have no idea what's up with the biases in the previous 2 posts - they're examining your song very subjectively, ignoring the fine production and arrangement. If I had to criticize I would say that the sound /is/ quite generic, but the flip-side is that this genre is very hard to master correctly and you've done a good job.

I'd rate this 4/5, but since there's 2 idiotic zero-bombs on it I'm gonna say 5/5.

Airprogressive responds:

Thank u 4 your review & votes!

:)

This is hectic. You've got a terrific ear for melody and all the skill it takes to spin that into an audio file! 4.5 instead of 5 because it's too short! moremoremoremoremore xD

Lockyn responds:

Thanks so much :') I will be sure to finish this one up first, seems to be my most popular at the moment xD Cheers!!!

Lovin' the drums! Broski do you master entirely with FL or do you use other software as well?

DESHIEL responds:

FL only.

[ParagonX9 - Red 13]

Nice farty bass yo.

this is actually sick tho.

[ParagonX9 - Chaoz Fantasy]

This isn't bad (as you would expect the #1 song on newgrounds to be) but I don't get the hype! I mean this is 4/5 8/10 for sure, but that drum-staggering before it takes off really doesn't hit as hard as it ought to, I'm missing a strong higher-end synth, parts are really generic... it's really good but it's hardly great. It's a testament to good mastering more than anything else if ya ask me!

Great work but this could use a little more drama!

This isn't half bad for what it is.

My biggest complaint is the voice saying "this is a dzastabeatz production". I'm not sure if it's supposed to be there to prevent piracy or something, but it's awful lol.

I really appreciate the new tone it takes at 1:35, and I'm really not much of a hip-hop connoisseur!

I'm not such a fan of your piano - it's a little cheesy, almost like an epiano. You may be lowpassing it a little high? It also clips a tiny bit when it hits higher notes.

When you glitch the drums at 1:00 it clips a little too.

Overall, this isn't bad and I'm really impressed by the intense, emotionally-happy parts like 1:35. They're really feel-good! Easily a 3.5/5!

DzastaBeatz responds:

Thanks, That's some really good feedback! But yeah we put that tag in there just so no one would try and take it, Lol we just gotta get a better tag

[Desert Warrior]

Great dramatic drums! They sound great but they're far too loud - overtaking the mix when (I personally thing) they would be more effective backing up the voices, FX, and flute. They actually clip a little at some points, most noticeably around 0:30 when you use the reverse fill.

It's the only issue! Lower the drum volume and this will be really professional sounding I believe. You're using some great effects and the atmosphere is good.

[- Seems Complicated Enough]

This is NUTS. There is so much excellent work put into this that it's mindblowing. Everything is so careful! Kudos, this rocks.
