DJ-Chilvan's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dreamscape - Without You]

omg...

I'm speechless. This is one of the best tracks I've heard on NG. I loved the Poizone VST in the background. It's ironic, because i just released a song of the same genre, using Poizone as the arp in the background, with the same note sequence you used =). Vocals = 10. Quality = 10. Originality = 10. Which mic did you use? I need one real bad (maybe as a christmas present lol). Which "autotune" program did you use? (maybe not an autotune, but like vocal effects).
Wow. That's all I have to say. When I get home this song is going straight to my iPod.

eliashellfire responds:

Thanks alot for the excellent review man =) Yeah Poizone isn't used much by NG artists but that along with Toxic are actually pretty decent!
I used an Apex181 USB Condenser microphone. Not incredibly expensive and gives you great vocal quality.
I used the pitch corrector plugin from Adobe Audition but did some weird effects to it from FL 8.

[Messy robot Repair]

SEGA

I like your choice of VST. They give this song a SEGA Genesisian type aura. The loops go well with eachother. This song is simple, but it says something. I believe that a musician's VST choice is just like a writer's diction. The way the synth-guitar comes in, I love that. The only downfall is the beat. It's good but could be a little more complex, like, it should have been building up 'til the end. Overall though, this is a pretty solid track. Great job!

Sawdust responds:

Thanks dude, even though I never really played anything SEGA, I find that to be a compliment, although a bit ironic seeing how I didn't aim to make a video game type song. But still, thanks, I'll try salvaging the old loops of FL8 into FL9.

[DJO - Time Shift (feat. Unrl)]

This is some good shit

I don't have much to say, but great job! Which VST/soundpack did you use?

DJOrsa responds:

Messed around with Nexus, Vengeance, and a little in Reason.
3x Osc for some and I tried some bassline synthesizers too.

No stock samples were used. Everything was EQ'ed and made super wet, effects-wise. :D

Thanks for the review. :)

[Noisy - Lifehouse: Beacon]

nice melody

I like the melody to this song.
Your style is very nice, I like how you add melodies upon melodies to avoid repetitiveness.
The main synth in the background is very cool. It's kinda catchy.
This song sounds victorious like.
Im sorry if this review is a lil choppy, im drunk tired now.

INoisy responds:

Thanks very, very much ;D Always makes me feel good. (:

I actually reviewed one of your songs yesterday, dunno if you noticed or not. I knew I recognized you. Peace, dude.

[{Dj-L} Euphoric Ecstasy]

nice!

I love the melody in this one. Plus the synth sounds you used. The beat is nice and the song is short so it's not that repetitive. It would be nice if you would have added some more variation though then make it a lil longer. 5/5

Meonly70 responds:

Thanks man :D

[(N-BU) Instrugator]

not bad

As a second track, this song is pretty nice. I really like the whole fancy pattern to it. It sounds a little Akonish. The beat is too simple though, and it could use a lil more parts to it to make it less repetitive. But overall, nice job.

[Invention No. 1]

nice

The pizzicatos were sick! The piano was nice too, but the way the strings entered, it was too loud and sudden and they later on drowned half the song. If they slightly faded in, it would be better. Maybe, if you could make the strings more orchestral, like add a lil reverb and tone them down a lil. Finally, you could add a lil more, like harmonies and such.
I do admire your style of music. I respect you.

loansindi responds:

Thank you for the review.

This was a piece I threw together after a night of not sleeping, so there's certainly a lot to be improved.

[Animation Voice Demo Reel 2]

i'd hire you but...

I dont know how to make animations =/.
You did a superb job! I dont see anything wrong with this.

[Final Countdown (DnB Remix)]

perfect

10/10
5/5
DL
You really performed well in this.

[p4c-Sometimes I Forget]

wonderful

Wow, surely blows my own out the water. If you need some helpful tips, try increasing the volume of the melody in the areas where the beat is intense. Also, maybe reduce some of the echoes a weeee (very wee) bit in some areas where they mix. As for the ending, maybe just extend it some more. Kudos.
-DJ Chilvan

p4c responds:

yeah i think i should also make at least some variation [even in the main section right now, a lot of ppl say its too repetitive but i dont think ppl partying would care too much ahha]. maybe build up again. ill see. and i think maybe i can do better than jst increasing the volume by looking at the compression on the track right now because it might just be forcefully drowning the leads out hehe. mixing is such a pain without accurate speakers/headfones haha.

im glad you liked it, and rock on!
