Phylanthropy's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[City of Dreams]

not very dream like

sounds more like a carnival then a dream

[Funky Ass Menu Music~~~~~~~~~~]

bravo

this is kish as hell =)

maybe you could have added some high pitch rythmatic stabs at the second half but for menu music this is as classy as it gets

LiNaK37 responds:

I agree, it is very kish.

[-dMb- Dream Away (Sample)]

waaaay to much going on here

you need to learn how to properly balance out your sounds because if you have everything up front its just going to sound like a big mess, the listener wont know what to actually listen to because you have all these powerful synth sounds fighting and clashing with each other, also you sort of shot yourself in the foot by drowning out the beat which is a huge no no in electronic music

MazinMark responds:

Thank you for the comment. I am sorry you did not enjoy my song, I will keep your suggestion in mind for any new submissions.

[You are the one - Dj Kirb]

sounds good

you could have dona bit more with the vocals like add some delay at the chorus or add a bit more reverb to give it a more tranceish feel because at some points it doesn't seem to have that much of an impact 2;24 -2;54 its an example of where you could have used this

since this is at about 140BPM you could have sidechained the pads with the kick drum to give it more of a jumpy feel

and one more nit picky thing is you could have added a low pass filter to chop off some of those higher frequencies coming from the synth at the end so the pads can come through a bit more without having to mess around with the volume

but it still sounds fantastic
it just needs a bit of polishing that's all

DjKirb responds:

Yeah, i just pretty much threw this together while i had it in my head, I'll polish it up, and re-upload. Thanks!

[Precious]

really really good

its a very well composed piece, maybe add some reverb on the higher frequencies on the piano to make the higher notes sound more dramatic, and it wont hurt to make the stings a bit louder .but really thats just nit picking it still sounds great

[Let It Fly]

a couple of problems

the string sound and the synth dont sound well together, and you might want to lower the volume of your kick drum, its distorting your synth listen to 2;07 and you might know what i mean.

i hope your enjoying you new studio mic =)

booyadiaz responds:

Thanks For Pointing that out.

[Pepper Dance]

the beats are a bit scatty

just clean up those beats and balance them out properly and you could be onto a winner

Methreee responds:

word, thats what i was thinking too. i needed to take a break from listening to it though, because then i get used to it.
*edit fixed the drums and added a underlying melody to accomp the guitars.
