DjAbbic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hm yea]

Didn't even realise it was looping for like 10 loops. Nice and catchy, but it does seem hard to turn into a full song as it is currently (not that it matters, works just fine as a loop).

D-Chain responds:

Thanks Abbic!
even though you think it seems hard to turn this into a full song,
perhaps it doesn't sound like the usual dubstep or takes a turn for the worse,
im still going to 'finish' it the best way i can :)
Maybe ill throw in some trap or create a trap-like structured song.

[Tobias Oakly - That Evening(Wip)]

Quality as always. I like how I've went from trying to find small things to nitpick to not bothering anymore. This one sounds like it has a lot of potential, hope to hear it finished at some point :)

D-Chain responds:

Thanks Abbic!
i can somewhat relate to your thoughts and nitpicking ;)
specially the vocal chops. it disturbs, because there is no real structure. to name something.

[No Sleep Tonight]

Very nice and chill though. Really good work with this. Loops so well too :D

[Pendulum - The Island (Windlux Remix)]

I clicked the link and saw the title and was like "YISSSS". I agree with the person below, the buildup did have me expecting more. I think it's a matter of synthwork, the lead saw (the crisp one) seems a little bit thin, and there isn't enough mid-low bass going on (not sure of the exact terminology, I can hear a sub but usually there's another synth playing low-ish note to fill that lower mid frequency range).

The arrangement is on point though. The track itself already sounds pretty good, I just think that with better synthwork it could sound even better. I can't really comment on percussion since it's one of my weak points, but it does sound well arranged. I personally like my kicks a little stronger but that's personal preference :p.

Good job on this, keep it up!

KORAII responds:

Thank you man :D ill remember that for later tracks, tho its hard to remember the little things when im using the demo version :/ im glad you like it ;)

[The Less Fortunate]

Trap/drumstep version of this sounds exciting to me. No idea what goes into this genre so sadly I have no constructive criticism to offer this time, just dropping by to say I'm looking forward to the remix :p

D-Chain responds:

Ill probably Go for the more melodic drumstep, its much more euphoric and certainly fits this remix the best. But ill make sure to have some trap elements aswell.
And same to you abbic, im looking forward on working on it again and eager to show more

[His Memory (His Theme​/​Memory Lockyn Undertale Remix)]

Just beautiful. I really can't say much more than that. The little vibrato lead at 1:00 is so perfect I actually gasped. I've never played this game, but it seems that it has a great soundtrack for remixing since I've seen so many remixes.

Again at 2:15 you nail the synthwork. Everything just works perfectly. Props to you for such a enjoyable listen :).

If I had to be reaaallly picky, it would be that I found the snare at 3:15 a little bit out of place, and also the last piano note in the outro was a bit weird (it kinda blipped). It's really no big deal though, the track is pretty much flawless.

Keep it up!

Lockyn responds:

Hey DjAbbic, glad to see you're alive and kicking. I still remember listening to that electro house track of yours a while back and it was killer, hope you got new stuff in store. Thanks for stopping by and leaving your two bits, really appreciate it! I'm really happy you enjoyed the melodic leads and atmosphere, really worked at making those leads stand out. for sure I agree with the last piano chord, I'm still not really satisfied with it but I wanted it to end with piano. either way I'm glad you enjoyed that much :) cheers!

[Fraction]

Wow very interesting. I'd call it melodic dubstep too. Really love how different this is though, the integration of the piano in the drop is really well done too.

I just feel like there are some mixing issues though, some of the synths sound a little muddy (mostly in the mid range, the chord synths might be playing at a bad octave or the synth itself is a little messy, you can hear this in the buildup pretty easily).

Other than that, I really liked this. Keep it up!

martin-wales responds:

thanks for the review bro, loving any constructive criticism I can get atm. I have to say though I won't be revisiting this track I've already moved on. however duly noted I'll keep that in mind for future tracks. :D spot on.

[Vigor]

Wow this is really good. Love the quality in here, all the synths sound brilliant. It sounds pretty new to me too, I don't think I've heard anything like this before (referring to the drop here). I really like the pluck synth in the calmer parts too. The outro was pretty awesome too.

No complaints from me, keep it up, looking forward to more from you!

AeronMusic responds:

Thanks a lot DjAbbic! I will come up with more but I think this will be my last song for 2015. (:

[Intensity]

You said the first 4 notes were an earworm, I do know something that sounds like those 4 notes, I can send you a pm if you want (don't want to post links in a review)

The song itself is quite calming. It's not "lose yourself" kind of trance, but it definitely is pleasant to listen to. The piano at 1:48 is nice as well. Normally I like a thicker/warmer piano sound, but this piano worked well for this song, it stood out well in the mix when everything started playing again.

Good job :D

Noisysundae responds:

Aha! Gimme that. I'm pretty sure I've heard it from somewhere.

Frankly, I added that piano to make this less repetitive. Somewhat inspired from 3R2's Angelic sphere from a music game called Deemo. And I was getting bored from my usual warm piano. That's why I use reverb only a little bit. XD

[Total]

I'm going to review this because I intentionally skipped you on the review for a review thread due to not giving a proper review to the previous person.

Nice intro off the bat, although I feel like the white noise is a bit loud. You have a nice sense of buildup, but the transition to the drop was a bit underwhelming, I suggest you make the pause a bit more noticeable so that your drop has more impact (I liked the second drop better for example).

Your synthwork is quite good, but the synths are fighting over each other in the mix, some things are being drowned out.

Overall a pleasant listen. This is an example of the type of review you should be leaving in the review for a review thread, sorry for skipping you but I think this review would make up for it.

Scouted, keep it up.

Recaze responds:

Thanks for a great review! I know some of the downlifters are loud and annoying. I shall take this in consideration later in my future songs :) Also thanks for scouting me, it means alot! Hope you can check out my future releases where I fix my mistakes ;)
