Krussi's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Beatsource - The Khazak]

Rodina?

The melody is "Naksi vs Brunner - Rodina" for sure :P
So in my opinion the title whould be "Naksi vs Brunner - Rodina (Beatsource remix)"

Well, now that I got that out of the way... The remix itself is very nicley done, I started on one myself some months ago or so, with a house/electro twist. Didn't complete it though.

I like the russian automosphere this remix have and it's very different from both the original and the "Megara Vs Dj Lee" remix.

9/10
5/5

Ethalyn responds:

Nah, actually it's from an old russian folk song called Rodina... so your smugyness is kind of annoying.

Well, thanks, for the 'review, i guess.

[[LK] Arab Electro]

Sure is groovy :D

Good things first, awesome samples, funky beat, great atmosphere.
I didn't fancy one of the basses though, the one that comes in at 00:33 to be exact.
Feels a bit out of place imo.

You've got a pretty awesome concept going on here :D reminds me of balkan house music, with their classical instruments combined with electro sounds and beats.

I hope you'll extend this song and give it even more awesomeness :P

Keep up the good work LK

LK412 responds:

Hahaha it was really late at night and the bass sounded good at the time XD

I'll definitely extend this if i gt some inspiration :D

Thanks for the review man :D

[The Experiment Rmx]

Wow!

I really like the structure of the song, and I love the chords progression, since I use them quite often myself :P The synth melody is awesome and I love the arp-ish melody at 02:34.

The things I should change in the song is the ending and the intro. I whould have given the intro 1 sec of silence or a reverse fx right before the piano starts, and I whould make it end at 03:15.

The mixing ain't bad in my opinion, but it could be better and I'd suggest that you render/export it in higher bitrate, I'd guess it's rendered at 128 - 160 kbit bitrate. So try and render your songs in higher bitrate, like 224 - 320 to give the song a higher sound quality :)

Anyhow, awesome song, I like it alot and good job man :D

Keep it up AirProgressive :D

Airprogressive responds:

wow! thanks 4 your review and support Krussi!

Yeah, the song is rendered at 160 kbit. for next songs i'll try to do, as you said at, 320

[~- Living Transparent Remix -~]

Mellow and sweet :)

First of all, I like the cuteness and sweetness in the piano and violin parts, it gives the song a sweet and mellow feeling to it.
I haven't heard the original, but this sounds awesome eighter way.
I don't think you should give it any more punch, I think it's pretty nice as it is ^^

Umh, regarding mixing/mastering, I'd suggest that you use a FL Parametric EQ 2 in the master channel, and remove Fruity Limiter if there is one in the master channel. Play around a bit with the "points" in Parametric EQ 2 until it sounds as you want it to.

well, almost full score from me ^^

5/5

Keep it up :)

BCCB responds:

Thanks for the review! I really appreciate the tips and the listen!

[(J-Yo) Dreaming WIP]

that's pretty damn hot :D

as the TehGrunt wrote, the minute I started listening I fell in love with it :D

The melody is very catchy and original. The bass and kick could be a bit stronger or more clear, but that's just a matter of EQing ^^
I think it whould sound a bit better if you exported/rendered it in higher bitrate, since it's only 2.2 mb large, so I presume its like 128 kbit bitrate.

as far as the song it self, I got no complains and it sounds awesome :P just work some on the EQing and mastering and you'll be on frontpage in no time ^^

9/10

Keep it up ^^

DjJYo responds:

[-=[Sunrise]=-]

ooooooh daaaaamn man :D

this sure is one awesome piece of music!

The intro and chord progression on the bell-ish pad are amazing, but where this song really shines is at 01:15. I mean, I want to have sex with that bass and bear it's children. This is some pro stuff, I'd love to hear this song being played at a club :D
It doesn't sound repeative as some house songs can sound, and the build is very good :P

[Far Away From You]

Damn :D

I rarely listen to Heavy Metal, but sometimes I find some pretty awesome songs, and this is one of them. Amazingly on NG aswell :D

The style reminds me of Dead by April, I used to listen to them alot several months ago. The lyrics are pretty damn sweet, the chord progression is awesome and I love the piano :D

Is it you on vocals? if it is, awesome work, if not, kudos to the vocalist :D

you gett full score from me

[Endeavour - Crescent Moon]

pretty damn hot! :D

First of all, thanks for the review on my remix of "Secret Melody" :D

This song had a very soothing feeling to it, kinda reminds me of a dreamtrance song I'm working on atm. The mastering is almost perfect, just some minor distortion at approx 00:57, but thats no big deal at all.
The chord progression is pretty sweet, and the melodies are awesome.
I'd want to hear more of the flute during the song, and I feel that the song could be longer.
The bass, kick and percussion is well mixed and the beat fits the whole song.

All in all, awesome job! :D

5/5
10/10

Keep it up Endeavour ^^

Endeavour responds:

Thanks for the large and good review Krussi.
Yea i gotta agree with you that the song could be longer.
I have 2 very diffrent melodies in it, so it should give enough variation.

dreamtrance, hmmz yeah =D.

Thanks again for dropping a review,
Ur song is still awesome. (listening it for quite a long time now xD )
That FX with these tomm drums realy inspired me bigtime !.

Best Wishes.
Endeavour.

[Tranquil Universe _~>>[HQ]

This is Semaphore for sure :D

As Chimy727 and Nirvashvos wrote, it made me think about some things. Most of your ambience songs makes me think, and they paint scenarios in my mind :D

This is your style for sure, and as both of us already know, we love the same chords :D

This song almost gives me the same feeling as your song "Dream of Water and Land", a mix between space theme and underwater theme :D

The effects, choice of synths and pecrussion are perfect, it gives the song a relaxed and laidback feeling to it. I wished it was a bit longer though :(

The universe can indeed be such a peaceful place.

Keep it up Sema :D thanks for notifying me that you had uploaded a new song :D

Semaphore responds:

there is a bit other chord progression this time as in dream of water and land =)

I will always stuck in ambient ^^

I want to see new stuff from you =D

Keep it up by yourself too^_^

[Never Forget(Halo3)]

Pretty damn awesome :D

Isn't this more like dreamtrance? Sounds like something that whould have been in the Dreamdance compilations.

Anyhow, don't think I've heard the original before, didn't play Halo 3 that much, but I'll take a listen to the original after this review :3

The choice of lead synth and melody builds are awesome, and the effects are nicely chosen, the choice of bassline is nice, but I've heard it in alot of dreamtrance- and progressive trance songs :P

Needless to say, its a sweet combination and a awesome song, the length is proper for a dream trance/progressive trance song.

Am I hearing the Ravity VSTi in the song? :D
