Zelgeon's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dovax - Safari]

I don't know why do you call this deep bounce, this is just like melbourne bounce mixed with big room, btw this track has a lot potential, the beat is cool, the mixing is neat, the composition is pretty nice and generic tbh, the problem of this track is the lacking of originality and uniqueness it has, if you wanna get known, it's important to find your own sound. Also, the drops are great, but i feel them kinda weak, the horn stab is too short, the lead could have more layers, and you can add more elements on the rhythm to keep it interesting, the build up in the second drop sounded a little bit off beat, the melody in the bridge feels too detuned with all the pitch bends you added to it.

You are absolutely talented but you still have a long way to go, just never stop creating and keep improving more and more, we're looking forward to your future tracks, keep it up!

PS: Te dejamos una review en español en tu remix de summer y no nos respondistes ;((

Dovax responds:

Gracias por tomarse el tiempo de escuchar la cancion y dar una buena critica constructiva, se aprecia, no se porque siguen diciendo que es big room, el big room solo es un kick con una cola grande de bass y un lead con mucho reverb y decay exagerado, esto no tiene nada de eso, en todo caso solo seria bounce a secas, porque tambien el melbourne bounce es diferente, y si estoy intentando hacer mi propio sonido, este lead es similar al de desert bounce, con lo cual use un sidechain diferente y el pitch bend para que le de esa sensacion caracteristica, y el segundo drop quiza se escucha asi porque ahi cambia a triplets, de hecho es lo que hago en la mayoria de mis canciones, el primer drop es normal y el segundo siempre lo hago con triplets, y perdon por no responder en la otra review pero no sabia que decir jaja, un dia deberiamos hacer una colaboracion para ver que pueden implementar a mi estilo, por cierto no sabia que ustedes eran dos con razon sus canciones son tan buenas, ya saben lo que dicen, dos cabezas piensan mejor que una, y todavia mas si son tres :)

[Mandragora]

What plugins do you use for orchestration? damn, your composition skills are so amazing!

Miyolophone responds:

Thanks Zelgeon! I used some Native Instruments libraries for the samples— The Grandeur for the piano, Session strings for the staccato strings, and Kontakt 5 factory library for everything else. Nothing too enormously fancy but you learn to work with it when you're not a professional with a giant budget haha

[A Dude Named Grant]

I can't stop listening to this song damnnn it's so good! amazing videogame vibes ;)

Onefin responds:

ey zelgeon thanks for dropping by

[Infinity And Beyond]

This is pretty cool actually! To be your first dubstep track is nice, the riser before the drop is kinda loud. I like how you keep your orchestral style in this genre, keep it up!

JessieYun responds:

Hi Zelgeon,

Thanks so much for the comment and advice! Really appreciate it :)

[Colour in Greyness]

This is really good! love the chill and misterious vibe it has, the mixing is pretty solid, those backwards fx were cool, the only downside i found is that the structure isn't well defined, otherwise is nice. This song would fit perfectly in a mistery/suspense game or movie scene or something like that.

Zelgeon's Score: 8/10. Keep it up!

Adjeye responds:

Thank you very much :), I had some difficulties with the structure since I normally don't do stuff that is around the 100 bpm, still got a lot to learn there!

Glad you enjoyed it nonetheless :)

[John Williams Is The Man (String Trio : LIVE)]

Awesome and beautiful! it reminds me when my brother and i used to be in a kind of band, a percussion ensemble, and we played the xylophone and marimba, it was pretty cool!

JessieYun responds:

Hi Zelgeon,

Thanks so much for the comment :D Glad you enjoyed it!
Haha wow, it must have been fun to play with your family member!

[Ecstatic Days]

Nice melody! very catchy, chill and beautiful, it's kinda repetitive, but otherwise is good! :D

octopus58 responds:

Thank you! Yes, unfortunately it is a bit repetitive ^^;
I tried to finish it in time for an anniversary, but next time I will watch out for that kind of thing!

[Dovax - Mellow]

Cool! I like it:)

Dovax responds:

Thanks man! good luck :)

[Zyzyx - Stroll Through Space]

Sounds kinda off but its cool anyways ;)

DJ-Zyzyx responds:

[astrEnfant]

Miyolophone responds:

Thanks guys! And good luck to both of you in the finals btw
