DJ-HappyFace's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[SSB Melee Hyrule Temple New]

A Few pieces of Advice...

Stay away from the Slayer Guitar's PowerChords Setting...

This is Clearly done in FL7 (or 8), I can tell I use it so for my music too, but one thing about this song it is has no lead. There is only a rythm guitar, which in my opinion was a bad idea...

Also, the drums were not the best, and if I had to guess, I'd say this was a midi file with not much changed...

Plus, the last loop ended about 4 bars into it, which is also a terrible idea for ending a song...

Now then, I know this sounds like I'm ripping this song apart, but at least I can recognize the song, but with Midi files, you need to know when to omit tracks, and what insturments to use at the right time, and also how to sequence drumlines.

There is alot of work that needs to be done before this is perfect, but I hope what I have said here will help you...and please don't think I'm being an asshole...cause people tend to say the lol...

Anyway, good luck with your music making.

thanks for the review!

man, you dont know how long ive been waiting to see a nice explained review like yours

i use fl studio 8, im trying to stay away from fl slayer, but i think it sounds good i am trying to find a different guitar though, on this one i did use a midi file because this song would be way too hard to remix, the other songs i remixed were easy. thanks alot for your review, i appreciate it

[Zero wing: Stage 5]

You can do that?

I didn't think it was possible to import MIDI directly into GarageBand...

What I ended up doing was printing sheet music and doing a direct translation from notes to...um "Piano Roll" bar and adding my own custom drum beats...

To see what I mean, check out MarioKartFrantic's Music, I did most of it for him, all in GarageBand, and all using the method stated above...lol

Anyway, on to you song... Not bad, just waaayyy tooo much echo (echo, echo, echo)

Lol

RyanTime2 responds:

MIDI -> Mp3/wav -> GB.

Create Music Sheet to add your own instruments.

[Valas Appears]

Guessing GarageBand

I Recognize the voice at the beginning, and the changes in modulation to get different syllables, nice :)

I could see this working quite nicely for a villian's theme, Nice Job :)

camman007 responds:

Correct good ear! I recently found out the modulation tricks and decided to implement into this song heh

[Fighting Of The Spirit: ToS]

@DarkSonic

This is Full Force Lol (jk :)

Oh and this is Funny... You used the EXACT same Midi file I used for my rendition...except...the FL Slayer in the back is not the best, and the DrumSynthLive is not loud enough, and the bass is a bit distorted....

I'm giving it a 6 cause the melody is there...but you didn;t change anything...Check out mine once i upload it...(AKA now)

~DJ-HappyFace

and DarkSonic, Name me 5 Songs from Tos Plz :)

[Metaljonus-Skychasezone]

No Way!

I don't know if you knew this, but someone made a custom Guitar Hero Chart for this song. (For GHIII PC or GH2 on PS2) Lol

It's fun to play, but it's a bit too short...and thus impossible to score all that many points, but I never realized you were a newgrounds artist lol :)

Btw, your music Rox :)

[Final Fantasy: Chaos Theo]

S.S.H, not quite lol :)

S.S.H is a Japanese band specializing in awesome remixes of song from prominent Japanese games, such as Final Fantasy and Guilty Gear.

This is a decent remix, but I always hated the original song, so don't mind my not 100% perfect score. This is good, but not my favourite piece of work by you.

Good job none the less lol :)

[Zero Wing Suite]

Lol we used the same Midi...

Audio quality is not good, too much piano, sad drums, but I give you 7 cause I know how hard it is to do this song.

[@ndrea - Candy Dance]

Good Stuff :)

Catchy and great quality, a bit hectic in areas, and the gating on the strings isn't the best, but overall it's quite good. 9/10 for me :)

[My Retribution]

Lmao featured in a Hentai Movie, bet you feel good

That....embarassing... fact aside, The song is bitching, mayb tone down the "Heys"
but that's just picky. Great Song none the less

Druids-Warcry responds:

you have no idea man... it is very embarassing... its just one of those "haha we take your Front page song and maybe people will look at out flash" deals.
