Djrella's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Aerodynamic etK Remix]

Dj Rella's Review

Daft Punk's "Aerodynamik is a relly hard song to remix.

This one wasn't all that melodic (but I saw from the below comment that this was a "test") And even as such, it's not that great at all...

I give an "E" for effort, however if you don't make anything that's really worth sharing, then don't upload it...

If you want opinions on your "Tests" upload them to Youtube or something, work on them more until they sound halfway decent, or show it to your friends/family to get some opinions.

Morethan anything on this, the Guitar riff and your "Melody" don't match in Tempo at all. You need to have them sync.

I'd also work on whatever synths you were using.

etK responds:

I think Newgrounds audio portaL is really good to get some opinions, some reviews are very helpfull (when You talk about tempo for exemple) and maybe I'll make the final version of this song, or maybe not, but this music deserve to be on Newgrounds for me.
If you still want to talk about it with me you can send me a private message, it's interesting.

PS: If there are some mistakes, it's because I'm french, sorry.

[Bright Yellow Oranges]

Dj Rella's Review

I like the idealism in this one.

The piano is fantastic. But, like your other tracks, the percussion is lacking in most areas.
There's not much else to say for this track. The atmosphere of it is great, and the basis is pretty chillax. :) It seems it's hard to find that nowadays, where there can be something good, and not crappy, submitted on the level of Dubstep and DNB.

Good work. :D

xxxZigZagxxx responds:

Thanks bro. I am an extreme idealist, so glad that comes through in my music :)

Yeah, I still don't know how to make BAMF drums. I specialise mostly in making atmospheric beats with plenty of layers. Maybe we should collab sometime?

[Tired D&B]

Dj Rella's Review

Hmm.... This one was interesting enough.

It sounded a bit more like you were attempting Dubstep than DNB.

Your percussion definitely needs some serious work. ((especially on the Snare and Hat))
The smapling you did sounded fine, but could perhaps use an echo, and surprisingly sounded enough to fit the beat.

Just some tweaking and altering of certain sounds, and this could be fantastic. :3 Just keep at it.

xxxZigZagxxx responds:

YES. I would like to do dubstep, but I do not know how to make convincing synths. (Kind of a staple of the electronic music genre.)

Yeah I would like to work on the Snare and stuff to get it right. I thank you for the encouragement. We live, we learn, right?

[YAYAYAYA]

Dj Rella's Review

This does indeed sound good for a video game. :)

But, some of the synths could use work.

Haha. Like "RandomDanceOfHappy" stated, I too would like to see if I could, if at all, remix this and make it somewhat better with my own little twist on it. ((Original credit given to where it is due, of course)).
Good job on this one. :D

Not professional, but not amatuer either. :)

xxxZigZagxxx responds:

Thanks bro. I could possibly get that FLP to you. PM me your e-mail and I'll see if I can send it to you... once I find it.

[Skrillex-esque]

Dj Rella's Review

Unfortunately, your guess is incorrect.

This sounds nothing like Skrillex, at all. :/

Would be an interesting Dubstep song in itself, were this be a variant and looped with some glitching and massive basslining.

Point-in-Basis, this does not sound like Skrillex... Sorry.

xxxZigZagxxx responds:

Yeah now that I revisit this beat, it sounds [pretty] crappy. But yeah, I was emulating Skrillex's melodic basslines with a couple of 3xosc's and Rapture. Didn't really work all too well however.

But thanks for the pity anyway.

[Breadmau5 - Toast 'n' Stuff]

Dj Rella's Review

I have to agree with the others here, (And I do apologize for not having replied/reviewed in a while).

the song was introduced well, but quite frankly I don't see how this is sounding like any of Deadmau5's songs. However, the melody and bass all fit and work smoothly together. :)

Though perhaps a couple of the synths could use some tuning, and the "Ohw" sound/thing that plays on ocassion should have the volume turned down. The percussion, as far as I care to tell, is fine except for the cymbal/hat. Perhaps add an echo to it?

I did enjoy listening to this. :D There's no mistake about that.

[Dj Kukun - Smooth sailing]

Dj Rella's Review

This was pretty relaxing to listen to. :) I liked it.

Twoshiny responds:

Thank you for your comment, take care :D

[Fusion Ex - Activate]

Dj Rella's Review

The intro is really wierd.... The bassline/lead is really wierd.... This whole thing needs work. :/ the effects are Ok-ish, but need some tuning.

DjKaz responds:

Well thanks for the review, but yeah I know its all weird, thats the point of musical experiments. :P It would help if you pointed out WHY it was all weird though, so I know what to change, just telling me everything is weird doesnt help that much. But its the thought that counts I guess.

[India (Working Title)]

Dj Rella's Review

Could be good... Needs more work, though. It's kinda jumpy and basic.
