dj-KDUB's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Life's Choices]

another great song

good job dude. you're becoming one of my favorite artists here on newgrounds. you have a very fresh, unique style that i can't get enough of. i especially love the quick orchestral sound towards the middle. what did you use to make such a great sound? anyway keep up the good work man! i'm truly impressed.

also, where do you get your drum samples? you have inspired me to take a stab at the hip-hop genre, but i can't really use vengeance club samples for hip hop lol.

C-Enterprise responds:

LoL
This beat it's only composed with many layers of piano, various strings like orchestra, violins, cello, and stuff, a flute full of reverb and a little pad. There's nothing more if i remember right..
Anyway, the drum beats I use are from various refills, in this beat I only used the drums of a Reason Refill called Drumomania, absolutely free to download and has some really cool shit in it, I just tweak a bit the presets by reverbering a bit, adding more snares to create just one or else eqing a bit lol
Whenever you make your hip hop beat let me know via pm I'm looking forward to it!
Thanks for the review pal ;)

Thanks for the cred for the title.

yeah man, np.

[<LE>The Last Demo...]

No way....

I don't believe it. So you're done with newgrounds... or what? I am going to miss your old style man. You were one of my favorites and my inspiration. I've made many songs from listening your songs for hours on end. You have a real talent and i'm going to miss it. Hopefully your ambient songs will be as good....

I am jealous of you. I wish I could meet my special someone. Where did she go off to?

Gonna miss you man. Let me know what your new artist name is going to be if you decide to stay.

-KDUB-

LiquidEcstacy responds:

I'll definitely let you know when I decide a new name.
You've been with me through most of LE =)

[closet full of victims]

holy fuck

this is some creepy fucking shit. lol. well done dude. this is a fucking tight song. It needs a bit of work on the mastering, but other than that you have a great start. the drum- work at the beginning is beast, and it gets better throughout the rest of the song. what program are you working with?

also the title is frickin disturbing lol, but i guess it kinda fits the song.

Fl studio 7 producer edition

[<LE>Hole in the Ground]

creepy but good.

how did you get the scratching in? i've always wanted to mess around with a turntable.

-KDUB-

LiquidEcstacy responds:

Got a recorded scratch and sliced it =)

[Conscience Exam]

your melodies....

blow me away. everything fits perfectly together. this song really flows. well done. your songs are incredible.

C-Enterprise responds:

Thanks =D

dude wtf?!?!?

why is this below 4? this is one of the best things i have ever heard on newgrounds. like honestly. im downloading this, putting this on my ipod and listening to it every day. you did such a great job. my mom overheard me listening to this song, and she was like, "that is beautiful." don't let the score throw you off. this song is amazing. you are quickly becoming one of my favorite artists. keep it up!

3.92 / 5.00 (+ 0.15) 5/5 10/10 artist and song fav'd!

-KDUB-

C-Enterprise responds:

Thanks a lot man i really appreciate your appreciation ;)

[Crit is messing around]

HOLY %#$@

I ufckin love the beginning. What soundfont did you use for that pad?!?!?!

You don't think this song is good?! its much more melow then all your other songs. do you play piano?

Anyway. i really love this song, and i think it could be one of your best if you work on the mastering (drum sample doesn't really fit the song). Other than that, amazing.

-KDUB-

CriticalHit responds:

Nope, I don't play piano.
I just kinda don't like this song because it's way out of my field in terms of style (The whole mellow thing). That, and there's a lack of mixing and mastering goodness (The violin section sounds awkward to me).

Also, there's actually no pad in the intro. I got that effect by putting some windy ambience in the background, then adding reverb and mellowness to the piano.

[Crit | Rail Gun]

once again....

love the loose style. great drum work as well. how did you make such awesome drums?

5/5 10/10
-KDUB-

CriticalHit responds:

There are actually not one, but three seperate drum tracks. I sliced three different beats and meshed them together.

Thanks for the review!

[Crit| Lucid Chaos]

damn

this is like a crazy acid trip into space lol. well done. i really like the drum work and mastering. haha. 1:28 reminds me of the guitar solo in that daft punk song aerodynamic.

anyway, i really like ur style. its very loose, but well-put-together at the same time. props man. 5/5 9/10.

-KDUB-

CriticalHit responds:

Thanks for the review!
Sometimes I wish my style was just a little tighter at times, but if you like it, then I guess it's fine.
