Kalapsia's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[When Tokyo Sleeps (OM)]

Nice

Great job with building the atmosphere! Those ambient drums are a perfect choice for this genre. Even if it is repetitive, most ambient songs do tend to play the same thing over and over in order to maintain a good atmosphere, kind of like trance music in my opinion. The only problem with this song is probably the energy, I mean it could sound like a neverending mix, but what I think you could have done was taking that bell like arp playing constantly over while moving down or up octave or something and then let the master volume fade out, that way it even has that atmosphere/effect or whatever you like to call it even after you listen to the song. These might not be the best suggestions, but it's hard to critique an actual good song :).

9.3/10

5/5 3.66 / 5.00 (+ 0.21)

Do you mind checking out my song Midnight Illusion?

zenodio responds:

Thank you very much, maybe it's not a half bad idea about tat with the bell arp.
But i don't know if it will make it too powerful.

Well, i will keep it like this. (I will maybe do a remak or another version of this song later on)

Thank you very much. I will check your song out right now.

Tuneit

[.Aspiration. [Trance]]

wow omg this is amazing

not really. you really think this is trance? you think that crappy basshunter bass can ever fit into trance? your synth choice is terrible, you didn't even try to refine ANY of them. this is not me scoring your song because of the genre you categorized it in but actually im raging about how bad this song really is, ok i admit, calling this trance pisses me off. fuck im rabbling and i have a head ache now,

Lay off the booze

[Paws Of Fury [epic Dnb]]

geez

your getting really good dude. this sounds like some cool breakbeat. you just need to work more on composition, and structure and some variations. some of the mastering could be fixed but im really impressed on how fast your improving. great fucking job dude, we should collab sometime

4.00 / 5.00 (+ 0.099)

[xKore - something demo]

......

i dont know about everyone else, but i really like the vocals alot. it could use some tweaks and maybe some effects, but i think it makes this song original and gives it some style.

xKore responds:

exxactly

[[LK] Despair]

Finally!

Although I can still hear THAT melody again this loop is quite different from your other songs. You need a new drumset because the ones I'm hearing sound cheezy as fuck. For whatever drumset your using put a soundgoodizer it. Or clone that channel and put a little reverb for the hats and a different reverb for the kick and snares. It will make it sound a little less bland.

Overall good effort.

LK412 responds:

Yea, those drums are actually just Fl Stock samples, as i dont have any decent samples other than Dance ones.

I dont get what you mean by "THAT" melody. Cuz honestly it barely sounds like my other melodies.

Thanks for the tips! When i get some new samples, ill be sure to use those EQing pointers.

P.S. Thanks for an actual review for once. :D

[That's What She Said]

Nice.

Cool intro, I was surprised you used the standard kick4x4 and clap throughout the whole song, as the trippy melody starting coming in. I thought it was going to go out of sync with the kick but it didn't. Crazy melody, fucking kudos to that. Some of the vox wasn't needed in my opinion. Although it would have been even better if the melody just kept getting fast and faster so it would have some nice variations. I'm a little high right now so don't mind me sounding like a retard. Anyway sick song!
