Payton-Petkus's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Odyssey]

This very good! You should be proud of yourself, this is a masterpiece. But don't let you push you down by thinking you can't be better, use this to say that you can be better. Literally everything is perfect in this track besides one small thing. I wish it had more than the rotating chords you had in the piece. I "b" section would be nice, but isn't 100% needed. Very good song overall. You have picked up on one thing I think every music artist needs to know which is having a "room" sound to your music. It is hard to explain it, but you certainly have it here. Keep up the good work!

DJ-Zyzyx responds:

Haha thanks!! I'm trying to make my music have that "roomy" feel, but a lot of people don't like it for some reason lol. Thank you for the review. And yes, this could be better, but I'm still improving! XD

[Decide]

And this was the first song that you used the orange circle! This song is very awesome!

[Nebula]

I don't listen to complextro or drumstep often, so I guess I'm a little biased.

I just wish underneath all the music was a bass with a "Sine" effect. It would seriously add to the depth of the song and make it great.

Ravitex responds:

A bass with a Sine effect? Sine isn't an effect, my friend. Sine is a waveform. And on a low note it basically sounds like bass. Sub-bass to be more precise. I add a layer of it to all my songs, but I balance it properly so the bass doesn't overpower the rest of the song. But maybe I just misunderstand you and don't get your point. PM me if that's the case.

[Tetris Club Remix]

Oml amazing

[Trapped]

This is awesome! :D

JAME24 responds:

Thanks a lot! :D

[Just a WIP song]

Awesome! I think if you added chords to go under that and a bass line this would be perfect! :D

GeometryDashBrad responds:

Yep I totally agree, this is just the product of a hour or so messing around.

[Massive [Electro Dream Trance]]

I listened to this song when it came out, but I realized that I haven't left a review. Dj Striden, another great song! I want to point out great things that I would love to see more f in the future! (5'd as always)

-The lead synth was different, but in a good way. It sounded very nice. I personally think it added to the flare and enhanced the song.

-I feel bad because on the review on "Catalyst" I said that th drums weren't as generic as usual, but your drums aren't generic. With that said, these drums were really good!

-Please keep on using samples right as the bass drops r the melody goes up an octave. The samples work very well and make want to listen more. No offense (Please don't take offense...) I am not the biggest fan of the songs where you sing. On the flipside, the vice samples work very well.

I love your music. I just wanted to point out things I can't wait to hear again from the professional music of Dj Striden.

~Your #1 fan (Besides RubyGames who ALWAYS reviews first....)

I don't understand why this had 3 stars. I had to take a 0.5 off for the quality of the strings in the beginning. It does sound a little weird. (But only 0.5 because I have the exact problem with GarageBand, the strings suck.)

[Darkness at Merseyside]

I am always excited when I see content from you! This is really nice. Very simplistic, yet complicated at the same time (Does that make sense?). This does loop very well and flows nicely. I really hope somebody uses this fine piece of music in a game or animation! Very well mixed. I did enjoy this music.

P.S.
Sometimes I feel like being a jerk to a great song and I think I may do that here, by saying something that isn't needed. The violins that do appear in the song should be "humanized." No human plays a perfect note on a violin, so maybe a give or take 2 detune would be nice. If this violin was recorded/ this task was already done, I would like to apologize for a false suggestion.

Troisnyx responds:

Thanks. The velocities were modified, but a detune sounds like a nice idea. I'll play around with it in the next track that uses it, and see what happens :D

Glad you like it. This thing was indeed intended to be used in a game, a game that I'd conceived for getting on four and a half years. *Sigh* For want of programmers.
