Lockyn's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

Damn son. This is poppin'.

You really shine when it comes to trance and other more melodic EDM styles. xD I'm the same way (I think?) so I understand completely. I love making all kinds of genres too, just I don't do a lot of them justice. Those saw mids and leads are really driving the piece along. And even though the chord progression you used have been used over and over in so many tracks, you really did it justice with your synth work and rhythm work - it's original and clean. Despite the repeat, I never once found myself thinking it was boring. In fact, I put it on loop. :]

Thanks for this amazing track, keep it up! ^__^

HAha, it's been so long since I've had even a 4 lined review, it's great to see this one. I really liked the sound when I made it, even though I knew the chord progression was generic, I gave it and it's wonderful trancyness a chance, and with hope, I produced a very satisfactory song! ^_^

Hi again! You asked for reviews, and you're gonna get them. ^__^

This track isn't one of your best, in my opinion. I really like the way you played out the rhythms in the later part of your first verse - the percussion really pops and assists the sawwy bass line. The track overall has a lot of variation, and you varied your synths in both quantity and the way they introduced themselves over time. Only thing is, sometimes I feel the mix is a bit unorganized/unplanned. Not a really really bad thing, but I was confused at certain points, like the breakdown in the middle with the single grindy bass lead and the 4x4 kick intro. Good job nonetheless, I'm impressed!

Triented responds:

4 years late, sorry dude!
THANKYOU for the review! I really appreciate it. I was in such a different place then, than I am now. Life is very good. And I'm happy to be active again. (:

Hi! Checkin' out your tunes, and I have got to say, I am really enjoying your tracks. Thanks again for the review, so returning the favor!

I have never tried vocals in my life, and I would probably destroy my eardrums if I did. Great job on those. The bass synth is solid and powerful, without overwhelming the mix. I really like the syncopation and the note choices you've made for the bass line, even though it does sound slightly repetitive (after listening to it for about four times ^__^). The blip that introduces after one verse slightly overwhelms the mix though. I like the touch it presents though!

Great track, hope to see a lot more in the future. :]

LA LA LA NOT A CARE IN THE WORLD!

I could listen to this all day, every day.

Great work... YET AGAIN!

[- Seems Simple Enough]

Definitely... sick as bananas! Bananas are hella sick! WHOO!

I have to say, even though this track is amazing, I do prefer the remix with dedicated synths. n__n

Great work on both of them! Love them both!

[Level Up?]

That guys was right... video game style 8-bit you do amazingly and flawlessly. Were you a video game soundtrack composer in a past life?

[Eat Fish [Trance]]

Those poppy blips and the fuzzy pluck intro. Really sets the tone of the track. Then... SAW LEAD WHOO

It really contrasts and makes the mix nice and fun to listen to.

If this is really your second track... you're a musical god.

[Not Quite Poetry]

YESSIR

[Get Off My Island]

God I can't not rate 5/5 on your tracks.

This song is so bouncy and happy I can't help but smile. I'm smiling as I write this!

Love the delay piano, gives the track a lot of presence! The phased chords are a really nice touch and add some room to the whole mix.

Only thing that was nagging me a bit was the off time claps. They are good in the beginning, but they kinda distract a little as the mix progresses. I don't know, not that I don't like them, but just a thought. n__n

Great work YET AGAIN!

[Or4nges - Unfinished Trance]

I never thought I'd go back to listening to trance.

UNTIL I HEARD THIS SONG

Nice work (yet again). The offbeat/syncopated pluck is classic in these kinds of tracks, and you played it flawlessly. Then the sixteenth driving bassline... at that point I was jumping up and down in my seat to the music, couldn't resist it.

Do you happen to use Sytrus to make your synths? Cuz that would be funny and all, since your name is... nevermind forget I said that. LOL. I love Sytrus btw!

GREAT LITTLE TRANCE LOOP! Might we see a finished product? :D
