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! ^__^

Triented responds:

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. (:

[Detious - Chicago]

YOU'RE TOO GOOD!

Okay seriously, I need to put out some more tracks so I can hope to be at your level. n__n

This mellow track doesn't disappoint. It's downtempo, it's relaxing, and most of all, your strongest point, it's balanced and flows well from beginning to end. I love the atmospheric pads in the background, really smooths the whole mix down!

Awesome job! n__n

DetiousMusic responds:

Thanks, I really tried to go outside the box with this one! :D

[Moar Unfinished]

Hi again!

This collection (?) of tracks is quite the interesting combo. I do like the harder synths you've implemented, although multiple times throughout the track I felt that the main saw synth felt really peaked, like you have a compressor on it and its breaking the threshold. I don't know, happens every so often when it becomes the only sound, and then I can really hear it pushing. Other than that, great job (as usual)!

DetiousMusic responds:

Hmm..I don't hear. I'm quite certain the knee on my compressor is pretty low, that's weird. Maybe it's just the high ends peaking on what ever you're listening to my tracks.

[Detious - Crystals]

Wow... I love this track.

The balance on your tracks are so amazing, please teach me oh great master! Seriously, all your synths pop out just right and it isn't overwhelming the percs at anytime. Love the snare and the hihats, by the way!

The section after the quiet part came quite abruptly however. Kinda made me jump. n__n Don't know if intentional, but not a major concern for me!

DetiousMusic responds:

that part was definitely not intentional. o: I forgot to fix that.. Thanks again!

[Detious - Air]

HI! Thanks for the review on my song, now I get to listen to your awesome musics!

I love this tune. The chords are definitely what popped out to me, they were so unusual! I don't know if thats your style or something but you should definitely do this a lot! n__n love these chords. Your percs cut through the mix well, and you seem to have mastered it (?) quite well also. haha but don't listen to what I'm saying on mixing and mastering because I really don't know what I'm talking about :D

Only reason for the four stars is the beginning was a bit choppy. I don't know, I just felt like it didn't move well too the dnb part. Anyways, great job!

DetiousMusic responds:

The song is finished now, I just haven't uploaded it. It's quite different but thanks! :D
