DjMontana's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[- LD - 3xOsc Love]

hahah so cool !

Hey man...

This sounds so funny ! The way the osc turn up from c down to d !
Its that old groovy kind off sound i used to hear back in the 90`s !
Looks like you made this more for fun... and it sure is funny/groovy ! :D

I think if you use that way the osc voilates up and down in a Fat Saw you can make a real good track like benni benassi did so many times !

Club it up ! :D

Breed responds:

Yay for pitch envelopes and peak controllers.

I will never butcher music like Benny Bennasi does(when doing a serious song), but maybe a similar style I will touch on sometime. Thanks for the kind words!

Cheers!

[LD & Nub - AJBS]

The Easyness just comes up !

Hey breed,

Well this sure is a Different track ! The composition is not very straight foward.. not that is a bad thing, its just something you don`t hear every day !
It`s too bad you don`t used any vocals.. that could really fill up the small gaps in the sound and make it more interesting !

But the groove is very good and deep...nice deep drum you used too !
It`s not my favorit kind off trance.. but the sound is really pure..so there is not much wrongs too be found.

Nice track !

ps: if u have some time please check out my stuff !

Breed responds:

Thank you kind sir. I am not a big fan of this track just because I left the melody so unresolving at the end of each other measure, so it just doesn't flow well. I checked out a few of your tracks and reviewed the most recent one BTW.

Cheeeeeeers!

[Derrick Meyer--5 a.m. (wip)]

Its My man behind The board !!

heya Derrick,

Did that url worked out.. ok i gave you :P ?

Anyway i Needed too look if u Posted something..

You Started off with a very nice Deep Synthesizer, and harp tones.
The sounds off the Piano is very nice and Clear.. This would be nice if you Play 1 tone higher up in volume..and then one little Lower.
You get that Step down effect wich "paul van dyck" uses sometimes.

But the Ambiet works pretty good, but the beat is not really working for me.
I would have used a different one :D
But overall a Solid Ambient track man..

Greetz DJMontana

ps: i got some new stuff as well :D

Yodamanjaro responds:

Thanks for the review man! I'll be sure to check your stuff out!

[[SP] ~ Inspiration Road]

Not Bad man ...

Hey SP...

I haven`t heard any of your tracks yet but this track sound ok.
The beatline is very clear wich gives it a proffesional sound.
It sounds a little too simple at times for me, but you could fill those up with vocals.

When theMain Synthesizer comes in, the tracks starts to get a Life..
Real nice Broad Feeling you gave it with that Phaser you probably used :P
I think if you use a couple off vocals the track would sound more complete, but overall a Nice Solid track.

Greetz DJMontana

PS: check out my stuff if u have time :D

Blizzaine responds:

It's a high pass, not a phaser :p

[Plasmic Life View (phy(final]

Composition and Volume !!

hey man..

I see u wrote a small qoute about people taking you down with zero`s !
I have a couple off those on my tale as well, i just say leave them be ! :D
Now as far as your track goes:
I hear very nice potential when the track is halfway ! The first part is not consistant.
The melody is to different from the background, its just too much together !
But we all learn here ..right !;D i think you should take one or two things out off it.
And position the sounds a bit better, and it will have a real nice composition.

The Transition at 1.50 is really nice.. but then u put again.. too much together !
THe stutter synth.. Should be a Clean, long tone...that way it gives the front tones more depth.
Overall a track were you can learn alot from...

Keep trying ;D

Greetz DJMontana

Phyortek responds:

I just re-did it and tryed to follow your advice. The new song name is Power Fluctuates.

Thanks for the great review :-D I really appreciate it..

[[LC] -Corrupt Contagion]

Sounds are Intertwined ..

Hey man..

Oehh im Sorry but i THink u used far too much Stuff together !
It`s a Real Solid track, but at the first part audio is olmost exploding because off
all the Layers it has.. So a bit too Much !!

After that the main Synthesizer comes in wich sounds together with the Female singing...Here i think u Should have made a small rest period with that voice on i hinger level.
And also here the Sound is Too much.. You are so nervous off letting all your stuff go that you put too much i one area, try too spread it out.

Here at 2.24 it sounds Really nice.. that flowing area when the beat goes down.
That is what you should use i think.

I think if u redo the track with some off these gaps remasterd the track would be more complete,..(this is my opinion)

But overall; the track has a Solid sound, and nice flowing areas

greetings DJMontana

ElectricalBypass responds:

your right heheh. I knew I added to much at one point. This song was becoming too much though (it couldnt even run on my Dual Core :( )

Thanks for the advice

[Brando - Feeling Trance Final?]

New blood ! in a Deep Groove..

Hello Brando..

I must say this sounds Really full...what did u use ? ( program )

The sounding is really full in the whole aspect off the track... but i think the vocals wich are in it are Too layered down.
I barely hear them... i would suggest that u use some effects too give them a small edge in the track.

And i personally think the beat is a bit too soft...why ..? because i think you have
a talent here with flowing areas.
But you don`t use all you have ...YET . !!! i think iff you tune some things up this track will sound Really Epic.

I think overall the track sounds rgood.. only the epic extra wich youre track give is not there.

Good job...

greetz DJMontana

Dj-Brand0 responds:

Hey Montana. Thanks for the review!

I use FL studio and the main reason this isn't that great is because well i did it about a whole year ago. I'm much better now and if i remade it, it would probably then be epic - just how u want it.

Thanks again.

-Cheers Brando

[DJ Derrick--Poker Face (Remix)]

SOOON off aaaa !!!!

hahah Damn YOU MAN !!!

Where The hell Did u The Vocal line...
I also Whas thinking Something First in this style...I Could not find a vocal line Anywhere... ( A Could U Send me this one ... P - L - E - A - S - E )

For the track: This is sounds Really good man !!!
Nice Fowling way off the track builds up...
I just Think if u like Turn the voice with a Chorus...Turn it in the background and let it come up Together with Bass...Let the energy Build up together !!
And i would Use a different Synthesizer for those Starting tones.. A little Bit Fuller...deeper..

Other then that it RockS ! :D

Greetz DJMontana

Yodamanjaro responds:

lol I will. Thanks for the review man!

[ph0ne vs Hopeku - Aerodynamite]

New and Improved !

Very Dynamic !!

Hey man.. I never Yeard youre stuff but this is Pretty nice.

I think u used a Guitar..echo build in it ...
Hmm ohhh Then this deep bass... Like a Old 90 `s Track ! Pretty good.
Nice Dynamic Sounds in the bass wich keeps in interesting !

Its a very long track... But never the less there are very Nice SOunds it.

I think that u can split this i 2 tracks... that way the energy keeps with you.
Not that it drains away.. but youre head reminds what you heard...haha if u know what i mean.

But overall a very nice track !! :D

greetz DJMontana

hopeku responds:

I didnt use any guitar now guitar's fx haha but thanks! This is really appreciated!

[DJ Derrick & Korpze -- Demo]

Hit the bass Baby !!

HEy man..

It`s Real nice.. there is ONE thing i think is better tough ! But that is PURE personal taste here !..
It Sounds real good.. but it`s too bad u Change the tune so fast.. the moment that bass hits KEEP it for a while... let u get up from your chair and jump too that bass !!
You know what i mean !... It`s that instant Energy taker.. !!!

Keep it up man.. I rather buy Music from you then i a normal store !

greetz DJMOntana

Yodamanjaro responds:

Alrght, I'll see about it, this track is still a WIP, so I'll see what happens. ha ha.
