BlueAlpha14's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Reject]

Ehhh you definitely were not lying about the rushing. I can tell it was rushed. Believe me, I'm not one to talk because I rush my tracks as well.
Ok, the vocals were good and the beat you had for the build-ups were not bad. However, those drops were disappointing as heck. It seems to lack variety as it sounds like it's just that wobble over and over and over.
For your first dubstep it isn't bad. I don't recall anyone's first dubstep track being perfect. It is hard to master at first. As always, practice makes perfect.

[ain't so]

Forgive me if I screw up on the drum names but I felt the Hat (?) at 0:16 seemed a bit out of place. It wasn't bad but the beat just didn't seem to fit, almost like it started too late.
The vocals were pretty good. The song seemed a bit too high-pitched for my liking, but that's just imo. I also didn't think that synth at the beginning needed to do that stop and start thing.
For not actively listening to Hip Hop I seemed to like it.

Does anyone else get the vibes of Clockmaster by djjaner listening to this?
The pre-drop was way too long considerin this was only 2 minutes. The drop catches you by surprise and it wasn't that bad. 4.5/9.

[Cycles2.0]

So when I was playing around in FL Studio I actually finally found the main synth you used for this track. How interesting. Very simple trance. I hope to remix it someday.

[~NK~ "Blacklight" FULL]

Damn, I don't even think the New York ball dropped this hard. What's surprising is this is 110 BPM and it sounds much faster. Blacklight ftw!

[Cosmo Cosmic Dreamer]

Cosmic Dreamer was one of my favorites from you. I'm glad you keep remaking it. However the only part that reminded me of the original was 0:21-0:43. The drop was still tremendously amazing however.

[Aqua (Original Mix)]

After looking through your songs I realized mostly you produce House tracks. Now normally I dislike House but this wasn't too bad. The piano part is what keeps the spirit of this track strong.

Also, in response to your other review SMG is my favorite Wii game as well.

Lockyn responds:

I'm glad you enjoyed this track despite your disliking house! I love piano so I'm happy you liked that part. I do produce melodic dubstep and future bass and electro house as well, so perhaps you would like those better (edit: I know you reviewed Lucent so maybe you would like Soulwind as well!). SMG was great!

[Lucent]

I keep wanting to give 6 stars but Newgrounds won't let meh D:<
This was actually really awesome. One of those you can guarantee its a good song when you listen to the beginning. I don't get what BeeFef was saying, I think this counts as dubstep. Melodic and modern are two different things. This also gives me nostalgic vibes towards Super Mario Galaxy. I also like how you respond to every review you get, shows dedication towards your fans.

Lockyn responds:

Aww, thanks for trying anyways.
Thank you mate. I really appreciate your feedback, and I'm glad you got those vibes - Super Mario Galaxy was one of my favorite games on the Wii (right behind Metroid Prime Corruption). I try my best to stay connected, I enjoy it and besides, I owe it to you all for your fervent support. Cheers mate :)

[Alien Robot (Original Mix)]

I don't usually leave descriptive reviews like this, so it definitely goes to show I want to help. First off, your main problem with dubstep is your build-ups are really good but the drops aren't as great. The first drop didn't show much of a percussion until 1:22. Just a couple steps scattered around. Not that I'm saying every drop has a percussion but it is something to experiment with. The wobble noise was weird, and while dubstep does contain weird noises it could be revolutionized a bit more. Lastly the noise at 4:08 seemed unfit. Not knowing how new you are to audio making, it's okay to not be perfect on your first tries. The dubstep artists I listen to have years of practice and experience, even their first songs weren't the best compared to now. So don't give up, because if you continue to study and play around you can really go places. Everyone gets better each new thing they create. This was better than Jungle War. It captured a theme, and the later drops were better. For the next one you make it wouldn't hurt to play around with filters a little, since I didn't notice any in either track. There's also some drum and synth samples for dubstep as well. Send me a pm and maybe I can help. Overall, I do think you have potential. Also, was I supposed to hear 'sh*t' at 1:08? lol

KaixoMusic responds:

Thanks for your review, This is my 2nd Dubstep song ever, so yeah, I need to learn a lot more. And yes there's a 'sh*t' at 1:08 :D Just some change... In the third drop you can hear that part how it was before I changed it to this.
