est1913's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Beyond Cloudz (The Ephebe)]

Ok. I want to start out by saying that I dig this song. I do think that some parts of this song could use some work. To me the drop in's could use a bit more tweeking. Something like a bigger build to silence and then a heavy & massive drop. Maybe you could even add something in the mid ranges, not sure what exactly, but something. HaywireHaywire suggested guitar chords for this, but I am not sure how this would work. As I am one that have been listening to a lot of Dubstep and Drumstep for years, you're almost there with some of the best in the genre. So keep up the good work and keep it up. Maybe some day we will see you in magazine's and such.

Reali-tGlitch responds:

That'd be awesome. That's my dream, but the unrealistic one. Of course, being my own biggest critic, I feel so many other artists (on NG at least) are better than me. All the big ones. And yet I get up in their areas of scores and such, and I'm genuinely elated and surprised that I have a fanbase as big as I do here.

[NH22 - The Machine]

Extend This

I like this alot and wish you would make a full on like 4 - 6 minute version of this track.

NightHawk22 responds:

I'm currently working on a new drum 'n bass song. I think it's better than this one. And I'll consider remaking this one, but I'm not making any promises.

[Reasoner- Ticking Away]

Elegant

Dude I love. See this is the reason you got a favorite artist out of me. You also got a DL from me. Keep up the good work.

Reasoner responds:

Thanks bro!

[Rend Me]

Wrong genre

Wrong genre. Isn't ambient at all. This is more techno than ambient.

suppi responds:

this may not be definitively ambient but its NOWHERE near techno.

[(NUB)I would have hated myself]

Nice

Simple yet elegant.

And if I was to go back and talk to my younger self of 10 or so years ago I probably would have kicked my own butt. While in the process of him I would have told his rebellious behind to get more of an education.

And as for the death comments. I am 27 and a soldier. I worry that when I go to combat I will not come back. And yes I have dreams of this. Vivid dreams of this. Nothing pretty and nothing I will share. Mostly cause most of you all are under age.

nubbinownz responds:

thank you man. I have 4 friends in different branches of the military. I cried every time either of them left. Because I could always think about them not coming back . So far 2/4 have done their duty and returned home.

[Act II: Scene One]

Dude

I like this track. Gave it and the intro a DL. I can't wait to hear every piece of this set.

KD18 responds:

Thanks, man; I'm glad that you're enjoying them =p. If you're interested, the next one is up

[[a] creation]

eh!

This is a good track, but doesn't stand out from any other trance I have listened to. I feel that if you are going to do some trance, that you need to make it pop and stick in peoples head. Something that would make them hum it later on in the day and want to hear it more and more.

While I think it is a good track, it doesn't make me want to hum it later on. Nor does it make me want to listen to it more and more. And I am aware that it is a demo version. But even some of the popular trance artists I have listened to, their demo versions are a little more well developed. Rather, more detail involved. But keep working on this track and I am sure you will have me humming the full finished version in no time.

alertG responds:

i see what you mean. yeah this one was pretty much me in the mood to make music, but no set ideas in mind. i think it didnt turn out too bad, but not the best like you said. I think im gonna leave it how it is, and try out a new track, or completely change it up.

but thanks for the review i appreciate it a lot

[Childhood Dreams (Part I)]

Grrr

Wish it was longer. Good track.

I hope you can give me some pointers on a couple of tracks of mine, Relaxation [est1913] and Cinematic. Cause I would like to have something as beautiful as this song of yours come out.

DylanGlow responds:

Thank you so much Est! I wanted to make it longer but there are supposed to three pieces to this, I have 'em finished I just haven't uploaded 'em yet. ^_^ I'd be very happy to check out your tracks! Thank you again!!!

DSL

I like this one. I read some of the reviews. And if 4am actually has listened to some major productions of DnB like Dieselboy, Aphrodite and DJ Dara you can here a similar tone in there songs. Not ever DnB song has a crap load of layers. I like this one cause it feels like a major production in DnB. Keep up with works like this one and the others like it.

boney-man responds:

thanks man!

[[ odyssey ]]

I like

I agree with CommanOddity. You have that pro-like sound. You just need to hone it. It is songs like this and midnight that can make you.

boney-man responds:

:D thanks
