EchozAurora's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[my minds' eye]]

Ooooh.. veruh nice.

I like what you ended up going with... Very nice GOA feel. I only wish it was longer...

='[

I'll get over that though. The bass does a very good job of keeping the listener interested and such.. I think I recognize the synth.. not sure though.. very well done though.

Definitely captures a great image of India. Great job. =D

5/5, 10/10 -Echoz

zomgkerrie responds:

ooo yay! my goal was to accomplish a GOA sound, and its nice to hear i didnt' fail miserably. i was sad i didnt' place better in the contest but that's okay! i was still happy with how it turned out! thanks for the listen! <3 Kerrie

[{Hatt}Ignorance is Freedom]

Yay Doc Hatt!

Great production here. Orchestral glitch? Fun.

This is going to go into my Tuesday night radio show. Maybe top5 potential here. Keep up the good work man!

5/5, 10/10 -Echoz

DoctorAttitude responds:

Thanks a lot mate :) I really appreciate it!

[Love, As I Know It (MAC9)]

Pretty piano.

Great composition.. and especially for your age! You should be pro-sounding by the time you are my age.. =P

If not sooner.

I do think I'd like better string samples though with it.. they are very light and just an accent.. but maybe something somewhat fuller. That'd make this even better.

Anywho, good luck in the MAC! Hopefully I'll be playing this in my broadcast! =D

Zero123Music responds:

Thanks echoz!

Yeah, I have EWQL Silver, but the strings aren't the most realistic - I used squidfont orchestral- but my soundfont player is annoying >:(

As soon as I get some money, i'll be getting gold :)

Thanks again- and sorry for pestering you for the review^^

[pleease play it :)]

[Sp1r1T - Pulse]

And you know who's gonna spin it.

ME. Definitely going on a RG set. ^_^

Umm.. dunno what to say about it.. that squarish lead is tight though. Gotta say I'm a fan. Nice ElectroHouse.

5/5, 9/10 -Echoz

Sp1r1T responds:

Thanks Echoz ^^

It means I'll have to tune in more on RG :P

[Glowing Dreams[Dj-S](full)]

Yesh.. definitely trance.

I definitely like most of the stuff you have here.. I am normally a bit sketchy on the use of Sytrus presets.. but you actually did a pretty good job on that.

I did not like those drum samples at all though. The kick was... ehh.. mediocre.. but the clap is terrible. FL default stuff I imagine. I'd recommend checking into VEC samplepacks. Also, VIPZONE has a large free sample pack that is pretty nice.

Anywho.. great work on this song. I liked the composition a lot.

5/5, 8/10 -Echoz

Sacrafan responds:

THX tell ur friends.
Yes, i am still a NOOB!
I'm glad you kinda like this, Do you think i deserve the charts position i'm at?

[We Believe Ep.6 - F-777]

Absolutely love your leads.

Great choices on those. What synths/vsts did you use on them?

Composition and build is excellent.. as to be expected. The intro has a ton of energy.. so going into the song.. there's just so much buildup there. Good stuff.

Hmm.. do have one suggestion with the outro though.. ever thought of doing a club-style mix with percussion (bass and minor melodic elements as well) extending through the end to make it mixable? Dunno.. that's just looking at it from a DJ perspective thar.

A tad bit more bass would be nice as well, but I'm very happy with the mix regardless. Sounds full, but it's not cluttered in the slightest.

Great song! =D

5/5, 9.10 -Echoz

F-777 responds:

Thanks so much! I used Nexus/Z3ta/Sytrus/3xosc/404 and a lot of these sounds i made ;).
Thanks so so so so so much!!!

Outro i was thinking of doing that but i wanted to save the idea so i could have a club-style mix with percussion INTRO for the NEXT episode ;). Would be nice i think =).

Thanks so much!

[We Believe Ep.5 (Remix)]

Brilliant

I definitely need to check out more of your stuff man. (Well.. stuff you've done in general.. I know this is a remix of F-777)

Amazing that you can improve on such awesome stuff.

Love everything in this.. the bass.. the percs.. the leads.. and definitely mixing. It manages to really push some sound.. but stays completely clear. I'd almost call it perfect. Srsly. O_o

Anywho, much props to F-777 for the original, and thanks for this excellent remix!

5/5, 10/10 -Echoz

Kr1z responds:

Yeh I worked alot on the mixing, to make it sound clear :D
Loving the review, thanks!!

[More Than Words (Lira's V]

Soo yeah...

If this doesn't at least come close to top 5, I'm gonna beat a zero-bomber with a stick. A big, painful one. Yeah, that's right bomber-douches. You'd better move that cursor over to the 5.. and click it. Nao! >=[

Well.. it's not perfect mixing.. but then again.. you did this after the original was made.. and outside of the original mix.. so that can't be expected. With the right reverb and delay on the vox though, this addition would be amazing.. thinks I.

You definitely need to do some more collabs on the site with trance artists.

I'd be up for one.. but I'm in more of a housey phase... so unless you do that as well.. well.. it'd probably be a while. lol.

Anywho, definitely keep up the good work, you have a beautiful voice.

Also, much props to Pulstate for the original track! You're definitely one of the most awesome.. frequently overlooked artists on here! Professional quality stuff.. really.

5/5, 8/10 -Echoz

Liralei responds:

Haha, if I know anything about the top 5, it's that the songs you expect to get somewhere near it never do, but thank you for the well-wishes! I'm going to try and get this mastered, so hopefully a better mix will be up soon. Thanks very much for the review! Greatly appreciated.

I sing any genre -- even a jazz song recently -- but I've been told that my voice works well with trance, and it's one of my favorites anyway (as a DJ, I spin trance) so that works. Best wishes to you with your music. :)

[(E-E) Tingling Sensations]

Hittin ya back. W00ts dance musics!

Nifty Arp, Offbeat bass.. sounds like the workings of a dance song =D

Definitely gotta get some better samples and stop putting reverb on your kicks though. I've noticed that in multiple songs... and it's not really adding to it well. That.. and you're overusing filters a bit.. better to use them as part of a breakdown or buildup than just randomly in and out. It can be a cool effect, but it's much more powerful when you think about song structure when ya do it.

I do like the melody in that arping lead though. Fun stuff.

Anywho.. feedback and such. W00t.

5/5, 7/10 -Echoz

Everlasting-Elements responds:

Well, shit man. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for the help.
