ChasingPresence's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Horizon]

As always the synths are always godly. I dont know why I just don't like the kick. Try putting some more punch on your kicks.

But still a great song + 5 stars :)

Geoplex responds:

Hm, I've increased the mid-highs and cut the lows down to about a 120-135Hz range. Maybe it's the sample I'm using.

Are my other kicks punchier than this? Cause I used this kick in a few other songs.

Thanks for the review :P

[EnV - Sanctuary]

Sounds more along the lines of house, especially at the end. I still feel like the drums could be a bit louder, but that's just me. I love the stereo effects on some of the breaks though, stellar job.

I think what people mean about this song not being EnV enough is not having that complete avicii feel, this is like a mix of deadmau and avicii, if that makes sense. Love the house feeling though, and the punchy drums at the end are very nice.

I, however, like the continual fade of each part of the drums and instruments, it just sounds more professional. Also, experiment with different genres, it's a good way to spice up your production, trust me ;)

Good tune there, cheers.

[Edge of Time]

stunkel responds:

You are very good at making situational music, something I lack. Great job!

stunkel responds:

XD I'm sure you can do it too! :P Thanks for commenting man

[Origin]

170-175 is usually what the genre expects.

Again another great track! Glad to see you took my advice! I don't really recognize any synths used in previous songs, so good job there!

The hi hat and the drum beat is very catchy, which grabbed my attention quite quickly.

I like the ambient talking during the bridge a lot. Just an overall great song man, keep up the great work!

Geoplex responds:

Thanks. To be perfectly fair, I didn't go out of my way to use original sounds, and the bells sound almost exactly like a piano at times. But, yeah :P

[A New King]

Great job man! Hope you do well this year :D

stunkel responds:

Thanks man :) Best to you as well!

[DJ Theof - Mystery]

As for what DanDawg said, I agree with him. The best producers are the ones who can make their own synths, and not rely on presets from z3ta, nexus, or sylenth. And if you are finishing these songs in one hour, there is definitely a creative issue going on here. It doesn't even seem you used any delay, reverb, or filter effects besides of course an EQ. I know many other producers who make techno/dream trance songs like you, and to be honest your songs do not sound anything different. Not to mention every song of yours is the same genre and uses almost all of thr same instruments! Try spending 2 weeks on a song for like 2 hours a day, and try to make it sound unique as possible. Because you will never get far in the music industry if you keep making these kinds of songs that take 1 hour. I hope you will reconsider your production strategy. I won't rate up there but please try to take my advice.

TastyTeo responds:

I never said i disagreed with DanDawg, i just said that this is what people do these days. And i am not relied on presets, if you check my youtube channel where i make tutorials and stuff i try to make them without using third party vst's. The reason i have been finishing all these songs in one hour is because i was pretty bored and no i was not trying to make a masterpiece, there are other songs where i put more work into them, more effects and they are arranged much better than this one, this one is the worst example that could hit the popular audio page. As for the genre, what is your problem with that? i prefer doing the same genre i don't want to switch to some dubstep and leave techno again die and bring dubstep up because it's a new genre (Just giving an example here). As for the same instruments yes i've been using many times the same instruments i know and that's a bad thing, but still it's up to me what instruments i will be using and it's your opinion to like them or not. Also spending 2 weeks seems pretty lazy to do for me plus i could have done the same thing in 2 to 3 working hours and i mean not lazy. Thanks for the tips anyway and for your time to review this.

[Meltdown (Full)]

Hell yeah man, I am really starting to like your stuff, you sound SO professional it is really unbelievable. Just keep putting your stuff out there and you will definitely be out there so quick. The kick sounds a bit muffled, but the rest of the track sounds godly! I am pretty sure I suggested this already, but you should submit your stuff to Monstercat. Keep up the great work! You mind checkin out my Dubstep track? I would love to hear feedback from you man :D Have a great day!

RedVelvetSquared responds:

Your stuff is great keep up the work :D

[I Sell Blowjobs]

Awesome track man! I feel like the kick needs more higher low frequencies on it, otherwise good job!

TBM responds:

Thanks mate, I'll play around with the kicks some more (maybe some exciters?)
