Droplifter's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dance of the Jnun]

You have a literally incredible talent for this type of music. Things I don't like: It's too short. That's it.

You should carry on exploring. The command you have over composition is unreal, and considering you're still in school (from what I gather) that's really well done.

Really looking forward to what you do next.

Step responds:

Wow man, thanks for all the big compliments! Yeah I'm 16 so I'm still in school but I started music at an early age (nearly 13) so I do have a few years of experience.

And as I said to SkyeWintrest below me, I can't make it longer since this is for a school project and the leader of the team I'm in requested for it to be around this duration. Still, I have plenty of other longer songs like Sanctuary or the other Morocco track I have submitted if you're interested, although they're all in different styles from this one.

Still, thanks a lot for the support. I really appreciate it. You've got some awesome music submitted too!

[Morocco]

Fantastic piece of music. There's an incredible amount of instruments and ideas going on here. I literally cannot begin to explain how good I think this is. Within 20 seconds it reminded me of a lot of games (assassin's creed, civilization, etc) but done to a whole new level.

This is a seriously good piece of music. And considering it's only 1:50 long, it covers a lot of ground in a short time.

Fantastic, 10/10.

Step responds:

Wow man, you came out of nowhere and reviewed two of my tracks with really supportive reviews. I honestly can't thank you enough!

I'm really glad you like it; this is going to be used for the cinematic introduction in our play so I did try to fit in a lot of elements to give it a 'big epic' feel.

Thanks again!

[Valence]

Interesting stuff. Nice beat that. I'd say it's more like IDM than trance? Still good though.

wulfsok responds:

Had never heard of it till you mentioned it. It was a bit of a challenge trying to put a genre to what I've been doing lately. Thanks mate!

[The Rainbow Song [WIP]]

I like this, reminds me of Sonic or Mario, and where the instruments aren't particularly my thing it's a really good piece of music, nice one.

Troisnyx responds:

Thank you! I'm not sure if Sonic is going to be one for sparkles, glitter and rainbows (Mario's a little more that type). Glad you liked it! : )

[Frequency]

Cool stuff, liked all the different sounds, and the shuffly beats. Well nice.

[Your Love (Bugg Remix)]

I like it. Some parts sound a bit too detuned for me but I it's interesting to listen to.

BuggMusic responds:

not sure which bit you're talking about... but thanks for the review!

[{US} Beauty]

Nice stuff. Reminds me of massive attack, but more of the music to Postal, you should extend it. Good work.

UnholySeer responds:

Thank you. I will work more on such atmospheres.

[Warmth to you]

I really love everything about this except...

The drums. I really really like this tune. But I really don't like the kick, it's really off-putting. But I voted 5 because I enjoyed the song and the synths, you almost don't need a beat to it. 8/10 stars because of the drums, but 5/5 voted.

crg41890 responds:

lol your totally right, i agree. thanks though i appreciate it.

[Rise of the machines [dubstep]]

Not too shabby

Some good bass sounds. Really don't like the ever-present sub-drone though, not my thing, and drum beat isn't really my thing, kick sounds a bit too nasal. Not too bad though

laursaur responds:

Thanks for the reply, ive been having issues with the kick :/ i tried everything but its either too nasal or too reverrb'y. ill try to fix that in upcoming tracks.

[Iris Atmosphere]

I like this

I really like the melody and progression and that. I really don't like the drum beat, but I'm guessing you're using the FL sequencer? That's a bitch to make authentic-sounding beats with.

But that's personal preference, I like the song, 5/5 voted. 8/10 review just for the fact it doesn't sound quite right with the drums to me, but voted 5/5

caniam responds:

I'm doing practically everything in the Piano Roll.
I think it is the hi-hats you dislike, but I can tell you I use a quite standard way of doing the "hi-hat beat". It gives a much more complete sound, I can promise that you would think worse of it if I only put the hi-hats on every 8 step :)

Thank you so kindly, share the track to your trance friends. I really like the criticism.
