ShootingStar's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mm Vs St - Tioc(original Mix)]

Sounding pretty good :)

My only problem is that the percussion doesn't seem to flow from beat to beat.
Other than that, really great trance song, even though I would personally classify it as house.. Still good :)
Enjoyed all of it!
Keep up the awesome work!

by the way, what drum samples are you using and vsts etc.. im interested in
trying to make this kind of music, but I don't really have the materials.

And if you wouldn't mind checking out my latest song, its a little more upbeat than this, but pretty close!

D-Chain responds:

aight thanks, yea i thought i did something wrong here :)
i just havent made something in a month if it aint more... which i would never do otherwise.

you could classify this as both trance and house.. but im just upping at the trance section b/c it sound's more trancy then housy this time xD

thanks for your review and score ;)

[The Journey Begins !]

HOLY CRAP

This is like Super Mario Galaxy World worthy - man this is some GREAT music!!!
Keep up the awesome songs!!!
Can't wait until your next submission!! :)

[Vorpal Dream]

Nice

In the beginning add some chords, maybe a longer build up, get a better clap, and DEFINITELY don't have things just randomly coming in, make more of 8 bar phrases.
Other than that, nice song :)
Keep on making songs!! (you'll get better :)

[Tetris (Epic Flight Mix)]

Nice! :D

Doesn't sound too bad - especially for a first song :)
Really like your kick - sounds pretty good! :D
lol maybe add a crash in the beginning for more phrasing...
Interesting sounds :) I like it! :D

Keep up the awesome work!

ShootingStar

[Sweet Release]

Hmm not bad :)

Really a pretty good song :)
So basically what I'd suggest on doing: Make this a little more progressive, like just have the kick come in at first, then add clap, then hi-hats, etc
Also, take the bass down an octave and get a really kinda hard bass if you know what I mean
Add a pad in the whole song as well, make it fill up some space that you have.. I'd also suggest sidechaining that pad..
But really good, maybe a little bland for my taste, but overall really good :)
Keep up the awesome songs!
[Up for a collab?]

Check out some of my work!

Dj-GST responds:

Thanks man.

I know what you mean about the bassline, but it's right where I want it :)

There is a pad, if you listen closely, you can hear it behind the melodies and drums.

I'm glad you like it so much!

Sure I'll collaborate with you! Just PM me some info about what you'd like to do.

[WIP.0.6 Alpha]

Wow :)

Very relaxing, the voice is amazing!!
Fits perfectly!
Something I would personally change would be to add maybe a soft sub bass, just for something down in that low range..
Also, I think that your pluck needs some reverb, then it would be some sick nasty stuff :)
Other than that, really awesome vocals, song, everything fit perfectly!
Up for maybe singing for a song for me?

Check out some of my stuff! (I last uploaded a song that I'm singing in :)

Maverlyn responds:

XD lol it's not me singing..

also: it's work in progress, i need to get FL studio 9.1 to get all the good instruments in and ill redo it completly.

Thx for the rev and i will be looking at shootingstar in a moment :)

[[S_Rock] Akeakamai]

Wow

This is like some really great breakcore stuff - wouldn't exactly classify it as hip hop, but really great song you have here!
To start off, that pretty epic guitar, builds, and then BOOM! Just amazing sounds you have here.
Maybe a little repetitive thats my only my problem..
But other than that, beast song!
Keep up the awesome songs! :D

Check out some of my work please!
ShootingStar

S-Rock responds:

Most songs are repetitive without a good lyricist. Thanks :)
I'll check it out.

:D

[Isolation-[Dj-S]]

Nice

Most of this sounds pretty good :)
Just about the only thing I'd change, maybe make the bass down an octave, and put a shaker in that drum beat :) on all 16th notes, and then make it swung enough it sounds cool XD
Other than that, really beast song! Maybe work on structuring some, but really sounds great!
Keep up the awesome songs! :D

ShootingStar

Sacrafan responds:

I'll try to keep up the "awesome songs"

[Crazy Jungle Fever]

Interesting :)

Wow, this definitely got me tapping my toe :) Pretty cool beats :D
Wouldn't exactly say the whole song is drum and bass, but really sounds nice :)
Don't have much to say, other than keep up the awesome songs!! :D
Great job!

ShootingStar

Maverlyn responds:

Wooh thx for the comment!

Tho i wasnt aiming for dnb.. more like dubstep/oldschool electroica.

ill keep the crazy going and have a new beat out soon!

[[DjAlyX]MF Point of Perfection]

Not bad :)

I'm not the greatest hardstyle judge - but I would definitely take a look at getting a much stronger kick and fixing mastering.. Everything seems overcompressed.
But other than that, interesting melody, sounds good :D
Keep up the awesome work!
(And work on that collab :)

Check out some of my stuff!
ShootingStar

dreadnought106 responds:

I always check out your stuff :) And as I said I didnt reli bother too much with mastering :L MAstering wise its not too bad but its more of a test than an actual track :L And I am :)
