Ryzmik's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[DJ Spyroof & Potato Inc. - Heaven On Earth]

Like the distorted chords in the build up. The drop feel very smooth, but it's still a nice calm theme :D

[DJ Spyroof & DJ Zekno - Techno Land]

You have chosen the ideal name for this theme. After the FX Kick drop and the build-up, I wasn't expecting how euphoric was going to be this! Just the part at 1:43 was a very random change, even so I liked it, some different melody doesn't fit so bad after all.

I should have listened more of your collabs!

[~Rukkus~ [Dubstep]]

I've heard some NightKilla's styled songs, in my opinion this is the most accurate. The beginning sounds very similar to his 2011 songs, and the drops are like a mix of his 2012 and 2013 dubstep drops.
I liked the arpeggios and acid sounds with the slow rhythm, but it's rare that NightKilla used acid synths in his dubstep tracks. The first drop was good, the blippy sounds, hoovers and the 'wubby' sounds are very characteristic of him. The second build-up was really good, the drums and the growls rising are a nice touch. The second drop was freaking awesome! It just sounds so MASSIVE ;-) and it reminds me of "Figures" :D
Very nice tribute!

Thank you for the in-depth review man! :DD

[The Voice]

Awesome how it starts with a rave and then changes to a more trancy song, definitely this is my type of music.
Just I got a little bored hearing the pad playing the generic A F C G notes, which also I hear as the basslines in lot of techno music, but the GMS pluck's melody it's very beautiful :D

I must say you are really good at this. You just have done two nice songs so far and I had to do like 30 to improve my 'skills' to make a decent song lol

[In the Sky (Preview)]

It's not ok... because this is great!!! This has some euphoric and happy vibe, I always enjoy listening that porta lead in this kind of songs, the 'blips' at 0:20 are really cool too.

Only thing, the bassline is just too generic, I think these are the notes: D#, B, F#, and then C#. I usually hear that bassline in lot of techno songs, I've even avoid to use it many times when I'm making melodies for my projects.

But in general really good track, hope you finish it sooner or later! :D

[Dream Dance]

Great song! I really like the piano chords, overall the part that goes an octave up. It would have been great if you accompanied the chords with the plucky synth of the beginning (0:14). I always used minisynth in my old techno tracks for the porta/glide synth. To be your first song sounds very good. Keep it up! :D

[Nudist Beats]

Nice beat, the saw basslines and the delay effects gives it a cool vibe.

I don't know much about Kill La Kill, but that Aikuro must be a badass character.

Moddex02 responds:

Well not really badass but quite an interesting character nonetheless !

[Trickshot - Choices (WIP)]

My god, that intro got me into the song, the piano is deep and the pad really calm, all well equalized. Nice beat after the intro, I like the vocal chops you put in the drop along with the chords, I normally find weird those typical house/futurebass vocals, but these ones are cool.
I know it's a wip, but if I were you I would lower down the volume of that clap, and would put again that piano in the second part of the chorus, just some ideas.
Hope you finish it sooner or later! :D

[DJ Spyroof - New Memories]

Yeah, another great hands up theme! Love the transition from a 4/4 to 3/4 signature and the porta lead, It gives me a 2000's techno vibes! And that reverb tail at the end fit very well.

Seems that you have limited the volume peaks, I also tried to increase the gain as high as possible and use a limiter in my latest song so that all parts sound the same loud.

Good job with this one! :D

[Blake Reary - Hanging On (Kr1z Electro Mix)]

This is my favourite demo song of FLStudio!
Overall nice version of the song, just it feels a bit empty in most parts, I only distinguish 3 instruments, but the melody which plays that square-like lead and the groovy bass at the choruses are cool. Even though it's unmastered it sounds good.
For the tempo and the bass I would say it seems more an electro remix, or house idk.
It's great to know there's people who knows about classic dance/techno nowadays :D
