durn's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-Funkalicious-]

thank you

:) great job here. absolutely loved it. funk will never die!

[Operation Hallucination(F]

Trippy goodness

You can definitely hear your psy-trance influences in this.

An exceptional ambient atmosphere. Great work on your rhythm section, love the stereo positioning you use on your rolls. I love the kick rolls you use as well.

The rhythmic synth you use around 2:30 in is amazing, love all the automation you use on it.

As big of a fan of them as I am, the only thing I didn't like was the simpsons quote, it seemed out of place. You'd set a more or less serious tone throughout the song so it just seemed kinda cheesy.

Coulda used a sample from a 1930s drug PSA film or something.

"Johnny didn't understand the dangers of marijuana... he got so high that he thought it would be fun to eat glass. Johnny's dead now..."

;)

TimmyDope responds:

Hahahaha very true about the sample!!!!!!!! I guess the sample can easily be replaced... i will look for a more suited one!!! im Glad you liked the tune though!!! I started off with the simple D major to D minor chord progression and the rest just seemed to write itself from there lol!!! Thanks for the Review!

[[VN]-Spirit of the Soul]

trancey!!!

honestly, you've got some amazing notes going on there. very epic trance sounding. love the chords, I almost want to steal them but I won't. :P lol

but aye, the drums are wayyyy offbeat. :)

VNStudios responds:

Haha, don't worry, I'll eventually try to fix the drum beats. Thanks for the review!

[Get Buck In Here (Remix)]

if only all hip hop was done house-styles

f'ing killer, man. honestly, I'm normally not a big fan of rap but you have sold me, sir!

very professionally done. :) all your levels came through clean.

Love the power on your bassline. Nice electro edge to it.

[Heartbreak (Remix)]

mmm, vocal goodness. :)

absolutely great use of vocals. everything was panned out perfectly stereo-wise, I loved the way you played with the vocal samples (sounded a bit like you were using pre-delay).

your rhythm section rang out clear and clean, nothing was overpowering anything else. beautifully mastered tune here. :)

excellent work! very professional sound you've achieved. :)

[Hi-Tech Incursion]

mmm jazzy piano

absolutely loving this song, man. :) I -love- funky jazz piano licks.

the way you play around with the pitch/detune on the rhythm section is really nice as well.

top shelf! :)

JohnnyFrizz responds:

Thank you very much durn, yeah, the rhythm section was probably one of the hardest things to make for this song, good thing you noticed it haha!

[The Valley - WaS]

awesome

I was hoping this would make it up. It had just such an amazing feel to it while I was playing the game.

So atmospheric, warm and just... so chills. Loved it!

[I Know Your Body]

mmm, rolls

I love the detuned rolls you start with.

Everything about this song has a weird sense of finely tuned decay. Like everything's off just a little bit, but in such an exceptional way.

The voice is just creepy, definitely lends itself to the song. :) nice work!

TimmyDope responds:

Thanks mate, its an honor to have Durn review my work! i have been listening to yours for a while!! you rock too bro!!! TimmyDope

[~|Feeling Ice [Tech House]]

feeling wind!

grtz on top 5, man. :)

woulda given you a 10 but I didn't like some of the chords you were using. very relaxing and atmospheric, regardless. :)

would go -great- in some sort of flying game with floating cities and airships and stuff. :) very nice work!

Helth responds:

Thanks alot man! :D

[Sunset Lounge - (extendet dub)]

relaxin' and head-boppin'

subtle, ambient, beautiful. :)

I like the way you gradually bring in/fade out your elements, has a nice calming/soothing power to it. Excellent automation of volume to achieve that effect.

The way the song transitions is just beautiful. I could seriously see this being in a movie soundtrack.

Especially around 4 minutes in, it's just so nice. The guitar that follows especially makes this tune an all-around beautiful thing to hear.

Mad respect to ya, man. :)

ID-N responds:

good respekt to the great review man
thx glad u like this one
:)
