ParagonX9's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[*Atomic Trigger 3* / ZeRo BaSs]

Amazing work Zero-Bass!

One of my favorites on the Audioportal! =D
Some little 'cheesy/rich sound' changes here.
But Damn ZB this song is just so catchy
and exact the style that I just love to hear!

Somehow gives me visions of the past, that we know
eachother from the beginning of the audioportal <3
Gives a very strong feeling inside.
It's like I am together with you protecting
the audioportal from evil when I hear this song.

You belong to my NGAP nostalgia list =]
And your skills have definately increased!

Keep up the good work Zer0-Bass!
I really love your songs,
and you for still remaining in the AP
after all those years, like me (and some others)

ZeRo-BaSs responds:

We are the fearless Audio Portal Guardians :D

Yes, we both began to submit a long time ago and.. personally i started submitting after hearing a song.. "Danger Ahead": in that period i didn't even know the meaning of "electronic music".. your song has revolutionized my "musical world"
(My first submissions were pure crap for sure)

Thanks for all the tracks you submitted and for all the masterpieces you are still submitting.

Maybe I'm a part of it, but, the only thing i know is that you ARE the NG Audio Portal.

You and Dreamscaper were in the past, and will always be my favourite Ap artists..Amen =D

[Peace and Love]

Ohhh beatiful!

Damn this sounds so damn good and it just hits
through your heart or something.
I really see this being in a prologue of an
adventure game.

You really are a talented piano player!
I really hope you can make it really far with this.
I'm sure I can let many people cry when I let them
hear this song.

VERY beautiful!

[RGH: Shade of Corruption]

Congrats #1!

Hey RGH!=).Congrats getting the #1 of MAC7-MAY!!
To be honestly I really didn't expect that this
song would win XD
But I think i'm just used to listen to fast-paced
music. haha

This is more hip-hop than dnb tho..
However,it could be used as a DNB intro ofcourse.
This song is pretty calming to listen to.
So I think this song should be perfect for looping =]

Keep it up RGH! <3
-ParagonX9

RyeGuyHead responds:

To be honest with you, neither did I! haha

The track is primarily drums and bass but it has a hip-hop flavor....im lost

[Work and Play *Loop*]

Congrats #2!

Hey curriemaster!
Congrats with your 2nd place with the contest =]
Definately worth it!

This loop is really calming for your mind ^^
It somehow reminds a lot of SMW2(Yoshi's Island)
when I hear this.

Very nice!
-ParagonX9

curriemaster responds:

Paragon you sexy devil, thanks for the review :P. Glad you like the tune, its too bad these tunes were never used for the frontpage but oh well :). Cheers!

[Defcon Zero [Orch] -MrMaestro-]

Still my favorite remix!

You David0rr have made an awesome remix of Defcon Zero.
I think it's still the best remix here on NG.
Has been one of my favorites since you've submitted it.
I even got it burned on CD =]

This remix is just soo nice that i keep getting
this weird feeling above my stomach, Like there's
something spinning in there when i listen to this.

Real great work David0rr!
THank you for this remix,
It really helps me to calm down in any situation <3

- ParagonX9

DavidOrr responds:

Thank you -- what a pleasure to get a seal of approval from the original creator themselves! Hope all is well with you and your endeavors :)

P.S. I'm writing this reply in 2021; was a complete shame I overlooked this review. Better late than never!

[Karco -- After the Nova -]

really great stuff!

hey man. i thought let me give you a review back since you also reviewed one of my songs =]

I really like this, it is really amazing with all the ambient pads, some sort of dark/psycho feeling.

When I hear this it reminds me alot of the days
when i used to play Perfect-Dark on the N64 XD
that bd thing you did was amazing too and it fits perfectly in the song.

This is how ambient should sound like!
The sound really puts you into a chair in the
middle of a place surrounded by darkness.

Very well my friend!
keep it going!

Karco responds:

Wow, a review from ParagonX9? I'm flattered - but funnier still is that I can't recall reviewing any of your songs. I guess I owe you one, then. =P

Hmm, I actually wasn't intending to give it any sort of "psycho" feeling. I can see your reasoning behind dark, though.

I'm guessing the "bd" thing is a typo. Whether it is one nor not, I don't know what you're talking about and can't respond to that part. Aah well.

Glad you like it so much! Thanks a lot for the review! =D

[I'm Raving B0UNC3 REMIX]

Bounce you pro XD

You are definately the best trance artist here on NG imo =D Im still wondering how you get that professional sound. The samples you use are perfectly in combination. I think almost everything is perfect in this song (like always XD).

Maybe only one thing: I think the voice in this song could have some more distance.
Everything in the song sounds like its played in a big club, Except for the voice.
When I close my eyes and imagine like it's all live, it's like the guy with the voice is singing in a small room.

But it sure does not affect the score of the song =] It's perfect enough to say that it has been made by B0UNC3 ;]

Keep submitting dude, I love your stuff!
(mr basshunter:P) XD

[Unknown Danger]

Very good =]

I love the randomness in this. There's happening so much that it never get's bored. Very nice FX especially the reverse claps. I really enjoyed listening to this. I just HAD TO listen the whole song completely, mainly because i really wanted to know what's going to happen with the FX n stuff XD

Very kool... Keep it up =]
-ParagonX9

Stealth-Emergence responds:

Awesome!

Thanks ParagonX9

Glad you liked it!

Peace Out!

[Rucklo - EmoBitch (NoVox)]

Pretty good Rucklo =D

First off.. Congrat's on the #1 place of this
week's Top5! =]

The intro was pretty kool. I loved the filtered
bassline on the background =]
And the quick silence at :23 was really nice
to hear. And because of that the sound after
that pumped out much harder to your ears. =D

There was one thing that I didnt like.
And that was the long bass that started at 1:07
It was not really pleasant to hear because after
a few seconds it's almost like theres some sort
of thing buzzing around your ears.
This could've been fixed by using filtering FX
on it. And because of the constant heavy
frequency's in that bassline, the BassDrum of
the beat didnt pump that much as earlier in the
track. It also takes too much attention from the
listener's ear which causes that all the other
sounds are fading away to the background..

But for the rest it was really nice, and I hope
you'll keep submitting in the future =]

Nice work Rucklo!
-ParagonX9

Rucklo responds:

thanx. #1 is all BS imo, but it always attract a few extra listeners :)

This version of the song I was basicly trying out a few techniques for the subbass and the reece, and some was OK, some werent... The bassline that come in later on is from the original track, it pretty much sux... :) anyway, thanx alot for a detalied review with good tips, I´ll definitley remember them! That´s how a review should look :)
Keep an eye out for more DnB from me, I´m making a DnB "concept" as a school project. I´ll put the results right here on NG.

[Groovetek - Last Christmas RMX]

Very nice remix =D

And yes, Groovetek really is my brother!
And im glad he submitted a free song to NG =]
If you submitted this abit earlier you could've
joined the NG X-mas audio contest :/
Oh well.. It's a very nice remix from one of the
best Xmas song ever :D

Nice work!
