Endeavour's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tim Herst - Building Down[OM]]

hi there

Very nice song !.
This time I really write a small review cause im tired as hell atm,
And tomorrow I have my exam in science =P

As for the clipping noise at the break, thats not very difficult to remove.
Just place it on an FX and add a fruity limiter on preset "Brickwall".
After that add a Fruity Parametric control and remove the highest pitches.
(7) and (6). If that is not enough you could also lower the built in Parametric control each FX panel has.

Very nice song as always,
Perfect progression, barely any mastering issues.

5/5, 10/10,
take care,
Endeavour.

P.S

We still have to visit eachother to share our knowledge xD

D-Chain responds:

wow, thnx man!
short review means short but still constructive!
i shall take a look at those tips when i get back from school, i thank you to share them :)

and yea damn we still need to visit each other..
but since you haven't much of time b/c of your exame i could wait it out xD

and thanks again mate!

[Estiva - I Feel Fine *Remix*]

short review here

Hey man,

Jesus christ =P, in such a short time you already have another song for 8 minutes +. You sure have a huge motivation, which is a compliment xD.

You got an amazing collection of synths, they sound very smooth and professional.

But wow 0_o, what happens at 0:45 ??.
A melody shaped synth comes in, but it goes offbeat 0_o.
Listen to it for yourself, you kinda placed some notes to early i.m.o
Thats something you might want to change.

As always, the quality is perfect, no single distortion or clipping issues.
And the mastering is also very very good.
You could increase the volume of the reversed cymbal though.
Its rather soft when not listening thru a headphone.

Keep going man,
And DARN 0_O, make ppl vote this a bit more.
im the 4th >.<

(you can also vote 5/5 on your songs yourself, to compensate the zero bombing effects.. these bastards exist =( )

D-Chain responds:

Wow omg xD shoirt review, still a long one :)
thanks for the first compliment.
my motivation comes from nowhere else but my heart
in a sudden i have something what i want and BAM.. there i go..

anything what happens @ 0:45 isnt off beat..
i did also find it weird myself.. but after 7 time's checking it still wasn't off beat :)
it just may look like it IS offbeat.

and thanks for the 2nd comliment :)
my mastering just sucked these times..
and i needed a remix to make realy bad.

and again, i shall look at the reversed cymbal :O haven't noticed it yet :)
__
i know ppl zero bomb me ¬¬
but i shall make anything happen.

Underrated 0_O

One of the many songs that is terribly underrated.
I mean, come on =S, 3.78 score ?.
This should be around 4.40 for sure.
You have to be acknowledged a bit more for your songs.
There better than you might think.
Many crap songs have higher score than this one.

Thinks to work on :
----
That annoying high volume trance sweep =P,
Lower its volume or its quantity xD.

----
that break at 1.56 is somewhat unexpected.
You might want to end the last note with some kind of delay reversed cynbal,

Very good job, im digging it =D,
Take Care,
Endeavour.

D-Chain responds:

Haha, thank you very much Endeavour!
this is appriciated in all terms!
i shall take a look at the pointers you gave for sure.
-the high volume sweep
-the unexpected break

and yes i know, some of my songs are underrated..
yet i dont know the exact problem, is it me? or other ppl..
it could be such ppl as zero bombers that just know my account?
i do know 1 thing, ill never give in,..

like i vote 0 on Rap/R&B submission.. its not even my taste of music, so i wont listen to it xD

[Unity in Serenity]

Keep Practising

I can hear you are quite new yet, is that correct ?.
Nevertheless its very good.
You already use several good plugins.

Now you should do the following :

Listen to a very good trance song with a magnificient STRUCTURE.
Keep listening until you can determine the entire setup of the song.
Like : the intro, "what did he do to make it that catchy and that beautiful".
The middle "How did he do the bass, and what instruments did he use".
And also take a good look at his transitions, like reversed cymbals and filters.

When you get the hang of that structure, try to make a song yourself with EXACTLY the same structure, its ok if its not as good as the song youré copying from =P. This is by far the best and fastest way to improve.

When listening to your song I heard a lot of misplaced transitions and unexpected breaks troughout it. By learning how i mentioned above, you will learn to make professional setups ^^ i promise, i did the same.

I uploaded a song 30 mins ago to, you might want to check it ? =D
Its : 332117 (put this on the end of a newgrounds submission url).
its called : Endeavour - Cease to exist
It aint that good, xD but you might get the hang of the structure.

Anyhow, I hoped i could help you a bit with this review of mine xD.

keep going man,
Endeavour.

P.S :

I could clearly hear you used Zeta+ " PM " at 1.45 lol xD.
You might want to add more effects to synths to "cover" them a bit.

DJEncryption responds:

OMG I LOVE YOU!!!\

No homo, thx for the pointers and my next song might be pretty good.

Once again thx and check out my next song

[Synaptic drift [P']]

Huh 0_o Good morning !!

Hey Pecka, long time no seen
(not that i can actually c you, but meh).

When i started listening this i noticed a very AMAZING sound of professionality.
The sounds cope very well together and make it some kind of dreamtrance.
So i smacked myself in the face to check if I was dreaming, but i only got my nose bleeding for that.

After consuming a jumbo pack of tissues i continued listening.
I noticed a very good buildup, it was amazing !.
Then at 3:15 or so an unexpected but cool break came.
I felt really sleepy tbh.
So i closed my eyes for a little while when listening.

Like 3 hours later i woke up with your song still on.
A very good song to wake up with t.b.h, if i wouldnt fall off my chair on the ground. (made a 'get out of bed' move which isnt clever on a chair ).

oh, at 6:00 or so the sphere of the song is A-MA-ZING.
very cool and uplifting song in general.
Sorry i couldn't rate this properly man xD i suck at reviews y'know.
Bad english, (headache) and more disadvantageous stuff going on here.

Keep making music 4 sure !! ur improving faster than i do !!

I might be making music once in a while yet, but im not sure. I kinda stopped 50% lol.

latest song = Endeavour - Life is Good [WiP], you should check it out when having time.

Cheers mate, and good night (yawn) =).

PeckaPrime responds:

Hey, yeah it's been a while, that was some stand up comedic review.
Thanks for stopping by, reviewing, liking it, and all that :D much appreciated. :)

I know what you mean tho, im not as active musically here on newgrounds as i was too, i don't really follow the music scene here anymore. I still play around in FL now and then but nothing serious, not that i don't have time, im just lazy and do other things.

Im making a song now though, im not sure when it'll be finished (if it'll even be finished) since i don't spend much time in FL studio.

Been almost half a year since this track, time sure flies, heh.
Anyway, thanks for stopping by, im gonna go check you song out.

[unknown name(WIP)]

No reviews ?! 0_o

Hello there,

You reviewed one of my songs once, so thats how i knew of your existance ^^.
Why the heck don't you have any reviews at all ?!.
People who make music should be motivated a lot in order to make them better.
Thats how i became better, and that is how you will become better.

This song reveals a lot of promises in you as a music maker.
The music doesn't sound professional by sounds, cause i hear a shitload of unchanged presets. But the structure of the music sure is a good one.
The song is well balanced, and all combined together.

Most beginners just make a bunch of melodies and stuff and pull it together in one song y'know what i mean ?.

This one clearly isnt.
You just need a bit of help i think.
I dont have much criticm about the structure of the song =).
You realy should change the presets a bit.
Atleast put a nice fruity reeverb on them, and a parametric EQ.

A filter would do nice also.
Place a fruity free filter on one of your patterns, and right click on the filter button. then do : Make an envelop (not sure how to describe it.).
You should also download Zeta, Nexus, and vanguard.
These plugins provide a lot of nice synths.

I hope i have helped you a bit.
You sure have a lot of potential mate.

keep going, and dont give up ^^,
Listen to one of my songs (on my account called Endeavour), and imagine yourself you will do better in 2 more songs ;), you will be amazed at your improvement.

Take Care,
Endeavour.
4.21 / 5.00 (+ 0.039)

P.S

Vote 5/5 on your own songs. it may be a bit lame, but its the only way to gain more views and votes and especially, reviews for your songs.
The better ur song is, the longer it will stay above 4.40 score.

dynamizer responds:

Thanks alot bro!
I really like reading comments and
stuff like this really DOES help me out!
and you sound like you know what your talking about so ill take
your advice! :) ill make sure to check some of your work

[Hypetek-crump [hardstyle]]

you keep changing names =P

Heyya

Hmm im not very used to hardstyle, but it didn't sound bad at all.
You might give some more bass at the beginning,
And i never knew filters were hardstyleish.
I love the filters for sure though =P.

Also the melody was very funny on a strange way.
something like an attraction sound lol xD.

The vocals in it were well mastered.
As for the kick/bass : It kept going on one note.
You should variate the kick and the bass a little bit to different tones.
Let it follow the melody a bit.

Very good job though, im gonna vote high ;),
Greets,
Endeavour.

Ollieflasher responds:

Thanks very much for the review mate.
Be sure to check out Target aswell its my best yet.

And yes i do keep changing names lol but i love HypeTeK. So i may stick with this for a while.

Anyway im gonna go check out if you have anything knew now so thanks for the review.

speak 2 ya soon,

HypeTeK

[Energy (Brando Re-remix)]

Amazing !

Hiya brando.

How are you doing ??.
I havent heard this song yet.
But it is damn amazing for sure !!!.
I love the vocals in it, and the melody is one of the best i have heard.
You did a very good job remixing this !

As always your use of synths and lead sounds is truely amazing !.
You are one of the best in that aspect for sure.
I think the kick could be a bit harder though, just some more volume and stuff ;).

Ohya, i was wondering something xD
How do you make that reverbed vocal at 0:22 / 0:23 ?

Ive heard it very often on NG, but i can't seem to do the same.

Gave you a nice score boost ;),
4.41 / 5.00 (+ 0.011)

Keep rolling em mate,
Endeavour.

Dj-Brand0 responds:

Hey Endeavour, sorry about the late reply. I saw your review a while ago and never got around to replying :\ so yeah, here it is :S

Really glad you liked the melody, it was one i had alot of fun with. Although to me it still sounds really unclear, needs to be properly mastered. (i did my best) my comp couldn't handle it anymore.

About the vocal i followed this video, that's how i figured out how to do it.

if u can't understand it, there's other videos there just search reverse reverb tutorial or reverse delay tutorial.

Thanks for the review, glad u liked it.

-Cheers Brando

[xKore - Cosmos (Hard Mix)]

thats incredible 0_o

Holy shit.

This could be played straight on a house event 0_o.
That bass is huge !, and the song is made DJ Friendly.
Is this done with one of the common plugins like Zeta Nexus Vanguard ?!.

Its just amazing for sure. this is one of the best and highest quality tracks i have met on newgrounds !.

Keep going mate, you rock at making house for sure !.

Greets,
Endeavour.

xKore responds:

I use FL, and mainly use Massive and Sylenth1.

[Club Night]

Mother Mariah 0_o

i LOVE these BEAUTIFUL synths in the beginning. those were 100% trance.
also the kick sounded a bit club house like. i like it !.

at 00.35 you changed a bit to an Arp =P. it was quite unexpected. you should announce it. further in the song i got dissappointed a bit. the song made me think it was working to some kind of climax, but it just remained the same, and made a good outro.

well nothing wrong with this song !!. one of ur better works for sure. ! the effects are magnificient !. and WOW 0_o the song got used for a GAME !!.
Amazing man !!! the bad side for u is that you can't delete the song now lol. you seem to do that often. (dont know why).

Well, GJ on this one mate.
Im now gonna listen to ur last song. i hope its even better than this one !!!.

Greets,
Endeavour.

Paperman12 responds:

Thanks, I gotta agree with you 100%.. Well I delete my tracks often cause I don't like to keep old crap up :P.. I kept these tracks for memories and just to have something up..
