GronmonSE's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-=Future Dreams=-]

Wonderful track.

I like the slow progression on this track, but I encountered the first bump at 1:07. It's great until there, but there's something you can do to make the full drums introduction a lot better. The transition at 1:07 is lacking IMO.

You could try doing a very quick and sharp crescendo with a single synth and without drums seconds before you add the drums and you can also add a crash at 1:07, unless you don't want an explosive intro of drums.

You did something similar to the above at 2:48, which is nice. I like the choir that you began using in between those two points.

Overall, it's a very good, subtle track. Love the piano and the pads. Excellent automation job too.

Keep it up.

combatplayer responds:

:) thanks allot.. ill fix that with the 1:07 one. i have a full automation on every singel synth thrugh the whole track so it shouldent be that much of a probleme... i think ill lower the rest of the synths a lil bit and then crash.. and then attack.. and the choir. i have to admit im a bit proud of taht myself xD... its Vocaloid2: Prima so no singer is invloved in this track :P all by me xD.. and ill fix that.. and upload the new one... when ppl are happy ill do a full quality render.. (this is a low quality one)

again. thanks allot for ur review :) let me know if u want updates on pm conserning this track :P

Update:
(these problemes are now fixed and i saved in a higher quality this time)

[Just Another Number]

!!!!!

I hate writing short reviews, but I can't type anything long when I'm too busy orgasming over a song.

The ONLY thing that bugs the fuck out of me are the auxiliary drums that come in at 3:24. The introduction of those is -way- to weak for my taste, since I love when drums go from low frequency to medium frequency (I'm not even sure if that's the correct way to put it, correct me please).

That aside, this is just beautiful. The piano is subtle and relaxing, and oddly enough, it contrasts really well with the sharper buzzy synth.

Keep it up, not much I can say other than that. Great EQing btw.

S3C responds:

"I hate writing short reviews, but I can't type anything long when I'm too busy orgasming over a song."

Thats quite the compliment, thanks!!! I'm really glad you enjoyed

Um, not too sure what the "correct" term would be (maybe ascending?) but what you said about the drums comes across clear enough :P I never really thought about programming the drums that way in this piece.

So thanks for the review!

[Bring Me Up]

Pretty good!

The first thing that caught my attention here was the drum beat, it goes really well with the intro melody. However, you might wanna play a bit more with them, they don't change at all, so try adding variation to them.

Nice synth choices and semi-effective transitions between sections. The crashes are alright, nothing special, but they work.

You're great at melodies. You just need to play around with those drums to add variation to the track.

Keep it up and feel free to check out my stuff sometime~

djhathor23 responds:

ahh wow that was the best constructive criticism ive ever gotten!!! thank you so much!!! i will look into your stuff!

[Jacobs' Cabin]

Pretty decent.

Is this the first song you've ever made?

I like the synths you use for this. The drum samples aren't techno-ish enough though, nor the drum beat.

The transition at 0:26 is pretty weak, fix that if you can.

Might wanna clean up everything and add more structure to it with effective transitions. You've got a basic melody, now work with it.

Keep it up and check out my stuff sometime.

sergeantx responds:

thx for the feedback! ill make sure to check out your stuff.

[Wyze - water!]

Haha wow.

I'm fucking lol'ing at this. Beautiful.

Blasphem-E responds:

It was fun to make :)

[(NUB)Sinking Weightless]

Pretty good.

Everything great. The kick is too piercing and dominant starting at 2:24 IMO though. Whilst you should be proud of the clean mixing job on this, I'd suggest lowering the kick's volume a little bit. Either that or my ears suck.

Keep it up.

[Blue Rose <3MAC09]

Beautiful.

Your skills have gotten a lot better I see, keep it up, great song.

EchozAurora responds:

Thanks! =D

[(NUB)How does I 8bit ?]

Awesome.

I liked the main lead so much, I ended up making a shorter cover song for it.

Subpar to your work of course, but it was very fun to work on.

Keep it up, Nubbin. Great tune.

[Halo Theme Guitar Solo 2]

Insane stuff.

This belongs in OCRemix, man, it's too good for Newgrounds.

But hey, nothing wrong with NG haha. This thing is amazing.

I can't really give you crit because it's just perfect. Crazy playing and appropriate background music. The effects on the guitar wonderful. Only complaint would be that the guitar at the end is too loud.

May I ask two things though?

What did you use for the piano?
How do you record your guitar into the computer? I have my own Lexicon box, but it's either horrible or FL just wasn't made for recording live.

Keep it up.

Kor-Rune responds:

I played the piano through a USB MIDI controller, using sounds from the Edirol Orchestra VST, including their "concert piano" sound.

For guitar, I have a unidirectional dynamic vocal microphone touching the mesh of my Line 6 Spider III 75w amp. I steal it from my sister whenever I need to use it, haha.

Thanks for the review yo! I would try to get it up on OCRemix, but I simply just don't make that many remixes. I'm more for original music. I like to produce more complex and unique stuff.

[Voice acting demo 1]

Sir...

Please lay off those energy drinks!

This is very cartoonish and it's got the right amount of energy a cartoon requires. Best part is how obnoxious you can sound! That's a good thing if you're looking for randomness. I love the "dog shit" part haha.

But please....PLEASE. Don't EVER sing again. Please? ):

Thanks for reviewing one of my songs :D

Stalagmite responds:

i am sorry for the singing. i have not got a good voice... at all. ever LOL. i only sang because it is for my puppet show. and i needed something else to keep the kids engaged. You must be a singer then lol. normally people who dont sing can spot people being out of key. I am sorry! lol.
Well, my fav bit in this is definately the "dog shit" part as well. and my Obnoxiousness... yes. lol. most characters are based on what i know best LOL.
thanks alot for your great review and score. :D
