itsameyayo's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rucklo - Hewitt Themesong]

Haha

This seems more like funk than jazz to me, but then again, it has some similarities to modern jazz, but whatever, i guess it doesn't matter :P

-Snares could have overpowered the song if it were the whole thing, that's good.

Hmm...

-The rim shots (I don't think it's called that, but for lack of a better vocabulary of percussion at midnight) are nice, but need to be toned down on the high end of the EQ spectrum, rings in my ear a bit too much :P

-Nice

-ImperfectDisciple

Rucklo responds:

oh well... genre-schmengre. Thanx for a good review. :)

[Serenity^Dft]

Lol!

My only complaint is that we definitely have that bass guitar on too low of an EQ setting at the beginning. Otherwise, YAYZ!!!

Darthfett responds:

I've been working on it a bit, and this is one of the changes in the newer version. I'll try and get an updated version up soon.

Thanks for your review, and good luck with your music! :)

[Heavy Melodic Loop]

Short...

But fricken sweet!!!

-That is all :D

-ImperfectDisciple

Black-Cloak-of-Night responds:

Thanks a lot, man. I posted the full song, on my other account. You might know it.
Bad-man-incorporated. Glad you like it dude. The song is actually called "River of Blood".

Glad you enjoyed and thanks for the review!\m/

[Crazy Voice Trumpet Solo]

Well...

It's actually kinda interesting. My main complaint is that the song is very high frequency. The instruments have this high edge that just hurts my ears, so yes, my ears are bleeding, but being healed at the same time?

-Basically, EQ the high end, it's sharp and it has a bit of distortion.

sorohanro responds:

yep... you are right ... so, i made a new version but i don't know if i should post it ...
maby i should wayt until they will put the option to update a song because i don't want to have many of those, one is more than enough.
thanx for review, probably the most helpfull

[:-{-Clairvoyant Dreams-}-:]

You definitely know how to use your melodies.

The melodies and harmonies of the instruments are really uplifting, which is really nice. Some of the instruments need to be mixed better, such as the piano, it seems too piercing on the high end, maybe move the EQ'ing to the middle frequencies to add some clarity.

-The bass might be a bit too much, not sure 'cause I can hear slight crackling, not sure if that's intentional.

-My only serious complaint is that the song isn't very dynamic on the drums, which is okay, but then it gets to the end of the song, and it's quite disappointing. Maybe if you kicked it back with some drums with a full up ending, that might be more satisfying, 'cause it seems as though you built it up for nothing.

-Good though!

-ImperfectDisciple

ArcaneClock responds:

Thanks for the tips! I can perfectly understand each suggestion, especially the drums. Some better mastering might have helped the piano, but I wish I had some higher quality bass drum samples since I am not really experienced enough to recreate one. The drums should have been more dynamic, I agree, but I wasn't exactly trying to build up a climactic ending even though the arp and reverb kick at the end would likely tell otherwise, it's just kind of how the sounds went together I suppose.
I appreciate the review very much and will take to heart the suggestions for future reference.

[::Z:G::Step Up]

A bit too much bass in all the instruments.

I know that usually, you want a good amount for such instruments as the kick drum and a little from the bass, but the mixing on the bass is very muddy and wobbly. The clap is a bit piercing too, a little too much high frequency. If anything, the bass drum is fine, but the brass and strings need to come out more, especially at the main part of the song, which is around 0:20, and ends at about 0:43.

-Basically, just mix it better, and it's golden :)

-The overall structure of the song (riffs and stuff), is not bad at all. The beginning starts off pretty nice, the groove is fairly simple, but easy to follow because the instruments and their riffs carry the groove nicely.

-The song starts to get repetitive though. The main part is used alot, and I mean A LOT. Take advantage of that and add some dynamics, maybe just use the beat and the piano at one part, add some fills on the drums at key points to drive the song, little things like that really create a great song.

-Good :)

-ImperfectDisciple

Zajed responds:

we mixed it that nothing overpowering, so we just left it like that
if u listen to this on good speakers then the kicks are fine, it sounds good on my speakers dunno about yours,

oh and hip hop is repetitive, and we arej ust lazy to think about anything else=D

well im looking for such reviews and the next time we collab we use this review to make the song better

but on this track its just how it is

we really appreciate it
thanks for the great review

Zajed, Greeksta

[SpK*) - Distilled Panic]

Fricken sweet beats man!!!

The style reminds me of the chilled out menu music of "Crackdown" for the Xbox 360.

-This song is really tight, I enjoy it a ton. Man you've gotten a lot better than when you first started. Good job, ace work!

-ImpefectDisciple

Spikrodd responds:

Thanks for your kind words sir. lol j/k man! i havent played Crackdown, but it looked all-out killer, so ill have to take your word for it.... as for my skill... its just luck really. the drums are Funky Drummer and USSR pt. 2. Awesome with an overdrive and reverb. :P as for everything else, yeah... pure genious.

nice hearin from you again man. love to collab one day also.

[[The -Sacred Temple g-R]]

Dang man!

I remember that submission, it was t3h fricken rockz!!!

-And it still is, I just don't like that bass drum, everything else is cool though!

-ImperfectDisciple

g-r4ve responds:

ya the fruity samples =X

[O- Savannah Mist]

YAY!

Now that I've finally gotten to reviewing this song, it's pretty slick, it's hard to even tell it's done 'cause it loops on the Newgrounds thingy. Maybe make a more prominent ending?

-Nice job though :D

-ImperfectDIsciple

0con responds:

It was meant to loop for NG ;)

Thanks for the review though man =)
