ganon95's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Secret Dwarf Cavern]

hm...

its far from a rave song.

i do like the beat but i think it could use some bass and orchestrals

eguitarm responds:

Yeah my main genre of choice is usually metal so i'm not to keen on those subgenre's-especially when it comes to techno. Interesting idea though I will definitely consider it man.

[{Dj Simmy} Malfunction]

volume

you got too much volume on pretty much everything, this piece does not sound good to me at all. the sound effects you have, especially at the beginning are annoying and loud. it doesn't even sound like techno it sounds like really loud DNB.

you wanna add less volume if you decide to keep the sound effects. im sorry but i just couldn't come to like this

Simmy53 responds:

Yeah, I agree the volume is a bit too loud. But I don't understand how the sound effects are annoying. It is part of the beat. :(

[Airship Mk II]

hm...

pretty good orchestral you got here, this really sounds like a video game soundtrack or a movie battle scene soundtrack. i can definitely see how your title fits in with the feeling of the song

D3vilsheep responds:

Thanks. ^_^

[Countdown [InfernoZN]]

hm...

not bad for an hour and a half, i wouldn't say its TOO repetitive, though you might wanna consider buying FL so you don't need to finish up the song in a rush

Free2Play responds:

Agreed, lol just don't have the money right now. I'm saving though.

Also did you give me a 0? lol

If you didn't voting always helps lol

I put lol way to much

[Settle]

interesting

one thing though, if your gonna have lyrics in a song that isn't heavy metal (cuz honestly i can barely understand what they are saying in most heavy metal) then you need to make sure they are understandable.

i can see you have the lyrics written down but if i didn't have that i wouldn't know what you were saying, you should turn up the vocals, besides that the guitar does have a nice bit of reverb to it and thats nice to hear :) i don't usually hear this much reverb onn a guitar...at least i haven't...

starcecil responds:

Thank you so much for reviewing it! I'm personally really into chill, relaxing, unintelligible vocals like Washed Out It's really just a matter of taste, But I suppose making them clearer would probably help XD

Any thanks a lot for the review and vote!

[Glitch - Bad With Words]

alright so...

im not a huge fan of hip-hop so this is not what i usually listen to.

let me break down a few things

1- the beginning definatly gets things going way different then i expected, it sounds like an 8-bit synth with a phaser. thats actually pretty cool, considering its hip-hop you don't hear sounds like that often

2 - at 0:30 that bassline sound you have with the phaser could use a little work, its not bad but it sounds like it clips a little bit so you might wanna try to EQ it a bit or work with changing the instrument itself.

3 - your drums were the most unexpected thing about this piece, it has a techno drum style, but a hip-hop feeling. interesting!

4 - it seems to cut out too soon, once you get the drums going it plays for a short time then fades out, you might wanna lengthen it from that part on, you basically have half a song with no drums then half with drums, might wanna make it 1/3 no drums 2/3 with drums.

i will have to be honest and say its not entierly 10 material, the music is good but the instrument quality is a little less then what it could be. ill give you a 9 :)

glitchs2d responds:

I wish I could say the beat was mine and I Im willing to change it but sadly its not its just something I found lying around (I dont even know the name of the original song) and wanted to rap to because of the techno feel and most rap songs dont have a real techno feel.But I loved the drums which made me want to rap to it in the first place.

[{Dj K} NYAN CAT -loop-]

nice :P

ii like how you kept some of the other bits i added in there to make it not just the original strait up

DjKirb responds:

I did it like this, just for the loop. ;D

[~|| Infernal Signs]

nice!

i like the scratching, don't hear alot of that on newgrounds.

i also like the bell sounds, pretty sweet!

9/10

5/5

T-Free responds:

Thank you! :D

[_/Sandstorm\_ [Remix]]

excellent!

a couple things i would like to point out though.

you seem to build up alot to the same melody, might wanna bring in the other melodies a little sooner.

at first i didn't hear the similarity to sandstorm but once you brang in the, conviniently named, sandstorm z3ta+ instrument i definatly heard the similarity.

i really like the way it sounds at 0:59, the bass is pretty sweet right there.

might wanna add more pads and some stronger bass kicks

-g

ShootingStar responds:

Hmm, good idea. I'll keep that in mind :) And yes that was kind of what I was trying to do.
I could add some more complexity, but I feel like it was full enough as is.
Thanks for the comment!

[Kirby Gourmet Race (GaMetal)]

horrible mastering job

you have a decent song on your hands here, while the cracking is not as big of an issue for me there is something else that was, your mastering.

throughout this whole thing the drums were way overpowered compared to the rest and overall it was just plain loud. you have far too much bass.

TheJonnyDeath responds:

This song was never mastered, and if you'd of read the commentary you'd know that I am well aware of those issues and have been for about.. oh 2 years.

Thanks for listening! :)
