Squll2's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cuwanin]

Unique

Well you can definatly tell a Jimpy song when you hear one :P
And wow! This must have taken a long to render =O

I don't have my headphones on right now but i'll just go ahead with whatever I think.

The beat is cool, but in my opinion it needs more ripping! screw newgrounds flavourrrrr make it changeee :P

Awesome panning, as usual for your song ^^ I can hear it even on my crappy speakers =O

I really love the intro =O that bassey sound and the synth just sound really nice together

The vocading in my opinion is a bit weird but hey mabye this just personal taste.

I love that reverse snare? I think it is was used in the beat at the start of the song :P

Hats & Rides (if there were any rides?) were pretty cool I liked how they sounded very, very cool in my opinion.

Panning at about 3:32 was brilliant! and the little break/drop part a little bit furthur down the track was awesome!

-Once again Jimpy you have outweirded me :P it's definatly original though, and you can see the work youve put into this, resulting in a 5/5 10/10 from me!

InvisibleObserver responds:

Technically their "Invisible Observer" songs, but I agree they do stand out.

I didn't want to wrench the beat too much with this one because it started to make the song sounds really misaligned which sounded awful.

Panning is pertyful.

Lot of reversed sounds, many duplicates of everything for the purpose of playing them backwards, including the drums / snare.

There were hat and rides mixed in with some weird samples like broken glass clicking together and little jingly bells, which primarily made up the not kick-snare bass rhythm.

Glad you enjoyed it.

[..:.:{<Eternity>}:.:..]

Cool!

Imperssive man, nice layering ^^, The melodies and sounds were awesome, I specially like the bass sound it was really nice ^^

However this piece did get on my nerves a bit, for some reason it just sounded too happy and it got a bit repetitive (I don't know mabye thats personal taste but it just didn't sound right at some parts for some reason)

Anyway it was a nicly done job, mabye work on making some of those synths sound a bit more professional, they did sound pretty good though (lots and lots of eqing and reverb for professional sounds if you didn't know :P)

Don't be afraid to experiment! If u find a good sound, save it but play with it more and you might get something even more impressive!

Keep it up man!

Snikaz responds:

Thanks, but I make my synths using the FL Studio 7 demo so I cant save projects which makes it really hard to play around with sounds.

[PULSE in progress (JVR)]

Woah

Ok, if your using Fruity Loopz, Try compressing and Limitizing the sounds their a bit overpowering, add a soft threshold and it would be better to listen too ^^

Thats first off

Second off, is that slayer? beacuse if it is thats a really nasty guitar sound, I Advise finding another VST or something to replace it with as there are a few around that heavily dislike that sound.

Other then that the riff's are pretty cool so far, I like it (=

Keep it up, try what I said to do!

3/5 7/10

JAnonymityVR responds:

Thank you for the advice! I messed with one of the guitars to make the sound like that. I'm a Nine-Inch Nails fan, so I love the broken sound. Um, never listened to slayer to be honest. I usually just run with something that sounds good to my ear. Unfortunately, I had the demo when I sent this and I can't edit it at all. Possibly a different one will be put up with similar theme(s).

[~:Fathom:~]

Sounds like a Beginner (=

I'm guessing your new to this stuff, I can tell by the heavy use of presets ^^ Thats what I used to do when I was a begginner.

Well first off, the melody is good, but it doesnt sound good without a good sound, and unfortunatly in my mind, these sounds are terrible, I along with many of the members here dislike The Slayer and I advise you find a good substitute ^^

Good for a first piece of work though! Try mucking around with the "Parametric EQ" or something Effect to change those rough presets into something that sounds professional and awesome!

Keep it up!

Slayerrptl responds:

Slayer just has relivence to my highscores in god knows howmany online games. I dont get out much, Thanks for the honesty. But i had little plans of 100% composition in my music untill i have 600$ to piss on licenses and other editor programs. For the most part, im just making things so i remeber what to do later.

[Crimson Sun (When the sun sets]

Groovy

Again, like your other song, it had awesome aspects, and annoying aspects.

First off the things I didn't like or find annoying.

-I Found the very high synth that drifted in and out in the first minute or so incredibly annoying.

-The synth at like 1:25 needs to be louder, to add more effect.

-The synth that comes in briefly at 1:45 has some weird notes.

-The Weeh synth that comes in at 2:10ish is quite irrating, mabye an octave lower would be better.

Things I liked

-The trance synth in the background was awesome.

-The hihat sounded pretty cool throughout the songs.

-The low frequency synths were really cool.

Things to Work on in the future

I noticed in your other song, you used a snare roll at the intro of your song as well, also try a kick roll sometimes they sound really good (as in like 1 note per bar, then 2 notes, then 4, then 8, then 16) is a really good kick build up sometimes.

~Hope to see some more of your groovy work in the future!

4/5 8/10

PS: What did you use to get that voice?

djwizzkid responds:

Dance eJay

Do ypu have msn so i can contant y0u?

[Trancebass_DJW]

Cool

Pretty cool man, my only problem is that it does get a bit repetitive, as most of this music does, but I see that you have tried to lessen the repetiveness.

The intro build-up wasn't really spectaculer so that could be changed to be better.

For something made in 30 minutes, however, this is pretty cool and not bad at all so I hope to see more of your stuff in the future!

4/5 8/10

djwizzkid responds:

hey thanks man

u will c more from me

Can u also check out my other 1 called Crimson Sun please?
...And review it.................

[DJ Stufo - Drop The Bass]

Cool-ish

Well first off, the synth sounds are pretty mint, and some of the effects uve used are really nice.

The voice that comes in and says stuff is pretty random and kind annoys me a bit.

it does get really repetitive, but its not tooo bad in that category.

Overall it was a pretty decent song but mabye needed more build up or another synth to finish it off.

4/5 8/10 (I accidently voted without logging on, so ill vote tommrow, give you a bit of a boost)

~Happy Music Making -Squll

DJStufo responds:

Thank you very much and i will see what i can do about another synth :)

[<DjT> EoY]

Incredible!

The Intro was specticular on Yelltek's part, and the transition to your awesome trance was just amazing! This was a really great song, you have a wonderful note on this one DJT. Hope to see more stuff like this!

10/10 , 5/5 (My second 5/5)

PS: What program did you use to make this music? Just out of curiosity

~Happy Music Making -Squll

DjTrancite responds:

Thanks.

[Piano 68 - The Realisation]

Totally Right

Yes, it really gave the feeling of realisation as you put it. I don't know how you did that but that was awesome man, really cool, love to hear stuff like this, can never figure out how to do it!

My only problem is when those high treble notes came in, they sounded a bit off to me.

Keep up the good work! This was really cool man, hope to see some more of your stuff!

-Happy Music Making ~Squll

4/5 9/10

NegativeNine responds:

Hey! Thanks for the review :)

Yeah I really felt the same with the high notes but the alternative was to have a drum beat to spice up the song, I'd done enough of that with my other songs :P (and also it killed the "realisation" mood)

Anyhow, I need to get the full version of some kind of music program because the demo version of Fruity Loops only allows exporting and not saving. In other words this is the final copy of the song because the notes are extremely complex for me and I hardly remember them.

But yeah, thanks again! Really appriciated :)
