grooveT3K's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Solitude <WIP>]

Awsome

I really enjoyed your track mate!
your intro had a lot feeling to it and if this is just the wip I would like to see what the finished product is :D
One little think I would help your track would be a little work eq'n the drums.
Great work!
5/5 10/10

Diavalos responds:

Thank you very much! Yeah, the drums always give me some trouble. Though I just ordered some new software and will have much more to work with. And I can hear what you're saying, they do seem to be a bit too loud.

[[Buyj3llo] - 6(j)]

Not bad

Its not to bad mate espically for an early submission, theres some potential there!
One thing I did notice was your mastering needs a little going over to tidy up some of your mixing but overall a great effort!
Keep em coming!
4/5 8/10

buyj3llo responds:

Thankyou for the review.
I mastered this one a couple of times, but usually it sounded very abrasive and harsh, so I went a little soft on it. I'm working on it, I promise you.

[Super Cocaine]

Not bad

not bad espically for one sitting mate!
Your kick is very overpowering and the rest of your track sounds muffled and almost like it in the distance, but with a little bit of a scrub and another sitting or two and you could have quite a nice track here mate.
3/5 7/10

RayHo responds:

thanks man, i felt a little impatient, so i just put it out there. haha

["Around Town" Theme]

Nice work

Nice little track you made here, it reminds me of a couple of games mixed into one, like some DK maybe some starfox with a touch of mario :)
Nice work
4/5 8/10

jookbahxherow responds:

Thanks! Koji Kondo is one of my favorite video game composers. I get a lot of inspiration from him

[Eric Freeman - Goodbye]

Nice

I quite liked it, it built into something pretty funky with a dubstep sort of feel to the beat.
Great work.....and that goes for your mum too! :D
4/5 9/10

EricFreeman responds:

lolol thanks

[Expect the Unexpected.]

Thanks for the heads up

If I was to listen to this without the description I would think it to be some sort of a teaser of an album release or some upcoming tracks, I understand what you were trying to do but to make it more effective there needs to be more of a mesh between the sections to make it more of a whole track.
But still well done and some enjoyable parts indeed.
4/5 8/10

Hobybobag responds:

Thanks for getting the point ^^

I totally understand what you mean though, the transitions just seemed awkward no matter what i did, probably because the tempo was only 60 lol

I may redo this later and reupload it, hopefully itll be better then

[The Hunger]

Hungry for...

nice track mate, it kinda makes me hungry....hungry for disco biscuits and booze...well more booze, it has some extremely fast pace (150BPM?) to it, even the jumpstyle mofos would have a chardiac arrest trying to keep up, which isnt necessarily a bad thing ;)

Well done
4/5 8/10

Hobybobag responds:

After you mentioned it I actually had to look it up, the tempo was 248bpm, but there was only 3 beats per measure, and it was based on the quarter note hits, so the effective tempo was ~170bpm

Thanks for listening and taking the time to leave a review ^^

[Bassgasmic]

Bass'd up

nice work mate, there certainly is some bass in that one, it had my dual 10" Jensens pumping in my loungeroom like mofo's and possible my neighbours wondering wtf is going...but fuck them.

Nice work mate!
4/5 9/10

Theledge93 responds:

haha np. glad you like. how was the mid song sweep? did that work your speakers at all? it's funny i can't really hear what this sounds boomin because all i got is a 5.1 home theater sub hooked up to my pc. it's hard to make a song you can't hear. :)

[Vienna's Dark Club Mini Rave]

Peppy indeed!

Nice track mate and there certainly is a lot going on in there, the beat is very frantic and it does add energy, I would imagine this is what is going on in the head of a child with ADD, as a matter of fact I might need me some riddilin just to settle down after this lol.
Nice work mate
4/5 8/10

DJVienna8 responds:

Thanks so much for your review! :) It reminds me of someone getting hyper as well :D I just wish I could make it a bit longer, that would be fun.

[FLAW -WIP-]

Nice

I think you should keep working on this one mate, its got some potential.
as far as constructive critsism goes, maybe just making your bass a little less tinny and a little fatter and your intro is a little washed out sounding, I know you were going for that HPF effect but maybe bringing it up in a gentle curve before your track drops to even the volume and feeling out that little bit :)

Great work and finish it :D
4/5 8/10

death-is-forever responds:

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated. :)
I'm pretty new to the genre so I haven't quite mastered it yet. and I really only worked on this for a little while, not mastered too well or anything.

I'll be sure to try out your suggestions.

Thanks again. :)
