sixflab's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[HorseShoe]

Too repetitive

-Not bad for a third submission since you are just getting into the groove of making audio and learning what people like and how to make things sound better.

-The overall melody played throughout nicely but started to feel a little stale towards the end since you put almost no variation throughout. About 2:05 to 2:25 was a little different from the rest of the song but you need to do more than that.

-The song didn't have enough variation to me and lowering the volume or speeding up the melody in one or two parts just isn't going to cut it in the originality department. It just doesn't become interesting enough to hold the listener throughout the entire song if it's not going to have enough variety.

-I could be wrong but it just seems like you used a generic drum sample throughout since it was just really really basic in structure. Just a simple cymbal repetition.

-Overall like I said at the beginning it's not bad for a third submission but you still need to work on the variety and dynamics in the song to make it more interesting.

[Show No Tears]

Good Job

-When it started playing I immediately thought of a combination between all of the fight scenes in Mortal Kombat and Burly Brawl from the Matrix: Reloaded. Then I said "To hell with that!" and just imagined a showdown between a modern day ninja and samuri instead :)

-Other than it only being a minute and a half i can't think of anything to bitch about with this one. I would say something about the bass line, but im listening on headphones, so Im probably wrong anyways.

-All in all, damn good job, man!

[ParagonX9 - No. 5 (NG Edit)]

Well

This was a very cool song you made here. It was very diverse, with constantly changing beats and lots of different instrumental noises in it as well. It seemed to change BPM a lot throughout and also it had ups and downs with the tone and varied a lot.

[ParagonX9 - Neutralized]

Well

The beggining is my favorite part, but it switches to what I was hoping for it to come out of it. The sound was still great and a techno song for and techno fan to enjoy. In my opinion it sort of sounds like something from Megaman, but just a little better. Now that's a big complement. You should help make audio's for gameboy advance games.

[Tarboy OST - Two's a Part]

Woo hoo

The music was just excellently done in Tarboy, and this is one of my favorite pieces. Glad to see that there is more to the music than when Tarboy snaps the robot's neck. The lyrics are quite awesome, and the overall sound of the music is awesome. Really captures the essence of the dark old 20s style bar music, you know?

[[dB] & SS-54 - Tonit3]

Well now

-Works in progress are the best ones to review because you can give feedback that is actually put into consideration or used. This is what the audio portal has tons of. Tons of songs that are in the works that the creators are obviously looking for feedback. Too bad the audio portal isn't that popular and most songs get overlooked. But you know all of this junk already. Why else would it be on the review request club page.

-0:12 to 0:23 was quite interesting and was a great way to add some variation to the melody in the introduction. Some people might not like how it messes with the flow of the melody but I think it works well. Overall it was a very catchy melody that had tons of variation to keep me interested.

-I loved the beginning as mentioned before. It came in at a fast pace and never let up. Morphing and changing to keep everything interesting. I'm assuming this is just the introduction and the cymbals were just thrown in there temporarily. I really like cymbals as a finishing instrument since they give a nice resounding clap to stop everything while still vibrating the song out.

-There was a nice stomping resounding beat that went with the melody nicely at the beginning. Top-notch for you two making that combination. I really liked how the drums came in full force at about the thirty second mark in tune with the melody to take the song up to the next level. In turn this led to a nice little drum-out.

-Overall I'd say that this is a great start but it's still only about half done in terms of length. It will need to be mastered before final production but it isn't a serious issue now as it's still a work in progress. Maybe you'll continue to increase the pace that you had going or you'll bring it down a notch and make the second half a deeper more darker toned song. Time will tell.

-Thanks to SuperSteph54 for link and structure

[War Lament]

I am the canvas...

...and you are the painter. It paints an atmosphere in my mind and makes me think.

-It's great when a song can put images in your head and make you think just a little. It gives it more depth than the actual audio. It's very serious yet warm at the same time.

-It progressed slowly in my opinion though and would of benefited from being sped up just a tad for dramatic effect.

Thank you for the review, I really appreciate it ! I am happy you think I managed to obtain such a powerfull effect.

[Etude #5 - Moonlight]

Just wow

-This was played beautifully. The notes flowed so well together and i'm still not sure as to how you were able to get the different notes to connect so well together. Anyhow this is very pleasing to the ear and I can listen to it over and over again and still like it as much as the first time.

-I'm all in favor that you slowed it down since it sounds so good at the pace that you used here. If you would of done it faster some of the notes would of overlapped a little and sounded a bit wierd.

-Overall it's one of my favorite audio portal songs that i've come across. There is so much imagery that comes up when listening to it.

Hey thanks I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for reviewing it. This is one of my favoreites, and I'm working on a longer version.

[I Hate Jologs People]

Lol

-First of all i'm not sure how you made this after attempting to make a classical song. It is a fail in that regard but what you ended up with certainly isn't. Yes it can use a little less bass here and there while playing out the drums a little more in sections instead of keeping the constant fast drum beat that you were using.

-The melody sounded very good with the beat of the drums and continued to show out more and more as the song progressed giving it a more melodic tune rather than the brash beat you had at the beginning. In my opinion it just got better and better.

Thanks so much sorry for the late reply!

[Clear (Rezurrected Mix)]

Quite Enjoyable

-The nice thumping bass in the intro was very good at drawing me into the song. The only problem with this was you just completely dropped it at :45 for a much less thump and didn't add any more dynamics to the song to replace it. This left the song rather dull for a good fourty seconds.

-The song picked back up with the pads at 1:29 but you didn't really go anywhere with it which was dissapointing. You just seemed to do a rinse and repeat method with the song.

-It would of been more enjoyable with more dynamics involved with the song. It would of became less repetitive and more interesting to listen to. It is much better than the previous version of it though so it does show improvement.

Thank you very much for the review! As I've mentioned before, I am not very good at adding in new elements, resulting in repetition. Thanks for noticing it's better than the other version!
