sixflab's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

ReziUze responds:

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!

[Too Awesome For Your Phone!]

Phone

-I'm going to guess this was made for the sole purpose of ringtone use. It's a rock song with nice riffs but you can't elaborate it too much as speakers on phones really suck. Really good songs sound aweful on my phone just for this fact and I really hate it.

-Rich sound textures really make this enjoyable to listen to even if the bass is drubbed down a bit. I think you can do a lot with this concept if you decide to make a full blown song out of it.

SantaBro responds:

Thanks! I guess I could elaborate on the riffs and melodies, but not the general sound.

[Snow Burner]

Well

-It comes in a little slow and takes a bit to get into the actual melody. The melody however was quite joyful and precise. Eight-bit just has that jumpy precise sound to it that is hard to not like.

-The drawn out notes mixed with the quick parts gave it a nice ebb and flow overall. It does show the skiing aspects.

Shellac responds:

I'm still on this gigantic learning curve with my production at the mo... This track sounds awful to me now listening back to it! I guess that means I'm making progress.

I tried to get a melody in there fairly quickly. I've got an 8 bar build there, it sounded weird with less but maybe I should have just started with the melody straight out given the overall length of the track.

Thanks for the review!

[Just Hold On (Dream Remix)]

Ummm

-Either there was some uploading problem or this was mixed awfully. It's distorted the whole way through. I really doubt that was on purpose since it makes it sound so bad. Also what was up with chopping the ending off? There isn't a solid ending to the song. It just abruptly ends and leaves me guessing.

I can't tell if it needs work for the most part though since there is an audio problem as stated before. It's off alignment or has some awful distortion.

[[S:C] Mr. Funkhausen]

Good Job

-Quite an interesting collaborational work. The drum work is excellent in it's own regards and were mixed well even though they are a bit light. Come to think of it the instruments as a whole are very light. I'm guessing lyrical work was planned for this but still needs to be added.

-The only issue I had was with how much use of the cymbals there was. It's probably the pace setter you used but it drones on towards the end. Also the thirty blank seconds at the end. You can trim that stuff off.

SymbolCymbal responds:

Well right now newgrounds own BIGRED (Tingtonger) is composing the lyrics to this piece .. once i get the lyrical audio in there this is going to get revamped a bit. ill definitely take your cymbal comment into consideration while redoing some stuff. This song will actually be available on the haiti relief album coming out soon. If not the haiti relief album it will be on some sort of charity album.

Thanks for the sweet review man

[DiscoSex(WiP)]

Lol

-Those vocals are crisp, clean, and quite interesting. Especially the moan towards the end. It definitely needs some snare to give more dimension. It's very repetitive in the instrumental aspects of the song. This could only benefit from being extended and adding some more vocals.

DavidRx responds:

thx for the review ;D...sry for the HUUUUGE DELAY XD

sadly...lost this flp. too ;S so i cant continue it D;

[Sweet Release]

Well

-It comes in way too slow as it takes thirty seconds for the main melody to actually kick into full gear. The piano is very static and stays with the same beat for most of the first two minutes. This makes the song feel very dull and uninventive. Also if at all possible make it multi-layered with either different octaves or complimenting rythms to add effect to the trance.

-Overall it's just way too slow and repetitive for me. If you want to really get into trance songs I would suggest making them a little less in length and speed it up a lot.

-Review Request Club

Dj-GST responds:

Slow fade in was for slow buildup, I like it.

K...

Trance songs are long and slow progressing, I know that much, so making it shorter would be dumb.

Trance isn't supposed to be fast man. When you listen to it it's suppoesed to feel like your in a trance, hence the genre.

If you want fast go listen to some Speedcore or something.

[Man in the Planet]

Great work

:00-:38 -Nice calm space intro that was cool and made me want to listen more. The pause gives it a nice break effect to bring you into the song too.

:40-1:20 -I loved the slow paced shuffle/static that you used to build momentum.

1:21-2:03 -I didn't however like how long it actually took to get into the actual instrumentation. Try shortening the overall intro time to bring the key aspect of the melody into the song sooner.

2:04-2:45 -Replaying the melody without any variation makes the song drag on even more. It's unneeded and could of been done without. Would of also helped with the bit-rate that is painfully low.

2:46-2:55 -Interesting robotic part of the song. I know it's used throughout but being played without the melody makes it sound more prominent and bold. I'd like to see something like this in the future.

3:44-5:07 -Very interesting move with the song but it works nicely with the whole theme of the song.

5:08-6:39 -Once again you could of done one theme playthrough and it would of sounded just as good but helped progress the song faster.

6:40-7:02 -The robotic feel is brought out again

-Sorry if I was a bit too nit-picky but I liked how you gave an overall outline that helped me break the song apart and review sections.

-I loved the song overall and like I said it could of been shortened just a little bit to progress the song faster and allow for a higher quality upload.

Cornilious responds:

Man, I love me my intros...
Anyway I want to keep the beginning the same, but maybe I'll change the partial instrumentation section in the intro to half of the full progression. I'll see how it sounds.

You're right about the repeats: repetition without variation is boring and I regret that now looking back. I'll be sure to replace the current file with a shorter, higher quality upload with some added variation (maybe the lead synth changing its melody to a solo or fancy arpeggiation).

Ugh, the bitrate was painful for me to upload. Would have loved to do something higher than the nasty 128kbps. But, if someone really cared enough for it I could send them higher quality files. So, not as big of a deal as it is a pain in the ass I guess.

Nit picky? Hell, I like it when people pick apart my songs. It gives me something specific to work on! I think from now on I'll be giving an outline, especially if it's a longer song. Thanks for the review!

[Beyond Compulsion (Prev)]

Nice

-I really liked the fast paced first twelve seconds that jumped at you and faded out with a "Pop". This really allowed for the piano to build with an ebb and flow. Meshing brilliantly with the soft, gentle melody.

-You gave this a nice build which seems pre-planned. Everything worked well except for the nasty sounding snare you put in at the end. It does nothing for the melody or the build-up. It's so conflicting with everything else that you did which makes me question why you decided to put it in.

-I would like to see more bass and less treble with additional harmonies to continue making things flow nicely. I really liked what you had at about the minute mark. Bring elements similar to this is what i'm trying to convey.

mmmburgers responds:

Thanks for the review. I've changed much of the build up to the climax of the song. It sounds a little different from what it does now in this preview. But it's still a WIP, and the feedback is great. Thanks!
