Joshsouza's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[.:Groovin' High:.]

Niiiiiiiicccceeee Dawg.

The beats and the drums were I think the best part of this song and would be very suiting for a video game, maybe a forest level. Just saying. The beats were nice and the keyboard was awesome, coming in with a whole different thing. Very unique, and all made on 2 hours. Great use of your time I would say. I think it needs more beats to it and maybe longer because some of it seemed very empty in a way.

I think the bass line at the beginning was a very great way to start it then gradually going up in instruments oh so normally. Overall, it's great and deserves more attention maybe for just a 2 minute song or beat. I say to extend it and use rhythm and beat to mix it up! Nice work.

Great comment, I like!

Happy to see you enjoy. I should probably extend it one day, seeing how much good feedback I got out of it!

Cheers,

Cool

I thought that this was an ok beat but you should have sang with the song so It made it seem less empty because some of it sounds the same. You should also make it longer with more things in it too but this is the first Newgrounds song that I had heard without a loop in a while. The beat was good but put more things in the background because it's kind of empty like it needs something. I dont know what else I can say about this but, I will give you an overall review:

The beats were good but the thing was empty, it needs more things added to it. I think that is all.

Another Awesome Song

It's been a while since I last reviewed your work and I am very impressed (again) and it would actually really fit a little pixel game or some thing like the angel islands in Sonic Advance or something but you did a really amazing job with this one. I don't exactly know how this would really inspire people because it sounds weird not to be rude or anything. I DID look at the comments on top of me though.

I think you should work on making it a little more exciting or maybe put more instruments into it but it was still amazing and it would make much difference if you did anyways so it's pretty much fine the way it is right now but this song would work great if you were just walking around and just listening to music but it makes me thing of this like, future downtown city of some sort.

Don't stop making music because you are great at it.

I am so happy to say that this song made my day from reviewing some bad music even though I found another good one but the intro on this was amazing and I really loved it and this would go in a war movie for sure then a drum came in? That was unexpected but it was really cool and a nice effect but the horns kind of sounded the same in the beginning and that was the only bad part I found then a techno sound came in? This is the second time I have heard a mixed genre today!

Well It was kind of too short too but don't get me wrong this is still an amazing song that you made and I am sure you put lots of effort and time into it because the horns were really good and the drums but I was surprised by the lack of instruments in this because there was only three I think. Overall I really loved this and gave it an instant 5 for it and favorite so please do more like this!

I did put a lot of effort into it but it was fun :D Like I said before, I am trying to extend it when I have the time.

I thought the whole song was brilliant and a mix of three genres in it which was really original and how this had to do with your day but it kind of got repetitive in it and it was mostly loops so fix that but the guitars were really good and there was a really good use of those and the other sounds that you included in the whole process but there was a really good beats in it too. I really think you spent some time and effort in this because of the guitar mostly because it sounds like that was hard. Overall I loved this piece and I favorited it to show my appreciation and keep up the good work!

OH35 responds:

Yea it was hard to make this piece but you know, making music is never easy!

Thank you for your support!

This was a pretty cool song but kind of the same in the first parts which gets repetitive so try and fix that and the transition WAS too abrupt at the :15 but I mind of knew it was gonna transition soon because of the breath or something but there was a nice middle part to this which really saved it and I thought that was the end of the song but that's a pretty cool way of doing it because I really thought it was over.

I thought there was a nice title to the song and it totally fit and then again it got really abrupt again after the soft noise near the end where the action started again but it is like getting out from under the water and hearing a extremely loud band playing but I guess that was a cool effect. Overall I think it is too repetitive in some places and it was a pretty cool beat to it but be sure to fix everything else I included in the review.

[TwilightREM]

Review Request Club

Haha the intro was very nice and pretty slow but try to speed that up a little and then the main part comes in after but I think this would work good for some weird 8-bit game but I might use it when I make the dot 2 and need a music but first I gotta get flash but it was really just loops until the middle part so try to slow down that part before the middle and you got it pretty good.

I still don't know why it is called TwilightREM because that doesn't make much sense but there was a cool part after the middle and I think you should use more instruments then just altering them then the original techno sound comes in which is kind of original? Oh well I really like this so keep it up.
Overall I think you should work on making it a bit shorter because it gets repetitive but just keep working on these!

KeptItHairy responds:

Your review is a bit hard to understand (could use a bit more periods), but from what I understand I agree that it does begin to be repetitive and could be made shorter. As for my title, I was hoping that the connotations of "twilight" (no relation to vampires) and REM (Rapid Eye Movement) would describe the sort of atmosphere I tried to build in this song. My taste is also a bit minimalist, partly because I don't want to overwhelm myself as a starter. All that being said, I don't know how it comes to be a 9, but thanks for the helpful review :)

The start was pretty dark and then got more detailed which I like about this song and I think you have put a lot of effort into this and had a weird evil feeling throughout the song and then the other sounds came in like this was an epic battle which was really cool and pretty techno and awkward to me but really good and had a really nice feel to it.

I really like the details in it and made the whole thing sound really futuristic and cool and even robotic too but kind of repetitive really so try and fix that but don't get me wrong I really enjoyed this a lot but weird parts in it like the middle part where everything changes so great job on that. Overall it is a fantastic song and I think you should make more like this but kind of got repetitive in some places so be sure to fix that. :)

julius33 responds:

Wow i actually never expected such good feedback :P
And about the repetition, sure you can make a 2 or 3 minute track w/o any repetition but then it isnt good to listen to it because it ends too quick, so i think, especially in DnB, its necessary to have atleast some repetition because too fast evolving will make you run out of material, thus decreasing the quality of the song. Well thats my theory anyway xD
Thx for the review :)

I thought the start was pretty fast and the song itself was really fast and gave you an adrenaline rush but not exactly just drum and bass but I get the idea and the voice was cool too but didn't make any sense but a really cool effect and there were lots of cool effects in the whole thing and it was so loud that I couldn't hear my keyboard typing at all! There was also a cool voice in the end.

I thought there were lots of sounds and effects but I think you should have a better name then drum and bass because it wasn't exactly drum and bass in the whole thing so work on the name unless the first version didn't have much details in it. Overall this is a fast little song and I enjoyed it so work on it som more until you get it right!

[Dwelling at the Ocean's Bottom]

Hey man really nice music you got here with a nice and slow intro but I am sorry but it didn't really give me an ocean feel under the water that much but the instruments were played but it seems that you focus on music that try to make you visualize where the music is from but I kind of had the effect of it but it was pretty nice and that ISN'T the most important part of the song.

It seems like there needed to be more things in it because it was pretty short to me but that wouldn't be a problem really and seems quiet and lonely with no life but I guess that IS realistic since there pretty much is nothing at the ocean floor but it would be nice to add to that a little but overall it was a good piece but needed more to it but everything else is fine I guess.

Jabicho responds:

Hey there! thanks for checking this out, yeah, maybe this piece just catches a little of all the things it could express about the title, hehe, I think I'll work on different states of the ocean that I'm sure could use a different perspective than this one. Thanks for the review!
