jnry3's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Piano Cascade]

This would be awesome with a full ensemble!

Even if it's MIDI-ish, it's a phenomenal piece! If you used better MIDI, it'll blow my socks away.

Incredible is the word to describe this. Great work! 5 and 10!

[Did You]

Not half-bad for a 14-year old

But you guys still have a long way to go. Keep practicing, and hope to hear more from you guys. :)

Oh, I find the "dead" part in the intro (0:19-0:28) too long. I suggest cutting it in half to keep the excitement up.

Owkey Tank's for the review =D On 27/10 we will do a concert and we will record it =P So more of my band online soon!!

[Love Thing]

Lovely

Love to hear this track after a burned-out day at work. Sounds perfect. Awesome cover. :)

Metalcan responds:

Cool, glad you like it!

[Teenage]

Ouch

I'm not sure what you're trying to pull off, but the shouting hurt my ears. No offense. You need to reduce the volume of the shouting, either by reducing the volume of the shouting track or by applying compression.

Hope this helps.

Frostvind666 responds:

Ok....I´ll try to do it in a couple of days....

[If Nothing Mattered]

Yup, I agree with it being credits music

And some thoughts from the top of my head:
- Great job with the detail that went into this song. I like the way it progressed as well.
- Good job mastering the instruments as well.
- The drum-ish sound (dunno what instrument that is... like a hollow steel drum of sorts...) is, methinks, overused. It got a bit annoying... maybe it'll be better if it only occurred 25% or 50% of the time. Just my opinion.

Overall, a nice piece to listen to here in NG. :)

ErikMcClure responds:

Hmmm, i suppose i did overuse the wood block a *tad*, i'll have to watch that next time :)

[People Die - Human Recycling]

Good, but raw

The awesome:
- Again, lots of energy.
- Creative lyrics.
- Unorthodox ending. I like.

The tweakies:
- EQ prob again? Sounds thin.
- Methinks the vocals have to be tuned down by 2-3dB (if you still have the vocal tracks).

The verdict:
- Good punk track, though it sounds raw. 5 and 9.

[People Die - Punk Voter]

Now this is punk!

The awesome:
- Tons of energy! It makes you want to look for a politician and beat 'em up real good. A definite adrenalin-pumper.
- The lyrics are aggressive; suits the track really well.
- Yup, the vocalist can yell.
- Instruments are fast, and loud, and good, and awesome!

The tweakies:
- The overall sound is thin. I think it needs a bass tweak at the EQ.

The verdict:
- Awesome. You got my respect. 5, 10 (could've been 9.5, but, heck with the audio quality...), and fav'd!

SwashieB responds:

Ultimate thanks! Remember to keep checking on us... new stuff coming soon!

PEOPLE DIE!

[03E00008]

Calming and relaxing

I liked this loop. Neatly made, and, as previously mentioned by the many others that had reviewed this song, the looping is seamless (or really, really almost unnoticeable).

The phased instrument is out-of-the-blue (mark of originality?), but I have to admit that IMO it felt out of place. It sort of gave me an off-feel to the overall track. If I were the one doing this track, I'd slow down the phaser. (Side note: I have an inclination for pop.)

Overall, it's a loop that's almost perfect for playing repetitively for a long time. You get 5 and 9. Good job! ^_^

Suspended-3rd-Chord responds:

I'll have to reload this and try it with a slower phased riff...or maybe use both and make a full track....anyways thanks for the suggestion, nice comments, and good numbers! appreciate it.

[Smooth Lovin']

Oh yeah!

Excellently-made. You don't deserve a four. Five, ten, fav'd. ;)

[Helix - No. 6]

Really good; something's missing...

Excellent track, but something's missing... can't put my finger on it. This doesn't need vocals or lyrics, though... maybe I'm looking for that X-factor... again, it's good, but............. I don't know, hehe. Good job!
