jnry3's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hyperstar Infinity .1]

Something's missing...

...problem is I can't quite point my finger on it. (I'm jumping genres again, but I really sense something's amiss -- aside from the ending.)

Try adding one more instrument to the mix. Maybe that's what it needs...

[DJ BLuv - Chole n Zach]

Hey! That was fun!

Great skit! ^_^ No complaints here... uh-uh... had fun! Do-dee-do...

"F*** you! -Zach" -- That was the best! ^_^

[Twisted fate!]

...almost!!!

There's no 9.5, but you have my 5 already. Awesome track! ^_^

Now to get that extra 0.5:
- Check your bass guitar. It's either too soft, or it's being owned by the guitar. In any case, it's heavy upstairs (mid-treble), but lacks that bottom-end punch. Maybe it's also in your choice in the bass guitar (sounds... hollow?). Try adding 3dB to the bass guitar, or raise the bass end of the bass guitar's EQ.

Again, this rawwwks! (Just a little more tweakin'...) ^_^

DarKsidE555 responds:

Ahhh, finally some good advice from a bassist. :D

Well, I'm still searching for a good and "heavy" bass tone but I'm getting there and I will most likely take this advice into my next project! :)

Sadly, I can't tweak anymore on this, because I deleted all the project files by accident. :(

Shit happens I guess, though I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)

[The Unfathomable Cycle of Life]

Nice.

You got my ten. ^_^

[ElectroLord99 - Silver Sun]

Have to agree with Cloudshapez

You can put this in techno, by the way.

Yes, 90% of techno is repetitive beats, but the 10% is the interesting kind of techno (at least for me). With that said, I suggest you add "fillers" or music elements that will break the repetitiveness. For instance, you can insert a phasing/panning instrument in between transitions.

Hope you learned from your test run. ^_^

[The Beast I Have Become]

Good concept, needs polishing

The melodies are interesting, but there are a lot of points that feel empty. Also, I think it would be better if you had faster transitions. It's important to keep your audience interested.

Here's a tip: try listening to that song 50 times straight. If you got bored, then something has to be fixed.

Hope this helps. ^_^

i don't get bored with music, except country music and rap, they suck

[Grey (Version 2) Remastered]

Wrong genre? Who cares!

...but yeah, this should be in either the General Rock or Pop section, but other than that, who cares?!? You have one helluva track there!

One teenie weenie complaint though... the climactic point didn't feel like a climax. That's all. You have my 5 and 10 and fav already anyway. ^_^

[Return To Forever 1st Movement]

This would be a lot more awesome de-MIDI-fied

Take this out of the MIDI sound, and this will rock really hard!

[Bluesberry Jam]

Hrmm...

The two saxes didn't work for me (or was it a violin?). It felt too... crowded... or cluttered.
