alertG's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Drumming-Easy]

pretty cool

obviously could use a better mic to really capture the drums and not its echo, but. also, the pause could have been cut out using as simple as free software.

I think that at one part with the crashes i thought was a little much, but meh.

Also, unless it was intentional, you may want to watch your tempo as it speeds up at one point(considerably).

not bad.

drecksau responds:

Thats's my mistake with the pause :D

Sorry...

But Thx for the great Review!

[Dee and Bee]

good!

its not bad. for one i would lower the volume of that fx at 1:15. JESUS. xD

the percussion isnt bad. depending on the song it could be sharper or less. For this, i would suggest a little sharper. its good in the intro, but then it mellows out a little(which isnt bad), but i would go back to the sharper beat a little sooner. maybe.

but i think what it really needs is to open up the rough synth like at 2:03 and keep that for a bit. but it depends on what you want. This is more ambient and that being said this is really good! besides the fx that are too loud ;)

i was hoping for a climax

this would be an amazing song and instant download for me, but i was hoping for a climax where the filter on the sample went away and opened in full volume with bass and everything! but it didnt happen so :/

it is still pretty good. but for the lyrics and the song, it opens up, this doesnt. thats why i was dissapointed. good job though.

Ah. Mkay.

[-The Facility- (Demo)]

awesome

i like this. the intro is great. really good build. the instruments used flowed well as well.

for improvement, i think crazy is good, but after 0:45 some parts have too much loud synth, especially because it pans a lot. i would be careful not to make it too overpowering. but other than that, everything sounds really really good.

good work

SteakJohnson responds:

thanks! lol im surprised this song came back!

[Paroxym- New ish]

i love the melody

this shit ive just heard from the dnb list in the AP is cash. Im loving this 'calm but chaotic' style. Very nice calm but powerful melody. sharp beat. very nice. very emotional peice. love it.

could use a little bit more organization with the percussion in places i think. specially around 1:20 IMO. otherwise the beat is somewhat repetative. but still not bad. and awesome melody. 10/10 for the ideas. great work

[ballad (perception mix)]

nice :o

new age jazz xD

I like it. Upbeat but still has that calm melody to it. beautiful. :)

I think it has a really long intro/outro, but its very nice still. its good.

[The Faded [arctic dnb]]

newgrounds

they like a nice intro. i think maybe the sound of the instrument could have been improved a little. and remember, the majority feels that dnb is too offensive for them, and would rather listen to their cliche trance-dance tracks.

this is okay. i just think its kinda slow. i liked some of your previous works more... But on this one i like the intro until 0:44. at that point i think the build should stop and become the main part. or if necessary at around 1:06. needs faster drums, with a harmony pad or gated pad/synth. thats my opinion on it.

but it still would be good for ambient music, but since it is dynamic its not as good for looping. still pretty good though. definately keep up the good work.

SteakJohnson responds:

yea... newgrounds and their intro needs. I agree with your point cept for that i kinda like the slowness. kinda like a breather for me lol.

heh, on my list of songs to finish this can be llike #8

[[TMM43] Three Rivers]

this track is cash

i love this track. xKore is a brilliant artist. This collab turned out really good. The melodies are amazing, the synths used work together perfectly.

its a nearly perfect track! the only complaint i really have is how the melody starts to 'slow down' a little early. it builds again but isnt as epic as before. maybe a nice beat in the ending would justify this, and make it seem like it lasts longer.

[.The Infection. (DnB)]

pretty slow

this one is interesting because its pretty slow. i think the begining is a little hard to follow cause its all over. but its not too bad of a song. not sure if its too slow or not. good job none the less.

SteakJohnson responds:

Ive got it picking up to 170 halfway in the final vers but thanks

[Waterfall Dnb]

man

your stuff is underrated. its sad.

this isnt that bad. i think this one doesnt have as good of a melody. i really like the intro. hmmmm. i think its because the longer notes of the synth that come in. maybe a little shorter and choppy. i say this because your beat is hard and upbeat, and the notes seem long and downbeat.

but otherwise, the drums are pretty good as usual. the arpeggio is awesome. just keep up the music! its a good start. sometimes i just toss the melody and make a complete new one. but whatever works

SteakJohnson responds:

lol tell me about it, I had the drums too loud on this tho the first hit is like completely clipping. I definitely intend on keepin up the music, and you too man upload some more stuff.
