alertG's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Swang]

Not often do I find a great dubstep song combined with classical(strings) AND retro videogame style mixed in, especially from newgrounds!

barely anything to critique here. amazing job

aaronmusslewhite responds:

lol I have ADD i suppose haha and a lot of influences. Glad you enjoyed it :D

[Floating Space]

Great spacy and then relaxing track. good work

Joinken responds:

Thanks man!

[Highover]

has a retro style to it mixed in with dnb. interesting.

djhoohaa responds:

lol, yea something like that. Thanks for the listen xD

[Detious - S.I.Y.R (Remix)]

To be completely honest, this is sounds awful.... EXCEPT for the part from 1:42-2:09 (minus the too bass-y wobble). HOLY SHIT that part is awesome. D: D: D: And nice intro and outro.

The rest of it honestly sounds like shit lol!

I strongly recommend you redo this song keeping that in mind along with other's advice.

DetiousMusic responds:

Haha thanks.
Well no one has been giving reliable feedback.
If someone would take the time and tell me what's wrong I could, instead of people saying it sounds like shit. you say my bass is too wobbly, but what else don't you like?
the only way I can improve is if I got some pointers on what to change and what to keep.

[Overdrive]

Has an obvious Skrillex influence on this song. But props to you because it doesnt sound as annoying as skrillex's songs. Though i think this song has too much variance because it actually starts to get boring lol. The guitar is awesome though.

I'd say work on structure a little, and the percussion wasn't that great for most parts. More on the dubstep percussion than the "rock" percussion. The hats seemed pretty random. Song is decent overall. :D

aaronmusslewhite responds:

lol ya know, I swear I'm actually not too into skrillex. I think the aggressive sound comes more from my listening to knife party, kill the noise, bare noize (which I think the more "rock" drums also comes from in particular) But glad it wasn't skrillex-y enough to drive you away haha. Also, it's interesting to me that too much variance is boring to you lol. For me the more different stuff going on the less boring it is. That's just an interesting take on it. Also the hats have a pretty definite 4 bar pattern, I wonder if maybe all the elements arent as clear as they could be, it is an unmastered track. Anyway thanks for listening I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I'll be sure to try implementing your suggestions :D

[Ocean's Dark]

very cool. I think its a little bit quiet, but still sounds very fluid-y. Nice flow to it.

Revise responds:

Thanks, it might be EQ'd a little low and the wobble bass isn't very wobbly due to a bad technique I don't use anymore.

Thanks for the review.

[~NK~ VS TI:. "Amity"]

this is badass guys. great work and perfect for raging!

The intro is good because it quickly grabs your attention, then goes into a 'post-intro', if you will. Works out quite well :D

TIMarbury responds:

thanks dude, coming from you this is quite nice. thanks for the review.

[Everyday I'm Shufflin' (L]

good lord

I HATE that line. It is annoying as fuck :( Decent song, but that part of the song seems full of faggotry :( imo.

as for the song, you didnt put a reason why you uploaded it, so im a little confused...

Jebbal responds:

It's a joke. Laugh a little and enjoy your day :)

Thanks for the review!

[My weekend Project, Dub]

better

better than the other ones that are higher rated. This one actually has decent structure, wobbles or bass that is able to be heard, and a cool melody. You should keep the chimes, just EQ them dude.

Also, this sounds like an intro, which is why it is good. BUT this has to lead into something much more bassy and exciting, or else it wont be a good dubstep song. ;)

deendeon1000 responds:

haha thanks:3

[Contusion (Sonik Original]

nice

minimal but nice.

The bass actually reminded me of porter robinson :o

DreamEater responds:

Woah PR!? Thanks so much dude!
I'm really glad you enjoyed this this track, and thanks so much for the review!
