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!

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!

[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

[.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.

[Living On Video(DanceLoop]

uhhh

doesnt feel mastered at all :/ the melody is kinda plain and overused.

not bad, but i dont feel it stands out as much either ;)

kirja100 responds:

This is remix = not my melody!
the original song was repetitive and boring, therefore I have decided to make a remix...
but mastering.... it because i have made this music without sound in my PC, my soundcard brokes((

[Rig - 3 hour DnB]

i liked the intro

however, i think the rough synth was a little misplaced with its melody imo. That might be what you were working on for so long lol, but yeah i liked the intro a lot. But the rest of it i just couldnt bring myself to like. Either that instrument or the drums seem out of place to me, depending on what you figure is right lol. especially nearing the ending of this one.

good work, but i think it needs some modification, especially after 0:38.

Rig responds:

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'll fix it later :P

[[T] Listen To Your Heart]

good

lyrics are really good. who are they by?

This song doesn't open up like trance usually does. It doesnt have as much progression unfortunately. Also, i dont like the drum samples as much.

But it is a very good start and has potential with some work! good job so far

tomashcu responds:

:D!!!!!!!! thanks yeah th acapella is by DHT i THINK

im not sure, and no it does not have very much progressian at all hahah

[Winter Solstice (wip)]

amazing start!

it is just so good. starts slow, then builds to light beat, then heavier w/ bass, then heavier melody. Especially the gated synth which sounds amazing here(and especially near the end).

makes me want to hear the rest, then download it to my ipod and play it in my car.

SteakJohnson responds:

hay thank a you! now I will attempt to remaster this...
