Breed's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[LY] 24H comp. entry]

. . .

I enjoyed yours the most but my hearts beats DnB.

hehe, thanks for the review man. :)

[NG Game loop (1)]

. . .

Not a fan of normal harmony? There's only 2 notes basically in the song and they don't match up very well. Try taking the second synth introduced in the song and moving it down 2 semi tones or so and that should work. Other then that I'm guessing you were going for a minimalistic feeling. What kind of game is going to be for?

Mans0n responds:

that one game where you hit a little ball and make bricks disappear and keep the ball up with a little block.
iunno lol

[`_`Urked`_` (WIP)]

. . .

Ya you totally got zero bombed. Bummer dude. Someone went through all my songs and did it just the other day too.

As for the song, well sorry I am going to be all over the place. It's a bit quiet but it's a WIP so I imagine you haven't mastered it yet. The sidechained sound that comes in at 1:32 seems off to me melody wise. The effect just before it drops back into the song at 42 seconds seems incomplete. I feel like the sound should go a little more extreme into whatever effect you were using before dropping back in the main beat and every. I like the melody progression a lot. I think the hats that come in at 56 seconds are a little to loud as well. Anyways those are the random things i noticed. It's still a solid tune as always mate. Cheers!

Thanks for the review bro.

[{Electro Groove}]

. . .

I thought that kick in the beginning was a bit too low pitched and sounded like it was a little bit too stretched. The simplistic form didn't seem to fit as well with this genre as with your house songs. It definitely feels light. Anyways cheers on an interesting song.

Well I like the use of layering but you should definitely invest in some human capital in the form of EQ & compression knowledge as your mix was really muddy and your kick was clipping pretty bad the whole tune. The song structure was fine. I loved the melody. Anyways, cheers mate!

Herdunculus responds:

Oh hey. You are right. Im gonna fix that right now.

[Full Moon Rising]

...

Thats some solid sound mate. I thought it was going to be a CCR cover, but this is nothing like Fogerty. Fully sick, cheers mate.

sorohanro responds:

Couldn't make up a title for my track... my usual problem :))
Well, thanx for the review.
Feel free to download and use my sample pack ;)

[Peter Pipers Tongue Twister]

...

I thought it was kinda funny right after the tongue twister. "Oh my gawwwwd"

It sounded legitly like 2 people which can be hard. The guy below me doesn't really understand complicated things like what "voice acting" means. >_>

Cheers!

[Show Me Love '10 Remix]

...

Those automation tickle me in a way that if Loretta tickled me I would say "mmmmmm thats niiiice."

I like your simile to the Amen Break which is totally true as well.

[(PM) - RollBounce]

. . .

I would really suggest going back in and re rendering with more head room. This sounds a little bit hyper compressed and there is definitely some clipping in the beginning. End the loudness war! Cheers mate!

[Fredgy - Drum&Bass WIP]

. . .

Well since this is your first DnB tune I will respond critically(but don't take anything offensively plz!). Timbre is actually pretty important in making industry standard DnB, and I see some elements of standard sounding basslines in your reese, but ideally DnB is a lot about having really good fast motion so try working with different LFO automations and other effects and giving that single note bassline some motion! Also in regards to timbre, your percussion is pretty out of place. For the most part, dnb percussion utilizes tighter percs to help with keeping the beat audible and high energy(due to the tempo being so high! 170-180bpm). So for instance your backbeat is a really mushy distorted snare of some sort, and your kick has a fairly long decay(sounds like you probably added reverb to it which i would avoid with kicks), so maybe looking into a more live/real sounding snare and a shorter punchier kick could really benefit you. Also I know it sounds like cheating, but sampling premade loops is a really great idea for picking out good single percs or for getting some really good motion and depth in your hi hats. Anyways the song is still rockin mate, so kudos on a solid track and as always, Cheers!

Fredgy responds:

thanks dude!
but, could you help me a bit maybe with that what you said about LFO automations ? i wouldn't know how to get it right sounding in my song and stuff, ( but later because i'm kinda busy now with school :p )
anyways thanks for the advice! that's what i was waiting for ;)
