isub's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pyrphoros]

Very quiet

Its too quiet but it is well done, it needs some more depth, perhaps more instruments for it to be a very nice orchestral peice, and perhaps get a better program for the instruments... or RSC

hehe, i like it though, it's fairly well done.

[Ectso - Crafting Shadows]

ahaha!

the drum sounds like a slice for sure, the pitch bend doesn't sound great, but thats just my opinion... Alsooo, I recognize those drums, aren't they a reproduced version of Amen, Brother? I may have used them for a few of my old old songs.

anyway, not bad.

ectsoman responds:

Lmao, yeah. It's Amen, I actually found a tutorial that suggested using the sample for starters, I've still got quite a bit to learn and yeah, the pitch bends where a bit odd imo. It's no where near done, but I plan on cleaning this up quite a bit. Since it sounds like you've got some experience under your belt, maybe you could provide some advice since I'm completely new to this genre.

[~NK~ "Take Me Away"]

shit!

This is beautiful, this is probably one of the first absolute professional dubsteps I've heard on newgrounds.

[Starlight: 2nd Ascension]

OMG!

I'm honestly liking this, pretty sweet! Reminds me of DJ Cammy!

balderdact responds:

Glad you like it :D

[Dreamy Sound Garden]

Beautiful

I love this, this is very well done,

I'm guessing you played the guitar part yourself (it sounds that way), the song has a great composition. the only problems I had were with the strings, you should have had them fade in or something, they came in too suddenly, and with the crash cymbal sample you used...

Overall, it was great :3

JJAmmons responds:

Thanks Isub, I appreciate the review and i'm glad you liked it. And yes I came up with the melody on my acoustic guitar :)

[-Gunslinger-]

Truly, one of a kind

This is beautiful, I honestly have never heard a western inspired song on Newgrounds, this totally blew me away, and I absolutely love the way you made it in a totally contemporary way.

The one thing I don't feel sounds right is the acoustic guitar, it doesn't sound real, I'm not sure if it's an effect you used or if you created it in a program.

ChronoNomad responds:

Disclaimer: No guitars were harmed in the making of this musical production.

They're just digital instrument samples, so I do the best I can. Of course anyone could debate how 'real' a digital sound sample is since it came from an actual guitar at one point. It all depends on what you constitute as being real, I suppose. Sadly I don't own a guitar, but I do possess knowledge of guitar chords and progression...so that helps.

Thanks for the review, and I'm glad that you like it! I must admit, I've never really heard anything else like this on NG either. It clearly has an audience, so I'm happy! :)

[Impossible to Convey]

Awesome house/dance song bro

This is seriously ILL! Decent house songs are always difficult to pull off, but you really did a great job on this, I really don't know what else to say... Flawless.

PrEmoEffect responds:

Thanks. I'm really glad that you liked it.

[Red Sky 2011]

Toxic bro

This is pretty ill bro, but I think you could work a little on adding some depth to the song, it's pretty bland.
