RawGreen's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Warming]

Warm

The bass sounds like sizzling meat on the grill.
On regular computer speakers and laptop speakers it just sounds like frizzed static playing. Sounds nice with subs or headphones though.

If any other listeners are reading this, get some good speakers to play this on, it sounds like a juicy stake is being pushed down your ears~ hahah.

I didn't dig the immediate intro.

The bass sounds too metallic when it comes up through the filter.... I like how it keeps hushed down, But I'm talking about 00:38 to 00:40 when it smacks a few extra frequencies around.
Probably a few slight frequency crunches, very, Very minor there, ha..
Throw in a few equalizer changes and/or a soft-clipper and it will be just fine.

The mastering is done very well otherwise.
The slight touch of vocal elements make it feel more down and chill along side those pads.
It keeps a melody and progresses enough to hold a listeners interest.

[Here And Now.]

Now and Then

Here and There

It's very rough.
The vocals are hard to hear, you might consider lowering the piano volume or side-chaining the voice onto the piano channel.
Allot of the sounds are clashing and merging too much, put a compressor on the main channel.

Hard to listen to, but it does seem to sound like it will be decent with some mastering.

KillTheTrucker responds:

Yea, you're right. Didn't had the time to mix and master things out clearly yet.
Thanks for your review!

[EIDSM]

Electronic Intelligent Dance Symphonic Music?

Well, you sure put your time into this one.
It sounds like Dance<->Trance
Could work as either is what I mean.
The initial bell sounds a little weird. Is it sustained but cutting off when the same note plays?
I like how the sounds used for your drums aren't generic like the ones you find for mainstream or people new to creating dance.
When the piano comes in, it's got a nice atmospheric touch.

[Blood! - KyvoX]

Blud

Over all it's pretty damn good :3
There's some elements it could use around the beginning of the middle of the song.
I always recommend pads or elements for this.
Otherwise this track will keep really anybody entertained with it playing somewhere in the background.
It has nice bass, good scores, the automation is a nice touch.

KyvoX responds:

Thanks, it lacks some atmosphere in the middle, i'll try the pads ! Glad you like it :)

[Foul Mechanism]

Deep Dark Dank

The crushers are wicked, and before you know it, you have a pulsing baseline in there. You're right about the song progressing slowly. I'm normally not too keen about listening to this kind of music in my spare time.
But it would make an awesome Filmscore or Soundtrack for an eerie Video-game! The crushers that come in make you wonder, what kind of machine could make such a sound?
I imagine a flesh covered factory machine in a dark grieving cave, like Yume Nikki for example. Very complex sounding, I hope you enjoyed creating it.
It was enjoyable to listen to for imagining things.

Van-pl responds:

Why, yes, I enjoyed every aspect of creating this!
I'm very glad that you pulled this much of a expression from it, and actually found it intriguing and enjoyable :)

Thank you for your great rewiev!

[A Nice Place To Call Hell]

Upbeat

*to other listeners: it gets good at 0:18

It has an interesting use of tempo change. You did very well on your synth lead, it kept me fairly entertained. I really see that there should be something playing as the beat slows down. The song could stand to have a soft element playing, strings or pads would be a good choice.
Otherwise, the beat slowing down stretches for a very long time. The cymbal you used at the end was a nice touch though, hah.
It moves from intense battle music to happy, to calm.
I enjoyed this song, thanks~!

Cebster responds:

After finishing a song, its always tough to swallow criticism, but I gotta say, great review. Really was nice to hear, so thank you. Yeah the song needs work but I'm glad you enjoyed it ( for the most part.)

[Snailiad - Moon Snail]

Tight

The pitch bend in points of the bass, the tom before the beat slows down, the way it slows down and speeds up with different instruments differently. Those are the three bits of the track that make it outstanding.
I'm going to assume you got some reverences from Rock music for that bass instrument.
I'm not referring to the sub sound that comes in, just the low square/saw wave.

Gah, I just woke up I'm not awake all the way.
Bare with my half arsed review.

auriplane responds:

Cool, thanks for the detailed review! XD

[Electrode Step [BluGil]]

Nice Drop

That drop was huge, I was starting to wonder what was at the end of that trail at the beginning.It's got gut, it's got punch, it's got groove. I <3 it

Which VSTi are you referring to btw?

BluGil responds:

Thanks mate I appreciate it,
And I was using Massive haha. Just began with some bass preset and did some tweaking. Honestly this was a pretty lazy track, probably only an hour or two of work total.

[Giant Soap]

Suds,

I will have happy dreams about lots of suds now.
I hope.
