RawGreen's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hunting for Trains]

Certain issues

At least I'll give a good review than I get 90% of the time, where people just rate 0 for the fun of it <.<

The start is fairly good. The panning at 00:32 is hard on the ears, I suggest a steady panning from left to right as the pattern plays.

at 00:36 I suggest an something extra, whether you want to add drama or climax at this point is up to you. But you will want drums to come in around this general area, it's the only thing missing from this piece.

So tell me if you used fruity loops...
And if you are, look up how to link automation clips with effects and instruments.
Also, the slicer is a good tool for making your own drum loops, especially with the fruity kick to back up the main drums kick.

If you're not using fruity loops, I can find the software you're using and help you out with it even more ;)

8/10
4/5(for good first)

J3envolio responds:

Cheers for the response there dude! Helpful. I'm using Reason 4 with the Factory Sound Bank for the moment. I did have a quick look into Fruity Loops but didn't take to it. I might give it another shot when I've got some spare time.

have fun;

[Ghosts of the water]

Pretty nifty

Even though you say it's old, I'll still critique.
It has nice transitions, but the vocal part could use some dithering.
The loop could stand to be longer yet it's good enough as it is. It'd work well for menu music on an animation of some sort.

If I were to that it would need a dark and flowing look to it.
Which is how the music sounds ^_^

SonicJ responds:

Thanks for the review. I pretty much stopped visualizing what the song would be used for, at the point when I made this song. The voices, I don't get. Dithering?

[Epicness(Final)-Metaljonus]

Lame, Absolutly Lame !

It sux so bad I rated it 5/1 and 100/10

srsly tho, it's really good XD

Metaljonus responds:

lol thx!

[Tetris Remix (Collab)]

Originality

Besides the fact that this is the tetris's tune, this has allot of originality. However I would like to see allot more progressiveness, variety, and some automation shifts as this goes along. Sounds super nice compared to my first music collaboration, yuck.

Step responds:

Lol, thanks :). It's true that it didn't change much. We might continue it based on your helpful critisism. Thanks again! :)

[Mental Bomb]

A tip for the way

Instead of trying to play it like it`s note for note, Play it soul for note, it`ll come out bétter..

MormoMaker responds:

rawgreen! long time no see! :D lol okay, i'll be sure to try that, thanks!

[Rig - 8-bit Village]

hmmm

I always find myself wanting to add onto your music...

Rig responds:

Then add, man, add!

[Pro Tools Song #1]

First off..

If your program allows it, I know reason does, use a compressor. Or, lower the master volume. The melody could stand some improvement, not much though, you do a fairly good job. Next up, spend some attention to the lead, square sounds can be very good sounding, I think they sound alright. Somethings not right, ether the portamento or it's not soft enough in some areas. If you can manipulate the portamento to activate during longer slides and not during the smaller not shifts, it can remove some of the tension put on the ears.

9/10

B-man123 responds:

Thanks for the review. I am in the process of making another Pro Tools and Reason song. I think it wil come out lot better.

[Damn Right!]

o__________O"

well, I know what song I'm putting on my DS next :3
This is super inspiring, and if my DS didn't crash from over loading the sound banks, I'd try to do something similar on it. Lol >;\

broove responds:

DS?
Okay, well good luck with that. And thanks for listening.

[DjSc00p - Head Up(Final)]

sounds like fruityloops

great, now I'm hungry...

DjSc00p responds:

Haha go eat some of that cereal lol. Thanks for the review

[Sonata of Pursuit (remastered)]

THis is original

This is nicer than the mainstream techno anyday. somehow reminds me of that band..called something like "karwerk" or something.

MadHamish responds:

u mean kraftwerk? i love those guys!
