Zakimations's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[S k u l l K r u s H e r]

Cool?

Drum samples sounded too electric. Guitars sonic range was pretty smashed.

the riff? it was cool.

it was short, but cool?

Black-Cloak-of-Night responds:

I'll let my drummer know. He'll take that as a compliment.

Don't you just love distortion?

[They Want Your Flesh(EoC/GrbD)]

Hah!

you know what?

This is excellent.

It is lamb of god meets chimaira. well, its elf meets gorebastard. whatever.

ElfofChaos responds:

only difference is the first two are actually making money for this hahahahaha

thanks for the listen man

[Eirun - The Horror Continues]

Cool man

If you took the time to find different VST instruments outside of what FL came with;; this song would be %1000 better. It is already good though besides that. FL Slayer is so over-used it ruins the sound for me. Good song, GJ,

Eirun responds:

Heh, true. Too bad I can't undo that now. :D

[Another Damned Piano Track]

......

The fact that you gave it such a unpromising name is a wonder that I even clicked on it.

Lets see;

I will break this song down into 3 tracks (in order of their appearance)

Piano track 1: Loops the entire time with the exception of a few spots. Remember: removing a track for a few measures is not a substitution for a bridge.

Piano track 2: composed of about 3 chords id say, same thing as track 1. Acts as a outro as well

Drum track: thats all it is, kind of cuts in and out to give the illusion that the "song" actually has a structure.

It is repetitive. and to my ears it only has 3 tracks switching places here and there.

You have the skill to make better piano tracks, I promise. Try harder, and try to compose a fucking masterpiece. Nobody is going to give a shit that you were the one that wrote "Another damned piano track." get it?

I am not trying to be rude, just honest. If you feel that my review was inaccurate then you are right, because as long as you feel that it was as good as you want it to be, than its good.

ThumperHill responds:

Let me just say that

1] The name fit the track. Thats why its named that. It was quickly made and in my mind somewhat rediculous.

2] I make music that I like, and I like this one because I play music like this, without structure and mostly repetitive, when I'm playing games on my computer. Because when I'm racing against seven other people, I don't want to be so interested in the song that I suck at the race.

3] I thank you for your review because its honest, but I would like to say that I'm not trying to compose a "fucking masterpiece." I'm composing what I like and what fits my needs, and if people want to hear more, great. If not, great.

[Rolling Credits]

Well

According to the title I assume it was meant for the credit roll at the end.

When I imagine it along with a credit roll it really does fit well, but then again...

Any song can fit with a credit roll depending on what kind of mood the audience wants to leave his audience with.

Its repetitive, very repetitive. Remember: Removing the drum track for 2 measures is not a substitution for a bridge.

Overall, its pleasing to the ears for the first minute. I tried this song on a test audience of a few friends hanging out and they gave me a weird look after approx 1 minute. It seriously repeats too much.

I voted honestly, and reviewed honestly.

2/5

ThumperHill responds:

Ok, honestly, stop reviewing my stuff. I know my shit repeats itself, that's what I want it to do. After two reviews saying practically the same thing and a shitty vote from you, I don't need any more of them. I get your point, stop being obnoxious.

[Hoshima - Opening Narration]

I gotta know...

What mixing software do you use? Or do you actually record the instruments? This sounds so fantastic

Setu-Firestorm responds:

It's a VSTi called Edirol Orchestral. The host program is Nuendo, but that's a bit irrelevant because Nuendo basically does all the same things that every other host software does (although Nuendo's got a whole world of other features, I haven't really explored them yet).

[Arie]

Hell yeah

Rounded out to almost perfection

G-vegas responds:

I agree with you. The only thing I would've changed was that weak bassline. I got a remix somewhere on one of my computers, more dancehall tho. Thx 4 the review!

G-Vegas

[High Roller]

Hip hop.

If this is exactly what you wanted it to sound like than good job, well done. Its a good song as long as you personally feel it is perfect. On the other hand, from a 3rd person view:

The FL hits are definently a hip hop thing, however the synth lead is a little over doing it. Replace it with a mid-bass and that should even things out. make the high channel something less techno-ish and and easier on the ears. High rollin is all about kicking back, and this reminds me of driving a broken down civic past a group of fat chicks and them piling into my trunk only to blow a head-gasket and ultimately labeled a "jive sucka"

It sounds like the same thing looped over and over.

PM me and tell me what you think I should vote on this, i'm not sure.

G-vegas responds:

This was not one of my best efforts, I'll admit that. It's fair and constructive criticism, and i appreciate that. It is a loop, but it was not made for NG which is why it's so long and repetitive. Ty tho

[Electronika]

Cool

Personally I'm not into the whole trance thing so I'm not one to really judge but from what experience I have about production music:

Seems like the whole song sounded the same, didn't really have a pickup until about 1:40 and even then it was pretty much the same. Try harder to have different segments in the song and make people go "wow, that part kicked ass."

3/5

ChroniMC responds:

This goes to both of you, I really do hate people that judge a genre they dislike.
It's electronica for gods sake. Its supposed to be the same until 1:40 its called BUILD UP.
I am just going to stop posting music on NG because its useless it seems most of the people here revolve around hard metal, rock, hip hop or misc genres, its pathetic.

Both of you are pathetic, and thats just plain honesty. Do me one favor, please for future posters of techno, house, or trance - just dont vote... its not your thing, leave it for those who's it is. Neither of your reviews were helpful. There aren't supposed to be many peaks, there is supposed to be the same sound for quite some time before it changes in any technophobic genre. Wow.

[(::Flying Down To Shadows::)]

Works well

Good song man, keep it up!

FatKidWitAJetPak responds:

Cool, I will. =)
