Fro's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[ECHO - Reverb-X (2009)]

~ Review Request Club ~

I swore that I heard something like this before. That could mean a couple of things. It could mean that it's generic and it sounds like a lot of songs that I've heard on this site before or because it just happens to sound like a song that I heard before.

It has a pretty good video game type feel to it and doesn't really sound like anything that I would dance to. :P You had some really good sound effects in there and the song as a whole is pretty decent all around.

I disagree slightly with the last reviewer who said the first one was better than this as I thought this one was slightly better than your first one.

I think it was better as the other had a lot of low points or parts that just were kind of quiet and boring, but this one seemed more complete and had a little bit more variety in it. Yes it is a tad bit long I think and shortening it might even help it become slightly better.

The quality isn't really a problem just like the last one, but is still noticeable a little bit. I feel that this could be used in a real life video showing a very green forest and closeups of some pine trees with other wildlife being around.

Monkeydelic responds:

Thanks :)

I've always wanted to add more parts to this song, so it might get even longer :P
But i promise i'll try to keep it interesting.

Thanks for the review :)

Namaste.

I think that Sealander said it best when he said you are the best ambient artist here on newgrounds. It's like there is an entire different level of where other audio creators are and where you are. It's like a professional level.

As usual your commentary gives a wonderful description of what one may be thinking of when listening to this. It was a very relaxing song so pretty much anything that could relax a person would probably come to mind when listening to this song.

So great job creating a good quality song that allows someone to imagine what they want. It's very relaxing and would probably be great for so many different ambient scenes in flash.

I didn't really get into this song and personally didn't like it that much. First off it wasn't really wasn't something that I would listen to (of course I can't take points away for that though), but I also thought that it just kind of kept going on and on and nothing really ever happened to make the song a good song. Kind of bland in my opinion.

It would probably make a great song for a numerous amount of games though. I think of something like a puzzle game or some sort of game where you have to take turns or something such as that.

Bracksta responds:

i think i see what you like in a song, hmmm....After reading your review i seems that you'd rather a song have a stand out core that the song is based around rather then multiple cores or melodies being mixed together.

A very simple, but yet very effective song. It has a very nice old fashion RPG style feel to it that you would expect in an RPG game with Knights and other old fashion type stuff. I didn't hear any crackle or anything so it must not be bad enough to take anything away from the song.

Like I said before it was very simple, but you did a good job in not making it boring or anything of the sort as it did sound pretty good. Towards the end it started to pick up a little bit and perhaps it would have been a little bit better if it picked up more towards the middle of the song?

loansindi responds:

Thanks for the review.

Yeah, it picks up towards the end because that's as far as I've gotten so far. I have trouble making things a reasonable length because I tend to get distracted or lose interest in the project.

Yeah, the mic doesn't take too much away from the submission, but you can tell a bit that it isn't the best of quality. Does sound good being recorded on a simple webcam mic though.

The song itself starts off very good, but I get the impression that it gets a tad bit too repetitive and it has many low points where not much is going on and it gets just a tad bit boring because of it.

It would probably be useful for something such as an introduction to a movie where they are panning through a forest or over some green hills and mountains or something similar to that.

Monkeydelic responds:

Thanks :)

I'll re-record this song, and then i'll add some more elements, firstly forest sounds, and synth sounds, and so on, so hopefully that takes care of that problem:)

Thanks for review:)

Namaste.

This is by far one of your best submissions that I have listened to. I usually rate your submissions somewhere around a 5 to a 7 or so right? Well this one was pretty cool and very fast paced. It was a fun song to listen to and it never really died down while never getting too repetitive or anything of the sort.

It also had some pretty cool sound effects. I like the high pitch laser type sound more towards the end of the song, but it can be harmful to your ears if you have the song turned up loud. :P

I see this with a very video game type of feeling to it as well. Sounds to me like it could be something that could be used in not only the credits of a submission, but even during the gameplay or maybe a video within the game itself.

Box-Killa responds:

yup :D yup yup.

Yup most of my songs are just fillers for good songs that i make :D

HeHe, if it ruins people ears.... meh.

yup vg music all teh way!

good night!

Kind of making up my own vision of what I visualized when I listened to this song here. I almost got a feeling that someone was creating a robot or that a group of people, presumably scientists were creating some sort of dark and mysterious creature. The song as a whole has a very dark and mysterious sound to it, which fits very well with your song.

I also maybe saw a slow moving robot or machine that was heading towards a society or civilization about to slowly destroy it as it moved on and nothing really being able to stop it. Of course what you wrote is what it was for and makes total if not better sense then what I envisioned, but we all see different things. :P

There were a lot of cool sound effects in this submission and the overall sound of it gives it a very good visual to the listener. A song that would be fit for a flash submission or game, but is also pretty cool to just listen to by itself.

PuffballsUnited responds:

Thanks! I think it's cool that it fits as a standalone song and a song for a video game! :D

I have a couple of mixed feelings about this. It was pretty neat how you had the clapping sound effect there in the beginning and in the end. It almost gives the visual that someone is stepping out onto the stage and the crowd is clapping for them. They then perform their song and then are also clapped off the stage with about the same amount of tone of excitement.

The instruments that you used (I'm assuming loops?) did sound pretty good all around. The thing was that the way that you combined and mixed the sounds in the song was just a bit simple. There wasn't really enough going on and it gave it a bit of a boring feel. I would suggest having a bit more going on so it sounds more appealing.

A couple of words that come to my mind when trying to describe this song are different, original, cool, variety, etc...

It definitely has a different sound to it than most other submissions on the site, which obviously leads to the original sound it creates. You also had a lot of cool sound effects and a lot of different things going on in this song to really make it sound good.

I rather enjoyed how the introduction was slow in the beginning and then it started to build up. It can help create an image that everything is ok, but it's slowly starting to turn hectic until it quickly turns hectic and then hell just breaks out.

A good song all around and a couple of cool sound effects were there to really help it out.

SessileNomad responds:

i think this is my first submission that has an automation to control the BPM of the song, its a pretty cool technique that i was experimenting with

variety was def. somthing i was going for in this one, i wanted it to touch up on a few different genres, BPM changes, effects throughout, stuff like that, im glad you liked that aspect of this

"It definitely has a different sound to it than most other submissions on the site"-- my job here is done :)

glad you liked it dude, peace out
