Fro's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Taxmurder]

~ Review Request Club ~

Very catchy beat all around and it's a pretty fun submission to listen to. Perhaps a bit repetitive every now and then, but you did change it up a little bit here and there to make it manageable.

Perhaps some vocals or faded voices saying something would sound pretty cool. I think something like a count down from 3 or a count up from 3 in a voice would sound pretty cool. Something along the lines of, "1, 2, 3, Go."

I do think that the ending was a little abrupt and that there could have been a build up to the ending or a better series of notes to end it on than what you used.

Sawdust responds:

Indeed, it was too sudden, I didn't exactly elaborate on the ending sequence. So, i'll probably throw in a synth there coming in ocassionally, and coming in at the end and punctuating the song.

Good job all around. I was thinking about taking some off for the way the voice interrupts in the beginning, but I decided not to. It should really go in the beginning or at least it'll make the song better if you did that in my opinion.

Very original sound to this all around. Doesn't sound generic or anything, which can be hard to come by. Set it up perfect and I can't really see anyway how to improve this in anyway. (probably since I don't know the techy stuff about music)

Pretty good all around like I said. Original sound to it and a very catchy beat. Worth a listen to so check it out people. ;)

Haha, thanks a lot Fro! ^_^

[Hardcore, thats right]

~ Review Request Club ~

Very catchy. I'll jump on the band wagon and say that the submission was very catchy with the first part of my review. :P Some generic sound to it as it does have a lot of traces of many other trance songs, but there isn't a genre that doesn't do that so I can't complain.

Very good quality, great mixing all around. I loved the use of voices in the submission. They really sounded good and it's cool how they matched the title of the submission and everything. The title of the submission makes me laugh a little bit to be honest. :P

I think perhaps you could have had a males voice saying, "Hardcore" somewhere in the song to really match the title could have been cool. It might make it worse, but it might be interesting to see how it sounds.

DeejayDeeZ responds:

Nice, thanks alot for giving me a 10 :D.

Yeah, there is some generic sounds, but whatever. The song itself is not that generic I hope... ^^

Hahaha, your one of the few ones that like the voices, but thats cool. And I couldnt come up with a fitting name to this song, so I based it on the voices, lol.

A male voice saying, Hardcore? Haha, in my imagination that dosent sound quite good. But yeah, maybee I should check how it fits.

Thanks again for your good review.

Hm, I'm no professional at music, but some things sounded a bit off tune. If so then it's just my ears telling me so and if not like I said I'm not a professional, but I'm just following what my ears tell me.

For the most part the guitar sounds pretty good all around. Some parts didn't seem to fit every now and then, but the overall feel that I get from the guitar is pretty good.

I noticed the static part in the beginning and I wasn't sure if that was suppose to be rain or static, but I just assume it's static. Perhaps that's just a recording equipment problem or something of the sort.

~ Review Request Club ~

mistermurfi responds:

yeah had a dodgy cable when i recorded it so it is just static

parts will sound out of place in most things i record because i generally do it on the improv with no pre thoughts on what to play sometimes it works sometimes not but hey thats what musics about right?

again thanks for the review :D

When I listened to this it didn't create an image in my mind of something that I would see or hear playing during an animation or any sort of movie of some sort. It doesn't exactly sound like something that would be very ambient.

Does sound like it would be pretty good over some credits or something. A little bit of an eerie feel to it here and there as well so perhaps a movie that was a tad bit science fiction like or something similar.

All around not bad, but not something that I would exactly think about hearing when thinking of ambient music as I think of ambient music as a tad bit more subtle and this had a couple of high pitch notes that might catch people's attention.

~ Review Request Club ~

mistermurfi responds:

Yeah sorry wasnt exactly sure what category to put it into and just went for ambient because its quite soft :D

yeah its prob not good for any flash or anything but wasnt made with that in mind was just done really quickly for lolz

thanks for the awesome review :D

[Parisienne redux]

~ Review Request Club ~

Sounded pretty good all around. The beginning just kind of jumps in there without warning, but you've already explained why that happens. Could be something that would be pretty easy to fix though.

There were sometimes where the back tracking and the guitar just didn't sound right together, but it gave it kind of this interesting sound that you wouldn't exactly expect to hear. And all around great job on the guitar though.

~ Review Request Club ~

mistermurfi responds:

yeah dont know why the beginning got cut off but was kinda a one time mistake hasnt happened since so its all good :D

when you say the backing and guitar didnt go together you mean the tone of the guitar or just the notes im playing?

either way im sure i could make improvements and will try to :D

thanks again for the review

Pretty cool song. I really liked the way the introduction sounded. Pretty original sound to it and some nice effects all around. It even made my baby nephew dance so it must have a catchy beat to it. :P

The voices were of great quality and were placed very well in the song. After the voices I didn't enjoy the song as much though. My favorite part would have to be before the voices. Not bad all around though.

~ Review Request Club ~

SessileNomad responds:

yeah after the voices is when it realy gets into the heavy hardstyle stuff, and that genre is pretty much an aquired taste, so i understand

fuck yeah man, making babies dance is my thing

[Pull The Plug - Cover]

~ Review Request Club ~

Let me start off by saying that the song itself is really good. Alone it's worth a 10/10, but because of the sound I had to lower the score just a tad bit. Very hard to hear even when the speakers are turned all the way up. That on top of me being very hard of hearing didn't make for an easy time listening to this.

Like I said though the song itself is about perfect. I'd love to hear this a bit louder so I didn't have to strain to hear it and I could fully enjoy the awesomeness of the song. I was impressed with the vocals as well.

Jeffaro responds:

I'm gonna have to disagree with you.I don't really feel that the song is the (perfect) cover.But I do agree that the song can be louder.I'm uploading a louder version right now.

[In League (Cover)]

~ Review Request Club ~

I loved the song itself. Again, it's something that I haven't heard so I can relate it back to the original, but in my opinion it sounded great. The only problem is the quality of the vocals.

I actually think you sang this one quite good. The voice itself was perfectly fine, but the quality of the mic wasn't that good, which took away the quality of the song a bit.

~ Review Request Club ~

Blackdoom13 responds:

The vocals were meant to sound kinda messed up like that. I added distortion and a low pass filter so it kinda dirtied it up. But honestly I think it was too much. I was listen to this on my headphones today and noticed that they sound really fuzzed up. So I think I'll do some thing about it.

I think this is another good piece of audio from you. Great guitar and everything else. I don't know much about the techy stuff of music so I wouldn't know if there was anything wrong with it really. That's why to me it looks pretty good. ;) I guess I can only notice the minor things.

You made a good piece not only because it sounds great without vocals, but you set it up so it would sound great with them too. Very versatile piece. I never heard the original sound itself so I can't really compare this to it, but I'm sure you did a pretty decent job.

Good heavy guitar just like I like in a heavy metal song. Good variety and pretty good quality all around.

Blackdoom13 responds:

Thanks man! Awesome review! I'm glad you enjoyed it! And I'm glad you like my music!
About the vocals I think I have someone to sing the female part so I can do the screams. So maybe it'll have vox soon. lol
Thanks for the review!
