Fro's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Remember the Killings Finished]

Mmm what a dreamy voice ;)

It's been awhile again. Too long to be exact, but here I am yet again to enjoy one of the best musicians on this website. Very simple song like you stated, but still great music all around. Great vocals and lyrics to the song. This sounds really good with vocals on it and the version without seems like it would just sound to simple to me. O.o

Pretty good though. Very relaxing to listen to and just done well all around. Keep up the good work brother.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thank you very much! Dig the review very much. The simplicity, is something I may continue, for full songs for a couple reasons. But anyways, thanks very much. Glad you dig.

[This is NOT a Real Rave []

Sounds pretty good to me.

I think it has a pretty original sound to it getting away from some of the traditional trance songs that you listen to on newgrounds.

I like the very beginning of the song and it gave off the effect that someone was walking into the front door of a dance club and the slow transition of the song getting clearer would be like the person getting deeper into the dance club and hearing the music more clearer.

The song was pretty fun to listen to and I think was mixed well. I didn't like the cymbal that it ended on though. To me it just kind of felt out of place and all trance songs try to end on that same note for some reason. :/

LightKeeper responds:

I was aiming for that club feel, the low pass does a lot when it comes to giving the effect of going into a party and then closing in on the source of music. :P As far as the cymbal at the end, that's filler. It's actually in the song, but like I said, this is a demo. That's not the end of the full thing, but I think it closes out like that pretty well, so it's alright, even if it is a bit generic.

[Surreal Emotions]

Rather repetitive.

It's basically the same thing repeating over and over. If it wasn't for the background music changing up a bit then I would say meh, this is really too repetitive to even listen to without getting really bored with it.

I do like how in the beginning it was quiet and then it picked up to be a little louder, but I do also think that you should have changed it up a bit.

I can see it being used during the credits of a flash submission though. When the credits are finished the song could be faded out. Actually would make a great credits song for some flashes.

It actually loops together rather well and could perhaps be used for ambient music if it was turned down a little bit.

Thank you for the review. Remember, the audio portal is a place for flash artists to find music, not just to show off music.

[Hardcore Demo]

Nice beat!

I found myself listening to this about 10 times through. No lie in that at all. I found that it was really fun to listen to and that I was bobbing my head along with the music.

Really fun dance music, but I wouldn't exactly call it hardcore. :P When I think of hardcore I think of heavy metal music or something like that. Still I'm not that into this genre so I don't know if what you did is considered hardcore for this type of music or not.

Anyway, great demo. Can't wait to hear the final version. keep up the good work.

Thank you for the review!

[Horatio Shades]

Not bad a little random perhaps

I just kind of felt that the song didn't have much structure, but not knowing much about music myself I can't really tell you how to improve on something like that really. The guitar itself sounded rather good, kind of random every now and then. I don't think that there was enough going on to keep the song together or going smoothly like a bass, or perhaps some other instruments incorporated a bit more.

Great guitar itself, a bit random or kind of all over the place, and needs to be structured a bit better.

Sawdust responds:

THanks a lot, sorry for the late response, I'll try and improve on this some time

[Preludes of Mélancolique]

Pretty good

Pretty good song all around. Nice classical feel that resembles a sad situation such as perhaps a death, speech, ect.. Maybe something that could be incorporated into a flash submission after a city was destroyed and there is a scene where you are panning across to see the destruction, smoke, victims, etc..

I received some static when listening to this. Not sure if it was the speakers on the computer, but I wasn't picking it up from anything else so perhaps the audio quality could have been a little better? Other than that pretty decent classical feel all around.

sarias responds:

yeah at the moment i am a realy bad recorder as far as recording goes im learning :) so its mostly just how the song itself is :) xKore did all my other songs i may have to ask him for help again

thanks for the review though

[Zapp Brannigan Montage]

Not bad.

You don't sound exactly like the voices, but your not too far away either. Good quality voices though. Plan on being in any Futurama flashes in the near future?

Your Zapp voice isn't too bad, but you can hear the difference slightly. Can't be exactly the same though.

The Kiff had to my most favorite and I think you did the best with his voice in my opinion.

The Nixon voice.. I had no clue who you were even trying to sound like until after I read your author comments. Maybe I'm just not hearing it though. I can see traces of it after I realized you were trying to voice act like. (Seems like people disagree with me on this, but oh well I guess that's the purpose of a review)

Overall, not bad voice acting at all.

Coop responds:

I'd love to be a part of a Futurama flash, but it;s a case of getting myself close to it. I'm not quite there yet, but give it time.

Perhaps I'll have to make a piece that covers a few of the other voices I do - Zoidberg, PRofessor and Hermes, to name but a few.

[[S:C] White Hot Colonic]

I enjoyed it.

The static was on purpose? I think static works with the olskool style. At least I've heard it on quite a few submissions on newgrounds and I think it sounds good with the genre.

Hm, perhaps a bit short. I think it could been a little longer, giving it room for more vocals, which could have also been a bit louder in my opinion.

I do have to say that I loved the piano in this all around. Sounds really good man. Overall not a bad submission at all. Sounds pretty good, pretty basic/simple, and has a good feel to it all around.

SymbolCymbal responds:

yeah the ambient static was on purpose.. i was trying to get the feel of a dj with two records mixing together instead of using some powerful logic studios software on a macintosh.

yeah i was just effin around with this one so it is kinda short i recently have only been submitting my loops here on newgrounds and saving my songs for my band.

i figured if anyone wants to use this for a song or to rap over it wouldnt be too hard to chop up the three parts of it and copy pasta the crap out of it lol.

well im glad you enjoyed it.. thanks for the review

[SPNR - Earlybird]

Not too bad.

Sounds to me like it could be used in credits to a submission that had a somewhat happy ending as I do get a happy feeling from it. I also get the relaxed, but at the same time kind of excited and ready to go feeling from this. Pretty simple, but I think you got the simplicity to work in your favor in this submission.

I see some people talking about static in their reviews, but I listened to the song about two or three times and personally didn't notice anything. Perhaps I'm just missing it or you fixed it, but I don't think it's too noticeable, not noticeable at all to me.

AlexCo responds:

I haven't changed anything so far, I think it's just His speakers or headphones. Its the highest quality mp3 you can get.

Anyway, thanks for reviewing. :]

**** Mastered it better, hats are tickier and brighter, Synth is warmer. Maybe less 'static' :p

[Skela - Groovin' to]

Lol at Coop..

Why would this make you want to lift weights? Doesn't sound like weightlifting music to me at all.

Something I could dance to. Just the beat makes me nod my head along with it. Loved the lyrics/vocals that you had added in the submission. The effects that you used were kind of trippy and really added a lot to the song.

Perhaps a little bit more lyrics then the ones that you had? I wouldn't mind hearing something different as the song goes on.

Thanks for the review.
