Indigorain's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Joy]

This song is so full of emotion, I totally loved that distorted saw in the middle of the song, the dragging sound of its portamento effect, the melodies, it's just so amazing. I don't know what else to say, it just does so much to you. The beat is really well placed, the 'arhythmical' placements of the percussion is perfect and the mix is super crisp!
And the vocals were absolutely beautiful.
Amazing job, love it! 5/5, you deserve every single one!

broove responds:

Glad you liked it so much. Thank you for dropping a comment.

[As I Was]

Great quality, loved the beat, the reverb and delay on the percussion was amazing. I really loved your effects, and the vocal samples were great.
The pads were really what created the whole atmosphere, you used them perfectly!
5/5 bro, you deserve it! And I'll add this one to my favourites! :D

Waidmann responds:

Thanks man.
Much appreciated!

[TC - Clueless[Tease]]

Sweet! Crispcrispcrispness!
Amazing percussion, and I love the ambience created by the subtle plucks.
I was gonna give it 4.5 stars, but then I noticed it loops perfectly! So I just gave it the full 5 and I added it to my fav's :D
5/5 bro, great work! :D

D-Chain responds:

thanks <3

[Pump My Bass (Techno Remix)]

Sweet!
You've got some nice melodies here bro! I do have some advice, and that's that you could really work on the mix here. The bassdrum is fairly weak at some points, you could help that by EQing it and boosting the lower and higher frequencies a bit. I liked your 8-bit lead, it sounded nice and catchy!
You could also EQ that crash cymbal, and put some reverb on it, sometimes it sounds way too dry and it could blend in much more then it does now.
Then for the melodies, they're really catchy, but at some points you could've made it catchier, it seems a bit like you're placing the notes sort of 'randomly' on the scale. I know it's not randomly of course, rhythmically it's great, but sometimes the notes don't go along the lines of the chords, try using notes that are in the chords at the heavier accents, if you know what I mean.
For example, the notes you place on every beat will be the chord notes, and inbetween you could use others (and chord notes too of course). It's a bit of a shitty explanation, but I hope you understand :P
Anyway, I really like your instrumentation and structure, the pads are great, your use of percussion is nice, and your melodies, even if I criticised them, are damn catchy!
Great work man, keep it up!

TastyTeo responds:

Thanks, i am a starter though i am still learning, i will keep in mind your advice, i will get better and better as the time goes by!

[I Own The World]

Disagreeing with PapaSmooth, the beginning had me hooked. It's extremely crisp, your instrumentation is super, your mix is amazing and your mastering is great. You're really pumping out a lot of tracks here, is that all you? Ã-
Anyway, great melodies, amazing instrumentation, and I loved the powermetal-ish/rock theme in the breakdowns. Superb track, 5/5 and going to my favs!

msevaamore responds:

Yes it is all me :) It is for my dubstep Album "Zombification" Thank you so much! :)

[Autumn Leaves]

Nice work!
Now, I have to say, most jazz musicians will indeed tell you that it's all about emotion, but they'll also tell that apart from that it's all about awesome chromatics and sweet bebop lines :D
Anyway, As soon as I heard your contrabass, you had me, it sounded so alive, warm and real, it was great! Your drums were nice, I really enjoyed the brushes, the whole jazzkit sounded great, although, if I could point one thing out, along with the rythms, it did feel a little like a hip hop beat (it's probably the use of the bassdrum).
Anyway, the quality is really crisp, and the dynamics make it really feel alive.
5/5, you totally deserve it! :D

[Annihilating Rhythm Mastered]

So punchy!
I loved the mix and the mastering bro, it's really crisp!
Your lead was really a screamer, it sounded sick!
The melodies are slightly cheesy, but I love your structure, and the melodies are still good! :D
Anyway, great work man, keep it up!
Goin to my favs! :D

DJ-Frosted responds:

Thanks XD this is the first mix where i've used true stereo mixing and its made a MASSIVE difference in quality :P

im not sure what you ment by cheesey... but thanks? XD

I honestly believe song structure is my weak point and it needs to be worked on A LOT also i think i need to work on my fills and breaks they seem really basic so you can expect to see that in a future release

[Banana Inc. ~Hands up rem]

Sweet!

Great build man, I love the use of filtering!
Your melodies are really nice, the progression is nice, vivid and uplifting, and your melodies are superduperhappy! :D
And props on the synths, they sound really great dude!
It's great to hear that you got some great melodies, that are well thought out, and not just some random notes from a scale, which I encounter here a lot :P
Anyway, I really love it, even more because of the extreme happiness! :D
5/5, going to my favs, for some good hands up! Keep it up man! :D

keosni391 responds:

Thanks :) but it's a remix so i didn't make the melody :P haha :D

[-The blue planet-]

Why the low votes? D:

Damn, the percussion is supercrisp, your background synths create an amazing spacey atmosphere, and your orchestration is beautiful!
I think this is my new favourite from you, it's just amazing, the production, the atmosphere, the orchestration, the melodies, it's all just awesome!
So hereby I give thee, 15 awesomepoints!
Much love man, keep it going! :D:D <3
