Indigorain's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Eggs, Sunny Side Up]

Smooth

Veeeery very smooth.
I just can't think of the song that it reminds me of.
Oh, yes, autumn leaves, paul desmond and chet baker. Only in the beginning, because those firsts three chords are the same as that one, it's an amazing song.
Anyway, back to this song.
I really liked the fact that you made this smooth chillin' jazz, the chords are really nice.
Great work man, keep it up!

Stavier responds:

Yeah, that smooth chord progression with the guitars/song is what I was most certainly going for. Ah, I'll give them a lookup later on youtube. Yeah, this is one of those genres I can really get into when I want to. That goes the same for classical songs, but I've never made one, which I should. Thanx for the review & I will definitely keep it up :D

[YTQ Remake - The Comeback]

To be honest

I hate reggaeton. However, I really appreciate this song, I think I actually like it :D
I really love the 8-bit sounds, the mastering is really nicely done.
Come to think of it, I think I like this track more than other reggaeton songs, because there are no spanish macho's shouting over the track, that really ruins it in my opinion.
Anyway, I pretty much left more of love then hate, I really enjoyed it.
Keep it up man! 5/5

AramizYeriel responds:

Thanks for the review!

[Sea Of Atmosphere]

Excellent!

Great atmosphere, really good instrumentation!
I'm liking the sub here, man! :D
I really like the melodies you gave this song, it's really catchy.
You're improving a lot man, keep it up! :D

Stavier responds:

Ah, glad you liked the atmosphere of this song & yeah, I did work on the instrumentation for awhile with this one. Really glad you liked the bass cuz I was like hope this one is a good one for the listener's. Yeah, catchy is always good. I'm glad you think I'm improving & I think doing DnB songs gives me a good break to practice music theory actually. Thanx for the review!

[Brisk Momento]

Nice!!!

You've really improved a lot here, man!
It's really great to suddenly hear some awesome DnB from you!
The effects are great, and the acid sound really gave it a nice touch.
The piano really gave it a finishing touch! :D
You've made a good choice about the instruments, everything really fits.
Anyway, you've got something amazing going on here, keep it up man! :D

Stavier responds:

Haa, thanx! Yeah, I love this genre & I've been inspired enough to make one cuz all the other songs I've heard that are DnB are usually awesome. I'm really glad you liked the FX's cuz I did try addin' a lot of those. Yeah, the piano was like that touching transitional signal. I'm really glad you liked my instrumentation cuz I was like I hope I didn't add to much I'm tryin' to make this not sound jumbled up. Thanx for the review & I'll keep you updated on my next DnB song for sure.

[Keepin' the DUB in Dubstep.]

Wish I had a giant subwoofer...

That'd be great with this song.
It was really chill, although I didn't have a massive subwoofer, these headphones do just fine for this song! :D
That sub is sick, I love it, it's extremely trippy.
Anyway, great spacey song, keep it up man, this stuff is nice!

TimmyBlaze responds:

Hey thanks a lot man, I appreciate the feedback, especially positive feedback. My only self critique for my FIRST dubstep song is that the transitions could have been stronger. The vocal breakdown is corny as fuck too but I just needed filler. Thanks again man, and plenty more Timmy Blaze productions coming soon. :D

[sPhly - Untz Untz]

Catcheh

I really like it, it's got some nice catchiness and it's got awesome untzuntz :D
I liked the things you did with the panning here :D
Keep it up, man! ;D

Shoephly responds:

^^,

really glad you enjoyed it :)

hehe, so you noticed? just thought it was a nice touch, and it seems you agree ;D

Thanks for the awesome review, really appreciate it! :D

[DP - No more]

Wicked!

Perfect game/flash music! :D
I really love the dark atmosphere you've created here, and the heavy machine rythm really sounds perfect with the melodies.
I loved it, 15 awesomepoints :D

Maverlyn responds:

Woot XD

[[HappyHardcore]Faces]

Nice!

That's some nice happeh hardcore you've got there. Just some things that could use a little work.
The melodies are pretty much fine, they're all good, but first of all, it could use at least an open hihat between the kicks, and perhaps some closed ones in between all that. It gives it a somewhat fast-paced feeling.
Also, the bass was a bit too sharp. I recommend using more squares in it then saws, it's much easier to listen to. You could also slightly filter it (also with the squares) to reduce the 'annoying' higher frequencies. What also gives it a better sound, is slightly reducing the attack of the bass, so that the notes kinda fade in. If you do this, don't overdo it.
Also, during the breakdown, you could use some more nice hihats to fill up the beats. And I recommend taking another kick, a little softer, so that it will be a nice rest between the choruses.
Also, the second breakdown could use some more variation comparing it to the first. For the second one you could, for example, start it off with a nice impact or crashkick, then filled with a nice soothing piano melody, and then you slowly build up to the chorus. The lenght of the breakdowns was fine, by the way.
Longass review, what a pain, sorry for that :P
Anyway, the songs really nice, you put up a great concept here.
Keep it up!
5/5

haxory responds:

Hey man! I REALLY appreciate your review :) I've never had a review that I appreciate as much. This is what I call constructive. I'll keep those factors in mind when making new songs :)

Also, we're both from the netherlands.

[Dj Lithorph - Questionmark]

I really enjoy your music

I really do, but it's just that you could take a step or two out of your comfort zone. Your instrumentation and song structure are pretty much the same in a lot of songs. Maybe you could try a different bass or lead?
Anyway, you're doing really nice, I love your mixing methods sometimes :D
It just could use some more variation between different songs, or it will get monotonous.
Nice job! Keep it up!

Lithorph responds:

Yes, i know EXACTLY what you mean. I am working on alot of new stuff with new instruments atm. Dont worry :) But this one acually i did use more "New" samples then i use before. Even though they sound similar, i dont use the same bass, and the lead is 4 different leads layered ^^. But ill work on advancing to the next stage.

[Ultraviolet Rays]

Awesome-tha-bawesome!

Great beat, nice melodies, and a whole lot of happiness! :D
I wasn't bothered by the repetitiveness at all.
Like omega said, a slight bit of bass wouldn't make it worse, a nice and simple electro-ish bass, or just a simple offbeat one would do. Don't try to make it too loud, smooth and subtle would do fine in this song, because it already sounds rather finished without bass.
Anyway, the song is great, the melodies are really nice, and the happymeter was reaching it's limit.
This will be one for my favourites :D
5/5, DL

Stavier responds:

Wow, thanx you very mcuh. I'm glad I got bored & made this one for one. I'll see what I can do about the bass. I'm tryin' to get more of that upbeat feel & when I'm done with my next Dance song, it's gonna be upbeat to the extreme. Thanx again for reviewin' & favoriting it.
