dr-vibe's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[In the morning[checkers]]

impressive!

i really enjoyed the sounds here... i'm going to have to take a look at milkytracker myself lol.. i loved the bass and the chords, and it was smooth, flowing, and altogether well made.... i'm going to have to look into those sounds, haha, i've been searching for something kinda like that =)

overall, pretty good, make it much longer... and maybe add some vocals (japanese, maybe?) if you want help with vocals, though, i'll be glad to help =)

Azezo responds:

Well, the kick and the snare samples were from a 90's Radix module, and the other samples were drawn by me in milkytracker (milkytracker has a really handy sample editor).

[Electric Bedtime Story]

lolz... funny lol

so, um, as your use name is Snooglebum, i'm going to assume this was a serious track, and so i will take it as seriously as possible (lol...)

it's hollow. that means you need to add some sort of bass into the mix. also, something rhythm-like would help. like an ARP? or a euro gate? i'm not sure for this kid of music... but yeah. and make it actually move... feels like your song is sitting in one place because it's lazy lol...

Snooglebum responds:

It's not supposed to be any sort of dance song or a song with a heavy bass, it's a lullaby, it's supposed to be gentle and soothing.

Thanks for the review!

[weird techno mix]

needs improvement

i'm actually not a huge fan, here. i'm actually thinking your main sounds are way to loud, and there isn't enough bass... and it doesn't climax like it should. think of a song like a mountain... you spend the whole song climbing it... and you can see the top, and your anticipating it... and when you get there (3/4 of the way trough a 3 minuet song, usually) you take a moment to take in the wonderful view... and then you Ski down! Weeeeeeeeeeee!!!

lol

01Glitch01 responds:

this was the first song that i made on mixcraft, so i knew that it wasnt that good i just put it on to see what people think

[A Party at the Beach]

hmm... i forseee greatness lol

-2 points because it's just loops.
but this is really good, and the mastering is good... again, if you ever need me to record a guitar track for you, i'll be more than happy, i can record electric or acoustic, driven or clean =)
i really like the drums though, they fit with the guitar, but i think the bass should be less heavy... and by heavy i don't mean metal, you should use some kind of lift on it... if your using mixcraft that may not be an option, but i have the right software for that... i would love to collaborate with you sometime =)

01Glitch01 responds:

ok thanks for the review

[The Sun Goes Down]

Pretty well... Pretty lol

i really like this one... i think the transition near the beginning is too... sudden lol.
other than that this is a really good ambiance track =) well done =)

btw, is the guitar real? it's hard to tell in the intro, it's fairly real sounding but electric 12 strings are rare enough, and i've never heard one with that few harmonics in the sound... if not electric, it must be a VERY nice acoustic =)

01Glitch01 responds:

no the guitar is not real all of the music that i've made so far has been made on mixcraft

[Smooth Roads (finished)]

I speak on behalf of everyone who isn't a loser =)

this is exceptionally good... but new grounds is full of what i like to call "heavy heads"... people who only like the hard rave techno stuff... it's good to know that there are other real musicians on new grounds, haha. i would love to work with you sometime =) if you ever want a *real* guitar or saxophone, piano or orchestra track, feel free to ask, please do, i'll record you one in a heartbeat =)

and i'm pretty sure the reason you don't get many reviews is because of all the heavy head losers who just ignore these kinds of music or rate them 1/5 because they don't like the genera =)

01Glitch01 responds:

hey thanks it would be nice if you could send me some tracks, but i dont know if you can. ill pm u about it.

[Want To Kill(beta.! Preview.!)]

well done!

i'll be watching this track... and if you need anything from your humble apprentice feel free to ask...

but i will NOT sing lol... not yet. i need to be alone to sing this one lol...
very nice lyrics though =)

combatplayer responds:

lol thanks.. and "humble apprentice" ?!? NICE.. xD

and i like the story of the lyricks too... just need to fix some of the ryhms.. n u definatly need to be alone for this one xD (some of the lyicks are maybe to be yelled or screamed the rockish style lol)

[A Matter Of Grey ((Final))]

well done!

i loved how you did the percussion, your ending was definitely unexpected, but it worked just fine =). the song is enjoyable, and will most definitely make it to my iPod, good job!

by the way, it that Toxic Biohazard's iron piano at the end? if your going to use something as powerful as ToXBio, then try making some of your own synths, get creative =)

8/10
4/5

duffman0150 responds:

I actually did make all my synths I use mostly sytrus and 3xocs. I really appreciate you help btw. Thx again.

[Playing With Destiny]

exilarating

really a truly great piece of art... if only it wasn't digital. if you rented a real grand and a drum set and an orchestra ($3,000 for a day's rental, ugh. xD) and a recording hall. then this would be an awesome song.

by the way, why haven't you posted the newer version? it would probably get better scores... it's more epic than this one =)

combatplayer responds:

lol thanks m8. i did have an erly vertion of the new vertion up here a while ago. but the score was suckky n ppl dident visit it. so took it down. but i might get the newest one up here later on =P i like this vertion too tho. it have another feal to it n is more relaxed.

[~RainyDay~]

very interesting.

have you seen the movie "Up"? this sounds like exactly the song that would play in one of the sadder scene in that movie. not rainy though. naw.

-1: not what it was titled to be
-1: instrument could be much better, and a real violin would do you wonders...

very good, just get better synths and write a little more variation
oh, and a tremolo (guitar effect, not referring to a whammy bar) on your rhythm instrument there

RaREaniMoSiTY responds:

Haha yeah i've seen that movie. Good idea :O I was making it during a thunderstorm so thats what set the mood, but it would also make a great addition to a sad scene aswell :)

I'm working on getting improved synths, just lacking the monies :C
Glad you enjoyed it :)
