Belthagor's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[SolidMovement - K - 6919]

To help you pick a genre: I would choose dance genre. (EDM specifically.) It's very nice and sounds futuristic, although IDK if that is what you were going for. Pacing and tempo is good, changes in tempo are good. I like the fastest parts most. Nice consistant wavelength. Could use more drums, I think it would make it sound more natural, but then again that might not be what you're going for. Did you make this in fl studio? What did you use? Also I know you wrote this isn't game music, but it could be good for a racing game on loop. Idk what else to write, I can't find any obvious flaws in it. Great work 5/5.

[A Town Called Mayshire]

Very nice work as usual. Is it based on an existing video game, and did you make this for our project?

MajorMusic responds:

You can use it for your project if you wish, but I made this just because I could.

[T.E.O.M. - Newgrounds Anthem (Produced By TheEyeOFMusiK)]

Pretty good. Kind of like a better, urban or hip hop version of an old dos game Ost.

[Beeps n' Bass]

Melody is nice, favorite part 1:46-2:14. Being a novice musician, I am probably one of the few reviewers that have their automatic bass boost effect turned off in windows, so I can rate this a 5/5 without any effects on. Could be good for background music while playing need for speed or some other racing game, it just gives me the racing vibe ya know, speed up, slow down. Volume is good, changes in volume and velocity are good. I would extend the last few seconds by a bit, making it a slower fade out, but that's only my personal taste.

ShockblastDeluxe responds:

Thanks for the input!

[T.E.O.M. - Grustler (Produced By TheEyeOFMusiK)]

Good work on volume level, for some reason when I make stuff the wavelength never gets that wide. Did you use FL Studio to make this? If you use FL, I would recommend adding an audio spectrum, and posting it on youtube to increase your fanbase.
Melody is flawless, reverb could be upped a bit. I am impressed that this has vocals, although few, since most of the tracks on newgrounds are purely instrumental. 5/5.

[Days past by]

Very good melody and rhythm. Song volume and volume changes are fine. I'm impressed you made this in only 3 days. What software did you use to make this? I like part 1:20-1:33 most, and the ending as well. The only thing I would improve is make it longer, because it was nice to listen to. Wavelength only means differences in volume left and right, so you shouldn't be worried about not having a symmetrical wavelength. The song could use a bit more reverb imo, maybe a delay effect as well, but that's purely advice based on my tastes. Idk what else to say, it was pretty good. 5/5

KrinnValKhristi responds:

Thank you Belthagor! What a great review! Thanks! I am using Ableton 9, and all of the tracks are live instruments except the drums, which I used Superior Drummer 2.0.

I am still kinda new at it. I have been using SD for years, but still can't seem to handle it right lol... Well, I suppose it comes down to really knowing how to EQ drums. I still don't have it yet I don't think.

Thanks again for your feedback, it really inspires me.

[Maria]

A little too distorted in the beginning but that's not a major issue. Could use an echo in some places. Melody is unique and sounds good, and I also like that you avoid repeating too many notes. Ending alone gets a 5/5 from me. The track could be longer though, maybe add auto-tuned vocals in it as well. The only other thing I would add is: try playing around with pacing, some parts fast paced, some parts slower paced, instead of the same rhythm throughout most of the song.

Great job, and good luck! -R4R.

[Happy Hollow]

I am a Mario fan, and this is pretty good. Fast paced, matches the theme of the game. You have a whole 7 seconds of silence at the end of the track, 01:57 / 02:05, and I'd remove that so it sounds a bit more professional. Volume of audio is fine, but I would make more differences in volume, some parts increase/decrease. A great tip I can give is: post what program and vsts you used to make this in the description. Aside from all that, great job 4.5/5.

GoToMyNewAccount responds:

I agree with the volume thing. It could be better. Next song I'll take that into consideration. I also took your advice on the plugins list. However, the fade out in the track is due to Newgrounds loop function not working very well anymore.

I really appreciate your review. Thank you!

[Don't Sleep]

I never listened to grunge before but this isn't very melodic...

FUNKbrs responds:

It's not really metal or punk either. I always tell people this is my dad rock band because everyone else in the band has a bunch of kids and a good job.

I'm basically a ringer in this band.

[Creepy Jack in the Box]

Very good reverb. Reminds me of a track I did in the past... 5/5
