Belthagor's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

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.

[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

[Summer Breeze]

I'm getting sleepy after looping it a few times, it's super effective. 5/5 :D

What did you use to make this?

MajorMusic responds:

A piano and my hands!

[Nocturne No. 1]

It's night where I am, and this goes well with the setting. Great work.

The only thing I would do differently is slow down the tempo (gradually) as the track progresses.

*hums along*

5/5

MajorMusic responds:

That sounds like an excellent idea.
