T-rebel's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dubstep - Fl0at]

Pretty wicked stuff, all 'round. I have a few minor qualms about the timbre of the synths you picked. I found they were lacking a bit of depth (particularly the lead that comes in at 0:32 and the one that comes in gradually around 1:08 and again around 3:15), also I thought there wasn't enough going on at the low end of the bass (though that could be my speakers). Finally, I thought you might have added a bit more compression and volume to your kick, and maybe to the clap/snare hit; couldn't hear it well when the other synths started getting louder after the 3:30 mark. Outside of those (mostly personal preference) issues, I think it's a pretty damn flawless track.

trunotfals responds:

WOW thank you for that feedback! I'll try those mixing suggestions! I worked really hard on the lead, I really need studio monitors though to hear all these small things. Thank you so much!

[SF2 - Guile's Theme]

This is criminally underrated. As far as I'm concerned, congratulations on setting the bar for Guile theme remixes.

You really just tried to throw too many voice samples together at once, IMO. If they gave out points for adding vocal samples, you'd have the top submission of the month, I'm sure. You even did a decent job integrating them (considering how impossible that task is). You also waaay over used that 'gunshot' hit. Still, when you let the pad run with just one/two voice sample running or just had the piano playing, it was great. The first few minutes were just total cacophony, though. Last 2:30: 5/5. first 2:30 2/5, so you get 3.5 from me overall.

[Orion's Dealt]

So the individual pieces of this weren't bad, but it's put together kinda awkwardly, IMO. Your lead is pretty repetitive (though it has a neat timbre); you only have two short melodies that run throughout, and on the same lead. You kept the same pad and sweep going for way too much of the track, and it's way too loud; I can barely hear the kick drum over them.

Also, I'd believe you about the vocals... if there were vocals.

[rise of the bad moon]

I think you need to fade the vocals a bit (if you have FL Studio, the 'fade stereo' option might work for you), anyway his vocals are really compressed and it's a decent enough cover that it'd be worth cleaning them up a bit. I think your buddy was too close to the mic, unfortunately, but if you have his vocals and guitar on separate tracks, you should be able to do it. Nice cover, though!

sixshadowsix responds:

i think you read that wrong its me lol but yes i am aware of the vocals being jacked but it was like between 1 and 2 in the morning and my g/f is sleeping so i had to be all quiet about it thanks for the complement and constructive criticism i love getting comments and reviews

[If Trees Could Gossip]

Awesome job all 'round. Only things I'd nit-pick on slightly are the snare and clap-snare you used; they seemed a bit too compressed or maybe a bit too loud. Plus, though I found the lead you chose really interesting, I felt like you could have varied it a bit more in the first minute. It got much more varied after that.
I loved that beat -- super original. I liked the way to kind of started it as simply as possible and gradually filled it out. Great work, man!
4.5 for the review, but I voted 5.

[Falcon Punch]

The lead was pretty awesome, but I woulda liked to hear it take a back seat once or twice. Yeah, you did a great job of changing up the melody throughout the track, but I kinda felt that having just one timbre carrying it throughout was a bit monotonous. Maybe if you'd put in just one section where the lead gets "chorus" FX on it or something... I dunno, it's totally up to you whether you want to change anything because frankly this does stand alone as it is. Great work all 'round. 5/5 vote.

[CAT TRVP - Primal]

I kinda feel like your lead has a weird timbre that kind of contrasts the rest of the track. It's an interesting vibe, though; kinda like desert wind meets dub-step. The only thing I'd say could use a bit of work is that I found your lead a bit too overpowering; downed out even the bass on a few occasions. Also, I thought it could have used a more creative ending; as it is right now, it just sort of... stops. All told, though, it's pretty well mastered, so you got 4.5 from me (voted 5).

Enteroar responds:

Thanks for the feedback. :) Interesting! I thought the main lead was too soft mainly but I guess it may vary on speakers!
Yea, this is just the shorter "radio cut", full original is extended in the beginning and end.
Thanksss again.

[cold hearted]

Did you stereo fade the voice track? It's kinda garbled, I think. Beat's great, lyrics (from what I can hear properly) are pretty decent. I just think you need to bring the voice track more to the forefront of the track. It can't be a volume issue, the brass sounds like it's at the right level, and the voices don't sound too weak, just... garbled. If you can fix that up you got all my 5's.
