Envy's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[LTM² - Try This, With A Coke]

Amazing

This song is awesome man! You always amaze me with your percussion man! Even though it sounds like all fl defaults, it's still crazy original. This song was just awesome, it was exciting, it changed up a lot, and it was catchy! Awesome work man! You're definately a HUGE underdog here on the AP. If you had some more people noticing your work, you could be huge! Upload more songs, man!

ListenToMyMusic responds:

It takes me a while to think of new melodies and stuff, that's where I lack. I can't make enough songs to be recognized

Good Bye, Eat Pie

[Hyperdestructive]

Cool

Sounded pretty good except some of the melodies, at the start especially, kind of clashed a little bit.

I have a question, it sounds a lot like you use vanguard... I think I hear the Scream For more synth, and alpha lead and such... Do you? Or are there similar sounds out there (Which I'm sure)

You sound so much like Dimrain it's crazy, except I think you try and keep the basic melody of the song going so it doesn't sound TOO random then simply break off into synth solos here and there... Some of the offbeat stuff was cool, but then again some of it didn't sound too good... But nice work, man.

NightHawk22 responds:

Yeah I used vanguard, but it was not scream, it was the beast.
thanks for the review,

[¡Jarvid!-Mario goes ackopellah]

Hmmmm

I'm very suprised you have not gotten signed yet for a work like this, my friend!

heh, but seriously, what are they all saying?

Was a clever idea, but didn't sound so clever to the ears...

Jarvid responds:

i love you

Too Midi-ish

It almost sounds like you just took the midi, and placed instruments on it... Doesn't sound too much of an attempt to REMIX it.

But it was good nonetheless, catchy melody and such.

Next time try going all out on the remix, adding percussion, change it up a little.

But still not bad.

TMM43 responds:

I was going for a remake rather than a remix.

This talk of a remix inspires me to make one... Thanks a lot for your contribution.

[The BassHunter Song XTreme Mix]

Mastering much?

This song would definately be atleast 25 times better with a little mastering... Its simple, throw a compressor or two in there, to clear it up atleast...

Anyways, the song itself was nice, but was so muddy I wasnt really sure what was going on, it all kinda blended together! But I could really feel alot of effort comin off of it. I espeicially like the triplet melody, and the piano... But again, the mastering kinda threw me off...

You are using FL studio, right? I really like the strings and pads you used... And the plucked sound near the middle was real nice. But again mastering! BLEH, mastering can make or break a song... And in your case, it came damn near to breaking it. Seriously, upload a mastered version, and it would sound like a totally different song. There was a lot of diversity throughout the song though... Oh well, Keep up the good work I guess.

DJ-DaVinster responds:

I guess we should've put a compresser in there, sorry.

Yeah, we were using FL Studio. Thanks for the compliments!

Thanks for the review, I might put a mastered version up here if I have time to compress it.

[HARD Sands]

Ehmmm

I wouldnt exactly say rave... its a bit erm... light to be a rave? I guess thats how i can put it... Try using a fruity blood overdrive on the bass, or kick, and arp... Turn the preamp all the way up, and turn down the volume of the blood overdrive to about 1/3 or so, so it doesnt make you go deaf... it will add a huge amount of oomph to everything... Besides that... Try to change it up a little more, perhaps raise the bass up one octave, so it doesnt sound so distorted, and put a slight phaser on it. But thats all entirely up to you...

In the meantime, keep up the good work!

sonicxtreme responds:

thanks for your help

[Blooming]

Cool

I dont usually listen to the heavy metal section, but the whole advertisement thread review thing is in order!

But i actually liked this one!

I love the sound of the guitar, and how calm it is at the start! Its just so nice and calm and everything, than i even like it when it picks up! The only thing i'd have to say is the bass in the backround, you can really hear it distinctly, which I dont think you should be able to hear it that much, but I dont know much about heavy metal. But nice work man, this was pretty cool!

darkkloud responds:

im glad you liked it, i wrote this song when i was 13, and it was difficult for me to remember how to play it, its actually a bit longer then this, but i forgot 2 parts of the song lol, originally though it was without bass, cause my bassist....well...i fired him before i finished the song, so i decided just drums and guitar, but i added bass for this recording.

[TAA-IDMish lol]

Pretty cool

The drums were pretty well arranged, although the rolls were a bit random at times (try to stay away from random rolls, keep it to like quarter or measure rushes with the snare maybe, especially with that loop, it sounds cool.

Listen to my song Glitchcore for examples. (Although I didnt put as much "Glitch" as you did here, i used a little.

Anyways, I dont really like the bassline you used, it seemed a bit muffled and you couldnt really make out a distinct pattern.

When the strings came out, that was probably the high point for me, it made everything kind of blend together. Nice work on this one ^.^ The drums were well done, and everything. Keep it up.

5'ed

TheAmateurAnimator responds:

Thanks...I agree that I might have overdone it on the rolls. Too much of a good thing is bad.

Cool

This Song has been remixed so many times my head hurts, but this was a good addition to the remix book. I like the 3x osc (thats the bass right?) I can never get the sound i want out of the 3x osc... I donno why. The crowd sample didnt really move me too much... The high pitched girl screaming that stands out in the sample you used didnt really fit in... I like just the sound of a crowd overall with no screaming, just crowd... Yknow?

The original parts you put in were really well done, I really like the crisp sound of the piece overall. And the glitch added to the vox was a real nice addition, it was awesome. Sounded very professional and was a nice break from the rest of the song, but I think after that glitch instead of fading out you should have brought just her voice from the start again back in with the "Dont make a sound blah blah" than brought in the piano solo, I think that would have been cool. But i can really feel the effort here! Nice job. 9/10 5/5

P.S. didnt like the little diddydoop thing at the end... the last few notes ^.^

GroundForce responds:

[Experament]

hmmmm

I like the use of so many different arps and such, but still a little random! Should try automation clips, they'll make everything so much smoother when you can fade and such. I really liked the trancey thing about halfway through. It was real nice... i think you should build a song off that, that would be real cool. Anywho! Nice work! Just work on those key elements of FL and you should be fine.

HiniberusDelius responds:

Okay I'll work on it, just remember I had the demo at the time so I'll have to start from scratch. Hopefully I'll make it better though when I start it again.
