Box-Killa's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[e99] Boreal Existence(ng mix)]

awesome

great beat, original, could use a bit more mastering though :D

e991e responds:

Thanks Box

[[FAST] Drum Loop]

lolz

cool, maybe i will use it in one of my songs sometime

[Fertile Grounds and Open Skies]

lol yea

Lol those wierd voices that dont make sense, kinda cliche Imho

anyway... "stop making glitch/ambient and make something different rant here"

Lol those hat's at like 1:08 made me lol.

You need to just chuck a giant wobble bass in there somewhere, like PX9 style :0

Yeah, the quality was pretty good, but the quality was a bit clearer on the last track

Well then

Yeah and a pro tip with the drums, you should add percussion, mix it up a lil and it will sound so much better.

lol i said pro tip, how egoistic of me lol

well i made a song, just go to my page and check it out, its the latest one

you should also work a bit on stereo shapping! bwaa

like say for example, pan the snare to the left a bit, and then the hat to the right, something like that.

for example, this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCKg_q 1Sk9s&feature=related

You should also go for some complex melody lines some of the time

Do you know what a mode is? they can really help you expand on creativity in melody making, instead of just mucking around until you find something you like

experiment with playing different notes over other notes, like have a bass play a D over and over, and then get say a piano to play an e and then a d# or something like that

just trying to help you create something original and nice,

well anyway

take a look at that song i made.

have a good Christmas

buby!

SessileNomad responds:

well the lyrics make sense to me because i know the story behind them xD

i fucking love playing with hats like that

meh i play with stereo shaping in some of my tracks, just not in this one

modes are very hard to write in because most of the time it sounds like your hitting the wrong note, modes take away tonic notes and leading tones so its very hard to make melodies in modes...at least for me

playing the d note over and over and over is called a pedal tone and i usually stay away from them, they cause alot of repetitiveness, the only time u use them is when a pad or somthing is using the same note, but changes the main chord it does...if that makes sense..horay

also....lol d, d#, and E, you know how hard it would be to make a melody with those notes involved, the only way i would do it is if i were playing in like E minor and i wanted to sharp the seventh degree of the scale, which i would not be doing very often xD

ill check it

peace out

[Dj Harlock// CURA]

awesome

good equ'ing. I like that flowwing bass and drums. The bass could be abit louder though. The drums overpowered the bass, but i really wanted to hear that bass. That breakdown thing near the start was awesome. then that kick ass gated pad came in. Good job. The bass needs to be louder for that 10 though.

[Street Epic]

original

Yeah it was pretty rad, i liked that scratchy thing.

Although the song feels like it needs to go down, like there should be a melody with lower notes. a key change perhapse?

DJ-Chilvan responds:

Hmm, that sounds like a good idea. I might implement that in my next beat. Thanks!

[BH- Robed Figure Battle 01]

wierd :D

I hope you didn't just midi rip this and chuck some nexus presets on it. IT does sound really nice though

I like the distant toms, they sounded really nice

Well keep up the good work

also you should play around with sterio shapper and make some of those synths a bit clearer. XD

If you are not busy, would you be able to take a look see at my new track :D

Thanks

[BH- Robed Figure Battle 02]

cool

The song is very long, maybe you could sum it down a bit and get really good interesting song. Like have something change every 2 bars, instead of this long repeditive sort of thing.

You should experiment with chorus and sterio shapper, it can make all the difference :D

[SN| Riptide Projection |SN]

yea

It was ok. I wasn't really a fan of the quick fade out's here and there. It needs a good melody, not just spastic drums. It seems like you just have drums, and then some random tunes here and there. You should play with sterio shaper, particularly on your drums, they seem a bit mono.

I particularly didnt didnt like the snare and the hats. The snare didnt have enough ka to it, and the hat seemed like a tamborine

I liked what the drums actually played, but I didn't really like there sound. You should also experiment with having multiple drum sounds, esspecially if your songs are going to be mainly drum bassed.

also good to see you actually put this in dnb and not ambient. lol

well peace out, hope you improve. Untill next time my friend.

SessileNomad responds:

i have a good melody....

well i had tambourines and hats ging, so mabye you just couldnt hear the hats...mabye

yeah this one deserved to be in dnb

thanks for review dude

[==(Drifting)==]

YES

That bass.... OHHHHHHHH AHHHH FAHHHHHHHH MMMMMM

Sorry I just need to say ptang bang woooooo, bt pt pt, ptk ptk pssss

That Bass = KING

I love it so bad. This is my all time fav fav song of ures. Awesome job.

Lol my blabbling, sorry, just soooo good.

Although, it's not just the bass that is really good, that guitar synth sorta lead is really good. The melody really suits the song. It is also Kinda wierd because the bass sorta plays its own melody, and then you have this other melody like in a different layer.

It's sorta like there is 2 layers of the song, the front, bass part, and then the atmosphere part, like with the pad, effects, drums, etc

Glad to see some good jazz on newgrounds.

One thing I wonder, how did you get such a nice realistic bass sound. Was it recorded??

what vst's do you use? Or did you make this in reason?

Well this was awesome, sorry for my vain blabblings, but I couldnt help it.

I should go and re-read this review, and make is easier to read, meh lol
