Buoy's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Into The Eclipse]

YES.

You know what was awesome? The first 40 seconds. When the higher notes were introduced, well that kinda disrupted the mood imo. Especially the note at 2:05. I think you should remove that. But like from 0:30 to 0:40. I kinda felt proud of you there. I think you should expand on that kinda feel, with the deep pad stuff and the ambience. Very debusy-like, and I love that. The rest of the intro is good too but I mean you really nailed it there. There's that certain almost brass-like sound that I've grown to love which is why I like this particular piece a lot

After like 4 or 5 minutes the piece pretty much fell apart and at 6 minutes you just started doing that pad stuff which I don't like too much. BUT I GET IT, the guy's dying or something so it does kinda fit.

The reverb effect is nice, doesn't really sound realistic or add depth but it adds a pleasant washing sound. Did you record ambience from the airport or did I read that wrong. If it's the former you certainly get points for originality.

but yeah you're definitively making progress, even if you insist on only ever making slow long drone songs ;)

FatKidWitAJetPak responds:

This is kind of a half drone half not haha. I will always be making ambience, and sooner or later move on to some dubstep *Because i love dubstep and its easy to make apparently*.

Here is a list of all the things I recorded:

Breathing
Stuff inside of the airplane I was on
Popping my finger out of a bottle
Typing on my keyboard
Talking to a government official about the difference between playing the bass and making electronic music

The last one is my favorite, lol. Since I only make all this stuff in Garageband, I am a bit limited but I am learning SOOO much right now. I am figuring out how to piece everything together. Once I get an Akai keyboard I can truly achieve some songs. :)

Thanks for teh review SBB.

[NP - No Time For Pants]

well

The song is good I suppose. But the title is just too great.

[Visionary [Original Mix]]

omg

The mix of the bass and that percussion thing in the very first second sounds so nice and crunchy and well rounded. Best attention-grabber sound I've heard all day.

The strings sound a bit flabby. I can't hear if you put sidechained compression on them or if you achieved the effect from pure overcompression.

I love the intro, just because the percussion sounds so nice. Good tune.

[Japanese Fields]

This loop

It's nice.

Step responds:

Cool.

[xKore - Stress]

actually

the time signature of this song seems to be 13/bullshit.

[[dB] Feelin' Trippy]

haha

how sbb-esque indeed. Amusingly so actually. Were you influenced by me or something? :P

I really like the feeling of the song, but there isn't really a lot more to it. I know it's just an experiment but it sounds like it has a lot of potential still.

Decibel responds:

Actually yeah, I was extremely influenced by you, I hear Absent-minded all the time, so I guess I drank in the song juice :P

Potential? Really? Aww, shucks =)

Thanks for stopping by =)

*EDIT*
Lol Supersteph54 is complaining because you gave me a 10 on a song which i worked on for around an hour and gave him a 9 on a song he worked on for months.

[deciBel]

[- Real Hip-hop -]

nice

Love the chillout grooves. NIce and laidback. Very nice listen :D

Greeksta-69 responds:

Thanks buddy!

[Frozen 0ver]

haha

Really cool. It walks the thin line between genius programming and random sounds put together. I'm enjoying them sub bassy elements, and everything generally sounds very crisp.

jkap1 responds:

Thanks for the encouragement man.

[[DJ_ITD] - Physics]

this is awesome

I love it so much! It's been a long while since I've downloaded something from Newgrounds but this is really something I'll enjoy listening to in the future. Please tell me if you have more songs like these?

djInTheDark responds:

Yes I have many more!... but they kind of don't exists yet. :[ I would have to say its the first of its kind that I've written. Hopefully I will write something equally good if not better than this one in the future, but so far not - nothing very similar to this particular song. Who knows. Thanks for the review!
