Buoy's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Colour Grey]

bargh

I've listened to this twice now and when it comes to 1:52... LOWER THE INPUT VOLUME OF YOUR COMPRESSOR OR WHATEVER. That's seriously compressed as hell... at least you know how to somewhat master your songs lol, good thing it's not clippin'

nother thing is the cymbal being compressed with the other drums- that's not good, cymbals and hi drums should be free and open yo

ooooooooh that flute's magic

but I felt it was a bit too bangin' to be ambient... doesn't really have that relaxing feeling you know?

cool track

[SpK*) - Enema]

mmm

acidness yummy. great mix of different synths and basses

oooh jungly beats and tripphopy rhodes... mmmmmmmmmmm

lovely alltogether

this song's passion bro

[My Empire]

bah

That breathy voice needs some mastering or eq-ing... maybe de-essing would do the best. That beat sounds really sliced up... but it's not important. Bass is okay... organ synth has a really cheesy melody but the sound of it's alright. The whole sound of it is very plain, raw... spread some reverb around or fatten the synths, cause it still sounds really empty. Needs some shapin' up imo

[Retch]

Arrr

Niiiice stuff. That gated reese thing wasn't really of my liking, sounded really digital and stuff- well I'm just a "analog warmth" ftw guy so don't mind me. The reese is some awesome on-crack synthage though, absolutely of my liking. Cool detuned bass too, but it doesn't appear enuffr >:( Yay jungle beats.

Btw, still only using garageband? This's amazing shit if you did it with only that. Well if ya didn't... then it's still amazing ^^

Awesome work my good sire

Quarl responds:

lol. Ar, thanks for the review :D Yep, I'm still using just garage band and I pride myself on not using any samples. Good luck with your comp songs!

[Kolj-Veneration of the Unknown]

arr

been listening to this while doing other stuff for a while, the thing that made it sorta annoying was the massive aliasing of certain synths- make it sound bit whistly and annoying. Nevermind that, it's not important. Them drums are cool, watch out for the kick though, it's hardly audible when the bass is on. A lot of cool trance synths you've got, my suggestion is to lower the general amount of reverb, which makes some stuff infere with each other

Anyways lovable tune, feel freez to review me back

[bringing saxy back (final]

coooooool

Them sound effects you added to it sound mighty awesome my good sire. Some good use of synth too- cool new sax melodies. Ya got a very special, very interesting too, style. Good stuff

cheers bro,
much appreciated
;ped

[SR - 77]

omg

one of the most relaxing songs I've ever heard on ng yo

ain't got nothin' more to add than that

[Journey Through a Black Hole]

journey through a black hole huh

WELL I'M SURE THAT BLACK HOLE IS AN ASSHOLE LOL LOL LOL LOL!!!!111

Well anywayse. Reesey sounds good, nothin' much to comment there, though ya could tweak it a bit more for that awesomeness sound rite. Drums don't really sound dnb, well that's a pretty variated pattern but it's still just one loop repeeeeeetd. Cool synthage later onz too. Voicez add to that dramatic feeling

cool

[Hrrhd - Mixed]

whoa

LETS ALL INTRODUCE THE LISTENER TO THE MASSIVE REVERBED SQUARE LEAD WITH THE LOUDEST DRUMS MAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT

YEAH

YEAH

No really, that "intro" was incredibly fast- MOST people start from silence to whatever they're listening to, so if anyone's got it at a high level... well, ouch ;)

This song is cool though, but I feel you could like, start mixing up the feeling a little when it moves on, it's pretty much the same thing with a few variations through the song--- and that square lead sounds like an alarm, so it's gettin' stressed up as hell

[POTC (Trance Remix)]

cool

very generic sound of it, I like, can see it from a mile away. But it's a very interesting remix indeed. Some great drummage here, that reverse reverbed clappy is actually of my liking. The strings sound very raw and cheesy- you might want to get some better sounding strings or eventually shape em up with some reverb and chorus and whatnot

cool stuff, could use improvments
