Buoy's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[_-={Remember Us}=-_]

yay koto

wait- nay koto - actually I hate koto's - here it just sounds thin... but that's just my opinion.

Well except for that...

Jesus Christ what a massive orchestral monster! It seems to aggressively boost in volume and power when the strings get started.

Okay, the drummage here is great. Makes a very dramatical feeling. What samples do you use? cause I'm considering to buy/get some orchestral refill (which should include orchestral percussion)

Tubular bells yay.

Choir is a tad low when all that orchestral stuff comes right in my face. Yes, what samples do you use for you choir too.

Fantastic work as usual man. Good luck in the contest!

MaestroRage responds:

You don't like the Koto?!

:O?

Well I guess thats understandable. Then I suppose you don't like the Mandalin either. The two sound quite similar.

The orchestra samples are all East West Symphonic Orchestra Gold PRO. I do not think there is a refill for it. The percussion comes purely from that also. It's a 35 gig monster.

The choir in this was a mix and match of a few choirs. The dominant force behind it though is East West Symphonic Choirs!

I'm glad you liked the piece SBB, thank you for the review, and for the good luck!

[Dumbman MAX]

ouch

slow it down, I wanna hear how it actually sounds

X-ZON responds:

its just a super fast remix of Max 300 from DDR man

[{GBD} Below the Atmosphere]

betterer

I still don't see why you have a lot of disortion there :/

Flute is a good touch, but it doesn't seem to fit or sync the other things in the track. drums are good, man I've heard that certain trance drums buildup SO many time today- too much fruityloops <:D

This song is pretty good, but there's room for major improvement, especially when it comes to the mastering.

DoobyTimePiece responds:

hehehe, i dont use Fl. but i can under stand ware your coming from. im geting better. did i have distort an? dammit i need to watch my fing undo redo,but thanx for the review sbb.

[Atmonphere Loop]

OUCH!

Hardcore techno, terribly mastered and ridicolous melodies- holy shit it must be my nightmare XD

But honestly I don't like it at all. You might want to get away all the disortion in your song, and think of better melodies for your lead. This sounds like it's been compressed at an insane low bitrate...

Eh, I'll try with another song

[Darkness Walks (Gargreion)]

dark

yep, pretty dark. Intro is a bit long. Later you got a kickass industrial lead thing- it sounds badass. Sinebell is good too. Orchestral stuff sounds good. Hats are a bit too much, song could need to be dominated by harder, lower percussion. This actually would do very well for a character theme! Good work!

[NightVision Goggles]

ah

the trancelead in teh start is amazing- so high pitched, unmastered and annoying! XD

Well anyways, you have a good mallet-ish thing there. It sounds pretty mario-ish. Sweep is good too. Drums are extremely ghey, but whatever.

It shouldn't just stop in the start... well. The bass coming now is sounding pretty fat, nice note progressions on these. Only thing that bugs me is the trancelead thing, which sounds horrible.

Nice song, but I doubt this is much of trance or ambient.

[Dreams of Revenge]

wow

quite a scary track you've got there. Not a lot to say about it but it's kinda- offensive for sure- like it's going to get me lol. The bass sounds pretty good, some better drums would really do this track much better.

LollipopNightmare responds:

thank you for your comment.
>.<

[{SD} - Shades of Red]

what

how's this based on Karco's song. This sounds completely different to me.

okay that thing that sounds like it's got an frequency lfo with an 1/32 rate is kinda annoying, but it sounds quite good.

The basslead is a fucking monster, but you can overdo it even more for a giant mofo bass. Triangle-ish lead, k, it's a bit uncalled for but whatever.

good work, but I really think you can do a lot more with this- also end your song, it just stops

ShirkDeio responds:

The bass is the same (note-wise) and the kicks are the same as Karco's Aurora.

As for the "thing that sounds like it's got a frequency..." etc. etc. I like it too, sorry it's so annoying >_<

Don't cuss.

Yeah, I thought the bass was a, uh...monster. I should probably tone it down, eh?

Thanks for the review!

[Electrick - Tranquillity]

absolutely love it!

This tune really is amazing! The lil synth you have sometimes makes an awesome VG feel. Again I think this has a lot of ambient influences. I'd love to see this in some kind of sky level in a game- you know, rainbow road in mario kart right? :D

Piano break is great too. Very long, but beautiful. It almost sounds like a classical piano lol.

Great drums, though really repetitive. a bit loud maybe?

As I said, awesome work. Definatively downloaded. You have a damn lot of talent! (hey check out my music too if you have the time :)

Electrick responds:

Hey man, thanks for the great review!

What can I do about the drums dude? I mean, it's trance. You cant really change it up a lot like this.

Still, thanks for the review. I'll check out your sh*t later today.

[Electrick - Morphology]

reviewed

This sounds much more trancy. Loved the marimba you had in the start, made some kind of ethnic feeling. I wish you kept that there through the whole track :(

Okay, the trance lead you've got in there sounds pretty good, but you should really change it up. It's much more exciting when you have different melodies right? Oh man that supersaw thingy later sounds great

Drums sound real trancy. Good work on them, though I've always preferred realistic sounding drums. Your synth drums sound good though.

Good fx too.

Bass is a little boring, it's just the same shit going over again and again.

Great work again.

Electrick responds:

I just realized that the bass was quite bad when i uploaded it. Sorry for that, it may happen again, but mostly not.

Thanks for the review!
