Buoy's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Karco -- Aurora --]

wowza

Maybe I've changed my mind since the review at tmr but I don't care about that now.

That wind sample in the start, get your lowpass filter/EQ and take away the most high-frequent noise, casue in ts current state it's ear-raping and unpleasant

I see you didn't do much with the kick- it still bugs me. The tune is friggin fast, it's the kind of tune I can't sit in my chair and relax with. If you took the kicks on each second beat instead of every one it would surely sound more downtempo, but damn much heavier

Thin detuned sawtoothpaste, it's okay but still... thin. Both the lead and the element are thin- at least for the lead you coulda used a massive amount of oscillators playing as one- then detune the whole thing for a kickass lead, that's what kind of ideas I get of it. The polysynth sounds great. What's it called, isn't is eura/euro-something?

Base is as you could expect without a single tweak- it's okay

Arpeggiated low frequent supersaw sounds good, dreamy and all. Why do people happen to make that exact rhytmic pattern when they arpeggiate synths?

Don't really think it's that great. It's a quality tune for sure but I really like stuff like Troposphere and Nova better. You could want to try my suggestions, I might be very wrong tho

now fo that classical thingy

Karco responds:

You reviewed this song twice? Heh, ok. :P

Yeah, the wind's a bit too loud. It deserves a bit more experimenting than what I gave it.

You're not supposed to relax to this kind of song... ;) Hmm. I gave the kick thing a try, and it definitely works as you say it would, but not for this kind of genre. I could actually make a song out of that idea, though... >:) Maybe. I'll try it with a nice, heavy kick once I get a good one to experiment with.

Sawtoothpaste. :D It's supposed to be thin, not some overpowering, (not even the good way) uplifting, mega-synth like in other songs. Something quieter for the interlude. It's the Ayla Lead preset in Vanguard, though it actually sounds like some kind of acoustic guitar on some kinds of speakers. :O

The rhythmic pattern is an automatic thing - I guess the three-note-chord-on-two-octaves thing might be common?

Hmm. Well, thanks for the extra criticism - you already reviewed on The Music Repository but this review's just as appreciated - if not more - because it's often hard to write two decent reviews that aren't exactly the same on the same song. ;) So thanks a lot. :D

[SR - Mars]

yayzzz ^__________^

spacy idm ambients ftw ^_________^

nice tune, great drummage- wowza you're getting more kingbastardic for every song you make, great sound effects too

short review for undefinable song ftw ^__________^

5/5 ftw ^__________^

SineRider responds:

Sweeet thanks for all the faicz

^____________^

[TS-Colorwaves]

niiiiiice

sure it sound like there's a lack of equipment since you're only using very basic waveform synths- but damn the use of triangle and sine is good. Drums sound good but they could use a lil eq and comp to sound more boofy

nice composition and synths and melodies and construction and general song and all that stuff, nice

triangleshower responds:

thanx a lot!

[[MS] - Blue Oiled Potatoes]

gah

yayz finally got to use a laptop

wtf defines the NASA genre

k. I've been listening to this tune for quite a while but haven't got to comment yet- This piece of awesome has a great calming, chill feeling. Prolly because of the water effects. Nice sounding drum samples and patterns, fx sounds wicked awesome too. A bit lack of melody which makes it sound more like a rhytmic soundtrack.

what LJC said, get signed n shit-this has amazing quality

MackerelSalad responds:

NASA = teh win
I think I'm gonna start working on a NASA EP with some other laddies.
I'm not planning on trying to get signed yet, I really lack skills at the moment, and I have a very slow pace of producing.
Thanks for the review, man!
I appreciate it.

[Zero Clapper Music]

damn

a bit shitty drums only tune... sounds presetish with random drum patterns. You would want to get a bit of knowledge about basic drum patterns and stuff before you go all random like that... oh and you might want to make something that's made of more than drums

sorta predictable and stuff since you only seem to be using one pattern with automation... gah

[Anyway]

muh

I rarely see real recorded stuff at ap...

well the voices are frigging messy and sound like you've filtered away major parts, it sounds a tad low in the volume- lotsa disortion there too

guitar, kay the chords seem to fit the song pretty well, and they sound nice too

drums are a tad weak but make a nice rhytm and groove

bass seems synthish

The idea is great but the mastering is just.... a lil bad. I don't usually listen to this kind of stuff anyways so.. a weak 4/5

[Happy Again]

as I said

Must... anal rape... kitties... AAARGH

Father-of-Death responds:

god that would be the best dlash ever!!!

but P.E.T.A. would be pissed bout it....

[|ag| (Universe)]

wait

the synth you used in the start- wtf is it called, it sounds like a saw or something- what's it called?

Nice tune, it's very much like other techno/trance tunes. a bit low sound quality maybe, sounds blended. It has quite an interesting build with many parts which is sorta exciting sorta annoying.

Absolutely love your synth choice except for that insane hypersaw thingy which just went overboard

alertG responds:

That would be basic subtracting with LFO. I might have edited it a little though.

I didn't think it went 'overboard', but meh.

[[TMM43] Feel in Trance]

wow

crappiest kick I've ever heard. It sounds like a click. The actual songyness is okay, but it seems like you try hiding it behind a mass of people clapping and yaying. Which I don't think they would when hearing the song :/

Nice little lead, could need some multiplying and detuning etc to sound fat and catchy

TMM43 responds:

Well, if you've ever listened to Benny Bennassi, you would know that that is his signature kick...

I;m sorry that you feel this way about this song. I tried.
Thanks for your review though! I really appreciate it.

[[TMM43] Heavy (?)]

meh

Making DnB without making everyone complain about it not being 100% DnB is an nearly impossible challenge, but you failed a bit more than most- Cause you turned it 100% techno lol

I can't say I like it at all, there's way too much disortion and clippage, your synth choice is interesting tho- but that's it. It's repetitive and boring.

You can easily turn it into something trippy by adding basic stuff like leads and other synthasizz

TMM43 responds:

SBB, Thanks for the review. It's greatly appreciated.
Yes, I have failed, miserably! haha.
I'm sorry you feel this way about this song. Yes, I will admit, it's repetative, and repetitiveness can lead to annoyance/boredom. For that I am sorry.
I will add more to this when I remix it.
Again, Thanks for your review, and I admire your honesty! That's what I look for in reviews.
