Buoy's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Chanson de l'espace 2]

eh

the song sounds good itself but I can't see much of the "Castle Crashers" feeling they call it in it, and it seems to have a terrible compression quality

The toms are interesting, they are pretty djembe sounding. other percussion sounds like they're mashed on a major lot, but it sounds far away.

The sample in the start... I can't understand why it is there, it just sounds stupid there

Loop perfectly, greaet job on that

Flute sounds pretty good, you shoulda changed it up a lil prolleh btw

It's okay but it has some serious flaws that shoulda been fixed first

(did you get offended by my response to your review btw? na it's not serious at all :)

loogiesquared responds:

nop...
anways, ty!

[Techno of the Sea]

nope

it's not silent, it's just a glitch of newgrounds' which mutes the track in browser view. Download it to listen to it

But you just made the song out of preset loops and slices in the cellphone, which is really not what most authors would do as you'rer doing less than half of the work yourself

Well it's a bit messy, not really melodic at all... I dunno meh

[-WritersBlock-Ghost Town]

for the review

Interesting lil phased piano you got, but I'd really like it much more if you removed the phaser and put some kickass reverb in its place. I like the froggy fx, seems to fit pretty well, but it kinda messes the sound up. Plus the clipping's there for a while. Love your drum progression, drum rolls ftw

WritersBlock responds:

Thanks for the review. This is one of my favourite of my own songs. For some reason, I just threw in all the parts a couple of beats apart from each other in the end, I don't know why...
I think the echo and the drums make it sound more complex than it really is.

The drums! A glitched loop in the FPC, I'd love to be able to custom make a rolling loop like that one day =D

Cheers

[C.Y.E.S.N.I.A.T.H]

Yes

I like the disorted leads, they seem to fit pretty well with the punchy bassies and padz. The disortion seems to take a little overhand in the more energetic parts, but that's it for the cons. wtf does the title mean btw.

pitbulljones responds:

cheers for the review SBB. Yea the distortion is a string that i've ran through the northpole filter plugin, it is absolutley awesome plugin get you hands on it seriously.

My main concern on this track is the guitar chord, but too much overdrive and too close, but i couldn't get a good balance with it. that opening synth was achieved by using crystals hybrid option, patch a couple of presets together kept morphing em, this is just the very opening of the patch the rest of it sounded horrendous but it works in this tune.

The title as pointed out above means...

Close Your Eyes, Something Nice is About to Happen.

thanks again

[Drum N Bass (Ambience)]

okay

garagebandish pads at first- now it evolves into some more dramatic slow DnB/Trance style track with tons of atmosphere and ambience

Some garbage monophonic synths

Laz0r effects and urban fx then a vgish melody gallery with the same garbage sine monosynths- now for some much better synths and a good sinebass then it ends with the same gb msical fx

Good job, but I felt it wasn't put together too well, it's a lot like many parts of good soongs put together in a half decent attempt

Tigerfrog responds:

Its always hard to find good synths on Garageband, and even harder to make use of the MIDI drums that come with the program. I used (royalty free) prerecorded drum beats and sound effects from the internet in an effort to make this sound better than electronic music on Garageband should.

I'll be happy with a half decent attempt, at least until I get Fruity Loops or some better program for electronic music.

[BFG23!]

interesting

I noticed the panning all over the track, which is quite annoying at times. But it sure adds style to the track. The background synth sounds awesome as hellage

Great drums, the vocals could easily sound like a commercial artist's with some better mixing and what do I call it, I don't have words for it rite now.

The downpitching thing later on the track was just weird, not so sure if I liked that

but good stuff

[TETRISNG-2007summer]

umm

why did you just put together other songs into a half-assed attempt at a 'project'? It's just small bits of other people's tetris remixes faded in and out. Seriously, what the hell? was this that ambitious project you needed to make a thread about?

TETRISNG responds:

yes, it is

[Chiga Chiga Mix!]

lol

now all you need is some drums, oldschool synth n shit and you'd have an awesome fun song

Father-of-Death responds:

really???? i'll see if it'll work!!
haha

i'll PM you or somethin to let you see if your advice really worked!!! mwhaha

[Simply Put]

actually

This could fit NG quite well. It's simple, and catchy. Only thing is that the synths sound a bit, like, thin, what do I call it, if it was more bassy it's be a lil better-

cool stuff and no I won't suck cunt despite your description

Father-of-Death responds:

darn..... can ya suck somethin else???
