Buoy's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Push the button]

yay

Cool drums, kindof cheesy though, especially the kick- and a voice that sounds like an ichat thing, I guess it's an FL voice ditty- those have a kind of lame sound (I'll do the usual and compare it to a drunk Norwegian trying to speak English). Short decay notes are harsh, you'll need to lopass filter that one or bring it farther down in the mix. That cool analog lead with portamento should be more present imo.

Decent some, but some mixing stuff that I wouldn't have been completely satisfied with if I were you. Some more effects would do good too- Apart from that there's not much work needed here.

Jurian responds:

I agree with you, thanks for your review!

[[DD] Hip Hop Zombies]

ahh

What an interesting concept. But it sure as hell could've been expressed better. It's generally the same melodies with slight variations throughout, and the same onebar beat going on all the time, needs more variation, some more present bass if there actually is one there, etc. Try some more reverb on the lead for scary and distortion on beat for zombie feeling for starters. I don't know what you intend doing with this song, so it's really just yer choice

Double-Digital responds:

I will try to improve it at some point.. Thank yu for the review! ;)

[Crazy Sax]

YAy

A bit clipping farther into that, except for that the clarity is pretty much perfect, no noise included at all is one wonderful achievement. Cool soloin', kind of blah after a while, but great timing - most of the time - etc etc

'twas enjoyable fo sho

Matey!

[MarioRemix_MarioLand]

blah

Something that's common with remixes is how the choice of instruments will usually sound bland and off- like here, the mix of tribal, casual and synth instruments just doesn't seem logical. The instruments don't go too well with each other. (some of the percussion and drum beats sound very much like premade loops etc)

You did a great job with the remix composition itself, but if you want it to be awesome, fantastic, amazing and all that, it needs some more work in the instrument choice section.

TommyVF responds:

Yeah, I actually don't make remixes. I make real songs in reason and such, this is just something I put together and I thought it was alright to submit! :)

[Kriz: The Beginning]

yesh

It sounds wonderful and all, there's not much to nitpick on here. A bit of a disappointment after the long intro, since after the buildup to a rather weakclimax in the second minute, it didn't really develop much. Which is okay because it's 4 am and I really need to sleep instead of getting hyped up by intense trance.

Thank you for allowing me to sleep instead of staying awake (which I would if it happened to be an intense masterpiece). Goodnight.

Kr1z responds:

Well this was my purpose: making sure that my listeners are able to sleep ^^ :D
Im glad it worked out!
And thx for the review too ^^
Bye!

Kriz.

Weird sound that, you used a lot of samples 'ere... the orchestra hits don't seem to fit in so good. Harp sounds harsh, soften it up a bit plz. A very nice mix of orchestral, ethnic and synthetic instruments here, makes a warm atmosphere and makes the listener imagine a far away, light up landscape. Well done with the atmosphere for sure, but the composition is... rather weak, really :/ Luckily you stuffed it up with good instruments and effects to make up for it.

wyldfyre1 responds:

hey thanks for the honosty. Lets see... i'll see what i can do to bring the hits in a lil more smoothly and soften up that harp. I'll do what i can to fix this puppy up some. The tunes that have numbers by them are still WIP lol. Thanks for the review man!

[Romance Burden]

blargeh

I like. I feel the drums need more compression. Strings should be just a little bit louder, and seem sort of off key. Bass sounds great, just about perfect in every single aspect (but nothing more than that). Great structure, it really kicks off well after the voice samples shittles. Yay well done anyway

Quarl responds:

haha, thanks for dropping the review sbb!

[This Is Thursday 2]

bah

Clumsy and not recognisable melody makes this tune much less catchy than it could've been. A bit muddy mix too. Sounds a bit more like hip hop than techno to me- but that might just be because of the hoover-ish synths. Pretty unorganised and messy tune, doesn't catch my liking much at all. At least you got some nice synths, so when you get some better ideas for melody you might just have a great tune going on. :)

funkyjunky responds:

I would disagree, but naturally who wouldnt!
I can definatly see where your coming from but i dont think this is "Clumsy" so to speak.
Never the less I will use this advice in the future, I have found this post useful :)

Thanks
