Big-Boss's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Space X-Files]

I really like the fast beat and all of the different techno sounds you used. It also has a cool eerie sound to it, which I was not expecting.

Also, my insight on 0:56-1:12 is that it doesn't sound horrible, but it sounds kind of rough because there's one element that just doesn't really fit in there.

sebastien01 responds:

Glad you liked these sounds :) I used 4 instruments, a lot of the sounds popping up here and there are coming from different effects or oscillator tweak on these instruments, nice that you noticed them, I was wondering if they were going to sound well in other people's audio systems.

For the 0:56-1:12 part, it will be different on the completed song for sure ! :P I should have worked on it a little bit more before I upload the preview on NG, I think I will remove the super high instrument and the kind of melody, it gonna be a more powerfull bassline and I'll work on the drum set to make it more interesting.

Thanks for the review!

[Eternity]

The guitar is very beautiful and calming, but the woman's voice that keeps repeating throughout the song gets annoying and just doesn't go well with the song. I recommend taking the woman's voice out of the song. This track would be more soothing if it didn't have a voice interrupting the beautiful guitar playing.

rootless responds:

Thanks a lot! I appreciate the review. The female voice is not actually part of the song, it's a watermark added by the site MotionElements.com, where the original file is available for download. Sorry for the confusion!

[An Alien Breach!!!]

It has a nice retro style sound to it, I like it! It's energetic and fast paced and I can see it being a great track for a platformer type game.

demon1000 responds:

Cool thanks Man!

[[Tsets] - Skipping Rocks]

Very beautiful and relaxing song! I wouldn't recommend changing anything about it, it's perfect.

TsetsukenMusic responds:

Thank you so much!!

[That Melodic Feeling...]

A very soothing and relaxing song. While I listened to it I kept imagining that I was playing Kirby with this song as the background music. Sounds like something Kirby game developers would put as a track for a certain world or level. Definitely a good thing in my book!

It's an extremely enjoyable song with soft electronic and piano melodies, a nice beat, and comforting bells. Excellent work!

demon1000 responds:

Thanks Man! And Kirby Devs You say? *!!!* I think i got an idea! Thanks again Man!

[Morpheolized]

The majority of the song is too intense. The snare in the background or whatever it is (sorry, I don't make music) just makes the majority of the song sound horrible. When that part is playing, it overpowers the other instruments because of how loud it sounds. Also, it sounds kind of distorted.

I'm sorry, but this is just a bad song.

BuilderJR responds:

I fully understand you. I should make good one ;).

[Hemorrhage - Fuel cover]

This is a great cover, no doubt about it. I like your voice better than the lead singer of Fuel's voice. His sounds a little rough and your voice flowed better when you were carrying out the long notes. I like how you carried out 'away' and 'again' longer than he did, it sounded better. Your voice did sound a little off at the beginning of the song, but it got better as the song progressed.

Also, I was wondering if you could do a cover of Something in the Way by Nirvana. I'd like to hear how your voice sounds when it's in a way softer tone and that song would be a great one to cover so people could hear your softer vocals. I know this song was an acoustic one, but I think you might've just been a tad too aggressive while singing it. I know in your author comments you said that you think this song deserves a second take and if you do a second take I'd love to hear it.

Stereocrisis responds:

Sure dude, I'm always doing second takes and third and fourth takes. I do cover Something In the Way so, I could do that.

[Sliver - Nirvana cover]

As a big Nirvana fan, this song was actually a pretty good cover for someone on Newgrounds, in my opinion. You have a good voice, but you could've screamed more like in the actual song as the song progressed. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it. Keep it up the good work, man.

Stereocrisis responds:

Thank you DeftonesFan

[Frozen River]

This would be amazing for a game intro. That's the first thing that came to mind. A game intro with an emotional intro about a character or characters. This song would be perfect for that.

[I Feel]

I really love this song! Most of It could be used as a movie or game soundtrack. It could really fit into something that is going slow and then slowly picks up the pace. I just don't really like the part where it sounds like a voice comes in.

InvisibleObserver responds:

Please elaborate as to why you dislike said instrument/section in a horrifyingly descriptive pm to me! I appreciate your opinion and words!
