Big-Boss's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Escape (Progressive Mix)]

Wow, this is a pretty cool track! This should really have more views! You make so many transitions and they all sound good together, which is impressive. Also, this song has a pretty good beat that goes along with every sound in the song.

Great work!

stegosaurus responds:

Thank you very much for all of these reviews! I'm really glad to finally see some constructive reviews on my content. As you can see, or hear, Audio is really my main focus. For this track I wanted a more progressive, mau5 sort of sound, and with smooth transitions. I'm really glad you enjoyed this track. Also, if you liked this, there will be an entire album coming out this month.

Thanks!

[Dredgermen]

Has a pretty nice retro video game sound to it. It keeps a good, consistent beat throughout the song while making slight changes.

Nice job!

Kalviter responds:

Thanks! I'm glad you like it, and that there's been an improvement.

[Night Cruiser]

It has a really nice, chill vibe to it. However, I don't really like the beat. It sounds a little too high pitched and doesn't sound very pleasant to my ears.

Also, it gets too repetitive. If you were to change up the beat a few times over the course of the song it would make it sound not so unvaried.

Kalviter responds:

This one's part of a series of what are supposed to be instrumentals (For rappers and stuff, yeah I know, it's weird, allow me) so I'm not bothered about the repetitiveness.

The beat bit does interest me though, since the few other people I've had listen to it haven't mentioned it. I have remastered this one about seven times so it wouldn't surprise me if it needed redoing again. Thanks for listening!

[Building a House]

This such a nice, relaxing song that I can feel my eyes starting to close right now, haha.

Great loop, man. I can imagine myself just chilling outside in some warm weather while listening to this.

GotWeez responds:

As always, thanks for the feedback!

I actually want to create a series of music therapy loops like this once finish 'Lost Time'... I'll probably make this the title track for the series.

[Quicksand]

It takes skill to be able to keep changing things up and having it all sound fantastic. Every time you change up the sound everything sounds good together. Very Impressive!

The only thing I'd change about this song is that high pitched sound that first appears at 1:29 and shows up in a few other parts of the song should be removed. It just sounds too different from the rest of the song.

Other than that, terrific job!

Drewpy responds:

Thanks for the review! I'm stoked that you liked it, it's really encouraging so thanks so much!

[The Clock]

It has some really nice, calm guitar playing, but it sucks that it sounds like it's fading out a little bit.

You had an interesting idea with the ascending and descending progressions, giving the listener two different tracks to listen to. You definitely get some points for creativity.

GotWeez responds:

Thank you!

I have been considering a remaster... Melodically, and rhythmically, I love how it came out. But I do think the reverb needs a little TLC. A friend of mine told me it sounded like I used a crappy mic. That reverb is the culprit 100%

[Just in Time]

At first it sounded kind of eerie, but a good kind of eerie. Then at 0:23, I can see what Drewpy was talking about. The guitar definitely gives it a great beach vibe. Very chill and relaxing.

However, the techno sound that kicked in at 2:30 and lasted until 2:48 sounds distorted and very much out of place. It doesn't fit in with the song at all.

Besides that one con, this is a pretty good song. It keeps changing it up throughout the song, which is nice. Also, like I said before, it does have a great beach vibe to it and it's nice and relaxing.

GotWeez responds:

Most relaxing moments in life end very abruptly while making little sense. That's what I wanted to convey :)

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the feedback!

[Dididduction 1]

Like BrolfThePaladin said, there are way too many sound effects in this song.

There are also some sounds that really just don't go well together, like 0:42 to 0:48, for example. It just doesn't sound good. Also, this song just sounds like a bunch of songs that don't go well together. You could probably make a few different songs out of this one song.

I won't go too hard on you because this is your first song you've submitted to NG, but it does need a lot of work.

DididdProducions responds:

The main reason I made this piece was to have multiple different short tunes for a multi level game. it's not really intended for being by itself, kind of like the song Serponge (request)
I understand if you think it isn't music. I plan on making the short tunes I have here into real songs. I also am making a real song that's a loop, so if this wasn't a great introduction I hope to redeam myself. Thank you two for the advice!

[a castle in a magical forrest]

When I listen to this, a castle in a forest is exactly what I picture! Rightfully titled! Haha.

I also think about the Meridell castle in Neopets: The Darkest Faerie, but that's just me.

Anyways, this song is very calming and majestic. I wouldn't change anything about it, it's perfect. Very professional work was done here and I'm amazed. This is one of the best songs I've ever heard on Newgrounds.

TheJawns responds:

Woah, thanks man!
