RobinDB's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[AB - Letter To Elize]

Cool

I love the chord progression. I think this would fit better in New Wave though. Great melody, and good sound overall. The piano part at around 3 minutes is very cool. Good work.

AsteroidBlues responds:

Thanks ^^

[~The Warning]

Awesome.

My only problem with it is that there aren't enough drums. A nice heavy rhythm would make it perfect. Not necessarily fast, just hard kick and a loud, explosive snare. This would definitely be good in a zombie game though, good work.

[the black and white world]

Neat.

I don't really see how this is a classic song, but ok, lol. Obviously it uses orchestral instruments, but I think you could take the intro from this and drop it into a very nice House or maybe even Dupstep song. The chord progressions do get kind of boring, but the build in it is enough to keep it alive. I like the organ that comes in at the beginning, it has a nice sound to it. I think around 47 seconds would be a good place to drop in a heavy beat. But this is your song, so if you wanted to keep it in the classic genre, it could work equally well. Good work.

[Shizen - Cultivated Earth]

You're right.

The lack of melody isn't an issue. The beats and rhythms are musical enough. And the visual of ants building a city is perfect for it, haha. Great bass sound in it, and I like how it's really rough, but not too harsh. Great work.

Laverne responds:

Thanks RobinDB. I spent awhile balancing the soft and hard elements. Whew! :D

[Supernova.]

Pretty good.

Personally I think the snare sounds too light. In the beginning it sounds a bit like a... oooh what are those things called... the little tappy things used for morse code... You know what I'm talking about, right? Other than that, nice orchestration, sounds pretty nice. I don't get the image of a supernova with this song though, I get something more like a medieval town preparing for war or something. haha. Probably just because of the classic genre. Good work.

shooter0078 responds:

Ha! Now that you mention it, I do see a medival town. Oh well, I'm glad you liked it.

[TIGER M - Assurance (Orig]

Pretty good.

Kind of repetitive, but good. The melody is catchy, and the beat is good. Makes my foot tap. haha. Good energy in the song, and enough variation to keep it interesting. Good work.

TigerM responds:

[!BMTH! T.S.W.N.E remix (h]

Intense.

It gets pretty rough, I think you'll fix that with more editing though. I don't know the original song, but it sounds pretty good. Nice glitching and other effects. I like how it changes enough to not get boring. It can be a bit repetitive, but there's variation in it, so it's not too bad. You were going for hardcore and it worked, haha. Good work.

RandomDanceOfHappy responds:

its getting there ;)
near the middle theres a big hit that sounds really messed up witch i think your talking bout being rough thats ment to be that way and when i get it allll worked out it will sound tuns better :D ;)
it repeats alot atm cos well i love the part and im going to add alot more time in it so it dosent seam like only 3 partsand everything ^.^ thanks for the feed back :D

- my legs begen to break . so dont give up on mehhhhhh-

[Tiger M - Hiatus (origina]

stupid zero bombers.

Looks like some hater is goin through the new submissions and zero bombing. They must zero bomb because zero is all they know, zero friends, zero IQ, zero life.

Anyway, this is pretty good. A little bit repetitive, but it changes enough to keep it interesting. A little rough at times, maybe some side chaining and compression are needed. Other than that, good work.

TigerM responds:

Thanks for listening in again RobinDB! =D I honestly appreciate your kindness. =)
You could be anywhere else but you decided to give this track a listen! Stay awesome! ^_^

And as for the Zero Bomber yeah, I think that some people truly do simply rate
things a Zero that they actually like because they have a hole in their soul... they feel
because another person is doing something that they do not do or that they LIKE even...
they respond in the only way they know how whether a given experience whether it is
truly and honestly enjoyed or otherwise. Actually covered this subject earlier today when
I was noticing kind commentators like yourself would rate 8 9s and 10s and there would be
like 4 or 5 zeros on my music the first day that I uploaded it.

Thought something was kind of odd.

In a way--I think this is the person's [or people's] way of not wanting others to hear music that they
think other people would enjoy, but I'm not worried about it. =) Newgrounds is not the only place my music is placed--far from. In fact--in many venues I receive income for my music including sets.
iTunes and Amazon also have my music so I could simply not ever share it here to be rated by
zeros and ones by self loathing people... but I do this because I am passionate for the community
began by Tom Fulps and those who worked hard to build a place for artists like You and I.

I place my music here because I dig the community and think that some of the music may
be found useful sometimes in the future--be it this year or 500 years from now--within a flash
creators video game or video so I upload it for that purpose. I honestly don't even look at the
ratings but who enjoys what is heard and who takes the time to download the music they like.

To me, the zeros are not "votes" but rather "jealous strikes" or "strikes of jealousy" and
to me I take them as compliments because it says that I am doing something
the voter(s) / critic(s) wish they could do who's only defense is to say allegorically:

"Oh! You think you're all that--well I'll show you!" =)
EEEMP! Zero. HAHA! Now survive!

But I do. =3

"Zero" to me stands for "I got absolutely NOTHING from what was experienced."
If when it's thought about--even just the sound waves crossing your ears is at least a 1
[one thing that you felt while listening] given you are not as
Helen Keller or The Miracle Worker and even THEN--the feeling of the
change in the air around ya' accounts for something. =)

People who rate "0" truly work in the reverse in my opinion of what a
sane person would. =) That is to say, people who rated "Lennon's Music"
a zero are the very same kinds of people that "Mark David Chapman" who shot
him dead are. They are the very same kinds of people who listen to a song say
they don't like it but truly wish they did. In brief... people who rate "0" on anything
in my humble opinion are dead to life and honestly hate themselves. In short...
music and art take something away from these jealous individuals instead of giving...
something to them...which is teh reverse effect of what art does for a person in love with life. =)

I stay careful of these kinds of people in life outside of the internet
and would suggest you do the same! =) Given you value your life because
honestly... those very same people are the kinds of people who destroy others...
and then commit suicide because within themselves... no thing which is experienced
has any level of value or soul-enrichment. I simply pray for them and hope
that they find whatever it is they are seeking in this world so hatred does not remain
their form or definition of the purpose which is creation and love. =)

Only they can change their perspectives and if it turns them on that much to
do what they can to destroy a song that you, I & thousands who listen think is
great--hope it fills them.

[Power-socks!! (+18)]

lol

Good stuff. Not the best recording quality, but I can't really blame you for that. All it needs is some hardcore background music and a flash. haha. I'm gunna put this on my phone. Good voice acting.

TomStheVoice responds:

Terrible sorry for the quality. I just realized this as I uploaded it lol.
I actually don't have a bad mic, it's a Samson C03U. Might of been the conversion. Also, the recordings a bit old too.

I'll definitely look into improving quality the best I can. Thank you. :)

[Da Da Di Dance]

Alright.

Pretty good, but I don't like the way the vocals sound. I think if you just brought them down a bit, added more reverb, maybe just a hint of delay, it would sound better. The voice just sounds too in-ur-face. They also sound just a bit out of tune in some places. Other than that though, pretty catchy song. :) Good work.

TheMadWasp responds:

Hi there Robin thanks for the review and the 8.

The Vocals: adding sound fx's on eJay is a lot harder than you would expect and also I wouldn't know where to start with that... :I
Using eJay can be difficult when it come to these sort of things, just to assure you.

But I will try to add Fx's in my future work.

Thanks for the review again! :)
