RobinDB's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rick and Glooby #1]

good lord.

"Glooby's" voice made me want to shoot myself. hahaha that definitely made it annoying. But since that was the point I can't hate you for it. lol. Some points really made me laugh though, like the whole solitaire thing. "I can make it two player. Yes I can."

buuuuut besides that, the effect on Glooby's voice needs a bit of tweeking, unless you wanted the glitched sound. I think it's the grain size that needs adjusting, but I don't know what effect you were using, if it was VST....

I digress. Good work. I laughed. :D

[Worst Birthday Ever]

HAHAHA

ooooh jeez that's funny. It reminds me of Family Guy. And like SirKillington said, that guy a couple reviews down don't know squat. The first thing you see when you go to NewGrounds is the slogan, "EVERYTHING BY EVERYONE." By saying this doesn't fit here, you're just making yourself look like a douche.

Noooow that I'm done venting, once again I have to say this is hilarious. The quality does get a little sketchy at some points, but it's not too terrible. Good work, as always.

[Ironwoods - Skyward]

It was good.

Then I heard the breakdown at around 2:45, and it became awesome. This has a great sound to it, and even though the chord progressions are really nothing special, the build after the break is really well done. The reason I took one start off is because the top synth doesn't fit the chord at 4:04, and every other time it's on that chord. It's just a matter of changing the notes. Other than that, great work.

Ir0nwoods responds:

Yeah, the chords were one of the reasons i took so long to finish haha. Thank you for your review :)

[4One Surrealism -remix-]

daaaaaang

this is seriously awesome. I didn't really think it would be, until that synth kicks in at about 10 seconds. Sounded awesome, and then when the drums start, it just goes full on fantastic. And it's not even halfway done yet. This would be perfect for a film score, it has tension, dynamic movement, and an almost nostalgic feel to it. I think with a little more mastering and equalizing, this would be just perfect. Great work.

keosni391 responds:

Wow thanks mate :D

[span centipede - will]

cool. and awesome.

At first I didn't feel like reviewing it, but then as I kept listening, it just got catchier. haha. Very cool chord progression. The unique sound of the guitar and the percussion go very well together. The only thing missing now is some upbeaat lyrics. Great work.

kenecchi responds:

Thanks for listening, and thanks for the review!

[So Confused Right Now]

fun. :D

All the little sounds make it sound really fun. When the bass comes in it makes it sound even more bouncy. Good work on the effect work, like the reverb or delay growing and shrinking on that main bell-sounding synth. The rhythm is very catchy. I can see why you gave it that title, it kinda does give the feeling of something going on that you don't really understand. haha. Very good work, this is a nice groovy house song. I'm diggin it.

[Powder Keg]

That bassline is catchy as heck.

Great work on this man. The synths might be cliche, but cliche just means everyone is using it cuz they all think it's awesome. hahaha. And then when it quiets down and the lead melody comes in, it just becomes fantastic. I wonder what it would sound like with just a bit more reverb on the melody. Absolutely awesome when it all comes together at around 1:50. Great work.

[KKS - Dreamful Stargazing]

I wanna sleep to this.

And have a dream like Autumn-Collapse's visual. haha Very good work, as always. I wish I could attain that beautiful ambience you have such a natural ability for. The guitar and strings in this one sound so crisp and clean. great work.

KKSlider60 responds:

Thanks Rob, I'm trying to focus on your loops but somehow I think of other tunes and I end up making completely different tracks D:

[Jakobe- Techno Trance]

awesome.

the glitching is just awesome. All the synths work very well together. However, i felt there was still too much ambience in it to be a change to techno, just an opinion though. Other than that, this is a very interesting song, well written. good work.

JakobePaulobe responds:

Thanks for the review, I appreciate the feedback. Yeah I guess with it starting off as ambient, it was a little hard to make it into a techno/trance kind of song.

[Tenebrae]

hmmm.....

For some strange reason this reminded me of an old N64 game... can't remember what it was called. I really liked the feel of it, up until the beat came in. It wasn't that it ruined the ambient feel, it's just that there's too much kick. Use it a little less, sometimes it's the silence after the sound that has meaning, not the sound itself. And turn it down just a bit as well, to let the other percussion bits come through a bit more, and it would be golden. All in all, good ambient piece. good work.

PhobyAk responds:

I really appreciate your input and advice. I would be curious to know which game you're refering to.

I will probably do what you said and make it sound better, thx again!
