RobinDB's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kw- Ivory Corporation]

Really chill.

I loved the intro. Very smooth. The general idea behind dubstep is that it's supposed to be gritty and dark, but I think that who perception is more limiting to the genre than helpful. I love the bass that comes in at around 1:40. I only had my little 50 watt sub on and it sounded massive. haha. The melody that comes in after that is really catchy. Crap, it's gunna get stuck in my head, I know it. haha. i don't see anything wrong with this, other than maybe I would do the equalizing a bit differently, but that's just differing artistic views. Awesome song. Keep workin at dub, you're pretty darn good.

nightsurfermusic responds:

Thanks. It's takes a shitload of time to make these though, they come slowly. This will probably be my last large piece for a while.

Thanks for the love all the same. :)

[Adjeye-3 ~ Charge failed!]

Cool stuff.

It's not too repetitive, real catchy beat. As i write that i think to myself, it's not really a different beat, kind of generic... nvmd, the beat is a beat. but the melody and sound itself is very good. :P I find myself tapping my foot to it. Good work, sounds noice.

Adjeye responds:

Thanks... Yeah I need to work on my beats... Don't know much different kind of progressive beats right now.. And its never the melody were I am unhappy about :P

[Nerd talks about losing it]

...odd.

hahaha. That would be a good voice for a flash animation. And if that came out of my mouth I'd be crying too.

McDugals responds:

thats what she said haha

[xKore - Destroyer (NG Cut)]

So you have a twitter and a youtube channel...

So what? Big deal, you wanna fight about it?

Haha nah. What I mean is you need to get ur own site to start SELLING THIS SHIT. For real, you could be making bundles of cash off of your music. This is the best dub around, no doubt. So get on it.

[|Submerge|]

Nice

Sounds like a cool intro to like an RPG/adventure game or something. I like the drums at around 1:20. Very chill, I'm gunna download this so I can relax to it. Also very nostalgic. I like it. Good work.

[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.
