RobinDB's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[SD] Voyage]

Very nice.

Lately I've been looking for exceptional songs to download. This is the first one today to qualify. It's very uplifting and soothing. I like how the melody is so interesting that it makes you forget the bass and chords are all the same. Usually it really peeves me off when a song has an ever-repeating chord structure, but this is one of those few that sound just fine that way. I especially like the sound effects in the background, it gives your ear more to enjoy. Good work.

[[LY] Dark House]

Interesting

It's definitely different. It's not bad, but not really that catchy. I liked the middle bridge section more than anything else. I like it because it's so different from the rest of the song, yet it fits with it. Good work.

P.S. I think DJManifest was on something when he wrote that review. >. >

[Smooth Talker ]D.M.[]

LMAO

This is hilarious. Great vocal work. Especially the end, it's so perfectly random.
"Do u like bingo? I like bingo." xD
Great song, you were right when u said it expressed your cheeziness. :)

Darren-M responds:

im pretty cheesy... not gonna lie

[Imagine THis (Remix!!!)]

Cool.

Maybe it's just because of nostalgia, but I prefer the original. This is still very good though. It sounds much brighter and energetic. Maybe I just need to hear it with better speakers. But ya, very good work as always. I think if you were going to remix it you should have done more with the drums. It's a catchy beat, but it sounds to me like the only thing you didn't change. Maybe more bass to the kick drum? Maybe more stylization, you know, adding toms and filling at the beginning of phrases? I dunno, that's just my opinion. Like I said before, very good, keep it up.

[Auecs- MISCHIEF!]

Very funky, but I like it. :P

You were right to say it needs a little more mastering, but other than that I think the song is really good. All the sliding and exaggerated vibrato make this song a mixture of funky, crazy, and awesome. I'll call it....... Awefunkzy!
lol, if you make another crazy awesome song like this, would you call it that? xD
Anywho, the bass line is really catchy, and I'm glad you put in more variation than just the bass line the whole way through. It grabs your attention with that bass line in the beginning, then keeps you listening when you bring in the other effects and rythms. Excellent work, you never seem to disappoint. ;)

[In Your Embrace]

Nice work.

This is really smooth. It's a good slow, flowing house song, and I respect you as an artist just for this. I'd do vocals for you, but I have no recording equipment, nor am I anywhere near you (probably. It' a big country). And I'm not just saying that, either. I'm currently a bass in my school's top choir, and I went to Italy last spring to perform in a large professional choral group. Look up "The Birth of Christ" by Andrew T. Miller.

This will probably be deleted now for promoting another site/artist and bragging about myself. lol. Seriously though, this is a great song, keep making them and I'm sure you'll have a successful career in this field. If I could afford the programming, I'd be doing the same.

10'd and 5'd.

RAVEN responds:

Thank you so much for the review, RobinDB. I'm terribly sorry for missing this review and not commenting on it until half a year after you wrote it. I see no problem with a bit of self-promotion, and I have no intentions of having this deleted. Thank you for the comment and the support. I'm already interested in having vocals put to some of my music. I haven't been very productive lately, and I feel that if I work with someone on my own music it will inspire me to start working on music again. Thanks again for the review, and if you get your hands on a microphone and some audio/sound editing software, I'd be interested in a collaboration. Let me know. Take care! =)

[15thD - Chaoz Fantasy Remix]

Pretty good.

I'd like more bass myself, but that's probably because I am one. :P
As for that fact that you don't like it yourself, that's perfectly ok. It's only natural to be your own worst critic. It's a pretty good remix, nice work.

[UK Hardcore]

Meh.

The melody gets annoying. Real quick. The chord progressions aren't very good at all. Besides that, you called it "hardcore" in the title. A song isn't hardcore just because it goes really really fast and the melody goes absolutely everywhere. The melody isn't really that catchy, it's just crazy. That doesn't make it very attractive.

I will say that the sound of it is good, and it's blended well. It's just that the melody and chord progressions are below my standards for a house song.

MegaWatt-Man responds:

I don't think you know what "Happy Hardcore" is. I recommend you listen to some before you make a review like this. Happy Hardcore is much more different to house. Its just newgrounds doesn't have that as a tagging option. Please know what you are talking about before you jump to your own conclusions.

[Imogen Heap - Headlock (Remix)]

Awesome.

Love the remix. It's so up beat and happy, but deep. I love it, great work.

[Kazmo - Headlock [RMX]]

Awesome remix.

I can't tell if I like this or the original better. :3

This one is nice because it puts the vocals back in a normal range, making it sound smooth and sexy, instead of high pitched like a little girl.

The original, however, is better if you want a more hyper song to dance to. This one is more for like grooving to in your car. lol.

Anyway, excellent work. I'm going to put both of them on my next NG mix CD. :D
