RobinDB's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Eternity House]

This is surprisingly groovy. The intro is very well chill, and that tease of a chord before the break is a nice touch. However, when the beat comes back in it's hard to tell if the bass is in tune. It's a good bass synth, just kind of an odd melody, not sure how to feel about it. It's almost creepy at the same time it's upbeat. My only suggestion is to clean up the bass, it sounds like maybe you used more than one synth to achieve the sound but somehow it got out of tune.

[Carousel]

seems solid so far, it'd be nice to hear where you go with it. That lead bell synth definitely sounds upbeat but its rhythm is a bit confusing. Maybe later into the song you can add another harmony synth with a varying but similar rhythm to balance it out.

thanks man!

[Golden Beach]

This track is sweet man, you definitely have a knack for chord progression and the flow of a good trance song. How did you EQ this? It sounds like you've done an alright job of it already but it could still have a bigger sound. I would suggest exploring and experimenting more with all your synths and samples to pull away from typical sounds and develope your own unique trance style. Other than that it's all gravy man, very nice song.

btw which program are you using?

Ditchy responds:

Hey dude, cheers.

I use fruity loops atm, as I am still confused with reason. I tend to use my fantom roland G8 to get a synth or idea for the main song.

[The Way of the Future]

Certainly was filthy, awesome bass sound. Those audio clips got a bit annoying, but during the bass sections it wasn't too much, just when it keeps repeating. That kiss my ass bit made me laugh though. :P All in all it's very good work, keep it up.

theofficialdoughboys responds:

thanks a latte sir...the clips do get kinda annoying but thats like the song LOL those are the clips from The aviator with Leonardo DiCaprio.

[GateKeeper]

That was ridiculous. Fuckin rockin the dubstep man, excellent work. Wasn't too impressed by the intro but when it gets goin it can't be stopped.

[CowardlyLion - Scorched Earth]

LOL! i love the audio clips, not to mention how sick the bass and melody lines are. The Navi quote was super random though, I'm not entirely sure I liked it. It didn't ruin it, but... eh.

Anyway, super nice work, keep it up. :D

CowardlyLion responds:

Thank you very much! Haha yes it was very random. It was just in case someone doesn't know that music is for listening. Haha, thanks for listening! Cheers.

[AB - Disturbance]

I like how it drops sort of softly into the dubstep section without any kind of hard break or build, makes it sort of fluid and trippy. I like your intro on this one, catchy melody, but I feel like at around 1:00 when you build it up, it sounds too much like you're going to drop or break right there instead of repeating, and it just doesn't flow as smoothly as it could. Another thing you might want to spend some time on is adding more percussion to add more rhythm, and maybe another high-end synth to give some more atmosphere. Other than that this is sounding very good so far, pretty catchy. Might need a break section or a bridge, but catchy.

AsteroidBlues responds:

Helpful tips, thanks a lot ) I don`t think i`ll be editing this one soon, but sure as hell i will add your pointers to the next one ;)
