RobinDB's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Grassina Calling]

Calming

It's very easy on the ears, as if it's telling you to just slow down and take a deep breath. The changes in the percussion keep it flowing nicely. The end could use a bit of work, it feels too abrupt. Using that last chord to end it is fine, it just needs a couple more seconds to fade out before the song ends. Good work so far, the only way to learn and get better is to keep working at it.

Siamorain responds:

Heck, I guess the redesign made me forget to check and I just noticed your review! Btw, I highly appreciate that you took the time to listen and comment this stuff, that means a lot to me! I do agree with you about the ending part, that feels just slapped there to gain some additional time because we were tired (due to demo version limitations we couldn't re-open projects after saving and closing) and couldn't think up of anything useful AND appealing to fit in, so we called it a day and accepted it the way it was. Now, i do like it, but I still feel we could have done it a lot better... Boy, better luck next time! Thanks again pal!

[Dubstep WIP (Need input)]

Pretty cool so far

What you could try doing is have a halftime, super heavy dub section after that evil laugh. You could also boost the whole song just a little bit, and mix it to bring out some lacking frequencies a little more. Other than that this is a very nice, groovey dubstep song. Good work so far, I'll have to check in to see when you finish it. :D

J-N-R responds:

Thank you! Sounds like a plan! It is really hard for be to boost anything because of the amount of tracks that are used to get the sound. I may be the soundcard I am using which makes it start to distort so I will have to play around with it.

[JB - Swing [WIP]]

slow and steady, but catchy

Like you said, it's simple, but pretty good. The melody is sweet and the bassline is easy on the ears. I think you should keep building it and have a big giant chorus section, but it's your song and your call. Keep workin on it though, I'm diggin it so far. :D

jbarnett responds:

thanks

[GenoWhirled OC 10]

awesome.

This sounds very good throughout. Sounds very close to old school Zelda games. This would be great for an adventure game. It doesn't really loop very well with that pause at the end, but oh well. It all still sounds great. Good work. :D

[Epickk - Tuxedo Pt. 2 [TC]]

Unique

The rhythm a slow build of all the parts is very interesting. Although a lot is going on with the percussion, it gets a little tiring listening to the same bass line and synths. If you could bring out more of a melody to it and change it up more, it would be immensely better. Towards the end when you bring down the drums and just have the synths, that's the kind of change that makes it more appealing. Have a section like that halfway through and change up the notes a bit, maybe a bridge section. Other than that, this would work very well for a chase scene, as it's very suspenseful and makes you want to move. Good work so far.

Indigoflare responds:

Thanks for letting me know the pros and cons. This is the kind of feedback I want, it helps me know what I need to work out more. I'm planning on making another song that keeps the same similar chase scene feel, so I'll definitely be sure to make changes! Bye

[2WiP songs/Should I finish it?]

they're both pretty kewl

As long as you let the first song move to something else, it'll be perfect. The second one could use a deeper kick, but they chords fit well and it's very nice and light. I'd say go ahead and finish both, just make sure they don't get too repetitive.

[Legend of Zelda dungeon 8-bit]

Nice.

I've recently gotten a craving for playing old LoZ games, and this sounds pretty darn good. It also loops very well, so good work on that. I can see this being used in the near future. Keep up the 8-bit. :D

megakill32 responds:

Thanks, I wanted to make sure it was accurate. Glad you enjoy and I'll keep up the 8-bit If you play those old LoZ games, they're worth it.
