RobinDB's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Norato - East]

Boring, not boring...

It's all up to opinion. And in my opinion, it is just a little boring. Not bad, though. I think if it were made into a longer song with breakdowns and melody changes, maybe even a bridge or two, it could be an awesome song. But for being only a minute long, it's ok if it's just a little meh. The kick sounds good, as do the synths. Good mastering. Overall a good song. Good work.

Norato responds:

well it pretty old song, When I was makeing that I didint even know Sidechain and EQ compresing technology. Check out youtube for my song Norato - Proposition of infinity.

[KKS - Glowing Lights]

I'm gunna come back and rate it again.

Because some idiot came by and zero bombed it. This is a very nice ambient piece. The bass, the melody, the vibrophone, they all work so well together. The vibrophone in the background actually reminds me of a Pink Floyd song. I forget if it's called "Set The Controls For The Heart of The Sun" or just "The Heart Of The Sun," but it's a really cool ambient psychodelic piece. This is just one of the best ambient pieces I've ever heard. In fact it's good enough that I'll download it even though I told myself to stop DLing songs cuz my laptop's memory is getting low. hahaha. Very good work, I'm diggin it.

btw, if you could check out some of my songs that's be cool. :3

KKSlider60 responds:

Sure I will, and thanks for your great review :D

Yes the track could be very Floyd-ian at some points, it does remind me of some of their tracks. I don't care about zero-bombers anymore. It's not that I gave up fighting them, but, really, it's just a score. A number. A symbol that can say anything and nothing at the same time, for anybody.

Thanks again mate, have a nice day

[Wobble duel]

Gets kinda boring.

But it's still pretty awesome. haha. It has a great sound. Get my foot tappin for sure. i can see this being a good background song for a zombie game, or like a boss battle. Some epic part of a tense game. good work.

demonrunner23 responds:

i know i didn't know it would be this long but i just left it how it was when i was done

[Perseverance {Frozen}]

Pretty awesome.

It is repetitive, like you said, but still good. haha. Cool beat to it, and the melody is catchy too. Good sound in the synths. Cool build towards the end there. Good work.

lazy-dave responds:

Thanks for the review! I'm glad you liked it :D

[Zelda Battle Theme (test)]

While not totally original...

It was entirely written by him, not recorded and put into a program. I think. Anyway, the majority of song writing is all about being inspired by someone else's work and stealing bits of it to make your own. If you do turn this into a full length song, I'm sure you'll be more creative and independent with it. And if you don't, then at least make it loop better. haha.

geno136 responds:

I plan to make it more creative and independent. This was just getting the thought out and seeing how people took the sample. In fact, I might as well add more to this right now so that people don't get the wrong impression as the other guy did.

I was actually trying to work on the Ice Cap, but that took a serious backseat in trying to make some great of it.

EDIT: And now it's 41 seconds longer, added with a Trumpet section.

[[TheCrusaders] The Storm]

Cool.

I can see what you mean with the ships in the storm. The visual matches up very well. I think the only problem with it is that it could use more bass in the equalization, there's just not enough power to support what the song is going for. You need the impact of the waves, the whip of the sails as the wind tears them to pieces. I also like the parts where it calms everything down with the high pitched strings. It puts the image of the storm clearing in my mind, or maybe just the eye of the storm. Either way, good work.

samulis responds:

I'll see about helping out the bass part a bit more when I work on the final score, thanks for the feedback. In the actual film, I'll add sound effects such as wind and rain, etc.

[Saxy]

Pretty cool.

A good quality sample. I think the only thing it's missing is lyrics and someone with a deep, sexy voice. haha. Good work.

bobiscoo32 responds:

Thanks man, I have a rapper lined up to do alot of my tracks and I'll make sure to tell him to make the chorus deep and sexy (sounds wrong).

Thanks for the review. I'll go check out some of your shit right now :)

[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
