RobinDB's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Landslide- Cayler]

Frickin' Awesome.

I love what you did with this song. I hate people that think the Dixie Chicks did it first. -.- There need to be more Classic Rock classes. lol.

I'm assuming that was you singing, but whoever it was, it was beautiful. It sounded like you used just a bit of tuning with the vocals though, but it was in good taste. Absolutely amazing composition, good choice using a piano instead of guitar, I like it better like that in some ways. Great work.

Cayler responds:

Thank you. Yeah, I generally use strong auto-tune for harmonies so that they don't stick out and cause a bad sound (I noticed that many pros do it that way so I imitated. lol) But as for the lead vocals, I always try to keep the tuning to a minimum because most of my vocals are really cose anyway and making them computer perfect removes some of the quality rather than adds it in.

[C3 - Dusty]

Relaxing.

I may not be an expert in House music, but this doesn't sound like house to me. idk, maybe it's progressive house? No, that doesn't sound right..... I'm not saying your wrong, I'm just saying.......

ANYWHO, good song. I like how it slowly builds up, but still stays simple and relaxing. Nice simple melodies and rhythms. Good work.

C3NTAURI0N responds:

Hey :)

House is a grey area to discuss, hard house borders trance... that's what I've learnt
It's a massive culmination of genres for you to make it your own. I made my style and It's stood up well on here and thus I'm proud of it all.

Thanks for the feedback anyway. much appreciated :)

[Computer Generated]

Fun to listen to.

Very fun song. It definitely reminds me of computers and such. The vision I get for this one is some kind of a man being, well, computer generated, and trying to find his way out of the PC. Or maybe he's in a Mac. Who knows.

Good effects and melody. This would be good for some kind of intense, fast-paced puzzle game. Good work.

Murcielago1 responds:

Haha, thanks for the review. I'm very glad you enjoyed it.
Electro-house seems to be my main focus right now. Still practicing.
I'm glad you liked the sound effects - that's probably one of very few things that I'm proud of, haha.
Once again, thanks for your review =D

[{sPhly} -Under the Surface 70%]

Very Nice. :D

My only problem with it is that when you add in that effect..... I don't know the techical term for it.... when it sounds like your turning the volume dial up and down to every beat? It would be fine if you didn't have it so pronounced, like if it didn't go so low. Just a little bit less, so it doesn't sound like it's totally going from something so smooth to something so electronic-sounding so quickly. You definitely need to make it longer though, and as for the repetitive synths, don't worry about that too much, just put in a bridge or something, it will be fine. :D Give it that extra "30%", and I'll download it. mV, (^.^) Bye for now.

Shoephly responds:

:D Thanks for the review, and yea, I was thinking a little bout that, personally i like it like that, but looking back at it, a slight change to make it a little smoother would do good.
The 30% won't be too far away, but right now I'm working on a similar song (smooth strings/choir/piano) but it''s gonna be totally different from this one though; stay tuned! :D
yet again, thanks a lot for the review! ;D

[[DJ_ITD] - Power Spike [24Hrs]]

Pretty good.

Those are funny vocals. haha. :D

Good work, I like the bass line and the drums. For 8 hours of work this is really good. Then again, you never seem to fail at making songs. Nice job.

djInTheDark responds:

Thanx, I sure hope I didn't fail. :P Yeah I really liked the vocals also (guess thats why I used them heh...)

Thanx for the review!

[-Orr- 4 Brave Champions []

Amazing

If you wrote out the music for this and had a professional orchestra do it, it would be pro movie quality. I think that's the only thing it really lacks, is the human touch of a real live orchestra and choir. But like others have said, excellent work, this is epic.

DavidOrr responds:

Well said- thanks for the review!

[Kw- Ring Of The Ignus]

Very odd visual for this one.

For some reason, the visual I get for this song is a deserted island in the pacific, covered in snow. o.o

Anyway, very good work. Good chord structure, beat, melody, etc. etc...
It's just all good. ;)

nightsurfermusic responds:

THank you very much! Odd pictures are what I go for. ;)

[Myth - Daydreamer]

Good work.

This seemed to capture my ear. I spent half the song trying to figure out what time it was in. 5/4, correct? Anyway, the piano makes me think of some kind of Oriental scene. This might be your first House song, but you obviously have enough experience making music. Very good, I'm downloading this.

Djevel responds:

Hehe, thanks :)

[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

[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! =)
