RobinDB's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Life takes a turn]

Super simple and pleasant, almost like a humbling sense that things can change for the better. The title fits perfectly, and my only complaint is that it gets a little repetitive. It could use a bit more dynamic, like a break and a buildup back to the main section. Anyway, it's pretty catchy and groovy, nice work so far.

The-Cockenator responds:

Thanks man really like comments like these :D and i will try to finish it when i can ;)

[haus {durn}]

Hey, solid groove. :D When you say it was recorded live, you mean with a DJ setup, right? What exactly were you using? Anyway, this song is awesome, you've gotten loads better from your stuff I can remember from back in 2011. Great work.

durn responds:

Ah, no, sorry, I guess I worded that improperly, meant that it's just recorded straight-up without quantization. :) Thanks for the review, Robin, and thanks for noticing the improvements! :D

[Science Rules]

The song was already rockin, but when the Bill Nye section hits, every kid who went through public school in the 90's and early 00's can't help but get up and shout "BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL!" along with it. XD This is sick, great work man.

DJPlus responds:

thanks mate! the bill nye was a last minute maneuver, but turned out better better then expected! Thanks for the review!

[What You Want(TDCC Cover)]

Nice, easy listening. Your have a great voice, and the guitar is awesome too. Sometimes it's a little hard to make out what the lyrics are, but that will definitely improve with a better mic. The one you used is good, but certainly not the best. The chorus is pretty catchy, once this is recorded more professionally it'll be excellent. Keep workin on it. :D

Evark responds:

Yea, I think I needed to play with the mic more. I had the vocals AND guitar in cardioid, but I think I should've done the vocals in stereo. Thanks for listening!

[Epickk - Tempt]

Interesting sound, it puts the image in my head of some ninja doing all sorts of epic things and no one even sees him, haha. It's nice and simplistic with a solid beat. My only advice would be to build it into something bigger, and you could always do a bass drop, but that's up to you. It's pretty good so far, nice work.

Indigoflare responds:

Simplicity was my priority, but yes, I could've added some drops and whatnot. Thanks though, I really appreciate the feedback!

[What I Found (Alexz S.)]

Everything is balanced together well. The different chords you used from the original were interesting, but pushed the limit just a bit when the lyrics hit that jazzy off note on the last line and the music doesn't really match up with it quite right. Other than that the piano sounded great, and the beat is solid. Good work, this is a quality remix.

ChimeraNoise responds:

Thanks a lot Robin! Appreciate it!

[TM - Burning Elysium]

Very well written. The vocals sound great, the auto-tuning fit very well. The melody is super catchy, which I feel in dubstep can sometimes be more important than the bass. It never gets boring or repetitive. This is some of the best dubstep I've heard in a while. great work.

TrevorMcNally responds:

Thank you for the feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed it :D

[KKS - Impulse]

very chill.

I'm diggin the percussion in this one, super groovy. :D This makes me want to be somewhere tropical, or at least warm. lol. It gives me the sense of being somewhere else, of having some worldy knowledge. Great work once again.

KKSlider60 responds:

Thank you mate ^^ Who wouldn't be in a tropical beach right now, haha

[Lies Can't Protect You]

Groovy.

The rhythm and melody are catchy, but the vocals could use some work. They just need to be pronounced a bit more clearly. This song is very chill and I'd like to see you make a longer version. Then I'd like to take it and make a dubstep remix. :D Haha, good work so far.

Firefreezer responds:

You could be right with the vocals. I never tried to record vocals before I made this song. I just used the microphone of my headset, maybe I should try the mic I use for piano-recordings. : )
Would you really make a dubstep remix or was it just for fun? PM me! :D

Thank you for the 7!
