Kingbastard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The * Eye]

nice

i was hoping for some vox. if it had some i think it would add to the dynamics of the track. Nicely recorded and played. Good shit man.

books responds:

You're absolutely right, I actually wrote the song to have a vocal accompaniment, but I am still looking for a vocalist. Thanks a lot for the comment, though!

[Ecrofayam]

good

It's not my favourite style of music, but I cant fault the production quality and the profficiency of your skills. Good Shit!

Rubbertje responds:

Thank you very much!

[Phuck]

Nice

I reckon u should lose the piercing hi-hat and add some vocals to this track. Perhaps a nice nice funky-ass bassline Rancid style wouldn't go amiss either.
Good shit

[Anti Septic Anesthetic]

Reminds me of video game music.

I can see someone using this for a Flash game. Personally i would like to hear a bit more going on throughout the track. Clean and crisp recording. Not bad at all.

LittleGymm responds:

Thanks. But this song really blows nut.

[Reggae No.1]

Not my cup of tea.

Nice crisp recording but I just got a bit bored half way through. Maybe stick a nice bassline in with some sound fx to give the track some weight. Salsa!!

Scarlatti responds:

You seem to think I recorded this live. That's not the case, I just use a program with high-quality voices. Thanks for your review (my first).

[FAN - Oblivion]

Sparse, but has potential.

I think there is a good basis for a track here, but there needs to be more variance and other parts added. Perhaps try adding some strings or some pads, the odd little sound effect here and there. Loadsa potential to be made into a great track, so just keep goin back to it and adding little nuances and layers. Try listning to a tune/artist that you would like to emulate, and seeing what there is about it that you like, then apply that to your tracks. I hope this review helps. Keep up the good work.
ttfn

Fanta5t1c responds:

Yo man wassup
Yea i kno theres not alot, and its a lil uneven, but man, gargae band is so friggin limmited, im gittin some new equptment, 3 synths, electronic drumset, studiophones(nice), cubase sys 4, all this nice stuff, ill remix alot o me songs, so dont think that these are the last of what youve heard!!!!

[API- Acid Death]

Nice

Needs some compression, or maybe some distortion on the drums to bring them out of the overall mix. The sound effects are far too loud in the mix and detract from the rest of the tracks. Perhaps add some distortion to the bass sound as well to make it a little dirtier.
Apart from that the track is compostionally sound and nicely arranged. i will have a listen to some more of your stuff.

apimusic responds:

Thank you, but something sad is that I have a compressor for every channel and the main one as well, its just an overwhelming track ;)

[CJO:Devil's House Party]

Industrial....

Reminds me of something Aphex Twin would do for his AnalougeBubblebath sessions. I would have liked to hear some more weird melodies and textures. Best thing I've heard on the Portal for a while.
good Shit.

ChrisOrosco responds:

Thank you. I am very glad you enjoyed it. :)

[I Will Forget]

Clean and crisp.

The style of this tune is not really my thing, but that aside, this is a well produced and polished track. It would work really well in someones Flash, but for me it doesn't work as a standalone tune. To hear this whilst watching the moving images of animation would put it in a better context. I was hoping for a little more variance in the drum programming, a few breakdowns and chopped-up beats are more my sort of thing.
Nice stuff. I shall listen to some more of your tracks.
ps. There's a track I have written called Artificialite which u might like to listen to. Pls, if u do, leave a fair review.

[Cumulus]

Cloud9!!

Smooth production on this track. I like the nice warm pads in the background, it's not my favourite kinda genre, but when this track got going it made me nod my head in recognition to what you are doing. It has a hint of an early Underworld style. I can't fault the sound quality, I am jealous cos I can never get my tunes to sound as crisp as this. Good Shit!! I shall have a listen to some more of your stuff.

Carcase responds:

Actually I just made the switch over to Fruity Loops 5.0, as a pose to 3.1... Those are all basic 5.0 instruments. Thanks for the good review!
