Kingbastard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Timeloopable Waves]

Potential........

This track has lots of potential to be pushed a lot further. A few more textures in the mix and a bit more variance with the drums. Maybe take the drums to double time in places, add some light distortion, and chop them up a bit more. (I'm a big fan of chopping up drums and panning them quickly left and right).
The lead sound, synthesized guitar? is a bit too loud for my liking and doesn't sit comfortably in the mix. Either increase the vol of the drums or drop the lead down in the mix.
As I say, loads of potential, just needs to be fine tuned and worked on some more.

nice

I was hopin to hear a nice bassline come in to contrast the sound of the lead melody instrument. I like the minimalist feel to the tune, simple but effective. Maybe a few more pads or strings would fill the overall mix and make it feel a little warmer.
Interesting stuff. I shall have a listen to some more of your tracks.

[Tension (4 film making)]

Definately Tense!

Absolutely perfect for anyone out there who is making a Flash movie with an edge of tension to it. This is atmospheric and all the sounds used work really well together. When I listened to this track I saw images of hoards of Orc's or some-shit like that, marching across a vast expanse of land.

Good Shit Man!

Rucklo responds:

Yea, hopefully someone might find it useable. I thin I´m gonna try making more shorter stuff like this, mood-songs/loops to see if artists actually wanna use em. It´s a good thing if u see things when u hear the music, as long as u didn´t see Orc-shit marching across the toilet floor. :D
Thanx a bunch for the reivew! (btw, listened to that LO-Fish song u made, n totally liked! :)

[Sally Goodin]

I like it!

Not often I get to hear banjo when listening to audio submissions, this was great! I love the sound a good ol banjo makes! Plus the classic bluegrass cheeky ending, nice stuff!

I still can't hear the banjo without thinking of the kid the film Deliverence though!!

More please

[Wrecked Rear]

Pan-tastic

Like the panning, and all the sounds sit nicely together, but I reckon the drums could do with fattening up a little. Maybe add a touch of cheeky distortion! There's a lot of nice little programming touches in this track, the bits of filtering and reverb work nicely.

Nice job

Rucklo responds:

Nice to see that someone recognize the "programming" and other "effects" that I´ve been working with.
I´m totally gonna think of ur advise!
Thanx alot for a fruitful review!

[Rising Lava]

Perfect for a tense gaming moment!

Personally I use the audio Portal to put whole songs I have written for no particular reason out-there for people to critisize. This track sounds like it is written for the Flash artists on Newgrounds and would sound great as a tense piece of battle music in a game. If I had a Flash movie with a battle scene, this tune would run throughout it!

[Bike Ride]

NICE!

Definately one for the Miscellaneous category, don't u think they should have an Electronica category? This piece is short but sweet, my only problem is that I was waiting for some drums to kick in. Add some drums to this after the start and it should pick it up nicely I reckon! Good shit!

[Fight EM!]

Nice little tune.

I wouldn't quite agree with your description of this tune, but I enjoyed it! Add some cheesy drums over the top and hey-presto u have a video game loop for a gameboy!
Music should be fun!

joshobone responds:

Hey man, thanks for actually reviewing this song. I know it sounds cheesey. You should check out my other song and tell me if u like....its called hexagon

[Living Memories]

Tingly!

Well this was definately mellow, but I would call it more 'Tranquil, yet Disturbing'! Wasn't what i was expecting, reminds me of a haunting 'Aphex Twin' style track. If you want to make it even more weird why not throw in some backwards, high-pitched vocals, with loadsa reverb on them, should mess with peoples minds a bit!
Good Job.

[SPASTiC GiMP - ANGER]

It needs more

A phat bassline would've been nice, and I like the angryness of the drums. It's short, but is too repetetive, i reckon u should get a few more vocal samples from the start, chop them up and throw them into the mix.

mmmmmmmm Angry!
