Kingbastard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-=LJC=- 8-bitty Ditty]

chippy chips

man i love chip/lo-fi. The sub-bass in this tune is genius. this trk almost could be a theme for a mobile phone company:) Loved it, really addictive.

LJCoffee responds:

Hey, wow - a month late with my response. (sorry)
Thanks for the comments - Now I guess I'll need to start calling mobile service companies. ;)

[Newgrounds: Still Alive (BETA)]

hmm...

I find this very sad, that's not to say it isn't entertaining. Maybe you should utilise your talents into making some original material that doesn't whore off a website?
Not bad though, get's 7/10 from me.

sonicmega responds:

Indeed, there are some times when I consider that I could make some original material, and in fact I have. Examples include the personal Odes I do from time to time, the two of which are also submissions into the Audio Portal. On the side, however, I also do my usual voice acting, so I guess sometimes I just like to take material that already exists and put an original twist on it.

Thank you for your opinion, nevertheless. I'm glad it still managed to get a decent score from you.

[-Control: Crowd-]

good stuff

corny techno sounds, but very well made and produced.
Would've been better as a DnB track imo.

Waterflame responds:

might be, but i would have to redo the whole thing then =/ and the bass was to.. phumping and non-gritty to be a dnb. but who knows? maybe ill try that remake some time ;D thanks for the review :D

[Overdose (preview)]

h e l l o

bass volume is fine, nice n subby which is how i like it.
This is a very chilled tune which I think is crying out for some female vocals in an 'Air Moon Safari' kinda way.
Really nice, but the birdy warble gets a little irritating in parts, i would take it out after the start.
The piano sounds a little out of place imo, i would like to have heard a synth sound instead, something nice and lo-fi.
Good tune man.

padlock916 responds:

Thanks for the review. I'm not quite sure if i should keep the piano in the ending but thanks for the suggestion.

[(::Rebirth of Stars::)]

hmm

it's not bad, a little slow, doesn't do much, but a lot of ambient tunes dont. The panning is nice, but I can't help thinking that a lot of the sounds are presets from a vst and not much effort has gone into actually making this piece, I may be wrong, and I don't want to offend, but it's just not my bag, sounds like a demo from a synth in my opinion, but it's still nice.

FatKidWitAJetPak responds:

Sorry, but you are completly wrong. I never use any pre-sets on my songs except for some of my earlier ones. I played this on a keyboard. Please don't vote on an idea with no evidence what so ever. And please don't vote on weither or not it is "Your kind of song"

[All The Things You Said [192k]]

dont do covers......

I think you're vox are ok, but the beats and sounds used are not to my liking at all.

jnry3 responds:

Uhm... this is not a cover...? *Confused*

But thanks for the review! ^_^

[(::The Water::)]

very nice

unoffensive dance music. Nice happy refrain and qualityproduction and some good melodies to boot:)

FatKidWitAJetPak responds:

Very nice words.

[Space Glider]

nice

NIce retro electro sound to it, would have liked to have heard some nice lo-fi beats, old NES style beats, glitched up over this would sound cracking.

goog job man.

Dark-Frando responds:

My first loop on here had a sort of an 8-bit sound to it. Although I do make the songs with retro games in mind, I also like to add a sort of more modern feel to them. I'm just not so sure how my way of mixing old with new will really work so I'll work a bit more to my music experience and maybe try it later when I have more confidence in my work ^_^

Thanks for the review as well =D

[Orbital Reflection +]

liked it...

...which is suprising as i dont really have any time for Trance usually, but this is really well put together. the organ-like distorted riff is a little piercing though, too high in the mix imo. nice slowdown at the end.

EchozAurora responds:

thanks for stopping by, ya bastard..

I'll have to make sure to stop by and take a listen of your newer stuff and shoot ya a review back.

Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the review!

(And yeah.. I think the triple octave jump was a bit much in retrospect, I'll have to keep that in mind in the future)

[bringing saxy back (final]

great + :)

like the little subtle messes, the afx style slow down glitches are great. Just adds to what is a great tune.

snoballandthmonyshot responds:

"great + :)"
