Lefoby's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Windbreaker (2)]

This is wonderful. Perfect ambient music. I have nothing else to say about it.

LimeDisciple responds:

Thankyou so much.

[Norato - Hearth beat]

First of all, this was very well made. Hence the five.

The kick is fine; it fits in well with the rest of the song. However, by itself -- as in the beginning -- it's way overpowering. I'm able to hear the kick's pitch pretty easily, and I don't think that should happen. After that first few seconds, though, it's not a problem.

The drops are good. Picking it back up, however, was sort of awkward. The first one, at 0:45, did well, but I feel as though you only added the drop for variety. I just expected something more. Instead, I felt that the piece was a little dead. I know it's trance. I'm not expecting some dubstep drop or a dance-like melody or anything, but I wanted something more. The second drop, at 1:30, did much better as far as serving a purpose, but that cymbal right after the drop was a little too much. It might sound better if you took the echo off it.

Besides those two things, though, I enjoyed it. Well done.

Norato responds:

ok, so the first drop I wanted to make in Tiesto style, thats why there is only lead and kick. I also know why you didnt like it, there is nothing new after the drop, and ther ALWAYS should be something new, I original wanted to make the lead in the intro sound diffeent, but thats still in progress,

Outro is missing becouse as I allready said, the song is in progress and will be released with the album.

Thanks for review and 5 stars :)

[Pressure From Below]

I really have very little to say. Overall I enjoyed it. It makes for a good loop, too, so good work with that. My only criticism is that the first higher synth -- comes in around 0:16 -- is a little too weepy for me. It sounds sickly, and I don't really feel that it fits with the rest of the song. Besides that, though, everything is good.

EmperorCharlemagne responds:

I might have added too much vibrato to that particular instrument. Ha ha, it's one of the few effects in the program I know how to use so I tend to go overboard.

Thanks for the constructive remarks, and I'm glad you liked it.

[Capitalist Pig]

Overall, this was pretty good. I thought the music was really good. I don't know whether this was your intention, but this song makes for good background music. I could see it in a montage or action scene pretty well. However, the speech part could have gone better. The speech coming in at around 2:10 took me by surprise and didn't seem to fit in. The same goes at 2:30. The end and the beginning went pretty well. Consider giving the end a bit more time to die out. Getting into 0:57 was a bit awkward, but leaving it was good. I don't think I would change it, it's just something I noticed.

Thegluestickman responds:

Thank you for the review, the criticism really helps :)
The speech at 2:10, was supposed to be a kind of prelude to the solo. It was a bit of a gamble. The speech at 2:30 was supposed the same as the beginning. But I'm glad you liked the music, and thank you for the review.

[Brass And Wood]

For what it is so far, I enjoyed it. I do feel that the guitar part -- I think it's a guitar, anyway -- is a little too random and intrusive. The piano part goes well in this, and the drums are pretty good, but not exceptional. Keep it up; see where it goes.

Also, Yngvi49, I think in English what your talking about are quarter notes and eighth notes.

Romwell responds:

Thanks! I am not a guitar player. Next time I might just ask a friend instead of using a VST. As for the drums, I still have a lot to learn :)

[Des Waltz]

I'm kind of split on what to give this. As just a song or a DnB song, it's pretty good. But as a waltz, it's bad. If I had heard this without knowing the title, I would have never known it was supposed to be a waltz. Still a good song, though.

DesoloZ responds:

its a waltz because it goes by 3/4 beat other than the normal 4/4

[The Simple Drum Loop]

Nice drumbeat

But I didn't like the synth. I would have preferred something a little more, I don't know, definitive. The pitch didn't really come across well. It sounded like the synthesizer was sick.

FL Studio is, by the way, an awesome program. I've been using it for a few months now. Just play around with the different synths and find stuff you like.

Nice job, and good luck.

ChineseBoar1995 responds:

Well this is the first song I did using FL Studio, so not everything is not perfect. I am starting to get used to it, yet I am still learning new things about it.

And yes, FL Studio is an awesome program
Thanks!
