Zadamanim's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[8 Bit Adventure Mode]

Awesome :D

i love how you used pitch bend, what program did you use? (btw for my tastes drums could have been louder, and the melody dropped just a bit, after all you do cover it with high octaves 90% of the time, so it'll still stand out)

ElBonzi responds:

Thanks a lot, its just standard fruityloops using 3xOSC

[Torn Apart by the Wolves]

umm...

Ur recording or uploading screwed up.

[His Last Rave (Prog. Demo)]

when you finish it...

be sure to make the melody loudest. Right now, the bass is louder than the melody, also, at 1:31, the melody changes key on the way down. When you do that it sounds like you just put in random notes in a sequence. tip: stay in a one key, unless you lead into and change everything into a relative or parallel key, or really know what your doing.

DJ-Species responds:

Hey! I went ahead and took your advice and it sounds alot better! Thanks man..

[S.A.D.]

LOL

mainly just mixing issues, the vocals were way too loud, i coulnt tell how the vocals were supported by the music, i could barely hear it in the background. Bring down the vocals, maybe add a intro/verse/chorus/verse/chorus/build up/chorus/end structure (standard mainstream music structure, you hear this in every song ever to hit the top 40 since Beethoven), and resubmit it, and u have a winner :P

DocterCerebro responds:

lol thanks for the review. I made this for kicks and for people who have a sense of humor like you and I.

[slikshat]

hmm

you got enough here to make like a 30sec to a 1min loop or something, It would have sounded a lot better if you took out some of the repeats. You could also easily improve it by changing the instruments around, instead of one loop gets exactly one instrument (this is most effective on melodic lines, or rather, the instruments that play melodic lines.)

[Breathe Demo]

interesting, i like :D

Its good, I like the unique use of, are they 128th notes(?)
The only thing I noticed was that the vocals were a loud, tho it could be that my computer speakers have no bass.. alas, limitations
anyway, If you are familiar with flutes, then you know if you do not blow correctly, you produce a "breathy" tone, which is kinda what sounds like is in the background when she sings.
I would have lowered the tone (not the pitch tho) of the voice just a little, to be smooth with the rest of the song, or she could sing louder, then lower the volume of the track, either way it would fix the tone problem.
btw, the intro was sick ;D, u could u that instrument as a kick between verses or give it a synth solo, just an idea

Nitr0gen responds:

cheers for the review man :) Yeah the vocals are actually taken from when she sang the track and it was acoustic, hence the problem. When we get a chance, we'll re-record them. I found the mix really hard, because when I play it on my laptop, the vocals do sound too high but when I listen with my headphones or speakers, they're not.

Useful review though :) Thanks alot.

[my new organ beat]

I like it :o

I usually dont like hip hop/rap, but this got me rapping about tankmen and P-bot :3
It got sorta repeditive around the half-way point, but i think rap is supposed to do that, so here's ur 10/10 and 5/10

[emissivity demo]

wow

really nice bass, good mixing, the only improvements I could think of is a little more variety in the bell-like melody that plays from the begining to the end the same way, and that the nice pad that comes in half way through the loop kinda fades out on the last beat or two beats, for cleaner looping. Really nice, thanks for the submission ^^

yagru responds:

thanks for the thoughts! your welcome!!!

[collab demo]

some good ideas, but really drawn out

I like the way the the beat and the bass fit together nicely, a couple things tho
1. there is enough actual music here to create a 1 minute loop, you guys really milked those three tracks. Im sure that since this is a wip, you guys will add stuff for the next submission
2. The If the drum loop can be divided, there would be snare/bass drums, the high hat sounds, and this gritty wob sound, I didnt like the gritty sound, kinda didnt fit in to the rest of the music. If you want some low rez distortion tho, u can put it in with a synth, which would also help fix 1.
All in all, thanks for the submission! hope the finished product is great ;D

omikron1989 responds:

it's only the skeleton bro, my friend will hopefully use this and build on top to make something really cool. And of course anyone who wants to try is free to do so :)

[Rose At Midnight]

Woah!!

makes me think of games like Grandia and Eternal Sonata
GUITAR RUN AT 1:35 WAS SEXY!! EARGASM
loops amazingly too!! <--wishes he could put that in caps but that would be excessive
