StaticLF's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[child of the woods]

Wow that is amazing. I can feel just so much emotion from the singing alone. The filter of crackling in the into vocals is a bit of a minus for me. Other than that, damn good piece of work.

Troisnyx responds:

... There's no filter there, that is raw. Also, please tell me— crackling where?

EDIT: I think I see now, that's in the mid-choruses; I don't recall using distortion anywhere else, but I can understand it being a minus for some.

EDIT: If you're referring to the intro vocals, that was not a filter. That was raw. 👀

[The Legend]

Damn son, that is off the chain right there! I'm impressed at how much you have done with just the demo. I would download it, but it is only 45 seconds. I guess my only complaints to this is that it is not long enough, and the bass on the kick is a little high. Maybe it is from the amount of repetition, or I have my volume up to high. Other than that, kudos bro.

xxUltimaWeapon responds:

No sweat, i'm just stoked you liked it! I really appreciate the review. And the kick could have used a little more tweaking. I do plan on redoing this someday when I have the Full Version of FL haha. Someday. Thanks!!!

[Planet Hopper]

You got some pretty cool sounds in there bro. I would say that the intro drags on a little to, needs more background, or something to help fill in the repetitive parts. One last thing is that the whole song could use more frequencies. To me it feels a little empty. Don't know what you were going for, just thought I would let you know.

Fuzzy-L0g1c responds:

Thanks, those are two very good points. I see how the repetitive drums at the beginning could quickly feel repetitive, and I see that I left out some high frequencies at many parts of the song.

[Reason #1]

This sounds great, I love the ambiance that it has. Such smooth progression it is like butter man. The only thing that I didn't like was the crackling that you could hear through out the song.

CowardlyLion responds:

Thank you very much! I kind of threw together the EQ and mastering stuff last minute and decided to make an attempt at a slight vinyl sound. Thought it'd work out well, haha. Sorry man!

[Dan Torque - Stream]

I have to say this is pretty damn good my friend. All of the transitions are smooth as butter, It isn't overly complex but isn't to simple. I could listen to this song for days. Glad I stumbled onto to this piece of work man, good job.

Dyrdi responds:

Thank you :)

[HT || Greeting Death]

Man that was great, never really heard a dubstep song that was so peaceful. When I was listening to this, I start thinking about rain and a break in the clouds, I could feel an accomplished feeling, also you gave this song a really good title. It amazes me how much emotion I get from this song, awesome work bro.

HyperTrough responds:

Glad you got a nice experience from it :) Had some good inspiration for this one! Thanks for the review man ;D

[untitle.2]

I can see that you have made some necessary improvements to your song but could still use some work. It is better than before but it needs equalizing. The beat is a bit loud and drowns out your other pieces, especially the kick at the end of the beat, it kind of hurts my ears. One more thing is that this sounds more like techno then house, I'm not to sure but that is just my opinion.

3.5/5 Don't stop, you can achieve perfection with practice, hope this helps your out mate.

ruptor responds:

ok thnx

[untitle]

Okay I don't want be a jerk but, I have to be truthful. This song just seem like you threw a bunch of sounds together, the beat kind of fit but the pad in the middle of the song seemed out of place. You want to make a song that flows together and has sounds that compliment each other. another thing is your beat, I could tell it was the default claps, snares, etcetera. You could google up some packs to help your beats sound better and more fitting, here's a link that I found - but your lead and second lead were pretty good.Here is a site that I found useful Don't let my review keep you from stopping, but I would rather you take it as advice and improve from it. That's what reviews are for right.
2.5/5 Keep practicing, not bad for a start.

ruptor responds:

thnx for the advice but actualy not all wht u ust said is true..

[Serene Tranquility]

Hey man not bad, not bad at all, the only thing that I find a little troublesome is the length(not sure if this is complete or a work in progress), and the beat seem to be a bit overruling. I'm not saying that it is a bad beat but when you listen to the song it's pretty much what you hear over the other sounds and what not, a little bit of equalizing would help that.

4/5 Good stuff man hope this helps.

jasfab responds:

Thanks man! Yes, this is indeed work on progress. It has to be a lot longer and I haven't put much work in equalizing. But I wasn't aware of the the beat being overrulling so I will adapt that very quickly. Thanks for your helpful review!

[clockwork :: EX-EVO]

Wow that was great man, really liked the ending, it was set up well. All the different sounds playing together that well, interesting to listen to, keep it up.

MisterMonroe responds:

Second comment in one night? Huh... But yeah, after some harsh crit, I had to teach myself be less repetitive, or be repetitive properly- as well as save some instruments for last. That's obviously working, even if some of my more favorite pieces get a small bit. But thanks for the comment. I'm trying hard, and I already knew this was one of my best songs, even if it isn't much. Gifts seem to work out better than anything else, so maybe I should do more of those!
