JimmyTheCaterpillar's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[OHD]

Ooh this is neat. A lot of diversity in this one. I really thought I was gonna hate this one because of the first three seconds but it changed really fast. I liked how you kinda combined VG sounds, modern jazziness, dat bass, and just a little oldskool hiphop (it was in the rhythm after 0:40) in this song, it all blends together very well.

My only tiny complaint is that from 0:21-0:39 in that rainy VG kinda part, while it sounded really good, the static washed out most of the music. Try and EQ that.

However, this is really, really good!

FrankMunoz responds:

Tyty,
I did lotsa panning stuff during that section, and I really didn't check to see how it sounds on other headphones/systems so that may be the cause for me not noticing it.

[In The Works]

I always find industrial insanely neat and interesting.

This is a great song in some ways, and a bit boring in others.

It sounds great, and it loops great as well, nothing is wrong with it musically.

However, this sounds incredibly repetitive, and it's boring after a while, to the point where I deducted 2 stars. Add some unique parts and you have yourself a song here, my friend!

ZLEAP responds:

I added a unique part. I wonder if your review is as accurate now.

[LB - Freezing (Piano)]

Really quite good, you didn't trip up even once. The fact you did this by ear amazes me. You have some real skill

LazyBucks responds:

Thanks, well I know my music theory so it wasn't too hard to play it by ear.

I started writing out the full score anyway so more of it in the future :D

[Crystallized Land]

It's pretty good, it's a bit boring to listen to before it picks up at 0:35 because it's a little repetitive and nothing is really going on. However, after it picks up it's awesome! No repetitiveness at all and it's just really, really interesting to listen to.

Nice.

ApprenticeBlacksmith responds:

Thank you!

There is actually some vocals at start but I can't upload em in newgrounds since those vocals are from game.
Should have added something else to start for making it more intresting :S
Thank you for review!

[Icebound Beyond]

This is really really good. I like the buildup and use of instruments.

My only thing is that I'm not sure this is jazz.

Favorited.

StaticBunny responds:

I threw a jazz organ in there, so I called it jazz. I'm really not sure what genre you'd call this.

[Da Nobbie (Clabtrap 2013)]

That's not a bad little rap. Funny, too.

That was a pretty good taunt to the others.

Good luck.

DivoFST responds:

Thanks buddy! :D

[crap city]

Not bad, but not perfect either. The sound of the song is just a tad distorted, and it's very repetitive and all 'chorus' if you know what I mean.

Keep trying, you'll get it soon.

Ghost21b responds:

lol i know what ya mean :) i just wanted to put a clearer version of what i had when i was high. not even sure im going to do anything withit.

[Safe inside the dome]

While this is a good song in general, it's not particularly my cup of tea. Since this was entered in a contest, I'll review you in my own personal opinion and through the eyes of the contest judges.

The mixing is really quite good, although it is very repetitive, you did a great job building this song, I didn't hear any bad notes, save one or maybe two. So not bad at all.

Contest-wise, this could either be a hit or miss. In my eyes you could write a song about a biodome in two ways. One, what you did, with the safe and happy feeling. Or, two (I woulda done this one) make it a bit spacey, and safe-ish sounding, but add a creepy, eerie sense of mystery with a slight tinge of fear of the outside. If I were judging, I would prefer the latter, but hey, you never know.

Good luck.

Jernemies responds:

Thanks :)
At first I was going to do such spacey thing, but I really didn't get such "spark" to it. Instead, when looking at the other image our artist provided, this was the outcome. Contest-wise, it was a miss, as people didn't really think of a biodome as a place of safety and happiness D: Oh well
Thanks for the rev

[Final Siege]

This is a really great song. I like the incorporation of different kinds of instruments, like the electric guitar, and that sweet horror movie sound at 1:30.

I think you have a real chance at winning this contest you're in. Good luck, friend.

Emid responds:

Thank you my friend for the kind words and well wishing. Really appreciate but there are really awesome entries already in the contest and I can sense some great composers are coming soon. I am happy that I have finally participated in some NG contest :)
