pitbulljones's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sleep Walking Day Dreamer (Alt Mix)]

thanks for posting this

ConnorDeVaux responds:

Yeah I was having trouble with it, this one and now the one I did, I had to change the file I uploaded and rename it so now I have to keep it with a comma in it.

[No Time (Instrumental)]

I hear you.

I hear your direction. Just relax, work to a metronome, a little less verb. You make great music, I understand you want loose, but sloppy/overplaying, doesn't help you.

your flange needs bass cutting.

Keep doing what you do just be more professional and mix better

[At Last]

oooooooooooooooooooooo,

what is that vocal?

Dude, you hitting soul. great chorus, sparse, allowing the shine. bum chord 1:15.

But hey this is church. Add some more to this, motown drums, a bass. Drive this man.

Midnights-Ocean responds:

Voice student I recorded for a demo she could use. Yeah I thought I had heard one sour chord in there somewhere. I'll take another listen at that time stamp when I can. Thanks!

heh yeah I would add more to this but I really don't have the time. I'm only half way through 300+ tunes to remaster. @.@;

[Galactic 747 (short)]

ooooooooooooooooo

that is wibbly wobbly. I love stereo fuckery.

40 seconds, dudes playing reversed reverb reversed delays, you filthy bastard.

I would not use that koto part, let those delays and verbs just swell. Just add singular notes man, long drawn string swells. harp pluck, or some brushed piano. The koto detracts from the soundscape for me.

I love it regardless

Midnights-Ocean responds:

Thanks for the feedback. Wish they hadn't taken down my finished version (link below), so you could have reviewed that instead. Glad you dig.

[Sleep Walking Day Dreamer]

Nice. really nice. I don't know if this is intentional but the thin/muffled tone works.

There are some issues with cross phase, and it really hampers the vocal.

The licks are great, drums are great, the vocal style is great. I really think you need a good producer and studio technician. For all the promise in a track I like immensely, you are doing yourself no favours with the current recordings.

Please PM me, if you have the stems to hand I will happily provide a mix, free of charge. Just so you can hear the difference.

Keep up the work making great songs, you have loads of potential and an audience out there who will listen. You need to polish up though.

ConnorDeVaux responds:

I mean I record this in my room with a computer and busted equipment, can't really do much better with what I got. Shit I play with broken sticks but if you wanna give it a shot to fix the mix...

The muffled tone was intentional, i put a towel over my snare and moved my 57 a bit further back than normal. Thanks again

[File 7]

You have a very distinctive style and tone to your music, the acid synth with the chill hip hot 808. If I heard you in the wild with no reference I'd say it's you.

I like this a lot. It's a really funky tune. Ok, it's a bit busy on the lead, and doesn't add much. But the groove is money. send me the groove, i'll have a play on guitar with it.

KEEP THE GROOVE.

[Oh God Oh Man]

I aint into this one bit bro. It's not rock. It's loud, busy, almost trying too hard, your bass line is where your groove is at, build on that. Just relax.

i 5 as always but this didn't butter my toast.

Midnights-Ocean responds:

always appreciate the honesty. This track is nothing special IMO but it's a track, so it gets remastered same as the rest.

[Clocktown]

How is this bluegrass?

Onefin responds:

because it's country music influenced by jazz and blues and characterized by virtuosic playing of banjos and guitars and high-pitched, close-harmony vocals

[Chill Rising]

Yes mate!

This is pitbulljones ballpark. I'm thinking me throwing some riffs and swells on guitar.

I reaaaaaly like this. it's balanced, it's retro, dark, funky.

5 bro

Syntrus responds:

So do it throw some riffs on there and say you sampled me.

[Sky Battle]

ok.

Too loud. All of it.

Drag the levels down jeez.

The playing is good. Some of your riffing is out but it's a minor thing.

Seriously though, the volume is a huge issue. Have a look at some mixing tutorials.

Catpocalypse responds:

I really appreciate the review! I'm going to start using a guitar interface pretty soon. I'm hoping that'll improve my sound quality and volume so I won't have to use so much gain.
