pitbulljones's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Galactic summer (3:27)]

I have to say

I am simply awestruck with how far you've come on musicially, and thats not to say you were bad before as you were awesome, but you have developed into a truly great musician. im amazed i really am, you're understanding of music, your choice of instrumentation and the abilty to cross genres and belnd them together is astounding. I love this track, with the acid bass, and old school drums and horn section it's a throwback to early 90's late night dance. top stuff, i can hear some jaz elements on the rhodes too, which compliments the horns. the drums and the bass do feel a little light in the mix, a bit pushed back maybe you jst need to put a heavy limiter on the whole track and bring it's level up.

great stuff yet again.

5/5

WinTang responds:

Wow! Thanks a lot! It's so funny how differently people listen - you really focus on song structure and composition, and production in the second place, right? Same as me :)
I'm really happy with all the reviews you gave me, it really motivates and gives me new ideas. Thanks!

[Grieg - Notturno (4:40)]

brilliant

after reading a few of the other reviews and understanding how this piece should be played, i understand what they are saying. the piece is too expressive, but i'm loving it regardless. i don't know a lot aboyut theory so i'll leave this short and sweet. top stuff, a great talent and another 5/5

WinTang responds:

Thanks! Note that it's not my composition though (just to be sure). It's more of a piano exercise than anything but I'm glad I got the beauty of the piece across :)

[Coming of the water (2:31)]

WOW

Plain and simply fucking grad A shit. Can you remember the old technicolour films from hollywood during the 50's and 60's. this is like a track from one of them films. the instrumentation is simply awesome. and when that crystal bell and string section comes in it's really magical. I love your music man. so diverse and creative. u just seem to be on a constant curve of developin into a great musician. damn man fricking A.

5/5

oh btw the 2/2 as a degree is the equivalent to a C grade

WinTang responds:

"oh btw the 2/2 as a degree is the equivalent to a C grade"

I did not get that, lol.

Thanks a lot for your kind words, they really touched me - this time in not such a gay way!

[Meanwhile, in...]

awwwww...

how cute and quaint this is. you say you wrote this for a play? send me the script man, what with e acting and stuff id rather read a script tahn a book anyday. anyway you have a lovely style of piano playing, applying fragmented chords and juxtaposing 7ths and minors, i mean it's very esy to do but it just sounds great. i'd love to hear you on a proper piano in a reverb chamber. this would suit an rpg or summat this. or a short scen on loop.

great stuff again

4/5

WinTang responds:

Thanks!
The script is in Dutch though, I don't think you're going to get a lot of it...
This is a proper grand piano, btw, even in a sorta reverb chamber. I recorded it in the studio at my school. I could've added some more reverb, probably, though I like it to be a little shrill.
Lemme look up what quaint means...
1. Charmingly odd
2. Unfamiliar or unusual in character
3. Cleverly made, artful
Woohoo!! :D

Thanks man.

[Gospel for dummies - demo]

"Jazz....Niiiiiice" Fast show...

I just realised i havent reviewed you in aggggggeeeesssss, so im goin on a reviewing spree for you. Well, this tune is quality, very 'jazzy' which you know being jazz is kinda the aim. some of the instruments sound a bit synthesised tho, i don't know what programme you're using or vst's but it does affect the authenticity of the track. that bass is the main one, the rhodes organ is sound tho as are the drums.

i don't actually know alot about jazz, its form and structure or it's lack of, but it does feel it has a bit too much structure to it, i think thats cos you're playing all the parts and jazz comes from a group of musicians who have different interpretations of music. anyways i really liked the track, theres a jazz club in manchester which im gonna have to go to, as its very cool music, its a jolly good effort. an for this effort you recieve a 4/5.

WinTang responds:

Hehe... this is definitely a great surprise man, 7 new reviews by you!! Thanks a lot!!

The funny thing is that there is nothing else than drums and Rhodes to this... what you interpreted as the bass is just the left hand. One drum track, one Rhodes track, is all it is. I haven't fiddled too much with the VST options, so I can understand that it does seem synthesized at points. Furthermore, it needs some upright bass.

You make a very interesting point about the structure, if I ever expand this I'll try to "transform" into other musicians to try the difference in interpretations. I would have never thought of that, so thanks a lot for mentioning that.

Great comments man! You rock! It will be returned soon.

[Coffee Shop]

too generic

your use of instrumentation ruins whatever chance this song had of bein a success, all the parts are from a gm bank of midi sounds, you need more authenticty to your sounds. gm just doesnt cut it, go to www.kvraudio.com get sum free synths and revamp your track. the bass is poor, the piano is poor, the drusm are poor, the arrangement it self isnt that bad it's just let down by bad instrruments.

3/5

kilder responds:

what can i say, i use cakewalk pro audio 9

[Zombaby]

i lol

strange shit, really strange shit. this tuen is crazy, but it's got major faults. i don't mind musicicality, and the exploration of music but, its a poor play. the guitars is poor, the vocals are poor, it's a poor tune to be honest. you need to use a bettermic and ur vocal is just muddled. take your time work on stuff to make it ;professional'

2/5

[Sewercide]

not bad

it's an okay track, not bad but nothing spectacular. ur chorus guitar is too distant and doesnt fit too well, the drums sound like an fl genric loop, and you use of samples contravens copyright law which is a no no, i like the experimentation, but you have to be aware that the site and not just you can get in to shit for samplin withou permission. it doesn't really develop either, no, bass, no real support instruments. it's a 2.5/3 out of 5 tbh, it's not really that gud.

sorry.

[Nightmare Equinox]

oooooooohhhhhhhh

i'm trying to put my finger on what genre this actually is. it's like you know power rock, ballad shit lol. very cool, i didn't expect to hear this when it loaded up. the strings are really nice and your guitar is clear and crisp, which is a sign of excellent production skills. the lil flute at the end to, it shows this track was leading somewhere else, id like to hear where it does go. this track is in podcast4.

anyways yea, 9/10

and i'll give you a 5/5

pitbulljones (in the indie section if you ever fancy going by and reviewing.)

[<sonar>]

blissful

really like this track mate, so chilled out. the chord progression is very unnerving, ive used a similar type for oneof mine, it gives it that eerie feel. it does seem to be only an intro though, you should develop this into a longer piece. add sum percussion and bass, some more supportin instrumentation. very nice tho. it'll feature in podcast 4.

4/5

SineRider responds:

I was thinking of adding a drum beat of some sort to the song, but it sounded out of place. I may make a longer version of the song in the future. Thanks for the review and putting me on the podcast.
