pitbulljones's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Pit]

The Pit(bull) lol

I love this, i'm all over this retro vibe. Some beautiful sines and a chorded ice tri pad, which is epic. The bass could be a bit more natural and less acid like, though the squelchy notes do help drive your groove. I'd prefer a more natural tone.

That main synth man i love it.

Percussion nicely verb'd. Generally mix is fine, some nice pan and well eq'd.

This has huge potential. I may even borrow it to try a guitar part out.

Syntrus responds:

I’d love to hear a guitar part on it.

[Virus]

interesting. A bit too heavy in the mix. Just lower the levels a bit.

[Meaning of Life]

oooooooooooooo

I can hear where your month has gone. Its very well written, part for part.

1:20 excels. I think your instrument choice is perfect.

Your piano, is too bassy in comparision with the rest of your song. A lack of dynamics and a flat eq hurts the mix. No panning, which for an orchestral piece is disheartening.

It develops well, and movement between phrases is great.

That month you spent writing, spend another producing, you then have work to demo to studios.

[Just Havin A Smoke]

It's a nice piano piece. It's a good performance. A bit by number. But what you have here is a very nice track.

Bring this out with a better line on. cut your reverb in the low end. compression, brighten.

I can hear a song in your 2nd phase, develop that section with a drum. make money.

"make money"

nice lol

appreciate the review but about expanding it, this was just a track that came to me while i was (surprise surprise) havin a smoke. i dont expect to do much with it

[Vaporoid]

Squishy bass, ambient sine pads, hip hop beats. Acid arps. Balanced. Mood. Funky.

You get a vocal on this you are earning coin. Love it.

Get a vocal on it.

ps

Get A FUCKIN VOCAL ON IT

[Run & Hide [Remastered]]

Awwwwww mate. This is so good. Simplicity has it's place and it's here. Your vocals are wonderful. Very lennon/mccartney like. That is some lovely riffage. I would maybe add a full drum kit on this, but that is just my preference. That accordian/clarinet tone.....god damn.

That bit of percussion. hell yes.

Production wise, it's faultless. The full track is like peak Brian Wilson.

Mate, you should be promoting this along with your other stuff to radio, you deserve so much more, newgrounds is blessed to have an artist as talented as you amongst their ranks.

it's a 5 all day, I'm gonna purchase your work too.

in awe, as always

[MM7 : Regression]

Well this certainly isn't my taste. But, the mix is really good. Sample choice is bang on. Its got great energy and develops well, it has a nice flow to it. Yea this is a 5 all day.

[we'll meet again]

I like this a fair bit, its right in my ball park. I have to admit though, the japanese harp is distracting. I'd consider a softer instruments, maybe an orchestral pizzicato with a lush verb. At present its clashing with your groove. I like the panning air pad, and the bass compliments your groove nicely. I think it's mixed well but not perfect. In saying that, I can hear the potential in this. A revision of instrument choice, a bit of tlc on verb and eq, I can see this going places.

It's still a 5 regardless

[Tarantella Napoletano - Epic Version]

I don't know the song. But what I can say is they are some bombastic sounds. God that orchestration sounds epic. Did you perform the parts or mix a midi?

You can hear the original here: https://youtu.be/U-xsosv6uM0 I use a notation program called Finale where I input all the parts with mouse and keyboard

[Bad Tidings]

Oooooooo them strings are mint. I thought you had too much tremolo initially but you haven't :) I shit you not your opening chords would fit nicely on a track of mine. Called Bad Seed

High strings great, melody is great. Tone is great. I think the piano doesn't sit well, it lacks reverb and sounds separate from the mix, I'd remove it and just play single notes an octave or two lower, really emphasise the mood.

5 as always

Bradley-Pittman responds:

Thanks for the comment man. Yeah the piano was kind of an afterthought tbh.

I dig your track. It's funny you noticed the similarity lol it's definitely there. We must've have similar brood sessions that day.
