pitbulljones's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Very Close and Far Away]

I hear the idea, I see the ambition. I think it needs a bit of tinkering though, you're vocal synth overpowers your mix from 1:00 to 1:45, if you roll it back it would allow the track to breath. Right now it's just a bit overwhelming.

I LOVE your transition though, some solid emotion in them strins, horns and synth. Roll the strins a tiny bit back and add some verb it'd be beautiful.

In my humble opinion I reckon you ditch the first section and develop the 2nd section, there's money in there.

Hey Pitbulljones,

Thanks so much for your review!! :) I really appreciate it, especially with your feedback about tinkering the vocal synth for balance and adding more verbs to the orch section. I'll be sure to play with that a little more if I release a new version.

Thanks again for the great suggestions!

[Lost At Sea (WIP)]

Dark, moody, ambient. I'm happy :)

Midnights-Ocean responds:

Awesome! : D

[Aquifer (remastered)]

Love it bro. Think you need to balance the volume just a bit, but i'm well into this.

Midnights-Ocean responds:

dem pads are rambunctious XD. yeah I'm sure it needs more mixing. I basically polish and smoothen my tracks out a little more each time I revisit them. ^_^

[Shitty Wok]

Oh hell yes! Fucking love it. I'm all in for ambient atmosphere. Drop the bgm just a tad though.

Midnights-Ocean responds:

Thanks!

ooh I'm glad you said that. I had felt it was just a hair rushed.

[Final Fantasy]

Well then! The vocal elevates this track. As a piece of trance it's banging. I really like this. It's perfectly mixed and balanced. All in FL too? Your beats are great. The arrangement is nigh on flawless. I'm going to deep dive your stuff. You deserve it. 5/5

SkyMarshall responds:

Yup, this is all made in FL. As usual. My first new track in 5 years or something, so the plan going in was just to practice chord progressions, fiddle around and get back into it. But as per usual it ended up as a full song after a while. Thanks for the feedback man. Appreciate it.

[48 Hours]

Great use of syncopated delay throughout the track, synth choice is great, wonderful call/response arpeggios.....one criticism and one only...lacking reverb. adding some soft verb would really enhance this track, at present its very boxed in, verb will give this track an ambience...try vahalla, its free and versatile. still a 5 :)

ChadWiggy responds:

Thanks for the tip! I'll see if I can work the reverb in right

[Luminous Skyline Dream]

octave your bass. im working with 100watt actives. love the idea....its ruined by low end. it's clear clean and crisp. but........tighten that bottom the top and mid will shine. hi pass the bass. 8/10

zybor responds:

[Universal Culture]

wow. all my 5 belong to you.

what you working in? Reason ?

zybor responds:

wooot that was fast. thanks for the response!

Bitwig (i know, hipster daw), it's the only thing that work well on Linux and similar to Ableton Live.

[Data_Ctrl]

KB my old muker.

You know, me, not a techno fan. its noise for noise sake. I would out this more to grind core. the amibient synth, wide verb on a lot of synths. you remove the drum, it's amibient. The middle 8 is a wonderful nod to thats element. back in, yea it's right. it knits well, there's some cracking synth, that sawtooth near the end.........cutting and awesome.

mislabled, probably misjudged. LOVE what you are going for.........dont know what it was.

4.5

Kingbastard responds:

I disagree. 'Techno' covers a multitude of electronic styles, this is within those realms, verging on minimal techno. To label Techno as 'noise for noise sake' is a little misjudged in my humble opinion. I don't like to dismiss any genre as there is something good in every one, although in some it is harder to find the wheat among the chaff. There are many many great Techno tracks that are technically and sonically brilliant, good 'noise' indeed;) I thought this track was more Techno than my usual labelling of 'Miscellaneous'. Shame NG doesn't cover more genre categories really. Cheers for taking the time to leave a review.

[Scrubawrub]

Nasty Pasty! Very dark indeed. I like.

LJCoffee responds:

too kind.
