BLACKNOISE's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Light Bender]

Oh man, I love those saws

I dunno what's with the submissions today, but lots of them have that retro vintage saw wave chord sound, and honestly, I cannot get enough of it. So you've won my biased vote already for this song, haha :P

You had a very nice introduction, everything fit. I only have three complaints with this song (keep in mind that I love the song so it's pretty hard to find the complaints):

One, the piano was the FL Keys from FL! I suggest you go and find yourself a nice piano VST or something because honestly, those keys just sound far too cheesy. I enjoyed the song, but the keyboard took away a significant amount of feeling from it. At 41 seconds in, you instroduce this really high saw... REALLY high. It hurt my ears :( Just put it down an octave and I'm sure it'll be fine. Lastly, please, only use a guitar if you have a guitar player, or if you have some really kickass samples, man! FL Slayer sounds really bad.

The arrangement of the song is powerful and diverse, so it's something that I really enjoyed. You did a great job on the song, you just have a few things to work on on it, and then I'd listen to this song all the time :)

Could you do me a favor and check out my newest piece called "Emotions of a Crowbar"? I'd really appreciate it, and I'm sure you'd enjoy the track :) Check it out at:

Keep the tunes comin' man, and keep it easy!

[Go K.K. Rider! (AC)]

Awe, I never heard the original.

It makes the remix music better to listen to if you have heard the original. Oh well, I'll cope. Lots of these video game themes seem to be based off of Zelda, Mario, FF and Sonic anyways, and I've heard all those, so it can't be that much different eh? Haha :P

I like what you've done mostly with the piece, but I'd like to hear a really great hard hitting drum track in the background, or possibly even one of your own melodies in the forefront? Consider that for the future, and your remixes will even be better man. Trust me ;)

Keep remixing songs! From what I'm hearing, you've got a lot of potential. Just remember; the point of a remix is to not necessarily make it sound cool, but to put your own mark on the music, as it were. Make the song your own, not the original artists.

I'd really appreciate it if you would check out my newest piece called "Emotions of a Crowbar". You can check it out here:

Keep the tunes coming, and keep it easy man!

[Anima Vs -ZENON-]

I had to vote again.

Yar, I love school. Alternate accounts + more IP addresses mean that I can vote again.

:-D

And yeah, we totally should do another collab. I, personally would be looking forward to it :)

[Tetris Dirty Remix]

sigh...

I don't care if this is a 'dirty' mix, this is a pretty half assed attempt at making a remix.

The song has no real structure, if its dirty, make it dirty. Not jumbled.

The only thing I can actally give you points for is effort, and originality. Try and make your music more enjoyale to listen to...

HouseMasta responds:

theres always one....

a dirty remix is a jumbled one fool. geez, where have you been. and this isnt half assed, i spend an entire weekend [30+ hours] making this so shut up. over 300 tracks and patterns is a lot to throw in.

also, your stuff isnt that great either so dont be so critical if you cant back it up. i do appreciate constructive critizism, but you dont have anything constructive to say because you dont know what youre talking about!

your master,
HouseMasta

[ParagonX9 vs KFNX - The Legend]

hello hello!

i see that you finally got off your lazy ass and submitted another song...but this isnt jsut a song, its a collab!

thats a hell of a lot of effort!

Now submit some original songs!
:P

The collab had many different elements in it, that i thourgluy enjoyed. But the drums didnt have the oomph that i like in your songs, and the synths...were too calming.

:/

the theory in the end was pretty amazing tho, but im not to sure which one of you did that :P

good work, looking foreward to more from you.

[DJ[Z] - Evolution]

hey man.

i thought id leave a review.

This song jumps straight into it.
I thought that the song would be very iffy because of the cheap techno drums and the obvious presets, but..so far its pretty good.
i like the melody.
there is one thing bugging me though.
you have some kind of bell instrument going that is kind of throwing the song off...cause your pitch-flanging it.
by now that little fast hi hat is kinda gettin on my nerves...maybe turn it down?
This doesnt really fall under 'trance'...

id say more of 'dance'.
it has a large techno influence, but its very danceable.
kudos on that.
This melody is very addictive.
the fade off at the end made me pretty dissapointed.
i would have put a little more effort into the ending.

my summary:
quatlity: Some of the instruments needed to be turned up and whatnot, but pretty decent there.

arrangment: repetitve, but thats what dance is.

insutruments: it didnt seem like you made one yourself, so not to much effort right there.

good job overall.

7/10

P.S. if you still wanna collab, talk to me on MSN.

zeeber85 responds:

well i wouldn't really consider anything preset because the one thing that was "preset" was highly modified. I also built apon it to ake it vary from the original.

The bells weren't pitch flanged so not sure what you are refering to. As for the rest of the song it was all original stuff. I like the ending, but you are entitled to your own opinion.

Anyway thanks for the review with a lot of info! It helps!
