p4c's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[&VADELECT;//]

its cool, but...

the melodies, although simple, were cool and got across a mildly dramatic feel. the drum loop u used was good too. however...

the main synth that plays throughout the song just flat out hurts! its so loud compared to everthing else, and sounds very harsh, so it comes off to me as irritating. also, id like to see more variation in the drums rather than just loop them for the entire song.

so, although the song itself was okay, some elements made it less intersting and listenable than it could be. work hard at it, you can make an awesome song if u tried since this isnt that bad. [sorry if im being harsh or anything, jst givin constructive criticism.]

plz check my stuff! :D

Squirrelous responds:

Thanks! This was one of my earlier works, and I feel like I was just making something for the sake of making it.

[Communism storm]

meh

welll this is okay. the song itself had some energy and the higher synths were nice. howeverrr...

my complaints are that the drums barely have any variation throughout the song, and more distorted drums would sound cooler than using the drum loops uhave right now. also, the bassy effect pad thing jst doesnt feel like me as the best synth u could have used. lastly there was some audio clippage when the song escalated later on. [sorry if i sound mean or something weird like that im jst givin constructive criticism.]

otherwise, the song was pretty cool. for a first attempt, not bad! :D gj!!

check my stuff out :D

[<R+> A Phantom's Rondo]

wellllll

i liked the melodies in the song and some of the distortion of the drums as the song went on, as well as the ambience of the track. my main complaints are that the drums dont do anything interesting but loop, so the track itself comes out liek that. also this song is severely lacking a bassline that could makeit sound a whole lot more powerful. otherwise, gj!

check my stuff plz! im starting to dig into dnb/jungle tracks and i think my newest one is slick. check it :D

[Liquid Sunrise]

hmmmmm

i think that the main melody and stuff sounds sweet and the bassline is great. i think, however, that the melodies dont have enuf low frequencies to sound powerful and the bassline should serve as a more supporting aspect of the track rather than stand out more than the melody did because the melody sounded too weak to stand on its own and the bassline was comparatively louder. Also, the drum patters could be more "active" if you know what i mean, and throughout the piece you were getting some audio clipping. but as an incomplete track, this isnt too bad. i still think the melody sounds uber cool! gj!

check my stuff pretty plz! save my new good track from the evil blammer!

Captain-Watermelon responds:

I'll keep what you said in mind when I start fixing this song up. I probably won't do it right away because I'm starting to get sick of it after working on it so much =P

Thanks for the review!

[[Loudd Beatt!]- Talk for Money]

7s allll around

well before i say anything, i just think that this is more breakbeatish than dnb, jst to tell u.

wellll first i think everything in general sounds a little unclear/distorted but mostly okay. lol.

the drum pattern was nice but u jst kept repeating it for like forever. id like to see some more variation than an occasional 1-2 measure breakdown or something.

the bassline was good, but the synth u used could be better. it didnt sound like it fit with the song, and id like it if it was more mono than stereo. also, the second melody of the bassline that comes in like 1/4 thru could be changed into an actual lead with a different, higher synth rather than act as it does now, and that would be cooler.

i think that you could make this song more interesting by adding more melodies and making this either more relaxed or emotional, if you ask me. lastly the ending didnt seem to fit very well with the weird lo-fi tom things, but thats minor.

check my stuff plz!! :D

LfunkeyA responds:

yeah, i know this track has flaws all over the place, it needs alot of work yet. The beat does get repetitive, and the bassline aint that good. i dont think i'll be reposting this one, cause i'm sick of reposts. i'll try making better tracks. as for the breakbeatish thing, there ain't no breakbeat section on newgrounds :). Anyways, thanks for the review, will check your stuff out right away.

[iNtEnCe DnB _-]Sidetracked[-_]

meh...

the synth and drums were really clear but, yeah, ill agree with the dude below me that this needs more bass. however i also think that the drums themselves arent very intense/fast [see professional dnb stuff, dnb drum patterns are generally more energetic than this and the drums themselves are often more distorted], and the synth/melody makes this song sound like a circus or something, which isnt a good thing. often dnb doesnt even have a melody. but yeah. i think the synth should be switched out for something lower and more unfeeling, and the notes should be rearranged.

sorry if im being brutally honest, jst giving feedback. gj for starting in a new genre, though!!

check my stuff pretty plz! :D

Trickmixer responds:

you dont have to be sorry for being brutally honest. as a matter a fact, i think thats probably the best thing you could have done in this review because as you know this is a whole new genre for me. i dont know what to say except thank you very much for your constructive feed back you gave me. <3
thanx

[<The Source>]

dude this is schweet!

it was all real clean and the stacatto melodies were nice. i cant give any real complaints because it sounded professional. though the part where it goes into a different key and becomes kinda angry soundign seemed out of place, but it did sound slick. i think though, that diversitywise, repetition is good but it seems to repeat almost too much with variation. otherwise, cool.

check my stuff plz/review :D

[Chillz Zone]

this is okay

the main pad thing that runs thru the entire song just sounds a little sluggish, and i dont really like how it gets a little louder for like a second and then cuts down to lower volume over and over again--it stops flowing smoothly.

i wish ur drums werent just a loop that you panned repeatedly. there could be much more variety if u manually controlled each of the drums and distorted them and stuff.

the main synth was good, though i wish there was more diversity in the notes--its mostly just teh same note played over and over again until the end.

lastly i think this track needs a more solid bassline than just a few pads.

everything was really clear though, and the way the notes were arranged and stuff is mainly. i just think the lack of diversity and some flaws make this too boring. the lack of energy in the drums make me feel like this isnt drum and bass. otherwise, gj dood!! [sorry if im cruel. jst giving feedback.]

check my stuff plz :D

[Island Techno]

hmmm nice

i actually kinda like this one. i like how everythings short and quick, it makes the song sound really tight (in more than one way :P). i think that the only thing id change is the synth at the beginning that goes on thruout the entire track, id rearrange the notes so it is less dissonant with the other thing and id make it more subtle since to me it feels out of the stacatto, sort-of-silent-but-not-really vibe of the track. gj dood.

check my stuff plz :D

amilicious responds:

Thanks for the advice. oh and I like your audio, the style is really cool. Keep it up!

[R-VeeBee - My Syns]

mmm

i really liked the melody of the main synth once the track got on, how it was chopped up and how the tone vibrated/lfo-ed and stuff. that was cool. it was nice. i felt the bassline could hvae sounded more bassy and maybe a bit less noisy.

my main complaints are that the lead seemed a bit too unclear/choppy (i mean its good to a certain extent but it seemed lke too much here.). also, i wish the beat had more than the bass drum and the synth, like some other electronic percussion to make it sound more interesting

but now that i read the other reviews this was supposed to be an experiment? thats not what i think of when i hear experimental techno but thats cool. well yeah. gj dood :)

check my stuff plz :D

R-VeeBee responds:

You're totally right about everything! But indeed, it's an experiment. :)

Thanks for the comment!
