BlaZeD42O's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dj Niamek | Dive]

Really nice!

Hey man! Great work here! This track is very well structured and flows very well! I love the fact you programmed all your own sounds! Many people here on NG like to use presets and that really upsets me because the song then lacks personality! I can tell you put alot into this! I really enjoyed listening to it! I do have to say though, I would kick up the sub bass a little, as the song lacks a little bit of drive and energy that that sub bass would more than likely fill! I though it was just the headphone I was using but I switched to my bass headphones and it was still not picking up much on that super low frequency! Overall a very nice song! Great work!

10/10
5/5

Silta responds:

Thanks so much for your review!
A lot of effort indeed went into the technical and melodic structure, I'm glad it paid off. I agree with your point about the bass, though. I was having a lot of trouble mixing in all those different basses without the EQ seeming to be really heavy on the bass side and thus muddying up the mix. I understand in professional tracks the high frequencies and low are in a really good balance and I guess here I was more concerned about that high end of the spectrum xD But I'll be working on that, thanks for the tip, and thank you very much for listening and taking the time for a review! :)

Tight

Hey man! For just getting FL you sure have the ability and talent to go pretty hard! Good use of the sequencer and percussion! most people blow big balls when first starting out you held it down!!!

youngcasper responds:

hey dude thanks a bunch for the 10 spot homie!

[Zero Hour (2011)]

Epic

Man I love this song! So damn epic! never add vocals to a masterpiece like this! Pure instrumental slaughter! Love the drums, did you program these or do you actually play drums? if these are programmed you have one hell of a drum machine! Add another fan to your list man!

deadlyfishes responds:

Thanks! Please check out my website for more music if you really like this one: matthewpablo.com So, all the instruments you hear are real instruments and not programmed. The only thing that's programed are things like extra sound effects (large boom and hit sounds) orchestra and choir samples. Although they are sampled from live choirs and orchestras I still had to program the MIDI information. At first when I was writing it, I did program the drums to get a few ideas, but ultimately I recorded real drums in the studio. Again, thanks for your review!

[god's wrath]

Not bad!

I was diggin it man! had a overall sense of atmosphere that alot of songs here lack. I do doubt though that it received radio play! I am a producer/audio engineer and I can tell you this song is not eq'd for radio the frequencies mash up causing blurs in focal points and transitions. through a stereo the kick drum would be nearly impossible to hear as no low frequncies are really present it is just the preset being used.

i9incher responds:

no it got played. i mean, it's better to have a kick drum that is too low as apposed to one that is overpowering the rest of the song. i was as shocked as you are but i am glad that you enjoyed it at least. but i mean, mastering is most likely my biggest problem as all of my stuff is either over labtop speakers or hd headphones. i can look up tutorials but once i get better speakers it will hopefully be eq'ed for high quality places.

[{Dj Simmy} Soothing Journey]

Interesting!

You get a 10 for the smooth transitions in this track man! I enjoyed listening to it anticipating what was coming next! if they made a direct sequel to Earthbound this song would be in it =P

Simmy53 responds:

Thanks so much!

[NorthStar (TimmyDope)]

Nice!!

Apparently zero bombers found they're way to your track! I enjoyed the song though man nice use of a looperman accapella! wish the bass had more ummph but overall pretty sweet song you got here man!

TimmyDope responds:

Hahaha yeah man they always do!! It happens to most people. The top 5 is never the "Real" Top 5. They should have a system where if you give a 0-2 you have to write the reason why before it will submit your vote... that would sort out the sheep from the men!! Anyways glad you like the track. Its still a WIP I plan to make the base have more umph and the piano riff im going to expand upon when the beat goes silent. Thanks for your feedback!

[Krowe - Juggernaut]

don't know how but.....

I dont even listen to dubstep but you managed to keep me here for the whole song great work man!!! digging this track 100% now gtfo off newgrounds and go make me more tracks like this !!!!!!!

KroweMusic responds:

"now gtfo off newgrounds and go make me more tracks like this !!!!!!!"

Awwww how sweet <3

Haha yeah I know what you're implying by that :P But I'm here to stay as I want as much exposure as possible. However, I will continue to make more tracks so you can have that to look forward to :)

[-Winter Solstice-]

good but......

this song has such potential but came of so flat to me some parts are way to muffled I really want to see a rework or a mastery fix of this pm me if you ever release anything specific to this track!

ChronoNomad responds:

Okie doke. I generally prefer to move forward rather than back, but since I've gotten a couple similar comments on the mastering I may just make an exception. Thanks.

[CT - To Far Away Times]

Stunning!!!

Excellent work here man!!!! I have been waiting sooo long for you to release it! you did such a beautiful job on it!!! love the bass! did you find sheet music or figure out the chords on your own? I love the piano in this track as well it reminds me of the music box from ct such an epic track! wish there was a way to become a fan on newgrounds lol. keep up the great work! look forward to you future releases!!

aDeafBat responds:

Thanks! I figured out all of the chords by ear, and by comparing my version with the original. I did add notes that weren't there before and made some of the chords a bit more complex, but I also may have missed a few notes somewhere. For instance, it took me this long to realize that I forgot to finish the flutes!

[Quest 64 - Battle Theme]

Nailed it again!

You got a talent for hitting these vg remixes on the head man! I just saw the response to the review I left you and saw you were making this then go to the audio portal and there it was lol. Great work your use of percussion in this track is amazing. your music takes me back to the days I love to reminisce about! Keep them coming man! and btw I never did get a chance to beat this game. I got to brannoch castle and my game kept freezing out of despair I used the qtip and rubbing alcohol method and just ruined the whole game haha. one more request as well I know I asked for the magus theme but I would also love to hear to far away times off the chrono trigger ost! quite possibly the greatest ending theme ever composed!

aDeafBat responds:

Thanks, glad you think so. I may do "to far away times" first, simply because it's a different sound that I want to try and capture.
