B34T1N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[C# Blues Jam]

This is badass.

Sounds like something that should be used to start off some kinda badass movie. :P

Very nicely laid out, I don't think theres really too much I can say to this since it isn't a genre I'm familiar with, but I like it. Well done.

Check out my music sometime please and give me a review back. :)

aod3 responds:

I might just take the opening riff and make it into a loop for that reason, I really like the flow of it.

Even if you're unfamiliar feel free to just rant then.

Thanks for the positive ratings!

[[ArcX] Winter Solstice [WIP]]

Nice work.

Hey, remember me? I reviewed your third submission ever. ;D

Just thought I'd check up on how you was getting along and all I can say is very nice work indeed, I like the synths used in this,the back synth in it is very definitive and shines through very well, all I can say is that when the loop restarts I still hear a slight gap, if you are using FL, there is a very simple way of resolving this. It's a simple solution actually, when going to render the song, under looping mode simply set it to "Wrap remainder" problem solved! :)

The percussion doesnt really come through to well, but the work with the synths kinda makes it not too noticeable, but I still would reccomend using more trance percussion with this choice of synth, a simple 4 to the floor beat would be effective.

Anyhow, hope you get on well with my advice, PM me if you need anything, I'll be glad to help.

Check out my work sometime! :D

[[Incomplete] The Light Side]

Well, just to keep criticism in the trend.

It was nice, the drums were well layerd but there was only a few problems I had, a few of the higher synths sounded slightly off scale sometimes, I think maybe replaceing them with a low pitched Reece, you may even get away with using the same melody that way, because reeces can define a whole song and give them that THUMP they need. :)

Hope I helped.

Check out my music please and review back!

Merry Xmas.

HNI responds:

Ok thanks. I'll keep that in mind.

[Fade To Black Intro]

Good cover.

It's almost spot on, but the one problem is something that I mentioned in the title... You forgot to mention that it's a Metallica cover, you should edit you author comments to add that in or you could get alot of abuse and possibly a ban.

Anyhow, good job on this one, as I said, it's almost spot on but you couldn't catch that end part could you? :P :)

}{B34T1N}{ - Nice work, be sure to check out my music and review me back please. :)

Kool-Aid responds:

Thanks alot man! And ok, i can redo the ending if ya wants.

[Zero Destiny]

Different and awesome! :)

I've never really heard anything like this before, especially on the NG audio portal, the actual structure of the song was put together very well, and i like the use of percussion although I wish they had some sort of change or effect to them to spice up the song a bit when the hoover-like synth kicked in.

I wish it didn't seem so loopish, it just sort of ended suddenly and I was kinda like, "Did my earphones just cut out? Wtf?" sorta thing. XD

Overall though it was very well done, nice job, don't ever give up, dreams are aquired through plenty of chasing and nothing is gained from giving up. :)

}{B34T1N}{ - Keep it up!

Syntrus responds:

thx dude!

[No Thinking Allowed--_--]

Awesome stuff.

This stuff is kinda new to me really so I can't come up with any criticism in this review :(

On the other hand, you did a great job with this, it's trippy as hell though. I wish it had more of a melody to stand on, but still, it's really good. :) XD

Anyhow...

[~|Forever Gone [Tech House]]

Nice track.

Hey, I'm kinda empty minded at the moment so I don't think I'll be able to write a big review as usual. XD

I believe I got a review from you before? :) {Nice to see you on here again, if I'm remembering rightly.}

This track is very well structured, the over use of the swwep noise throught the breakdown kinda got a little repetitive, but I really liked the synth in it, the beat was well layered and sounded just right.

The bass was good, maybe could've done with a bit of compressing, the frequency on it kinda scraped away at my ears, but it's not a major problem.

The pads were done well and the backing was nice although there were a few things that I, myself would have changed, but that's just me.

Nice to see that you got into top 5 of the week, congrats.

[Burning Summer (Rmx)]

Very good!

This piece is very good, there are only a few things in it which aren't really to my taste, but that's just opinion. :)

The filtering in this song seems to be done perfectly and in time with everything, brilliant stuff, I like the ways you used the effects in this, very nice stuff.

I just woke up so yeah, I can't seem to get my words out here, the only thing I didn't like really was it seemed to fall just short of epic, there wasn't a feeling of something building up then just that sort of 'great feeling' about a song, just felt like something was missing but I'm really not sure what.

Anyhow, the song is still very good. Nice one!

Byezzzz!

[Something that crashes]

Well, simply...

You won't get far on here by just submitting stuff like that, submit an actual piece of music please.

[Adrenaline Break]

It was alright.

I don'treally have much to say about this one, the track was ok but it dragged on too much, the crashes had some major distortion and needed compressing, it got very repetitive and made me very bored, also about every synth and drum loop in the song is preset without and effects added to them, so not really much effort went into making this.

5/10
3/5

If you're going to only use presets, even as well as you used some of them in melodies, at least try to make them a bit different using effects and don't make a 8 minute song using the same melody the whole way through.

PearlDrummer516 responds:

Well, first off, this was probably the second full song I ever made with FL Studio. I was quite inexperienced then compared to now.

Secondly, I feel you shouldn't judge a song poorly because it uses presets and doesn't have a lot of effects. If the song is good, and catches your ear, then it's a good song. It doesn't matter about anything else. I created this song to be long and intense, and I think I accomplished my goal.

On the other hand, everybody has an opinion, and I'm glad you gave me your thoughts on the matter. I'm always accepting of constructive criticism. You should keep an eye out for my more recent songs since I have a much better understanding of the program now. My newest song is IntenCity Streetz, give it a listen, tell me what you think.

Thanks for the review!
