MadHamish's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ultimate Guitar Solo 5]

better than I could ever do

but dude, listen to any european power metal band to be blown away.

CockRider responds:

Dude... This is a joke song, it's supposed to be shit!

[Hi my buddy! (loop)]

its a looop

Like the title says, its a loop. Its got only like 3 things going on though and it doesnt capture my attention fully. It could be made better with more bass and maybe some softer synths

Elph responds:

Mmk :D

[DETH]

I've heard worse

This isnt as shitty as you seem to think it is. It's pretty standard heavy metal. You should add more variety though. It seems you only have 1 guitar, 1 bass?, and drums. Throw some secondary guitar lines in there so you have one guitar free to do solos and melodies.

GoreBastard responds:

Cheers man. Yeah there are two guitar tracks in there at some points, but most of the time they're both playing the same riff. There's only one bass though yeah, I'm very lazy! Like I said though, this was nothing special, I keep trying to record a full song but I don't seem to have the patience to do it these days!!

Thanks for the words mate!

[ASAudio - Virgin Aura]

yeaaah

That beat is so punchy, i think i might have a black eye. Well done sir.

Aural-Sex-Audio responds:

goo goo gah jewb!

Thats the best kind of black eye mister mechanical engineer man!

Usually I aim my punchy audio sex machine for the ears, but sometimes I miss and hit peoples eye. My bad!

[Hardest ElectroManiac]

bring up the bass!

this sounds awesome, but my brain is telling me that it needs more bass. there wasnt a legit bassline as far as i could tell, other than the beginning. Also, I want to hear more of the kick. The synths are smothering it!
I would like to see how this turns out when its done though....

Karlssonffs responds:

Hey m8!

Sry for the long respond time :) been off doing things in the world,
Yes the kicks and bass are kinda low in this one, and i havent got the save on my HD :(

But maybe i can do a remix of the synth and melody in some other project,

Well i really appreciate your review and hope you will stick around :)

[Natural Trance]

nice

it took a little while, but the song grew on me as it went on. I especially like the end. very epic

DJames50 responds:

yup... thanks :)

[*NS!* Wake up little one...]

some issues

No bassline for one. The song feels empty with no bottom end. Second, the synths are not mixed well. That one that comes in around 1:07 dominates the whole spectrum and isnt necessarily pleasant to listen to. Lastly, the parts were off key. You need to keep all of your notes in the same scale, otherwise it ends up sounding random and unpleasant. Its true that its possible to tastefully go offscale but it takes a lot of experience to know when is a good time to do it.

Hope this helps

keioss01 responds:

Thank you.

[Spaze Unofficial - New Hardstyle]

zesty

You should definitely go full length on this one. It sounds awesome.

SpazeMusic responds:

Thanks man! :D

[Dance4Life]

nice

what DAW did you use for this? I have a hunch but I'm just curious

kirja100 responds:

Thanks!!

[Yamaoka [remix]]

alright

i think there needs to be more variation and random stuff thrown it. As it is its just like one thing for 16 measures, then another thing for another 16 measures, etc.

ericdrebin responds:

Maybe... but then again, maybe that's the point...
