MadHamish's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Concepts in Thought]

Awesome

This song is a mosaic of strange dreamlike things happening very spastically all around me. I have only 2 choices..go insane or enjoy myself. I choose the latter :)

Being-Glass responds:

this is a mosaic to get lost in. I hope you enjoyed yourself on the journey.

Take care man and stick around for more tracks like this in the future.

[TI:.Awakening]

neat

uve definitely got a huge buildup goin on. really makes u want something to happen

TIMarbury responds:

yup thats y the end is bothering me!

[Primal Impact]

relaxing

It needs to be full length though. That way the relaxing trance effect can really take hold

aliasf responds:

yea your right...but it is what it is! lol

[Song of Storms (short piano)]

sounds very midi

what can i say? its the song of storms, and played pretty well. It sounds very lifeless though, and very much like it was just sequenced

durst057 responds:

yeah, thats why i have a techno version, just wait til tomorrow fo the upload

[Pong room]

cool sounds indeed

This is definitely cool. The sounds and reverb make me feel like im in some kind of dark factory; typical of good industrial music. The only problem is that I don't find it very accessible to the average listener. I know you were going for a kind of experimental feel but I just can't imagine a situation where I would sit and listen to this casually as a simple tune rather than a complex piece of art that needs interpreting..

anyway, thats my 2 cents worth. keep on makin stuff!

ReFreezed responds:

-2 for not targeting the "average listener"? Oh well, I guess I can't satisfy everyone...

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to write a review! I will definitively continue making music. :)

[Epic Fruit]

I figured it out lol

You're a reason user, I can tell. That one epic kick that you use periodically is in one of the refills i just got :) I used it in one of my songs too. It makes a good intro, really grabs the attention. btw, song was great I'll give it a 9 and 5.

Groovebot responds:

Reason and FL make an awesome team :-) I use rewire and use them both at the same time. You're right about that kick, btw. Isn't it great? Happy you liked the tune, bro!

[Out of life]

my thoughts

I love the melody, it makes me happy. The synths are all pretty cool and work well together. One very glaring problem though is that there is a significant amount of clipping, especially sometime around the middle of the song. Some levels need to be adjusted. Also, I had a hard time hearing the bass drum. I don't know if thats what you were going for or what but I kept expecting it to kick in and not hearing it.

DJ-BM responds:

I'm not sure if the clipping is due to the quality of the upload song because I had to down the quality to make it under 8mb or the song it self. It may be a bit of both. And yes I do need to bring up the levle of the kick. Thanks for taking the time to give me a review.

[DJ Babokon - Rising Waves]

wheres the kick?

I can tell its hiding down there somewhere but its getting muffled/ compressed out of existence. Song is amazing, but any good techno song needs a strong kick!

DJ-Babokon responds:

Hmm, I couldn't do anything about the compression so sorry. :(

[Divinity (Nermio)]

drum too soft

The main complaint I have is that drums, especially the snare, sound too soft. The snare should be a little punchier and pierce through the fog.

Nermio responds:

Ok, advice taken! Thanks a lot! Also the chord pad makes the speakers sound bad so I'll probably change that.
