MadHamish's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[FF | Listen]

very chill

I like the vibe you have going on. I could easily see this being played in some kind of lounge setting. Vocals would really make this song perfect (other than the cool sounding background ones you have now)

freddyfinger responds:

thanks :)

[Printer Song]

haha

I think you've captured well the emotions of the printer. I'm never going to feel the same printing things again

DrudgeSkeleton responds:

Haha, thanx m8 :D

[Sum Thin]

nice arpeggios

very cool interacting lead lines. The main one kinda sounds like its played from the buttons of a phone lol

Problems:

1. Repetitive. Theres very little variety and my brain kinda gets tired of the beeps after a while. Try switching it up; add some new sections to the song aka verse chorus intro etc

2. No low end. As far as I can tell, theres no bassline. This makes the track sound incomplete and a dry

Dont get me wrong, I think this is great for a second submission. It takes countless hours of fucking up and getting accustomed to writing songs before really good stuff starts coming out. Keep at it!

gabredi responds:

Thanks man!
I know it's a bit repetitive, but at the time I just wanted to get something better in here. I didn't use my computer, just my iPod, so I'm not sure I can find that sort of thing. I'll keep trying though. In the meantime think of this as a long loop.

[Gym Leader Windows Sounds]

clever

I like what you've done here. I wish my computer would make is noises in this order instead of just being annoying lol.

DeltaPhoenix responds:

Flash idea:
Windows going insane and playing this song while displaying 38957398745 errors in a row =D

[12- Keep The Beat -22]

ive been there man

I hate workin on songs that just never seem to come out right. My advice on this one is to work on making it less repetitive. also the panning of the lead synth and the bass is kind of cool but also a little annoying after the 25th time the riff comes in. also this may sound vague but try to fill up more of the empty space.

12spike22 responds:

yea i just got tired and quit this accually is my best song.... i got a ways to go b4 i get a good song going but yea thanks for the advice

[Beautifulllllllll]

several flaws

the melody line? very pretty. all that other stuff you have going on? not so much. no offense but it just gets kind of muddled and repetitive. theres some parts also that just seem out of tune as well. i would try to focus more on making this a groovy peaceful tune rather than a hard trance ballad. the simple drum line and melody work brilliantly together.
anyways thats my two cents worth

cHunter responds:

Well thanks for listening I guess. Just remember I wasn't exactly thinking straight when I made this song, haha.

[Proton Ninjae]

this is cool

I really like the wierd bassliney thing. did you vocode a voice for that? I did something similar for one of my songs, it makes the track sound almost alive.

aeop responds:

Talk mod. Thank you!

[Trance in my pants]

thats odd...

your synth makes me shift my eyes uncontrollable. i dont approve of your mind control tactics sir.

aeop responds:

There was dangerous. Jon wuz a pizza guy but no one buyed his pizzas cuz evryone eating banananas now instead. So he proceeded to hurl his lamppost at the 2 year old slug in front of him but unfortunately the slug said "HAHA you will not catch me." The angry australian pinapple had unicorns licking his toes and then he overdosed on Brad Pitt's toenail! THEN THEY ALL GOT DRUNK AND DIED!

[Till End]

well...

it was kinda boring to be honest. needs a bassline and drums that can be heard.

joshuaskillsrobles responds:

Ill think about the bass line next time, but they seem to over power the lead synth.

[Sitar + Bongo + Meth + Ritalin]

kinda neat

This song never really went anywhere climactic persay, but i dont think it was really tryng to, which is cool i guess. All of the wierd noises near the end panned all over the place made me feel like a schizophric

aeop responds:

Honestly, it's just me experimenting with my new Korg Electribe in 2004 and fastforwarding my Japanese language CD.
