Trash-Man-1's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Elfire - Zombies and cocaine]

Pretty cool sounds.

Not a fan of the inserted voice clip thing, but the rest is pretty cool. Maybe tweak the bass percussive sounds a bit though cuz they are a little too dirty IMO. Otherwise, its a cool sound.

[Dusty Old Consoles [8bit]]

Pretty good.

Very catchy indeed. Harmony and melody were rather loud for my taste though. I would suggest turning them down so the drums and bass stick out just a little better.

Good Work.

TakeTheBait responds:

I thought it was pretty well mixed, but thanks a lot for the words of advice, I'll keep that in mind!

[Elfire - Bitter Valentine]

Good production, but repettitive

I feel you could change it up more, rather than holding out as long as it does for each main idea. I'll tell you that the song is very nicely produced, I just wish it didn't hold out for so long for each main idea you had, and had more variation instead. Doesn't mean to go all over the place, just don't hold out for so long maybe.

I personally think this song would sound better if all unneeded repeations were simply just cut out. It may only be about 3 mins, but it will be less likely to get boring to listeners.

Elfire responds:

Cant say i really agree with ya there, fairly certain no 4 bars are quite the same but hey, each to thier own. was going for a overall build rather than sections, there is a lead thats overused but it doesnt sound much of a build without it =[

anyways, thanks for the review.

[Muziq]

hmmm..

Well. I think it just does a little too much to be a techno. Maybe don't do as much overkill on effects at least. It is pretty interesting, but I feel it just does too much to be techno, otherwise it's an alright composition and is pretty well balanced, and maybe just should be reclassed and then modified.

Also, I kinda was hoping to hear just a little more variation. You can probably squeeze a nice soft long sweeping chords section for a good break from what we heard.

What you have is nice, you just need more that isn't the same for it to suddenly sound a whole lot better.

[<EagleGuard> Frozen Forests]

Really good song

I really like the choice of instruments in this. It actually sounds very RPGish and would probably fit right in one of the story sequences in an RPG video game.

My only suggestion would be to change to a different instrument in the later half of the song, maybe change to a french horn for an interesting approach.

Otherwise, the song is greatly composed.

EagleGuard responds:

Well, actually I did add a french horn half way through xD Though it blends in with the cellos & basses. Unless you mean the part after that. I think adding a french horn there would make it a bit too chaotic, to be honest.

Thanks for the review!

[SMB 2 - Overworld]

Very Nice

This is how a cover is done. Very nicely executed. Sounds nice and crisp as well as alive. The separation of instruments is very nicely done. Great work.

Stage3-1 responds:

Thank you, I put a lot of time into the mixing of the instruments and was happy with the way it turned out.

[Freezing Drizzle]

Very nice

Yeah, this is very nice. Not a single flay. The saxophone is very nice. I really love this.

[-Dream Catcher-]

Badass indeed.

I really love the soft introduction. Pretty cool guitar sound, it really fills up the stereo. They are just so nice and crunchy. MMmmmmm

Back-From-Purgatory responds:

There's only 1 guitar track, however I use a dual tone, each tone panned about 50% left and right. Glad to hear I finally made a guitar tone people can enjoy.

Thanks for the review!

[Two Shots]

Really solid production

I can't find anything wrong with this production-wise. It's just that solid. Very well made song. I really like the intro to this. All I suggest is maybe vary it up in each of the main parts, because it kinda drags on for each one.

At about 2 mins, it gets a little sour when you mix that 3rd part with the 2md part for a second there. You may want to reconsider that transition, as it's not very smooth.

8/10
4/5

Methreee responds:

hey cool thanks a lot. i'll definitely look that over and i appreiciate you taking the time to point that out...

[Darkstep Loop]

Drums feel off.

Drums feel off timed. As well as, the main instruments are a little too heavily distorted and need some clearing up. Otherwise, good attempt.
