Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dewy Embers (Mo-Tech remix)]

\m/

I think this submission works best as background music. The track keeps itself in the background quite nicely, so that it doesn't distract the player from what he is doing.
Also the melody sounds very nice and even a bit relaxing. So I think this song would fit very well into some sort of puzzle game.

Even though the track is very long and it's not happening that much during it, the song doesn't get boring all the way through. Nice job!

I really like this one. The song starts off pretty slow but it builds up the longer it goes on until you have a very great song there.

However, the building up could be a bit faster in the beginning, because it gets a bit boring before it really starts.

The drum track is pretty nice and offers a very cool beat. It's also pretty nice that you used soundFX from the game to create beats and a melody in this song. The idea might not be very original (I think I've heard some other tracks where the same happened), but you executed the idea very well!

The ending gave me a good laugh, it fits so perfectly! :D

The beat is very nice and the melodie's very catchy. I think this would work best in some sort of "future racing game" (like Wipeout) as the beat sounds very "futuristic" with those reverbs and it also keeps quite well in the background, so it wouldn't distract the player.

Woo, thanks for the review! Yeah, i can see what you mean with it being in a racing game...Nice!

I listened to this using normal speakers and using my headphones. You're right, this song sounds better on headphones. I think it's because on headphones the nice bass line coulb be heard much better than on speakers.

I especially like how you start with this song. At first just some rather strange noises playing a weird melody can be heard, until the drum track sets in slowly.

Even though the track is about 3 minutes long you managed to keep me interested in it the whole time through, because you added various parts to the song and thus making it very diversified. Great!

You had quite a lot of different effects and beats in here, but still you managed to stick to one main theme. Good job!

The quality of the sound is good most of the time. Only the distorted bass line is bothering me a bit. It would sound much better without that distortion.

Also, the song is a bit too short for my taste. You could have easily added more to it and making the song much longer that way, I think.

FunkmasterCatking responds:

Thanks,

This is the first time I've tried really using a heavy bass, I probably put a little too much into it. I'm guessing it would be less distorted if I panned some of the other stuff to other sides, but its too late for me to edit it. I'd make it longer too, but I use the FL demo so I couldn't save it.

Thanks for the review!

[Blue 42 -Redo]

\m/

Hey, I remember that song, heh. But I can't seem to find the old version of this, so it's a bit hard to compare those versions with each other.

I think I complained about the ending in my last review. Well, now I think the ending fits quite well there, so whatever you've done with it: It was the right thing to do ^^.

I still like the hilariousity of the many random sounds you used in here a lot. It really mades me laugh! :D

MusicIsBliss responds:

haha thanks, the old one was omgtforly blue 42 or something

and your suggestion last time is what made me realise it didnt have rediculous drums like the rest of the song, so it was you who fixed it, thanks

The sound of this is very nice and I really like the main beat. The tone drop during the middle of this loop fit quite well there, I think.

I like that you added many different parts to this loop, even though it's so short. This adds of course a lot of diversity to it and can keep the listener interested for quite some time.

The cymbal you used at the start doesn't really fit in there, I think. You just used it right at the start and nowhere else during the loop.

ShortMonkey responds:

Actually, I put that cymbal at the start so when it loops around it sounds like it keeps it going ;)... because NG doesn't loop it STRAIGHT away, it didn't fit in that well. But if you looped it in a game or so, it would fit in.

Cheers!

The song is very nice overall. And it's a good thing that it is so long ^^. Most Audio Artist seem to create much too short songs.

The main beat is pretty nice, but it gets quite repititive towards the end of the song. But it's nice that you added a lot of other parts to the song, that keeps it from getting boring.

I think some changes in the tempo of the main beat would be a good thing, too. You would add a bit more varity to the song that way and I think this would keep the listener interested in the song, too.

ReaperTechno responds:

The only thing is that if i were to make it faster, noticeably, the length would be gone. And granted, I wanted to make sure the tempo wasnt too slow, which it isnt, it flows nicely. What I couldve done was make the more ambient parts a slower tempo, but i was just excited to get this song out the door :D
Thanks for the review!

It's a good song overall. I like the flow of the song and the delays work quite well here.

But I miss some accentuated notes in there. I guess it's pretty hard to do that on a computer, but with some more dynamics and accents on some of the notes this would sound more interesting I guess.
Right now it flows very steady all the time, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's hard to keep the listener interested in the song that way.

Anyway, the song has a very great potential, you just need to improve it here and there a little bit and you'll have a little masterpiece here ;) .

WritersBlock responds:

Thanks for the review. Yeah, I agree with that, those details are something I should probably work harder on. Cheers.

I don't know what to think about this one. It's definatly not bad, but it's no kickass song either...

Sometimes the sounds in this one remind me of some songs from Kraftwerk, or even Beastie Boys (they like to throw in some unusal tunes as well ^^).

This track sounds very much like you experimented a lot with different sounds and I always like it when musicians mess around with differen tunes and effects. Sometimes something outstanding will be produced that way, so just keep it up! ^^

if you ever need a theme tune for those cillit bang ads give me a call
