Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Asteriod Chillout]

\m/

It's a nice ambient piece. I like the feel of this track. It's not exactly what I would call "spacey" but it has some kind of extraterrestrian feeling to it, heh.

I like that the song keeps itself in the background so well. It can easily be used as background music in a menu or the movie itself without distracting the viewer too much.

However, there are some quieter parts that you should work on (like from 1:20 to 1:30). Only when I turn up the volume of my speakers I am able to hear the bass playing. Either turn up the volume of the bass here or try to change the part to something different.
Also, the ending is too quiet for my taste, too. Maybe you should try to loop the song and see how that works out.

Cobbler, stick to thy last.

Nah, just kidding. The guitar playing isn't that bad, only the sound quality could be a bit better. It just sounds too muffled.

The intro is very good, the riff here is pretty much kick ass! After that the song loses a bit of that "kick ass"-ness, but it's still decent.
The major drawback may be that there are no vocals in the track, but it feels as if there should be some... there are some parts of the song where I just wait for the singer to start singing.

Overall, it's a good song, but it needs vocals!

[Deeper Into The Mansion]

\m/

If you were going for a "creepy halloween" feeling, then my congratulations. Mission Accomplished! ;)

Deflektor is right, the beats somewhat ruin the halloween feeling, but I don't know how you could change that... maybe keep the beat slightly more in the background, so that the creepy sounds stand out a bit more.

Overall, the song is very good and I like the creepy atmosphere it creates!

[Solus- Cast Off]

\m/

A great piano track. You manage to create a very dense atmosphere with just one single instrument. I don't think you need any other instruments here, it's fine as it is now.

The poem in the author comments fit very well to the track, so obviously it did a good job inspireing you. ;)

Aye, I liked the poem, and the main part of the melody came to me during a flight. Fancy that.

[Solus- Forever Never]

\m/

The mix of genres sure is interesting. But from time to time there's just too much going on at the same time, so that I can't concentrate on everything at once. Also because of that, sometimes it's pretty hard to make out the single instruments because all seem to play at full volume and competing each other instead of playing together.

Most noteably is it when the solo sets in. You should tune down the volume of the other instruments a bit, so that we can clearly hear and enjoy the pretty good solo.

Mixing has always been something that's plagued me, and it's something I intend to continue working on.

Thanks for the insight :D

The bass in this track is amazing. But sadly this track lacks some melodies. The first two minutes or so there's absolutely no melody, just the kicks. This gets boring pretty quickly.

When finally the melody sets in it isn't diversified enough to keep me interested in the song.
The track is over 5 minutes long, but it isn't happening enough to justify this length.

[Toxic Biohazard V2]

\m/

Better than the first part. Doesn't sound as messy and it loops better (a little static sound can be heard when the loop starts over, but I'm not sure if it's in the original track or if go in there somwhere between uploading it to NG and me listening to it).

It's still a bit too short and lacks varity a lot.

[Toxic Biohazard]

\m/

The beginning sounded very promising, but at around 0:13 it gets way too messy. There is too much going on at once so it's quite hard to make out the melodies.

Also, the song is too short in my opinion and it doesn't loop. Try to expand the song a bit by making the parts a bit longer. Also try to get the mixing done a bit better.

false, yo r a cupkake.

The good thing is that it loops very well.

The bad thing is that it doesn't do that much else. Just a few beeping sounds with A LOT of static noises.

So, first of all, get rid of the static noises. Then, add more content to it. Like some drums and some melodies...

[It`s a Dream( Deejay DeeZ RMX)]

\m/

Sounds too generic for me. And I have a dislike for exactly that kind of female vocals that you used here. ^^

The song itself is also quite generic, a few breaks here and there from the main beat would be really helpful. Also, the ending seems to be cut off. The last note doesn't appear to be played fully and the song already starts over. A few more seconds at the end should help here. ;)

DeejayDeeZ responds:

Yeah, I like theese kind of vocal samples^^

Generic, sure. Anyways, a main beat break is a good idea. it would fit to make it less repitive.

The ending tune was just something i made in the end :P
