Kaburorne's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sad situation]

Nice idea... work on it.

I mean, really nice main synth. But the one that comes in afterwards is quite too... rave-y for this song. The drums kind of ruin it too by being too thick. You need some subtle rhythmic clicks, or some distant drums at the most. Has potential to be good though. And it's a work in progress, so whatever ^^

Thanks for the view Kaburorne. I've updated it. It sounds better and the industrial perc was deleted and replaced for an electro perc.
Also it's longer now...

Now I am working on a few new pads and leads.

Awesome

Really got me pumped. Very energetic feel. I love the drums, just the right voices you used there. The melodies were good, the synths were great. Everything just really worked. Sounds like it's from the Matrix. The only thing I could suggest is that some of the instruments don't follow the chords. Like you have the main synth going 0... 0... 5... 4... and the rest of them just go 0 all the way through, so some notes clash sometimes. I love that it starts back up again too, and goes back to basics. Just drums, bass and some effects in the background. Everything builds up a really nice layered effect.
Seriously, this is better than most of the electronic music on here. Most of it is that predictable techno crap. This is awesome.

What a nice review! Thanks for your time mate.
I have to say that is my last and best work until the date. Very good you like it.
Maybe I will work more on this song soon.

[Neon Lightbulb in D]

Nice!

Cheery melody. Nicely put together too. Just a nice feel all round. It's the same chords, over and over, but somehow it doesn't get boring. I guess it's that it builds up and every measure is slightly different. I like it. Only thing is that that blippy synth doesn't really seem to fit in. Also, the drums should have had less fills, and more keeping the beat. But whatever. Was really nice.

Slart responds:

The blippy synth is my (sad) midi attempt at pizzicato/plucked violins. Clearly, my midi skills are weak (I know this) and if I get better at creating instruments, I'll fix it up mo bettah. That's funny what you said about the drum fills, because I was worried the drums were too boring so I added the fills to flesh them out a bit. Maybe I should've had more confidence. Ah well, I'll learn as I go.
