Burn7's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[||Vengance||]

...Okay...

Your lead is retarded. I'm not even going to make that sound nicer or nothing. You obviously know how to make music, and you have good synths and everything, but your lead seriously sounds just like a bunch of random-fuck notes.

Everything else sounds good. Just... fucking come up with a lead that's not doing way too much drugs.

Seriously, listening to this, I get the feeling you made everything else, and when it came to writing the lead you just said "fuck it, whatever, random notes on my keyboard. Don't give a shit anymore."

Lolwut,`

[Intergalactic Meltdown]

^5!

Very nice, sounds like you've been doing this for a little bit :)

This might be the 1st time you've added anything to the audio portal, but it's a great addition.

Oh yeah, constructive criticism.... umm.... Okay, I hate to do this, but I really don't have anything that MrF down there didn't say. I hate it when I'm like "I could use some constructive criticism or something, ANYTHING!" on my songs, and ppl are just like "I'TS GEWD NOTHING IMPROVE YOU NEED AWESOME!".

The only thing is... it doesn't really have an ending. I mean... kinda? I think? It's just a bit random for me.

Zomgah responds:

thanks for the advice. Idk, i kinda like the end but i guess i wont do it in my next song.

[Official Voice Acting Demo]

O.o

That was... Umm... wow.

I know it was a demo, but wow. I felt like I was on drugs or something.

Regardless... this was fucking awesome. ^5!

You, my friend, are the winner of the day.

[EX - Corrosion [WIP]]

Very cool

You should definately add on to more of this, it's frigging sexy so far, and I like where it sounds like it's going.

If I would change one thing, it would be that just before the key change you need some more buildup. It kinda just sounds abrupt to me, and I wasn't really expecting it. Unless that's what you were going for. In which case, good job! (lol)

Also, you should put like... a lead solo kinda thing. That would be incredible. I'd probably pay for that shit. That'd make my day.

Great job.

Hormigas responds:

Thank you for your input very much!

[Epixx]

Right now...

... it sounds really Ambient. Which, I guess IS the genre. But I think it should be Classical if you're trying to make it more "LOTR"-like. Also, it needs percussion. NEEDS percussion. Like... Tympani rolls, cymbal crashes, and stuff like that. That makes it 10x more epic.

I'd keep working on it. You've got quite a bit here so far. So I wouldn't scrap the whole thing.

[Concave Triangles]

Pretty cool...

...but the lead is kind of weird. But I do like all the buildups and stuff.

I'm pretty sure you know this already, but when making trance music leads, you want something simple that is going to stick with people who listen to your songs. And right now, the lead (at least for me) is easily forgettable. The only way people are going to remember this type of a lead is if you either repeat it to the point of annoyance (Don't do this PLZ), or there were words there to accompany them (ex: Cascada has a somewhat complex lead, but has words. And the words associate themselves with the pitches, and you remember the lead)

If you do go back and work on this, I'd suggest trying to make the lead the part of the song that people want to hear, the part that makes all the buildup totally worth it. But, being a mixer myself, I understand if you don't want to go back and change anything.

Anyway, you did a great job nontheless! :)

[Technotronic Generica [Final]]

Good Jorb

Good job for your first actual "Techno" song. Your next couple of songs will definately improve. If you don't want to get tired of a song, do what I do: Sit down for like... 4-6 hours and FUCKING FINISH that shit before you get tired of it.

ForestLomn responds:

LOL!!! Yes and that is what you do. You sit down forever and work on it. The problem for me, is i never have a continuous 4-6 hours unless i dont sleep. Pah, who needs sleep amyways...

[Concrete Ball]

Damn.

This was fuckin METAL man. I totally hate detuned and distorted shit like this but.... wow. This blows everything else that I've heard of this genre way the hell out there. I have to say this is going on my favs. Just... fucking incredible job.

Morphboy responds:

Thanks man! I love varying my work, and I must say this song really turned out the way I wanted it to. :)

[=SnowDayRave=]

Niiice

The synths definitely make me think snow or ice. It's very light-blue and everything. I like it, this should be the anthem of every kid who wakes up and sees snow covering everything as they go to ask their parents if school is closed.

If I had to say one thing it would be the ending just kinda... dies? I guess? It's really abrupt for the vibe the rest of the song puts off. Idk, i just think maybe you could fade out on those synths that you have in the beginning and it would be an awesome ending.

Very good job on this.

Daydream-Anatomy responds:

Thank you^^

I'm glad I was able to capture the feeling, exactly what I was going for.
I might fix the ending later, I thought I'd either add on to the song, or finish it better, but for now that's what it is.

edit: I made it fade/phase out, slightly better:] thanks again^^

[-Time Machine-]

Nice

Okay, so I wanted to kinda be the one to break the line of 10's under this and give you a 8 or 9 because I'm usually pretty critical about songs. But, dammit... this is pretty good. And I also usually have something to say about improvements and stuff but... You have all this shit down. It's weird, like... usually in my head I'm like "... I would have done that differently. Added another part here..." But seriously there were a couple times when it was exactly what I would have done hahah. (PS: I'm not saying my style and what I would do would be the best thing to do or whatever, just that's how I would improve it or whatever X_x)

Also, kinda random, but I've never heard of you before, and I just thought it was kinda funny because I didn't know there were popular audio artists out there too. I though NG was only about flash and all that. But... I guess I did pick the right place to dump my music :)

One more thing: Don't be so expensive with your audio stuff. If you cut all your prices in half, sure you don't get quite as much money, but it opens up a lot more customers.
