Burn7's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[Technotronic Generica Ver. 1]

Trippin

Cool, but a pretty different style than what I would do. As seen in the Version 2.

ForestLomn responds:

And as seen from the scores of when these songs first came up, yours was liked a lot more. Thats why im working to finish that version.

[Technotronic Generica Ver. 2]

THAT'S ME!

:)

Great review, I know.

ForestLomn responds:

Ha ha yes thank you for the comment. No one else saw fit to comment, so yours is much appreciated.

[Shadow Hunt]

Nice, original.

Was pretty cool, I liked the breakbeat in the beginning that eventually turned into a steady one. Nice job. If there was one thing that I would say to do to this song, it would be to further differentiate the lead from the rest of the song by raising it by one octave, or adding a duplicate track to the lead one octave higher for the second portion of the song.
-4/5
-8/10
Fav'd :)

DustAngel responds:

Thanx for the review man! finally a review that was fun to read! and I'm really glad u liked the song, and thanx for the tips I try to get those in my upcomming songs :D

by the way i'll think i will go and check out some of your songs XD

[Fuck My Life]

I'm Confused...

... as to why this has such a low rating. Because it's fucking incredible. Describes sadness perfectly, a state that I often have trouble describing musically. But you goddamn nailed it here. Mistakes, edited ending, whatever. It doesn't even matter because this is frigging amazing.

I, for one, am kind of annoyed wen people review my music with "WOW This is amazing! Thanks!!!", because they don't even understand everything that went into it. And although I do realize you havnt done much mastering or whatever, this is still fucking grand.

I honestly wish this would get the credit and attention it deserves, but because it's not techno, it will be ignored here on NG unless by some miracle it gets into the Top 5/"Best of All Time".

The one bright side to spiraling endless depression is that you have plenty of inspiration to express your dreary, painful feelings in any way you can to try and scrape the torment out from within.

darbyjack responds:

Words of wisdom.

I am also a little disappointed with the somewhat low rating, compared to some other work on here. But oh well... That's music for you. Same thing applies to the Jonas Brothers - people sure do listen to crap these days!

Thanks a lot.

Jack.

EDIT: Rating seems to be not too bad now...

[LoZ // The Potion Shop]

Cool, but lacking.

I like this a lot, but you're missing a kind of key element: The bassline. At least from what I remember, there was a bass kind of keeping it movin' along. Really feels like it's missing the bass. If there was some sort of bass in there I would approve wholeheartedly.

Regardless, this was absolutely true to the original. And for that I say 4/5, 7/10.
