Burn7's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Drumstep Experiment]

This is pretty goddamn good, my dude. Next time you're putting together a drop, try playing with having an 808 or triangle-wavey synth play a single deep note and manually automate a detune on the fucker. If it needs some fattening up to get that really crunchy deep drop, throw on some mid-freq distortion pre-pitch shift/detuner.

And maybe some speedy hi-hat things? That might just be me though, I love a good rhythmic background hat piece behind that beat.

Otherwise this all sounds real good. Reeeeeal gooooood.

Thank you, I'll think about it when finishing this if I ever do x)

[Impetuses-Metaljonus]

Very rad with impressively solid consistency across a technically impressive riff. I absolutely dig the ridiculous drum fills during the slower chorus-y bits. As usual your singing leads are a major driving factor and rawdog the track in a killer way.

The drums sound pretty damn good, what kind of axe did you get?

Also, congrats on your status as a dad! I'm sure Ryan will be shredding in no time :D

[It Was Sunny]

This is rather chill, I quite dig it. It's very minimalist and works quite well as a single cohesive piece. Love that use of space and panning. Hot melody around 2:00, although I think I hear your piano clipping O.o

Additional EQ would do this well, I promise :) Give your kickdrum an 80hz bump and remove lows from your piano for audio fidelity improvements. Unless you already did these things and my old ears can't tell anymore :P

Although it's not typically what I'd choose to listen to, I'm glad I did. Good work on this!

rsonbie456 responds:

Thanks for this awesome review! Yeah, I agree that additional EQ needs to be done. I have since improved piano recordings, so hopefully my future songs will have less clippings and distortions in piano sounds!

I'll take your advice on the kickdrum and lows! I definitely can do some more practice with EQing.

Thanks for listening! :D

[NuSexy-Metaljonus]

Holy christ, I forgot how much I love your riffs and tunage man.

Your drums are beautiful, your guitar tones are epic as balls, your tags are excellent, your solos make me weep tears of blood, your rhythms are like miniature masterpieces of timing and execution.

If you ever stop writing music, I will seriously come find where you live and gorrilla glue a guitar and pick to your body so you have no choice. Because there is NO reason on this planet for someone such as you to ever stop being so fucking excellent.

Metaljonus responds:

LOL! You're funny dude! I'm not going anywhere. I can promise you that! I've been wanting to redo PC for a while. Maybe i'll get around to it. Thanks for listening dude!

[FS: Hegira]

Holy fucking fuck, it's so harmonious.

I don't know what "BreatheLeoda" is talking about, KEEP the drums. Fuck, make them MORE real-sounding, they're excellent. Samples are entirely personal preference. You can't please everyone with your drums no matter what you do... But they fit right in with the synth composition which is, while not "traditional", varied and functional. I agree that a bit of 'verb and maybe a light (or heavy) chorus-effect on a few of the instruments could go a long way.

I feel like the thing I like most about this is the actual composition of the piece. The note selection in relation to melodies and rhythmic moving dynamics... I don't know if that makes sense but it's staggeringly shmexy. I'm sure this took quite a bit to put together, so I downloaded it as a token of appreciation for this being a freakishly cool work.

FairSquare responds:

Thanks man! And yeah.. i like composing more than all that mixing and mastering stuff :p
I'm glad you like the drums. I do too.
But really, thanks for the feedback, i appreciate it!

[Minding your P's and Q's]

Well, it's official.

You're a piratey, guitar-toting badass. If I ever have the chance to fill a solo with a guest spot, you're number 1 on my list. I know you've probably heard this before, but this song made my penis cry tears of milky ecstasy. Then those tears became a river, then an ocean, and the only thing left afloat over the entirety of this world was a single man, a man with a mean face and a sick rhythm hand.

That man, was you.

RobSoundtrack responds:

Wow man wow
Thanks so much for the really nice words!!
Call upon me any time! You might get a phone call as well.

[Defy the Faith]

Oh. My. Balls.

They're gone.

2:28. That was it. That's what did it for me. That's what transformed this song from casual background listening to being the center of my attention. That's quite an accomplishment for someone with ADD like mine. This song just became my new god.

This whole thing. Is just. ... It just...

I don't even have WORDS right now, man! I usually try to make my reviews useful and possibly even insightful but... I can't. Not this time. There is nothing I can say about this song that would be enough praise, nothing that I could suggest that would make it any more interesting and amazing. There is not one single word in the English language that I could use to summarize this song.

Oh wait. Lets try: Monolithic. This song is Monolithic, and if this doesn't inspire a new generation of Rock Gods then there truly is no more hope left for humanity.
