Burn7's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tainted Halls]

Very nice...

...and by "nice" I mean creepy. Yet still freaking awesome. I might... like... maybe... "Borrow" some of this and use it as an intro to a metal song I was doing. If I do end up actually encorporating this into a song, then I will of course ask you first.

But anyway, I really love how this works so well. It sounds extremely... smooth. Especially for something so sinister

TheLizardofOdd responds:

Thank you! I would not mind if you 'borrow' some, so long as you re-orchestrate it to fit your song and give me credit. :) I would love to hear this swap over into some heavy metal. XD

[Thinking is fun 2]

Yessss

Perfect, man! :D You should let me know where this game is going to be so I can try it out!

DrummerExtro responds:

hahahaha! Thanks man ill let you know.

[[D-E] Gateway]

Very nice.

So far, I think this is way cool. I don't really listen to trance as much anymore, but I used to a whole lot. And if I had this song back then I would most definitely have listened to it until I got tired of having it stuck in my head.

----Thoughts/Ideas----

At 1:56 you need a crash cymbal to indicate the beginning of the full entrance of the lead. Crash cymbals really make a big difference.

Maybe after the one lead dies off at 2:40, you could keep the bassline and other synths still there and the kick continuing, and expand upon the melody introduced at 1:18. Then bring back the lead that dropped off, and just keep it up.

Also, try and add some occasional variety in there. Either with the beat, or with the lead. Because, to me at least, it really shows that the mixer cares about keeping their audience interested.

Right now that's all I've got. I know how frustrating writer's/musician's block can be, and I'm pretty sure you'll work through it.

DjDub-E responds:

Perfect review and great advice. Thanks for the input.

[SMW Bowser's Castle Epic Mix]

Wow, sweet man!

Okay, this was pretty excellent. BUT... at like 00:50, I was expecting (and praying) that like this crazy beat would drop and it would be EPIC. But it didn't and honestly, I was a little let down (lol). Also, there is kind of this strange like... Phasing Wah sound especially prominent in the beginning that is offbeat and kind of out of place. One more thing: I would love to hear the deep bass come out a lot more at 00:54-1:12, that would make my day.

But overall, this was pretty damn awesome. I liked it a lot, and am considering downloading this because it's one of the few tracks on NG that I can honestly say I enjoyed thoroughly. Maybe you could refine this even more and try OCRemix. They probably won't accept because they are prudes and only accept the most insane-quality mixes.

GJ and keep on it!

SilverSpyro responds:

Thanks for the feedback man! Eventually I'm gonna try to have it go into some dubstep at that part but i am still figuring everything out haha.

[Owl Country]

Very Chill

I liked this, it was pretty relaxing. And... kind of weird, but I didn't notice that there was an owl sound until like 1:50-ish.

Don't really have any criticism because I can't think of any way to improve this.

LuigiSounds responds:

:D Thats great,
thanks man.

[©hïll with DubStep]

Too quiet for meh

It was okay when I turned up my speakers like waaaaay super damn loud, but at normal volume this is too quiet for my liking.

Conal responds:

It's ambient. :3

[Thinking is fun]

Cool, but not sure if I could listen forever.

This was pretty nice. If this was in a game that I was playing, however... I think that shaker sound would drive me crazy. Don't ask me why. Repetitive percussion just really gets my goat. I would kill the shaker about halfway through, then bring it back for the last few measures.

But regardless, this would go frigging PERFECT in a puzzle game, so for what you were trying to achieve I think it deserves a 5/5 10/10 because you did it.

DrummerExtro responds:

Thanks soo much, ill post up another one with the shaker killed towards the last few measures and ill repost up tomorrow. :) Thanks soo much!

[Eretheral Malice]

This was pretty sexy.

For a first? Damn, man. I really thought this was pretty cool. I really liked the warbly echo-verb sound. That's pretty much what drew me into this whole thing.

I would recommend using a harder synth bassline or possibly a more distinguishable lead, and I am not really one for beat, but I thought it was kind of weaker in that area (Mostly because I'm really picky and particular about the sounds I use in my beat). But regardless this was awesome.

Centrist responds:

I agree, a harder lead would work. :x Yeah, I used what I had for the drums. I didn't know what else to put in, so eh. ;D

Thanks for the review!

[Sexlexia]

Yessssss...

Is this just one guy!? Or is it like... your band? Because either way, this is pretty sexy. I basically have a boner over these songs and their sexy wah solos that make me wish I had a pedal... Regardless, Thank you new lord and savior!

(Except the titles of the songs kinda weird me out. But cool nevertheless)

PylonMan responds:

Eoop.

[I Am Unknown]

Way cool!

Wow, in the beginning there it was kinda sounding scary and in my head I was like "...THIS is 'Chillout trance'?!". But it turns out that this eventually built up to be something way cool, and eventually I understood what was going on. I did indeed just chill out and listen to this.

I find it strange that I didn't get tired of the piano because I usually get bored with the same melody/chord progression/whatever. But seriously, I could listen to this forever and I don't think it would ever get old.

Nice job!

Coda9 responds:

Haha thank you! Its all about the builds!
