Burn7's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[No Remorse []]

Excellent job

Sexy ass guitars, how do you get that sound? (Amp, Effects, Mixing)

It was very... heartfelt. However, I think you should get a singer to complete the badass. That's what I need in my band too, is a good singer. I have this amazing female singer but... it wouldn't work for the kind of sound I want to convey.

deathkllr84 responds:

I actually don't like my guitar tone on here besides the 1:18 area clean guitar. The distortion tone is too fuzzy IMO. I use a Digitech RP250 with custom tones.

Nah, vocals on a song this short would be ehh, and I would like re-record it before vocals ever got on this one. \m/ glad you lked it

[Pokemon G/S Champion Lance]

Very nice :)

You have more balls than I for using the clip in your song :P

I liked the instruments used, the melody was damn good, and it was all pretty well executed EXCEPT...

The percussion. The drums are awesome when they are there, but when they're not it just kinda sounds... empty. I saw your other review where you said that you switch beats every couple measures and also how your drums don't sound too great at this tempo, so you probably didn't have very many samples/loops to work with.

A few suggestions:

1st) I would use crashes to signify the entrance and exits of beats. It helps with the flow of the song. Use reverse crashes before the 1st of the measure that changes so that the listener is readied for a change.

2nd) You could also increase the tempo to twice what it is, and lengthen the notes accordingly so your beats will work better (EX: Quarter Notes become half notes and so on). The melodies and stuff will all be in correct time and your higher BPM beats will fit in just right.

Just some suggestions :)

9/10

3.80 - 3.92 (+12)

Dachampster responds:

Thanks man! I think I'm going to try doing that. As for the tempo, I'll see what I can do, I probably have drums that work, but the Jampack I got for my program gave me thousands, so I probably only looked in one section for all of the 20 songs I've done with it...
As for the clip, its alright to use because Newgrounds isn't monitored for that kind of stuff as heavily as Youtube is. Thanks for sending me that clip!

Roflol!

I didn't read the descrip at first and was like "Dude... what the hell, I've heard this somewhere. KEYGENS! He's a pirate pirating a pirate!" But then I saw your comments and laughed.

Honestly I have to say the original is better because it does have all those awesome solos and all that. But this is a pretty good tribute.

And note sliding uses the "Pitch Bend" automation. At least in the trackers/samplers I've used.

JohnLeprechaun responds:

I've found a few ways to pitch bend, but the good old "slide" option works just fine. Always good to read the author's comments. ;)

[Chimy727 -Horizons.]

You need to work on volume.

The whole song is good, but... It's really fucking loud. Like... turn your speakers up or something because its sooo loud.

Your piano clips when the lower part comes in. The synths are so loud that you can almost not hear the beat. It's like 80/20 Synth to Beat at some points. At least try to keep it a 60/40 if you could.

So.. my suggestion would be to either turn down the mix a little bit, or turn down some parts individually. Otherwise I think this is good... minus the part where you spelled "Horizons" wrong.

8/10
4/5

Keep it up!

Chimy727 responds:

lol i kinda agree not that loud but thanks a ton for the tip!
i need more reviews and i will fix it all.
and LOL thanx for the correction on the spelling! :3
thanks a ton for the review! :D

[[c30] Shadows]

I approve.

Love the 8-bit mixed with newer style sounds. I like it, but I wish you would expand on it a ton more though and maybe bring out the lead at the end a little bit more.

I think it gets kind of buried within the hard beat. But regardless this is very cool. Seems like any time I listen to your shit its always new and sounds like you put effort in there, even if you didn't.

Keep composing and mixing that shit up, my friend.

And btw, I noticed your score was rather low. I wonder why this is? Oh yeah, FUCKING 0 BOMB ASSHOLES. I'm fav'ing this page so I can 5 bomb the shit out of it for the next few days. It's my own personal way of getting back at the 0 bombers. Don't ask why, it makes sense in my fucked up head.

culmor30 responds:

Thanks for the review, glad you liked it enough to write a review that long :D People usually just say "pretty cool" (if anything) instead of giving any helpful advice.

> I'm fav'ing this page so I can 5 bomb the shit out of it for the next few days.

Thanks for doing that, zero-bombers are one of my wost problems with this site. I can't get any publicity because of the fuckers who listen to 5 seconds of a song (if they even listen at all) before voting zero.

Hey assholes, if you're not going to listen to most/all of the song, don't vote zero to kill what might be a good submission. (Doesn't apply to just my submissions, of course.)

[Dark Cloud 2 Battle RMX]

Dude, rock on!

I love the Kind of... I don't know how to describe it, actually. The two offbeat synth hits every measure(?) I don't know, but it's frigging awesome, it sounds like the song is just chugging along, kicking ass and taking names. You should definitely finish this in the direction it's heading. The instruments are frigging perfect. The beat is tight, the synths are just crunchy enough, and it all works out.

Ixalon responds:

Thank you very much for this awesome review! Hmm, I should continue this work then, add some new effects on it and mix it more and get more power off from it then! I really try my best to continue this then and working more with this. Thank you very much for supporting review!

[Fredgy - hard shit]

Needs Transitioning

But you should really make this into a full length song. The leads are badass, but there's really no build up into them. Which is some of the reason it's so "hard" is because there's a soft build to compare it to.

You don't know pain until you know pleasure, so start off softer and make it hard as fuck. You've definitely got the hard down, now make it all worth it :)

Fredgy responds:

okay, if i got my stuff back i'll try
thanks

[EpicState(T.O.F)]

Awesome shit, my friend.

This was just... sweet, man. I love the sound of a nearly 8-bit lone-sine, and this was pretty damn awesome.

I love that you really worked on the melody more than the beat. I think that people are spending too much time on a beat, when the beat should actually complement the melody.

I'm not really one to plug my own songs, but this reminds me of one that I did called "Unnamed Journey". It's a different style than yours, but it's pretty similar at heart.

TheOnlyFool responds:

Wow, two reviews in the shortest time yet, not to mention them being good reviews, Thanks! :D

Also, I listened to your song "Unnamed Journey" and your right, the best way to describe its relationship would probably be to say that it has the same mood, and general listening perspective.

[Rise Of A New Emperor]

Can definately hear the fucking effort.

This was pretty damn engaging. The beginning drew me in pretty fast, which I like. The bass is deep, the lead is crunchy and melodic, the beat is steady and I love that it throws so much variation at you. That and I can't really hear it clip at all, which means great mastering.

Great work. Seriously, I know you might just kinda read those words "great work" like they're nothing, but I mean it. Great job.

DofS responds:

Thanks man, your words mean a lot to me.
