SmithBA's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tell Me What I Want To He]

Great song, but the vocals were very loud, at least during the 'verses'. The hook is incredible though.

jtstrick responds:

I need to learn how to master

[Tripo]

Nice track! My thoughts on it (feel free to disregard these opinions if you disagree :p)

Pros:
1) I really like the laid back mood. I feel like the the acoustic guitar riff that comes in around 1:05 really fits the mood of the song.
2) The sounds you chose fit very well together. They compliment each other well. Nice job on that.

Cons:
1) It's a little repetitive. I kept wishing it would go somewhere. Maybe work on being a bit more progressive. Try out a new progression or be daring and go with a key change!
2) Although you have nice rhythms with the instruments alone, my ear kept wanting to hear some sort of percussion. Idk if you chose to leave percussion out of this particular track, if you did I understand that decision.

Overall I thought the song was fun to listen to. Good job on this track.

wolfshowl9 responds:

Awesome! Thanks. I appreciate the review and tips. :)
Have a good morrow.

[Waiting for Vblank]

Nice track. Well written and a nice mix. Just a little repetitive, but overall really good. Great job.

Hikari responds:

Thanks, I got a little stumped around the middle so that's probably why is a little 'loopy'.

[The Road Ahead]

This song is another one of my favorite pieces entered in the MAC. It's well written and the sounds you chose are awesome. The mix is really good. There's not much in this piece that I didn't like. You also get several bonus points for using Finale to compose the song. lol Really good job on this track.

samulis responds:

Hehe, thanks. Still could deal with a good bit of improvement as the other fellas have suggested, but other than that, it's a piece I'm fairly proud of, which is rare, tbh. Glad you like it. :)

[- MB - The Black Wind]

There were a lot of great songs submitted in the MAC and this is one of my favorite ones. I don't wanna write a long review, but I thought the track was fantastic and wanted to let you know I enjoyed it. Great work.

Breed responds:

Much obliged.

Cheers!

[Dallas Aint Shit!]

The song is great. The bass *might* be a touch loud in a couple parts, at least thats the way it sounds in my monitors, but overall the mix is really good. The song is well written, and I enjoyed listening to it. Nice job.

jbotsd responds:

Yeah the bass was just limited hard just due to the fact i wanted to get the song finished sooner. Glad you liked the mix but I didnt really put too much time or effort into it being a demo. It will be re tracked with a drummer soon and ill be sending it off to get mixed :D Really happy you enjoyed the song :D

[~SW~ Astral Nation]

I really enjoyed this song. My favorite part happened @ 2:52. You did a great job mixing this track. The sounds you picked were awesome. This might be my favorite track that I have listened to on newgrounds. just an all around awesome job. 5/5.

SkyeWint responds:

Hey, thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed this song. :)

The part at 2:52 was actually an idea from the soundtrack of a game called Grandia (which has an awesome soundtrack in general btw). Almost all the sounds on this are from one magnificent thing called Omnisphere.

I'm glad you think this is your favorite track - hopefully I can break that record with another track of mine! :D
