PainasaurusRex's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Celestial Exploration]

Relaxing

It's pretty sweet. I was just kinda chilling out to it. The sound fx in the background was what really did it for me. The waahhhaa was cool. I really like it. It's good. However, but to me it was a little repetitious. I liked the echo. Also, not everything seemed to fit very well in my opinion. I liked it, just seemed a little awkward at points, but at the same time it was really good. Just a little to relaxing. DUM DUM DUM O.o Awesome song though man. Also I like how it loops, just saying, you nailed that.

P.S. Good luck in the competition :D

seargenthippo responds:

Thanks for the review!

Yeah... I could of done a little more work on this one...

[Anthem of the Stars]

Sweet

I think of it more as a victory theme then a song of soaring through space, but it's awesome. I really digged it. Also, if you're looping, don't end on a crash cymbal cause it needs to reverberate or it sounds weird. It's better to just end on a high hat or something that just ends really quick so it can loop better with out sounding awkward on the last part of it.

Lalalo14 responds:

Yeah, the cymbal sounded kinda weird now that u mentioned it.
Thanks for the tip and for the review! :)

[Brokenkites - Columbiad]

du du du du... du du du

I like it, nice disonance. It sounds good. I was getting down to it sitting in my chair with my headphones on. A little to minimal for my tastes but good none the less. Not bad sir, not bad.

P.S. wish you luck in the competition. :D

[Krowe - Chemical (WIP)]

Another Good song

Just so you know, don't post around this time, there's a zero bomber around at this time.

Also, this song is sick. I'm not really a fan of DuB step but this was sick.

[Dark Star - Sky dreams]

It appears a zero bomber is on

It was pretty sweet, I liked it. Sorry about the Zero Bomb, every song I've checked out so far has had atleast one zero, including my own, so I gave you a five. I did like it, so don't assume it was just the zero bomber. It was a nice techno song.

xasterothx responds:

Why thank you sir.

yes the Zero bombers are indeed a bane to the newgrounds audio world. THEY MUST BE BURNED AT THE STAKE! jk They just need some of papa's love :3

[Awaken the Air]

It's sweet

10/10 5/5

I liked it a lot. I also want to know what you're using for your sounds, cause I've been looking for the noise/bass sound you have and the melody synth sound since I got FL Studios XD. Pro shit man, this is the kind of music I'd listen to at the club I occasionally visit, Necto. Which apparently plays local stuff, so if you give me permission when I eventually go back there I'll take this on a CD and give it to the DJ to see if he'll play it. However, I need your permission obviously. Also, you'd obviously be the one getting the credit. So PM if you want me too.

Now the actually critique from a musician not a raver XD.

Heavily industrial, in the beginning. Though it is slow to start, however, with the genre in mind, I didn't really mind. Though it is good to have stereo seperation, I think the cymbal starting at 27 seconds and continuing there on out should be centralized. I only noticed this when I put some headphones on. It's a relatively loud sound and it's rather distracting when it's only in one ear. Also, if I'm hearing things. Another idea for that, is that if you made it alternate ears, that would be sweet. Other then that mastering was great as far as I could tell. Though I think that doing the occasional alternating ear thing would be cool in this song, to just some more variety. At about 3 minutes the noise bass thing gets a little repetitious though, nothing to major since this is a dancing song. The part starting at 3:25 is a little weird. Not in a terrible way, but I feel like the higher part needs to be backed off a tiny bit. The ending is good though, a nice repeat of the noise bass intro. Can't remember the techincal term but it's good.

So I listened to it 3 to 4 times, so that means something. I really like it, just some of those little things. Though, since this is your song, you have every right to ignore me, since I stand by the fact that what I post is opinion not facts. However, keep up the good work, I really liked this song. It's, like I said, Pro shit.

OpenLight responds:

Haha thanks!

Everything you said, I agree with. I would centralize the hihat but I thought it would sound better than it did haha. Ah well, at least it isn't melody.

Those parts that sounded weird are just kinda how I do stuff haha. That is, if I know what you mean. I have a weird style.

And the noise bass I agree with, and I wish I would have used it less haha.

Anyway, thanks!

Zero Bombers

Your third person I've seen that's gotten a zero bomber, so I gave you five out of spite.

ChronoNomad responds:

Yeah, the zero bombers suck all the fun out of the portal, don't they? Thanks for the vote and comment. :)

[Woodman medley of melodies]

Lol

Awesome, nothing real to say, other then it's really fun

[[JL] Sandstorm]

Totally tought this was a remix

Pretty cool egyptian sounding scale that you used. The beats good, the snare stands out to me a little bit, a little to harsh in the part with clavi or harpsichord or w/e you're using for the main melody. That's my opinion though. And this one is really cool, but since I haven't listened to all of your stuff yet, I can say for sure what should go on a CD, I actually made one yesterday of the stuff of mine that I like the most ^_^" so I think you should pick the songs that represent your style the best though, and you think people like. :)
