PainasaurusRex's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Infiltrating the Lab]

Awesome

I could tell it was you just by listening to it. It sounds great, good luck in the competition :D

OpenLight responds:

Haha thank you, Prex.

[Stargenx - Town]

An Exce

lent loop. Good stuff.

Stargenx responds:

Thanks for the review!

[[OL Remix] |\||_| In Your Arms]

deadmau5

The intro reminded me of an effect I first used by deadmau5, which was, when the kick hit, the rest of the music, went quiet then louder when the kick was gone. I love that effect for some reason. Overall I love the song. It sounds great. The minor scale part behind the main was strange but awesome. The solo was cool, it gave me goosebumps which is very rare for me anymore. Then the chip solo gave me them again. Love it. Then the part where it was fading and coming back in a bunch was awesome. I just loved the track. love love love love love love blah blah blah love love. So there we go, I think it's out of my system. Anyway, good shit OL.

OpenLight responds:

Hahaha woo thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

EDIT: Oh by the way, in case you see this, you can do this on FL studios by messing with the mixer's peak control and linking certain channels to a controller. It's kinda complicated to type out but you can check out videos of sidechaining if you want to find out how to do it.

Pretty good

This is more trance though, however that's why I'm going to recommend this, make the lead part stand out more, it sounds to me like the brass or something from a 3x OSC, just a guess. It would sound better with a more square, sawtooth, or sinetooth sound, just something harsh in my opinion. Also, make it not fade in, as in make it attack faster. So that's what I think. I like it though. It's got some really good sounds, as in all the other sounds are pretty cool. It's really just that one. So keep it up, and PM me when the full version is out, if you'd be so kind.

HunterParasite responds:

alright, ill send it to you whenever i get it done, thanks! i still havent gotten a complete grasp on what makes a song 'good' the help.. well helps :D

[4:46 Connected]

???

I can't even tell what's going on at the beginning and it just sounds bad. Also, the vocalist needs to practice his lung capacity, he seems to breathe a lot and really heavily. The mastering needs some work, overall. The crash cymbal overpowered the rest of the song completely. So there's my opinion. I liked the music at 2:00ish. The screaming sort of took away from it, in my opinion.

Outrage92 responds:

Well I thank you for your review. Thanks for listening as well. He's a smoker, so what do you want. I personally like the sound of breathing, and the feel for it. It brings you closer to the musician and his obvious flaws. And yeah, I agree with you on the crash and mix comments. I wanted to work on it longer, but my friends wanted to get it released asap. We had a hard time recording drums, because I didn't have a mixer and we could only use one mic.

Once again, thanks for the review, bud. [:

[Masterminds]

Note Choices

The scale seems to clash upon itself. It seems like it can't make up it's mind at all. So you might want work on that. That's my opinion of course. It's not bad I like the sounds you use personally. However, still good, keep it up :D

CarlTheVoiceactor responds:

Thanks for the review! I sorta felt the same about the notes but the instrument I used in the program was different from what I normally use. It's like a synth loop and changes with the more notes you add on top of it. I think I'm gettin the hang of it though :P

[=Nightfall=]

Minecraft

Is exactly what I thought it was about before I noticed the comment at the end. I lol'd when I read that though. This song is really good, but I'm with omega on this one, the singing needs to be sped up a bit. Most of the words seem a little dragged out. Other then that though, I liked it. Great song again. The lyrics are fantastic though. Absolutely love them.

DJVigil responds:

haha, it's a great game! but thank you for your feedback, much appreciated. I shall fix the singing!

[Canon in D (Remix)]

Ehhhh

The sounds were pretty boring but I did like the cover. I don't know other then that, it was a pretty good translation though you should learn more of the song then just the intro.

MixTableMastah responds:

thanks for the review :D

just one question though, what do you mean by boring?
as in the they were pretty clean cut and empty or...

[S.P.A.C.E EX plus Alpha]

I don't think it's from that

but I think the reason it sounds familiar is that you did such a good job of capturing the idea. Well done sir/madam. This is a really good song. Sounds psuedo 8-bit. On a side note though, it loops kind of oddly, might want to look into the first few seconds, in my opinion, but overall I liked the song. :D

P.S. Good luck in the competition

F-Meister responds:

Thanks! I put in some "flanged gameboy synth arpeggios" in there so I guess that kinda made it sound pseudo 8 bit.

Yeah, I could never get the whole looping thing right on newgrounds. Usually the stuff loops weirdly the 1st time round but after that its not so bad. Any way around it?

P.S. I'm a guy :)

[thusly cut Cm]

Pretty good... but

The high part at :40 was a little loud and over powering. Seems to me it needs to be brought down a tad and maybe made a little different since it sounds like a midi sound, though that may have been what you were going for, I don't really know your style.

CMusicrun responds:

thanks for the reviews and for the midi sound i realize people have a hard time creating beats so i decided to create simple tracks that do have and impact and left room for improvement so people could take them and make them there own. alot of the instrument choices for most of them are the same i was messing around with a few variations in of my tracks using the feedback you guys give me to created better tracks so i could get rid of some of my older ones . thank you very much though this really helps me out alot
