PainasaurusRex's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[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. :)

[Wasn't Me [Trance]]

-_-

Awesome. I was so relaxed listening to it. And something that really made me love it for whatever reason was when the bass was just hitting every beat and, (as it appeared to me) the hihat was panning back and forth. It was awesome, I just tilted my head back and listened to it.

Or4nges responds:

It makes my day (or night rather) when people really listen and enjoy my stuff.

Thanks so much for listening, i'll give you a look :)

My suggestion

I love the music, your vocals need some work.

My suggestion, breathe in to your chest. Sing from the stomach. Hard to explain. But it sounds a little nasally which is why I suggest that. I like the lyrics. Bring it down a little bit on the volume. Also, don't forget you can always add effects on it. The best do it, you can do it too.

You can do it, you just need to practice. Something you can do also is to work on your breathing. first, breathe in for 4 beats, then out for 4 beats. Repeat this a couple of times, then change it to breathing in for 3 beats and out for 4 beats. Repeat, keep doing this until you are breathing in for 1 beat out for 4 beats. Then as you increase your lung capacity, change the 4 beats you're breathing out to a higher number. I was a musician and in high school there were people able to breathe in for 1 beat and out for over 10 beats, so it's just something to work on.

Furthermore, I like the lyrics (and I know the usage of the furthermore was incorrect). I think you could be a really good singer, and feel free to PM me whenever, I get on relatively often.

Seriously though, I like the song, it's really nice. I hope you keep producing soungs like this.

Well that sums up my longest review yet, I hope you learned something from me :D I also hope that was putting it nicely enough XD

DJVigil responds:

Thank you very much for your review, I'm very flattered you that you can see some potential talent in me, and thank you very much for your advice, I'll try and use it ^_^

[Superficial Hero - Original]

I gave it a five

While it appears someone gave it a 0, I gave it five cause it deserves it.

Wanessie responds:

Thank you!

[Dragon's Sorrow ¨Nick¨]

AMBIENCE ambience ...amdbience...

I like it, it's very ambient, with a nice melody. Thumbs up. :D And if you think no one listens to your stuff then just check your listens

NickKaedallus responds:

Thanks for the review!

BTW, you can't really know, especially on times when Zerobombing happens a lot ;D

But thanks again for your support :D

Rock On!

[Space Warrior]

ZERO

not really, but this song was interesting. And the zero bombers are just trolls. So just ignore them. I've been hit a few times myself, I just don't care though cause if it's a good song it'll recover.

MazinMark responds:

Thank you, hopefully my song will survive the swarm of zero bombers so that people may enjoy it :)

[A Traveler's Journey Pt. 4 V2]

Ze Best

Fucking love. This one is the best hands down... For a rave party. Though I think 2 is the most musically techincal. Overall, I like this one the most though. Sweet series OL, I love it. Keep it up.

OpenLight responds:

Thanks! Retroman and I may be making a part 5 on this. I've wanted to collab with him for a while, and since this is based loosely on his Mount Revenant song, we figured it'd be cool to collab on the final part.
