Jimbobsthebest's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[2'29'']

Ok I know this is a joke but...

I know this is a joke, but i'm getting a little tired of it to be honest. This has been done so many times it is ridiculous. Anyway, I was under the impression that Cages 4'33 was meant to be a live performance, so that the music was in the sound of the audience (coughing etc).

I'm sorry if it is me not being able to take a joke, and it probably is, but this one is on deaths door. What ever will someone do next, play it in reverse, 'arrange' it? No matter how many time this 'music' tries to be spun, it is still the same old cliche s***.

Haggard responds:

Well, this was only partial meant to be a joke. Mostly I wanted to see how people would react to this submission.

Yes, Cage's performance was a live performance. But it works here as well, I think. Anything you can hear outside (or inside) can be the music you are listening to (cars passing by, someone walking around, kids playing outside, etc.). But we aren't aware of those noises because we are busy doing other things (like listening to music ^^).

Anyway, thanks for the review!

[Green Goblin]

OK here a review...

The intro is phat, but it doesn't quite feel heavy enough when it drops in. The beat is pretty much perfect though. I really can't flaw it, it's well eq'ed and got enough variation to really keep it interesting. The backing synths are really nice too.

However, I think the bass could use a little work on it. I reckon it would make a big difference if you even just layed a subbass underneath it. Don't get me wrong, I like what you've done with the wobble sounds, but it just doesn't quite sound deep enough...

Overall this is a nice tune. I can tell you've spend a long time on this. It's really interesting and got loads going on, I just think the bass is letting it down ever so slightly.

Anyway it's an 8/10 and a 5/5 from me man as I think it's current score (1.78) doesn't represent it in the slightest. Good work man, keep them coming.

crackheadtrent responds:

Awesome thanks!

Yeh to be honest I did what I could with the bass but Garageband doesn't really give you much option. I tried to add a sub but it didn't make much different, so I totally agree with you.

I don't really have time to make tunes anymore, I'm very busy with video stuff and life stuff and looking for a job. Still, thanks for the support my friend!

[These Mistakes are Mine Alone]

Very nice tune man...

This was a really nice tune, very well produced and at a good pace. I personally though it was a bit lacking in bass. I mean, I know there wasn't a bass, but I reckon a really soft fluid type of bass, just to keep it flowing would have worked fantastically here.

This however is my only criticism, the rest was really well done. Congratulations on a phat tune!

nubbinownz responds:

yeah there wasn't supposed to be a strong bass, but in doing so i left out any bass at all. I may do a remake of this song and add some low end to fill it out.

[dolphin rescue squad]

Interesting....

Hmmm... it's pretty different. If i'm honest i'm not really sure what to make it. I think I like it. Yeah I do like it. It's a bit all over the place whilst being well organised.

Good work, it's definitely different.

spamwangler responds:

thanks for the review:)

yea, i didnt really know how to genre-ise this one,
and it does have a pretty weird stop-start rhythm to it

[==(Melting Snow)==]

A review for you...

Right, the introduction is sounding quite promising. Although that piano sounds a little basic to me. I think it maybe could have worked better as a different sound playing that tune. The ambient background pads however are spot on. Really deep and give this piece alot of thickness. I'm a fan of the main synth. It works nicely.

Perhaps the drums could have been a little louder? I think that towards the end especially, you really need those powerful drums to give it a bit more of a climax. It's a very happy tune, it's well organised and maintains interest until the end.

Over it's a good song. Good work.

[Rhythm Of Fear]

Very good song.

I'm afraid this isn't going to be a very good review as I don't really have any criticisms. I have downloaded, and with your permission may be DJing this at my end of university celebration.

Thanks for submitting.

James

I don't mind, As long as you don't say that the work is yours as it is classified as STEALING, But yes you can use it under my permission.

Thank you for the Score and Review!

[teh best song ever!]

Haha...

I tried to take this seriously at first, then just burst in to laughter.

Especially liking the 'My PC is fucked'.

[Sick Day]

Really nice tune man

This is a very flashesque tune. I can really see this being used in an animation. It's catchy and something that gets your head moving. It's also sort of mystical as well as being driving.

I can't really fault this piece, although I reckon it would sound really awesome played with live instruments.

Good work man!

[BodyBreak]

Nice tune... but a little repetitive.

This is a heavy tune, but it seems to be a little minimal, even for dubstep. I reckon even the slightest little touch of reverberated melody over the top could give it the variation it needs.

Good work though, always nice to hear some fresh sounds.

James.

[Bass Hunter [DubStep]]

Nice slow bass....

This a pretty nice tune man. Nice chugging wet bass going on, which is awesome. There does however seem to be a little bit of distortion in certain parts. You may want to be a little more careful when checking the levels.

All in all it's a nice tune. Good to get wrecked to ;)
