bossler13's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[SN |Lost, But on Her Way| SN]

sweet

the one complaint I have is that it needs more bass. maybe that's just me, but I just feel it's lacking the bass. other than that, keep it up. this collab should be epic

SessileNomad responds:

oh yes it should indeed be epic my friend

bass + ambient = hard to do, plus i never really like how its sounds

[<EagleGuard> Moon]

not too shabby

yet another good piece of yours. once again, I only have one issue with it. to me, it feels as if it's lacking substance. it could do with more instruments, or more on the melody, something to kick it up a notch. other than that, it's great, so keep it up

EagleGuard responds:

Thanks for the review!

I've been working on the issues you pointed out in other songs I'm currently making (not for Newgrounds, yet...), and I hope to have fixed them.

I made this using a midi keyboard, but I found out that I'm not too good at creating melodies with a keyboard, so I've gone back (back as in, before I started submitting stuff on Newgrounds) to actually writing music with notes and such :p

[<EagleGuard> Jazzy]

very nice

it's a great loop. I can picture exactly what you described for it. the only problem I had with it was that the sax(?) seemed too fake. I could tell it was computer generated and that brought it down a bit. other than that, it totally works. keep it up

EagleGuard responds:

Thanks, yeah I need to look for a better saxophone sample xD

Thanks for the review!

[Lackadaisical Cohort - Part 2]

Just as well done...

...if not better. I like how you can tell it's still part of the same song, but it has it's own style about it. Still very unique and able to keep the listener from getting bored. definitely an interesting use of use of sounds and instruments.

Overall, another great job. Keep up the good work

InvisibleObserver responds:

I'd argue its not 'better' granted its had the misfortune of being a single song lopped in 2.

As for achieving the status of 'interesting', my goal has been met.

Live heartily.

[Lackadaisical Cohort - Part 1]

very well done

this is such a unique piece. it's really hard to find anything wrong with it because of this. It definitely keeps the listener's interest throughout the song, which is a good thing being 6 minutes for the first half.

Overall, great job. Going to listen to the second part now

InvisibleObserver responds:

Excellent that the first half doesn't scream of repetition.

[Over (Extended Mix)]

very well done

I only have two issues with it.

1. Maybe it's just me, but it feels like the bass at the beginning (0:26) feels a bit off. It seems intentional, but without any surrounding music, something just doesn't sound right in my opinion.

2. The kick should be deeper. For me, it got slightly annoying after a while

other than that, I loved it. Keep it up

midimachine responds:

ahhhh noone seems to like that kick sound except me D:

and yeah i think i need something accenting the on-beat in the first bit asdafsda

thanks for the kind words and pointers! :)

[We Aren't Marketable]

pretty good

I really like the dark feel it has. true industrial right there. Once it hit :40 though, I wasn't a huge fan of the melody. It was too happy for this song if you ask me. Once that dropped out, the song flowed very well and I have nothing else I can really say is wrong with it (until the "happy" comes back at 3:50, but not that big a deal since I already mentioned it).

keep up the good work

InvisibleObserver responds:

I felt the change of melody theme helped break the song up a bit, I didn't want the entirety of it to be grundge.

However, I'm quite pleased the song actually has a discernable 'flow'. I was quite concerned about loading this one up on NG. :P

[The Illusion of Conscience]

Very nice

I understand it's an ensemble, so I have no complaints about the lack of substance as others have said. I especially love the build-up towards the end. I do feel, however, that some instruments are a bit weak. for example, I think that the drums overpowered the melody at the beginning in the first 19 seconds. Maybe bring that out a little bit and you've got it.

InvisibleObserver responds:

Continueing tinkering with volume. Clipping is gone, but some things got a tiny bit shifted off from where they were before.

[Journey Tribute]

Not bad

I love Journey, and this was a decent tribute to them. You made it your own, which is good, while still sticking to the main sound that the original songs had. What I didn't like that it was extremely basic. You could easily make it sound more epic by adding more instruments and sounds. A few notes seemed a bit off, and I also feel that it was rushed just a little. Take the tempo down a notch maybe.

Work on that and you've got something awesome

mename3isme responds:

Ha I'm glad somebody on newgrounds likes Journey. Yea, if I have time I'll totally do something different with those three songs.
And basic is my friend when I want to pound a song out in 20 minutes.
Some chords were off... yes.
Thanks for the review, your input is appreciated for realz.

[Everytime We Touch (RMX)(Demo)]

eh, not bad

the melody itself is pretty good. I like the small changes you made to make it more original. what I didn't like was the background sounds. they just seemed too fuzzy and took away from the song. maybe try changing the sound up. that will improve it a lot

Kreepman responds:

Thanks! I'll see what other sounds I can find xD

Thanks for the review <3
