Lublub194's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Dwarven Fortress]

Whoa whoa whoa man.

Hope I'm not too late for you to get this review. Because I've got some nice things to say about this song. Some really nice things.

Hot diggity damn did I enjoy this.

The bass, the brass, everything collided together to make some great harmony. This has got to be the best piece I've heard all night. Mind you, I've only listened to 15 or 16 pieces so far, but this is by far the best classical piece.

It builds great suspense, and has an ominous feeling to it, making it an epic piece.

Sir you've got the beats, you've got the melody, you've got the structure, you've got the mastering. What do you need? Nothing. Except maybe a collab? :O

Anyways good sir, I'd be more then happy to collab with you, you make some great work.

Nice work sir. Nice.

SpoofyTMSGOGF responds:

Hey thanks man! I've listened to some of your stuff, and I promise you I'll tell you what I think of some of it soon!

And as for a collaboration, I'm all for that! But... I see you use Reason and FLStudio, while I've been using GarageBand exclusively until just recently. I'm just starting to get my head around Ableton Live 6. I don't know if that will cause a problem or not, but I'll probably pm you to work out the details and whatnot. Again, thanks for the review!

[Intro (Ancest)]

Hmmm.

Peaceful, strong instrument choices, good melody.

Those are really what I got from this piece, it's really melodic, and nice. If this is an intro to an album that's slower, you've got a good piece. Otherwise, It could use some speeding up.

I'm not sure if you want to or not, but one thing I thought it could use were some timpani's and crashes. I think that'd add some extra to the aura of the song.

Overall though man, this is a nice piece. Great work!

TehGodoFall responds:

Actually, It's supposed to be light on the instrumentals. It's actually the intro to the album (I just noticed you said that, so disregard that). The album goes both ways, It crescendos through the entire album, so this starts it off slow on purpose.

Thanks for your review!

[Mello Surroundings]

Hmmm.

I likethis sir.

The cellos and basses are a real nice touch. The whole thing is mellow, just like this says, and it's got a good melody.

Nice stuff.

MrKennedy123 responds:

Thanks. I myself also agree with the melody. It's definitely one of the better themes i've come up with.

[AT - Buried in the Sand]

Merh.

I'm not sure if I'm chilling as much as I have in the past.

The drums, atleast on my crappy laptop speakers... are way... way over powering the rest. The snare is extremely loud. *Plugs in headphones* Not as bad on headphones, Actually I don't think they're bad at all on headphones, but that's probably because of the powerful bass kick. I like the bass kick a lot in this song.

You're overall melodies are swell. Some odd choices, but they are good.

Overall, I've not much to complain about, but maybe the high treble on the snare.

/late review.

AlmostTechnicolor responds:

Yeah, I listened to this on these really crappy speakers earlier today and it sounded so bad. I hate how much of a difference different speakers make. Sigh.

I like the snare loud, yo. It screams in pleasure.

[Lp- first try]

Ohh...

First off. You make far better music that's not on the computer =P That may not sound like a compliment, but it totally is. It's better to be good in real life, then on the computer.

Now onto the review:

I agree somewhat with what Mr. Cebster said, but I also disagree. Yes it is early, but the earlier the better. Mastering can make all the difference in a song. I came across a song earlier that made that point proven, where they had this one synth too loud and it shattered my headphones. Literally. The left side won't work >:(

Anyways, you don't have the mastering down, but it's still fairly decent for a first song that is. I'd like to know what program you used for this?

Overall man, you've got the melody stuff down. Just gotta get that mastering stuff.

Good work.

Lpauley responds:

sorry for my belated responses to well.. everything haha.
i'm using fl studio 9, but i was basically just using one mixer and the piano roll on like two different vsts haha

im not sure im going to keep working on computer generated music, but i'd love to take your advice :p

[Taste of a Positive Comeback]

Merh.

Ya need some work.

You're mastering is what mainly needs work. Your over all melody is good. Actually great... it's just thrown away by your mastering, and yes, mastering can make all the difference.

There were several things that stood out.

First thing that came to mind: The click, it's not the kick drum, but possibly the snare? It's just a click sound that's extremely high pitched, and blasts out loudly. Possibly drop the dynamics, or lower the volume...

The next thing was the bass. Or rather the high version of the bass. That came in at :34 It's tooo loud. It definitely should be lowered.

Then there was some texture... that for a while, stood on it's own. Which it's not bad itself, but it's also too loud.

Those 3 things really took away from my experience.

The ending with the tempo slowed down was a definite plus though. Keep that :D

Drums: Yes
Melody: Yes
Volume: No.

Kherr responds:

Now this is the kind of input I like to hear!

I merely threw this together in literally 2 hours... it's a sampler for the few people that follow me to let them know that I'm back. I didn't actually devote any time to this, I'll re-release a mastered version, this was just raw soundloops, no mastering whatsoever... :D Thanks for the positive response though! :D

BTW - I like the icon for your profile... DOOM was epic in itself... Skulltag for the win! :D

*EDIT*

I cannot release a mastered copy of this simply because I had a critical HDD failure coupled with a motherboard failure and had to buy this new lappy, but then just so happened to have a critical failure with the HDD again, so I replaced the HDD but now had to install linux because I didn't have a legit copy of windows for it, so yea... I'm in the red ATM... BUT, when I can afford to I will be buying a copy of Windows XP Professional and a new PC for that windows... T_T

[Another world (by ReFreezed)]

Oh?

This is here too?

I've listened to it like 7 or 8 times on Bandcamp... I never knew it was here.

I really like this one, the kick is freaking awesome. Not the kick drum either, the whole kick of the song, the way it just kinda shows you it's there. Like. KAPOW!

Anyways... It's full of epicness, and I've nothing to say against it.

Excellent transitions, drums, structure, melody, beat, everything good sir.

ReFreezed responds:

Whoa, I totally missed your review :O

But now I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. Thanks for the liking! :D

[Lamp + LB - Interlude]

We rock.

Pretty much nothing more needs to be said.

We rock, and we should collab all the more.

Lamplighter responds:

We rock more than a landslide of boulders. We rock more than a field of asteroids. We rock... a lot.

I say definitely. We need to collab our hearts out and then collab our livers out... perhaps that's too much. But yes. I see many a collab in the future :D

[NA - Dumbstep]

What the hell?

What's up with the low reviews?

This kicks so much ass.

I want that bass vst. It's freaking amazing.

This whole thing is filled with awesomeness. The drums, the bass. It's all great.

Don't listen to the others. They are jealous. So am I :3

Nice work. Seriously. It's awesome.

[ThatBrokenDrum]

Erhmm.

I don't even want to do this... so here are some tips:

Learn structure.
Lose the high pitch noises.
Actually make melody.
Don't try to rape someone's ears.

Then you'll have decent industrial.

JustLikeAmmy responds:

Blow me.
