Lublub194's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[ECHO - Reverb-X (2009)]

Hmmm...

Some of your melody's seem to try to over power the other, and that makes them stand out by them self. When they should be working together to form harmony.

Your drums are pretty good, but I think they need a bit more presence. They seemed to be there, but they lacked that dance feeling that most dance song drums have.

The textures you used were really good choices. Some of the synths sounded good, but they seemed like maybe they could use a bit of reverb? The trumpet sound that comes in, it seems like it's a little too loud, I think that could be toned down a bit.

Other then that, it's got excellent composition, and it gives a very much trance-like feeling to it.

Echo responds:

When you mention the overpowering, that's supposed to happen in some parts. I changed the theme of the song a bit from the original, making it sound more like a three way battle between the piano, the synth and the trumpet.

Still though, i agree that i tried too hard to overpower in some parts, i guess i could change that and i already turned down the volume on the trumpet ;)

Thks for the review, hope i'll be seeing more of ur songs on the RRC request list :)

[Carnivale]

Music box yes.

Haha. I totally hear a music box sounding... but I also hear a distant evil place.

Somewhat like a place, that used to be enjoyable, and laughter used to flood the area, but now it's worn out, destroyed, and only haunting memories of a tragic event are left.

Nice job here!

Daniel-M responds:

you fucking nailed what i was going for, great review!

[Dirt Eater Loop]

I'm not a fucker :'C

But that doesn't mean I can't enjoy... Hell yeah! \m/

This was some heavy ass shit. Digging them grungy riffs. The drums are pretty dang flawless, if I do say so myself. and I do. So that means they are.

It looped almost perfectly for me...

Overall. Pretty sweet my good sir.

Rock on.

5/5 9/10

You don't fuck anything?
haha, thanks for the review!! \m/

[Welcome to Rainbow (Intro) RMX]

Hmmm...

This really felt more like a classical mix then a techno mix... I was expecting it to break out in some hardcore sidechaining stuff, but it didn't. I think it's extremely melodic though.

Very well made!

Kreepman responds:

Thanks!

In the actual song (I'm still working on it - thats why it isn't uploaded yet) the part after that breaks out into some hardcore sidechaining stuff xD

This is just the intro :3

EDIT:
It's out now

[[Assios] - Gangsta Rap Beat]

Lol.

I like it. A lot.

I don't have much to say against it because I'm not a big fan of hip hop, thus I don't have much say against or for it, but if it means anything, this was one that I really liked actually.

Nice job. Good instrument choices!

Assios responds:

Thaanks! :D

[[Assios] - Hexagon]

:D :D

Okay.

It's got it's moments, but I think you could do far better and really make it a piece of incredible work...

There needs to be bass through most of the song. It wasn't there, and that bothered me.

The transitions were very well done, but you need to work on some of your mastering. The whole song was staticy at times.

The drums were excellent... but I've come to expect that from you.

The song seems to lack at times, and I feel where you have 1 instrument running you should have 2 atleast.

Anyways, enough ranting. This was very good. The melody was absolutely awesome, and this could be so epic!

=Lublub=

Assios responds:

Thanks for the great review ^^

Yeah, I know that it lacks mastering and such, I did this on a crappy computer, and that's the cause of the distortions. I think I'm gonna remake this and make a better version without distortions btw.

Thanks again

[EJ - Rendezvous & Dog Statues]

HRMMM!!!!

I really like your piano melodies. They always seem to flow very well... Especially this one. I liked it mucho much.

The percussion was very... right. It didn't seem too repetitive cause it was in the background mostly, and so it seemed just to flow well enough.

I'm not sure what the synth sound was that came in eventually, but it was very subtle and suiting.

Like mr Pizza said. very ambient, yet very far from it.

I like it good sir. Like it lots :D

Lamplighter responds:

Piano is my forte! (pun intended... you know... pianoforte?) Glad you liked it, it's always nice to hear that about a song after all the crap I make and never show anyone :D

Thoughts about the percussion, I agree. Unless it's a main focus, I'm trying to keep it sort of simple enough to sit there but complex enough not to be a nuisance. Or something like that.

The synth was a quick and very simple Thor thing I whipped up in ten minutes of experimenting, I think it sounds pretty nice :D

Glad you like it sir Caleb!

[Aliens and UFOs]

Interesting?... Kinda...

It's... bouncy...

Sounds very much like a half-life sound track song. Especially the percussion.

The tune was... There. It wasn't much, but it was what it was. Hah.

The percussion got a little... repetitive after a while. Not enough of a change.

The song took a long long while to go much of anywhere, and after it did, it never really had a climax in my opinion.

Overall I really liked it, but I think it could be messed with a bit to make it all the better.

ReFreezed responds:

Well, it is game music after all - it's supposed to be a little repetitive and not have a real climax. Hah.

Half-Life? I didn't see that coming.

It can always be better. ;P

B& lol. You're not banned anymore. :) Anyway, thanks a ton the the review!

[TRI angle of TWO]

This sounds rather amazing...

Wow, seriously. Sounds awesome my good man.

With earbuds it's alot easier to hear...

The transitions were pretty good. The percussion, as always good. The woo woo, in this was very trancing. I liked it...

This is by far best yet.

Awesome job.

ReFreezed responds:

Thanks yo!

Headphones certainly makes everything easier to hear, though I'm mostly trying to optimize the sound for normal speakers.

Woo woo!

And there's more to come. Next up: saw.

Thanks again!

Wooo!
