LLAAPPSSEE's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Wasteland Groove]

Oh maaaaaan

This is totally badass. Really loving this grove. Love those drums; those keys; Those synths that just now came in. Oh maaaaan. What are you using for synth?

Had to check this out too - i've been playing Fallout 3 for the last week like non-stop.

Awesome combination of instrumentation. Everything flows damned good.

Peptotrippin responds:

VATS is badass!
Thanks for the review!

[Maybe Maybe Not]

Awesome

I really dig this. I love the sound you've got on your glitches, the whole atmosphere and everything. The little noises in the deep pads. The way you glitch out some of your drums (mainly at the beginning when the drums first came in) reminds me of a band called "Boom Boom Satellites" (who i really dig). So very cool. When the keys came in i was digging it more, i liked the melody you had with them, very nice. the quick notes are great. It all sounds wonderful. My only problem is some of the pad create a lot of reverb (When those lovely keys come in) and wash out a bit of the sounds. I think a if you toned it down a bit it would sound even greater! Then again, with all the reverb and bass it creates a pretty nice space. I just wonder if the drums would come out a bit more and such. Maybe even widen up the pads or something..either or not bad at all as it is though, very pleasant track, definitely enjoyed ! !

John-Gaden responds:

Thanks a lot. It's great to get some positive reviews from really talented musicians like yourself.

One of my poor habits is while creating a big spacey wall of sound I tend to over do it and a lot of things get buried. It's something I'm working on and as my mastering skills improve I should slowly grow out of it.

Damn..

Not much of a trance listener, but damn. This is hot stuff. That bass is just killer. I WANT THAT KICK DRUM NAOW, MOAR! Haha.

Very cool, i'm really glad there's no euro-synth throughout the entirety of the track. heh heh heh. When the keys came in. I was all about. The mastering is great, everything is very clear and sounds great to the ears. I really liked the changes. Kept things interesting. Not just a four on the floor track. Which i appreciate. I wouldnt expect less from you though : P

Will have to go check out Nish's version as well. Very cool man. Can tell you put some time and effort into this.

Rawrthaas responds:

Thanks :D

I think you're the first to ever compliment my mastering haha :P

[(NUBLX)ChipBrittlePreview]

you're a tease..you bastard!

Niiiiiice man, that heavy bass in there is just great. I've been doing a lot of work lately trying to get really good bass atmosphere, it really adds another element to tracks. It really does. This is just great. I want to hear the whole thing! : (

And just for being a tease your only getting a 9 : P

XD

Mwha-hahaha!

nubbinownz responds:

OH NOES! Aloysius :( lol i get it! It'll be coming out on myspace, unfortunately I can't make any of my new tracks downloadable :(

[Skybridge]

Nice

Finally someone in this fucking place who actually take the time to put a little bit of god damn reverb, atmosphere, space, velocity.,.blah blah blah into their piano stuff. Also, i liked the very small bits you have in there..the very light percussion, i really thought that was a fantastic touch, just very light, a small barely audible pulse to drive, i might even almost turn up the hats just a bit more.. The composition of the piano, and the playing, and arrangement was great. The fact that you looped it was even more cool.

the change at :59 i think was the best..i liked that.

Glaiel-Gamer responds:

Thanks, wait till you see how I used this song in the game it's for. It blows minds and just a flat recording of the song doesn't do it justice.

[(NUB)TheseMistakesAreForever]

Fantastic man

The production on this track has got to be the best i've heard by you so far. There's a bunch of fantastic rhythms you float through. As always the melody is beautiful. Such an emotional track. At least, i feel it. The very first glitches in the song were just fantastic and thats one thing i did want more of : P

As always - Beautiful job - love the changes - just great. You really add variation from the other tracks. Top notch glitches too.

D

nubbinownz responds:

Thanks man I really appreciate it. I need some new aloysious rexford. BRING IT OUT MAN!

[(NUB)CockBlock Fatality-60%]

Ah maaaaan..

Nice man. That really sucks. I've had that happen to me on a few occasions. Its the worst. Generally you can never go back and try to rework it. Eventually the melodies become reworked over time and you use it for something else (hopefully).

a 10 for your loss : P

not out of pity XD

nubbinownz responds:

baahh yeah it hurts man lol thank you for the 10 ! ;D

[momentary relapse]

Not so bad

I like it. Its a bit repetitive, but the song is only 2 and a half minutes so its not too horrible. I think you could've thrown in just a bit more variation with the percussive elements. At 1:32 the song gets a bit more intense with the glitchy bits. I think this song would've been really cool if you made it climax with some intense breakcore glitches and have it end on that note, just a nice slow build. I like ambient music like that. That just me though. I like the ambient pads in the background and would've liked to hear some more sounds swirling around in this composition. This has potential to be really really good. Could make it a bit longer and throw in some more variation and you've got yourself something!

Cool stuff : D

snayk responds:

I see what you're saying. I feel a little bit like I may have taken the easy route at some point with this song.

Thanks for the review!

Dig

Nice production on this. Very cool. I really like the beat. The hats have this odd faltering urgency to them. Just a pleasant song with a good amount of change for its ambient nature and just the right length. 2:14 to 2:25 was just fantastic.

good stuff.

Rawrthaas responds:

Heya, thanks. Appreciate the 10 :D

[Kingdom Of Fire (remix)]

Hey-oh

The guitars and all that were great. I dont know about the vocals. Should work on mastering them a different way or adding a different effect to them? They seem to stand out in a weird way.

Either or, love the guitars and the samples. : D

TwilightNecrosis responds:

Hey there!
Yeah, I've gotten better at effecting vocals since I recorded this.
This was just to give you an example of my guitar work.
What samples, by the way?
