RyeGuyHead's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Redslash - Blaming Myself]

I wouldn't say it sucks

But it could use some obvious improovements. I mean I liked the drums and dirty bass sound, but the dealy synth and the strings were sooooo unoriginal. Yeah, it aint bad, but its not quite up to par....

NGAudioArtists responds:

thx for your opinion

the only thing i can really say is that well i didn't exactly submit my music to win

i just submitted it so people can hear it and if they like it to go ahead and listen to it

[General_Leo - Darkness]

you know...

your style of composition is very similar to some of my earlier stuff, and i find that hard to imagine and somewhat discouraging, as i thought i was entirely original. Whatever....

The artistic choices you made in this song were all correct, all I can say is there will be a time when you realize that you dont want the same pattern to repeat throughout the whole song, that day, my friend, you will become a man

I sort of wish you did more with the 16th notes on the bassline, they sounded pretty nice working with the kicks. Maestro mentioned something about the "guitar" part, but i thought it sounded fine, I would change the strings at that point though, to give it some major boosts in diversity.At the end of the end of the 4th measure on the bass pattern, the song sounds too exposed, you might be bale to do something with that.

I predict you evolving well, i will check about later....stick to originals and create your own sound

LoneEagle responds:

Alright thanks alot for this awesome review!

Hey you are entirely original too you know that "tribe among us" song is unique and kicks ass. I've listened to some other songs from you but i didn't take the time to review, which i will be doing shortly.

I will force myself to learn not to do this 1 pattern throughout the whole song thing again. I who hates repetitiveness should know better :D

Yea Maestro mentioned the guitars as too "resoning". It's just a matter of taste.

When i began on fruity loops, i made some crappy songs and then i made a whole bunch of video game remixes. And my friend told me the same thing : stop the VG music and make your own stuff. And that's what i'm going to do.

I had the Fire Field track from the snes F-Zero game underway, and i have this song that's been stuck in my mind for like 2 weeks and i can't find any ways to put it in FL Studio :( It's stuck in my mind and won't get out.

Thanks again for the feedback.

[I see the Light]

Emotive....i like

The repetetiveness has already been gone over, but it is a major flaw. The drums and bass werent powerful enough for me, the piano harp and strings created an awesome mood, but the drums and bass took away some of it. I would have put the bass in later as well, the instruments didnt have time to develop. The srums kicks could have been sick as hell, working with the hi-hats. This song needs some more swagger, but i like it nonetheless

And horray for you for beign original

LoneEagle responds:

Yeah, i could have sick kicks and stuff, but i'm not there yet. When i used to make my songs in the past (before submitting here to NG), i used to put so much stuff that nothing was hearable. So now i'm keeping it simple, or at least i try to.

Especially for a song like this. What i wanted is for the melody to get heard as much possible and have the beat give a good constant rhythm.

I will also try to work on that repetitiveness in my upcoming music.
Thanks for the review.

[Drifting in Space-Solus]

Congrtulations......bastard

As I anxiously await my turn, that will probably never come, I suppose I will review this. The first part was a good intro. After the piano cut off it really lost itas power though. Adding more instruments to the part that followed, like some kick-ass panning, fading, phasing synths and a bassline that matched the synth you included. With those add-ons the song could have built on itself methinks. But yeah, now I'm just going to scratch my head and wonder....what if, what if the audio gods gave a rat's ass about me?

Once again, congratulations

SolusLunes responds:

You will get a front page, just wait for it. Don't rush it. ANYWHO... all those things needing fixing? Maybe I'll get to it, probably not.

And thank ye! :D

[*Bell**Ringer*[DEMO]]

I sure wish

all my old bad songs like this got gold records.
Who are you trying to kid, its not good really. I mean sure the beat is sort of dark and hip hopish. But besides that the song doesnt go anywhere or acomplish anything. The only other part you wrote besides the drums doesnt even go with the monotonous bells. Sure, just dl your song 500 more times, so close
(10 for all the dling you did)

Apple-Eater responds:

funny u say that when your music is not tha good wiether i give u credet u have about 4 good songs but the rest arnt that good and i didint dl this dong 500 time that woud take like 5 hours u ass

[Neutron Web]

I step up to the challenge

of telling what you did wrong. It is drum and bass, so that puts me at a disadvantage in critisizing you, but I will try my hardest.

For starters the build of the song was very basic, 8 measures of one pattern, then another one is introduced, then so on and so on. You did add fills which is a plus though. The drums sounded nice in all honesty, they were complex but still maintained a beat that was audible and not annoying. The bass might have been the fatal flaw in this song. It doesnt have the listen catchyness required to be played over and over again. The tempo change was nice, but you should have done more with the voices especially in the second part.

Better than what I could have done in this genre. Deserves more than a 2, how bout a 4
(song was a little long)

DarthPejka responds:

Yay, thanks.
Well, the bass, yeah, I need to work on that. I won't re-upload this song though, that's not my style. But I'll try to make future songs of mine more... sophisticated. In case I'll finish these other d&b songs, since there's about 3 other ones, but only a base for them.
So thanks again,
Darth Pejka

[_Oro_ - Final Sustinence]

you sure do get dls fast

mischiveously fast. The song is good i guess, although im not a big fan of remixes, they can only be but so hard. I cant really critique a remix either, oh well, you did good

Oro responds:

Yeah I just woke up and checked it and double took it kinda. Didn't really expect that to happen. Somebody was probably bored :/

[DarkA - Playing with keys.]

this song is similar to my style

so yeah, i thought it was good. But the beginning piano got really old quickly. The hi hats you used didnt really go with the song, they sounded more like disco.....? It was good for the first like minute and a half, but like i said, sort of went downhill. The interlude should have come earlier, and i would have dropped the piano, because the fluteish thing can barely be heard. It builded nicely though.
Keep at it

DJdarkangel responds:

Hi,
10x for the review

Hmm... i always thought that the hats went well with the song, but i might work on it.
Although like i said i did this a long time ago and i have forgotten the idea of it, you know this song came with emotions and if i re-make it i doubt that it will sound good i would probably ruin it.

Nonetheless if i get the muse for it i'll take you pointers and make a new version. :)

10x again

DarkAngel out...

[Gettin Funkay]

Hahahahahahaha

your profile picture makes me laugh
thats all i really have to say

Trice-C responds:

yeh lol sos bout that m8

[Psychopath]

youre gay

because you dledyour sng 1000 times
This song isnt bad, but I mean come on, wha were you thinking.
The main synth was pretty sweet, and he begining ambient wind pad was a good lead....into nothing. The bass should have been 1000 times more booming, then turn donwn the volume on the guitars and make them more crisp and you have a half-way decent song.

You should b thankful I didnt just flame this review

bogman247 responds:

I am being COMPLETELY honest, I didnt even download this song even once, if I wanted to do that, I would have downloaded one of my better songs. I really wouldnt waste my time doing something like that. You're going to have to face the fact that people have different tastes in music than you, so grow up and go home.
P.S I didnt even know that downloading a song 1000 times got it a platinum, I thought it was up to the administrator.
