RyeGuyHead's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[R-VeeBee - 100 Percent]

Very cool

So original. I especially liked the intro voice thing, how you manipulated the filter so it dropped out. Then the song builds. But it doesnt really go anywhere. The melody stays the same, and the drums dont really bring much variation.

Its a sweet track though, nicely mastered (more bass), great flow, and its definatly replayable.

Good job

R-VeeBee responds:

Thanks!

Yeah you're right about the thing don't going anywhere. It's a bit repetitive. Ah well.

Thanks again =)

[SR - Pico's Battle]

Most definatly

Loops a hell of alot better than my battle loop.

Freaking crazy lead bass dude, its so grainy and crisp, and crunchy....
Had a little fun with envelopes there at the end didnt you? Would have liked to see them used more frequently throughout the entire track though.

I think a choir would very much fit the track, could be because you have a malstrom with a vox sample on it already...you should bring it out more if that is the case.

The drums are pretty basic but they fit and the fills connect the song good enough.

Good quality loop Sinerider, check out my Pico loop if you get the time :)

SineRider responds:

Thanks man. I'll think abotu your comments next time I attempt DnB or something of that sort.

I'll check yours out now :)

[==(Watching The World Fly]

Very minimal

But ambient. So its the way it should be. You could have thrown in another movement about two minutes in or something by switching up the bell pattern but there was still alot of variation.

One of the hi hats was a little sharp, could have been turned down a little. The pahsed out drums were cool. If you make a pahsed hi-hat play constant flammed out notes on redrum you get a sweet effect that would fit perfectly into this. It would just connect everything nicer methinks.

The crash comes out of nowhere and it picks up again, brilliant!

Nice simple piece SBB

[Rucklo - Hopeless Redemption]

Graceful? NO, Majestic

The bell was alittle loud in the beginning.

If you would have let the pade hold out longer in the beginning it probably would have been able to build even more.

I imagine a little leprachaun playing the flute when the melody first comes in....

When it gets orchestrated with sick snare rolls and horn accompianment it sounds much more artful. Im still after his lucky charms

I just got an orchestration refill so hopefully ill have some stuff like this out soon too =)

Rucklo responds:

haha, thanx man :)

[Air Container]

This one was you best

Diversity and good mixing.

Still repetetive and sometimes annoying, but it was worth the listening to. Should be #1 song from you this week.

Bit I would DEFINATLY NOT say #1 song overall

[Valhalla Piece]

Valhalla?

We were thinking about naming our band that.

I thought the whole point of a lopp was to exclude an intro, and ite everything together at the end, so the listener knows not when the song starts and ends.

Anyways, i could care less about that.
The drum beat was nice, but could use some more hi hat, and some banging snare. There was a lot of diversity in this song, and it definatly has some replay value.

Work on your overall sound layout, and i think that you will start getting somer ecognition.
This is your first submission though, so good job!!

Check out my entry when i submit in the next couple days

[anomalous archetectur]

yessir

The glitch drums were overpowering at points,

Very unique stlye once more. Beats and pads are all over the place, fading in and out with your use of the controllers. Lacks the structure of a song, more like an outburst of feeling.

I liked the guitar sample/synth lead transition. Made it new and interesting, then you went off again, yea im lost now.

This is too crazy

[Robot Army--_--(1:45)]

which song?

Only about 9 pages too look through to find it....

Started very clean, no hesitation efore breakign into the heavy stuff. The bass needs to be turned up a lot on the low shelf, its just distorted and not packing as much punch as it could.
Though the crash symbols sound very nice with the graininess of the bass.

Its pretty kick ass otherwise

[{Hollow Man} Preview]

Sick build up

The opening pad needs to be compressed, it peaks too loud. Crazy ass effects leading into the bass part, its all centered in the middle though. Panning them from side to side would have made this more complete, but your still working on this, so doesnt matter.

The melody was alittle weak at the end. Maybe descending the pattern from the highest note would make it sound better. It would be more diverse at least. But i dunno, you seem to know what your trying to create

so good job

[12-bar Glitch]

:ooooo:<:>:<:>aahhhhh:<:>:<:>

Loops and all.

Beat is very laid back and glitchy all at the same time. I get tired of glitch beats that cause my head to explode, this was a welcome change. Tons of variation in your drums fills, and the panning is all over the place.

The chord progression was so jazzy and funky. I wanted some crazy sax solo to come in. Come to think of it that moog bass, does sound oftly similar to a baritone sax....

Me likes

(care to check out my latest two submissions?)
Dont feel obligated or anything

attemptedperfection responds:

Thanks for the reivew!
This one actually started out as just a drum track to put behind the acapella 1st track off the new "Love" Beatles compilation. It sounded really good too, but I then realized that it would probably be a little illegal to submit it to Newgrounds, so I decided to evolve the drums some more and added on a bluesy/jazzy chord progression, melody and such, and made it into an original loop instead of a remix.
*drum fill & cymbal crash*
"Fascinating!"

At any rate, I'll get around to reviewing your stuff soon as I can. Thanks again for the review!
