Brotos's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Fade]

I'm sorry to be blunt

The vocals need some work done...
I know you're working on it though...

I love the general song though, however, the vocals somehow ruined it for me.

Setu-Firestorm responds:

There's no problem with being blunt.

When I listen back to the song, I feel that one reason the vocals sounded not-too-good was because I sang at a lower octave than one would expect for a song in D. And when I sang in that octave, I wasn't doing the correct throat exercise to project the right sound.

That's probably (my speculation, anyway) why the vocals sounded that way.

soothing

I don't know what the other reviewers were talking about. I believe this is because they don't quite understand non upbeat music. Of course there's not going to much happening. It's not made to give a heart attack or keep changing...it's to sooth and calm oneself.

I believe the general idea of your ambient song was good, and there was that soothing feeling to it.

Here is some advice I have to improve it.
1) It sounds good, but needs more variation
2) even with variation don't forget to go back to the main sequence
3) the title of the song may need some changing

Hope this helped.

Oh trust me it will change =]

[XS Epiphany]

Excellent work

Excellent work. I just want to go to a club and jump around now.

I would change the genre for this though.

This is indeed upbeat and makes my heart try to beat out of my chest cavity because it is so pumped!

However, it isn't something that I would dance to because of certain parts to it.

This song has fluctuations on the emotional aspect of it, so I believe it would fit in trance.

XtremeSounds responds:

thanks for the review. i think you might be right to be honest, i wasnt sure what category to put it in.

[MH16: Low]

decent work

Good job on this piece.

yet...I have a few things to say.

I didn't really see the connection between the title and the song...
I would switch the song name to something else.

Also, it needs to be more upbeat to be dance music...you can't really dance to it as of now...

but I bet you could imporve on this!

FairSquare responds:

i changed the title :P
Also, i suck at making tracks better. Once i finished a song i don't really like to go back and work on it again, so i'll let this song for what it is.
I'll probably delete this song within a week or so, because i don't really like it myself.
You should take a look at my previous song. It's way better :P

Pump it up!

Excellent usage of voice to introduce a rising in the energy.
This a really brilliant piece of work, it really gets me pumped up.

Here is just one thing I noticed.
at such places as :47 an :56 there are some awkward short breaks sounding like you restarted a loop of a certain beat/sound sequence.

They are subtle, not noticeable to a non trained ear. But as someone like yourself I think you have noticed that...as of now the song is great, but maybe you could make a little more smoot.

Mike52118 responds:

Thanks for your info! yes i noticed the loops, unfortunately, with the program i have at the moment there is nothing i can do to change this.
