chubby-chobby's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Light guitar]

something sounds

strange about the guitar... i can't put my figner on it, are you in the right key? Maybe its just i'm used to a phrase starting on the root?
I don't know. I like the feel of this song, but it just feels a bit off. And theres too many logn melodic gaps. Filling more of these with guitar melody like you begin withwould be great.
teh strumming osunds a little off as well, are they the right chord choices, they just don't quite sound right...
There some really nice phrase choices in here, you've obviously got an ear for what yu want to make, it just needs a bit of refining.
Good luck in the future, sorry if my review felt a little vague , i do like the song, it just has a few places that bug me, which really pull it down. Keep up the stuff though, its got potential to be great.

Shroomguy responds:

Ah, thank you for the response. I am still improving this song, as it is one of my favorites. I have improved a lot since i first made this, and I will be updateing it in the near future. Thank you for your constructive critisim, and I hope you review more of my audio!

[Experementation solo]

has a very 'sonic-esque' feel

Overall i thought it was good, would work better slightly shorter and as a loop i feel though.
And it was also anti-climatic at 0:43, overall very good, and i loved the first quick scalic run after that. Keep it up!

nintendork64 responds:

I tend not to be good at ending songs. I kinda wrapped this one up fast, I guess. Thanks.

[Earth's Tear (modern 8bit)]

i really like the melody

the song doeesn't seem to fit with it completely when all the parts come together though (0:26). Having a rethink of what you have happening underneath would benefit it in my eyes, but that may just be me. Keep up the work!
And to the guy below you shouldn't review/vote low if its not your kind of music and your going to vote low on those terms.

Bunnymajs responds:

Thanks for the Feedback, and i'll think about it and try some things out :D

[Move That! (modern 8bit)]

nice

but the start sounds a bit random, it has some funny times where it changes chord and makes a clash.
After the guy speaks the timing is much better. Also it's slightly long and becomes repetitive. It's very good if it actually is your first try though. keep up the work. And think about adding in some harmonies for the melody. Good luck in the future, this sounded nice, you could make some real good stuff if you keep trying.

Bunnymajs responds:

Thanks, always apriciated when ppl take their time to speak their minds :)

[3 seconds left (WIP)]

mmm i quite like this as well

looking forward to the longer finished piece.
And just a standard on the beat bass playing the root should sound lovely.
Make sure you get one that compliments the lovely feel this has already, so is not too strong or too weak. Keep it up mate!

thedude9 responds:

thanks!

[MEH !@# (fixed the dududududu)]

hmmm

I felt this sound was trying to be calm or ambient but the synths were obtrusive, and the drums would work better as bongo for this feel.
If its not, it needs more development, a melody to go on top maybe? It has potential, but it feels too 'inbetween' these two styles for my liking, good try though.

hanorotu responds:

I will try to do what you suggested with the melody on top and the drums! Thanks for the positive review.

[Explicit Hardcore]

hmm

its okay
I felt the synths you chose had no real power to them
The composition itself is fine, but the synths leave it sounding vastly underpowerful.

ONESTEPAHEAD responds:

I VALUE YOUR OPION BUT I THOUGHT MY SYNTH WERE VERY POWERFULL, BUT IM GLAD YOU LEFT A RESPONSE

[DXM - Finding JS Vol I]

15 minutes?

no way... that seems way too short.
I love the mood this sets, uncomfortable, yet relaxing, nothing too overpowering, yet listenable as a song, very well balanced.
I do really like this, and as far as what it's trying to acheive i think its close enough to perfect.
Erm, I'll try and put something to improve on, just so this review isn't just a waste of time.
I guess my only thing to say is to try and elicit a certain emotion in your music, rather than just having a song, make it tell a story (as cheesey and ridiculous as it sounds). Thanks for submitting, i really enjoyed this.

tijnn responds:

Haha i normally do that, but this was sériously just random noises i made in a certain tone with my guitar, if you listen to my other ambient you can get the idea you were asking for.

Thanks for the review though! i'm astonished this is not getting 0'd by noise-haters right away, but yeah, really, thanks for letting me know what you think of it!

BTW: About the 15 minutes, i made it in fruity loops in 15 minutes, but i recorded an hour of random noises with the guitar a few days back, which i used here, so it's not totally true. ;)

[Insane for Her]

ooooh

I really like the high harmonising 'beep' sound.
the melody voice was weaker in the softer part, i felt it didn't have enough clarity in that part to carry the melody if that makes sense, i felt the notes needed to be more definate, ratehr than blending a bit.
And i really am not keen on fade outs, but it sounded especially forced in this as the song didn't feel ready to finish in my eyes.
So my main criticism is that the song feels like it has more to give and should be longer, otherwise a very solid and listenable song. Well done.

sumguy720 responds:

Yeah I agree. I forced the ending quite intensely and I'll definitely go back to it sometime and put something a little more decent in there. I was surprised at how it came together. I just listened to each part and kind of wrote what sounded like should be there, the beep sound really was a stroke of pure luck, and I'm glad you like it. As far as the melody voice int eh softer part-- I don't see exactly what you mean, but I can see where the melody might get a little lost in the middle-- so I'll work on that too.
Thanks for the review! Much obliged.

[Penguin Collision]

mmm

This isn't bad, i think the bass and kick drum are just the right powerfulness.
The song is good, i liked the 'through a telephone' (To put it as the reviewer below did) sound at the start it gave it a real sense of power when it really came in.
The melody voice really was a lovely choice.
Something holds me back from rating this a 9 or 10 though. I just feel like somewhere, it 's missing something. I just can't put my figner on it, i'll relisten again sometime and PM you if it hits me.
Keep up the good work!

SigmaSpore responds:

lol actually a through the telephone is the perfect way to describe it, thats the EQ preset that i used, telephone xD

i actually think the kicks should be more powerful but thats just me

im happy with 8's

thx for review peace out
