JD14's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[HUZZAH (Cave Story Remix)]

Oh my god.

FUCK IT. You are my all time favorite artist here on NewGrounds.
Mixing fucking 8-Bit with metal.. Oh Jesus I can't think of words to describe how awesome this is :P
YOU WIN THE INTERNET. GRATS o3o;;

rtnario responds:

So this is your third review I'm responding to, and I get an internet, kthx. XD

This was actually one of my older works, but that doesn't mean I can't do more of them in this style. Thanks so much yet again, I hope my future songs are gonna be just as awesome. :)

[Garden Of Moonlight]

Fucking Pro

Dude you're awesome. Not just an awesome audio artist--an awesome guy. You remind me of my best friend =P
...He's just, not as talented as you are.
I never thought I'd hear such beautiful classical..
No scratch that, such beautiful ANYTHING on NewGrounds, ever. You're professional, man.

rtnario responds:

You must have a very imaginative way of listening to music man...if you get reminded of your best friend just through this melody :)

Thanks for the kind words! Makes me look forward to my own future if everything goes well. :)

[YuYu Metal]

As If It Could Get Better..

Dude.
No fucking way.
This is too good. Way too good. You can't be here on NewGrounds--You should be a fucking rock legend. This is amazing. I have never heard better metal here on NewGrounds--and trust me--I've heard a LOT of NG metal. Where have your songs been all my life ;_;
Oh and, if you respond to this, can you tell me if the drums are by a drum machine or by a real player? Because they're sick either way.

rtnario responds:

...but there's a lot of awesome(er) metal here on NG! I just do my best to be part of that. :) And yeah, actually I'm trying to look for more ways to be recognized, so I'll just keep working on new material and finding places like this Audio Portal where I can share my compositions.

Just so you know, I respond to all my reviews since it gives the reviewer my acknowledgment of taking time to read the review. :) And the answer is -- yes and no. The drums are free samples given by my (forever) favorite band, Machinae Supremacy. So in most all of my songs, the "drummer" from Machinae Supremacy performs. :)

Thanks so much (again) for the review!

[-KK- Bleach - Asterisk RMX]

Get some plugins man :U

Slayer kills the ears, and when I first heard this I really liked it minus the slayer. Now that I've used FL Studio a whooole lot, it all seems the same to me. It's boring because I hear all these sounds all day when I make my songs. You should use more effects on different channels in the mixer, too, but seeing as this is old and it's good even then, I'm giving you an 8 and a 5/5 so that you may just one day re-do this.. And I look forward to that.

KumoKan responds:

haha believe it or not, i didn't use slayer at all. this was the second song i ever made on FL Studio and it's all pretty much Sytrus.

I've always wanted to re-do this. Maybe I'll do it soon.

[Summer Ocean (EP2 cut)]

Sexy

Hot damn why am I even reviewing, you and I both know that you know what you're doing so let's leave it at that.
It's fucking perfect :3

Kr1z responds:

Lolz thx x-D

["The Middle of an Acre V2"]

Excellent!

The buildup was kind of a bit too long; I was worried that it would end up being that same thing over and over, but I was in for quite the surprise. This is quite the amazing song and I don't think it got boring at all. It's barely repetitive; the melody is amazing.. I just love it :D

XayberOptix responds:

I'm glad you enjoyed. I will make the next version "not take so long to build up."

[RMX - RuneScape - Baroque]

The main instrument

The main instrument is just too loud, and too simple. Maybe a bit more realistic of an instrument would make this song perfect. Trust me here, this song would be perfect if you just changed that to something more realstic. Better yet, slowly change it throughout the song, to the more realistic instrument. =P
I liked it.

Krizy responds:

Oh, uhh... Thank you. :3
Like I said in the last two reviews, I know what's bad about this song...
It's because I made this long time ago,
I didn't have a lot of instruments to choose from etc...
The only thing I could do is to update it! but, that would be waste of time
because it won't get through the audio portal and stuff, hehe =P
Glad you liked it tho.

[Ice Cream Man!]

Just one problem.

The lyrics.. You have too many and's in there. I know it's a short review--but that's the only thing I can offer. Sorry =P 5/5

giftedbuttwisted responds:

Four?

[My Mechanical Nightmares WIP]

Fucking awesome

I'm so glad you left that review. This is awesome. I don't know how it could be better. I would love to add in some feedback but I have no idea about the full aspects of the industrial genre. What I can tell you, is the panning is awesome, and everything else just fits right in place.

aloneagainfriend responds:

thanks dude... That #50 for this track... It's not true industrial... just influanced by it..

[Mozzak - Dramatic]

Sadly repetitive.

I dislike how it gets repetitive in the middle. You need to change up the main melody just a tiny bit in some parts; the beat also gets repetitive after a while.
At around 2:20, I thought it was a bit too late for the piano to stop at that point. That part also gets a bit repetitive, and the fadeout isn't as professional as I thought you would have ended this song. Either way, it's good, it just.. Can be better.

Mozzak responds:

I have a problem when making songs.When I figure one melody out,it bounces in my head a thousand of times so I can't put another melody in the song XD.
It sucks.
Thanks for the review anyway =)
