Hey, that's my name! :D

And I'm honored. ;3
I used to be a huge metal head. This is that kind of industrial that's a fusion of metal and electronic :U, rather than the more common sort of "entirely-electronic" kind. This song definitely has a shitload of potential on this site, mhm. :3 I wish I knew more about metal, I guess I could give you a lot more pointers on it. Although, I must note, the buildup was.. Odd.. To me. I don't know if it was a good or bad odd, but it was odd. Then again, this is industrial, right? :P

"Tell JD14 what you think of his review!" thanks, newgrounds, now i feel like i should be insulting! like, if you said that sentence in a rough, wrestling announcers voice... sidetracked.

thank you, firstly. I've always loved metal, but i don't often write it just because it's doesn't flow inside my head like the rest of my music does, but this one did :) really, i don't know where my music comes from, but i just try to replicated what i hear in my hear to be honest, i just write what flows out of my brain, each addition is simply what i feel would be the next "right" step...

but thanks for the review :) another wicked-sick industrial band is fear factory ^^ fyi

And soon Nate will end up making House

Because that seems to be the direction in which you're going from the first song you've posted, to this. :3 I'd make a more lengthy review but, it's like... 4 in the morning.. Too tired. :x

:o Mastering

As amazing as the melodies, synths, and percussion is.. Your mastering is a bit bad in this song. (I know it's old haha) Thing is, when you bring in the hats and snares towards the beginning, it mutes out the synth a little, as well as in other parts of the song--you need to fix that. I'm surprised nobody noticed this.

Anyways, as this always has, it's getting a 5 from me. :3 Plus, it's old, you know? ;o

Colon-D

Well, it needs some more mastering work. The piano sounds a bit out of place in the beginning, and the transitioning was okay. I can't see anything else that could be fixed other than some personal choices which some people might disagree with. But, hey, those are just personal choices, right? :P

asdf

Fucking amazed me again bro :P
I don't know what to say. It's just one of those things where you can't say anything bad about it because you have no idea how it was made so well :3
Also, I'm glad you've been making so many songs lately. You never cease to amaze me man.

Rucklo responds:

yay, thanks for the kind words man! ^_______^

Your Problem :P

The only reason this sounds so bad is because instead of using a bass, you used what sounds more like an electric guitar synth. (the instrument it opens up with, and repeats with throughout the song, the dododo, dododo, dododo)
Towards the end, when you kill it off and replace it, that sounds nice, but it's JUST that synth that screws it up. Fix that and this is a really nice Videogame song :3

Colon U

1. That hat is kind of overused, I can kinda overlook that.
2. 9 because it's a WIP
3. 10 because it's sick; and I'll tell you why :3
Most people would never imagine DnB to sound like this, but you pulled it off. That took skill man. I'll save the *rest* of the review for the final product ;D

Rucklo responds:

Aight man, hang on tight - I'll hopefully have time to finish this up during the holidays! :) Thanks for the kind words!

Holy shit man

Words cannot describe what you just put up here. This is batshit insanely fucking sick as it is right now, I almost pissed myself when I saw you submitted a new song. Damnit NUB you're fucking amazing :U
You just know how to mix shit together right, you obviously know exactly what you're doing and I really think that's amazing. One day I wish to be as good as you man =P
Really I see nothing wrong with this at all, just keep it going and you'll hit the top 5 in no time. :3

Synths as opposed to Samples

Well, the sounds and instruments you used overall seem to not flow properly with me. I mean, the bass sounds very moog-esque, but the attack time is a bit too delayed. The synth you brought in at :59 is nice, but then you just cut it off. The song really doesn't go anywhere and seems sporatic. You need to really take all of these little droplets of water and turn them into one big downpour, man.
Nice job, so far, I guess. :3

ghostblairdarkness responds:

Thanks! and yes i see where your going on that. ill pureifie everything from now on =)

Nice man :3

The only issue is that the hat sample is either a bit too loud or just not flowing right with this song for me, I guess :\ I don't know why but I dislike that hat. Also, sick loop, that was really unexpected, this is really nice. :3

Okay fine I love this, jeez >_> :P

nightsurfermusic responds:

:D Thanks!

I enjoy composing music and sometimes remixing songs. I really enjoy anything creative as long as there's someone to share it with :3 MSN: Exothehedgehog@hotma il.com (don't ask, it's old, guys =\)
