JD14's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sonic Advance - Angel Island]

At first I didnt recognize...

Wow this brings back so many good memories! I loved this game so much, I feel so sad that I lost it T.T dude you did great justice to this song. I would have given a 9 because some of the instruments are drowned out and some just too low, but I love what else you've done... 5/5 10/10 Fav'd Downloaded :D

PaulyBFromDa303 responds:

^.^ thnx yo. Of course you could just get the game again, if you can't find it in any used games store, theres always internet shopping. If not that, I might be able to help you out ^.^

[OMG! Max 300!]

Well...

The "yaaaay" was REALLY annoying. The other voices were quite annoying when you messed with them. That buzzing noise kinda sounded like a bee to me. But otherwise it was.. Pretty good I guess.

SonicJ responds:

:|
You killed it. J/k
Anywhoo thanks for the review.
Although, I don't see the problem with the vocals, since they are supposed to sound like that I.i

[WTFUCK]

Umm... Okay...?

It doesnt start at 17. It starts at 27.
I cant even understand what the hell you are saying. The vocals are insanely drowned out, and sound like a dying animal. The guitars and drums are also pretty quiet. It gets really annoying and its quite repetitive. I could only suggest to use something better to record your songs.

simtox responds:

Well, thanks for listening.
with the vocals, I know they don't sound that great, but I did feel like dying when I wrote them so I'm glad that came across! Also the guitar and drum levels are really good, so you need better speakers!
thnx

[Evil-Dog - The Last Stand]

Wow, man.

Okay first to start off, I noticed none of these reviews help you.. At all.
Theyre quite useless, and I plan to make mine stand out from the others.
Here goes:
I personally... LOVED this track. The main part of it was phenominal, you had one of the best ideas ever when you made this song.
The chorus was really well placed. The song stayed on beat throughout the whole song, and theres not much, or very little repetitiveness. The buildup and ending were great, I liked the fading effect, and how you took one instrument out one at a time. The Bass was a really good touch. The instrument choice period was... Perfect. The guitars sounded insanely real. I like the choice of how many you used, two was perfect for this. The violins sounded great in the background, and thats pretty much all I have to say. I couldn't find anything wrong with this. OH, one last thing, the reverse symbols = Perfect. It made the piece sound 10 times better.
I wonder sitting here in my seat how you came up with this song.
This is going in my favs list. 1st place. This deserves the top 5 of the week. And if it doesnt make #1 then NG doesnt know what theyre doing. I downloaded too. This is definately going into my MP3 Player. Seriously, you're like Goukisan only like with different guitars... And slower songs. 5/5 10/10 Fav'd Dl'd And guess what?
You're in my fav artists.

Evil-Dog responds:

I can't say this review helps me more than any other haha you only said good things :) so basicly I should keep making the same kind of stuff eh? hehehe
thanks for the long and kind review!
Cheers

[Flood Warning]

Sounds like rain.

I loved the sounds. The muffled sound in the beginning made it sound like a rainy day, and the echoing reminded me of raindrops falling off of leaves, the whole thing sounds like rain. I loved the higher-pitched noises that were also echoed that came in. Nice transitioning, and I just loved it overall. 10/10 5/5 fav'd DL'ed

EvilStereo responds:

Thanks!! Glad you could see what I was going for. :D

[Adapt to the Horde (vocals)]

I loved the original too!

WOW! This made it so much better dude! I loved the original, and I had heard you were making a second one with vocals... Only complaint I have is that the vocals kinda get drowned out, otherwise PWNSOME man.

TwilightNecrosis responds:

Thanks!
Yeah, I fucking love this song, the riffs flow, the clean parts fit perfectly...I was really nervous to try to put vox on something that was already so good.
I noticed that they were a bit low in the mix after I'd already mixed it down, but it was too late to fix it, so I left it be.
Thanks again for the review, I appreciate it.
Metal forever!

[The Decisive Battle - FFVI]

Sounds like a MIDI...

Its good, especially since you got the notes all by yourself without using a MIDI as a base... Maybe you could try making the sounds different, making it sound more pleasant. Just a tip, people hate songs that sound like MIDIs... I would have given a 5 to a 5.5, but I raised it because this is made from scratch.

SuperFlonic responds:

Hmm, well I DID use only sounds from FL studio. Somehow they sound like MIDI, now you mention it. But this isn't a MIDI, I can assure you :) Can't upload MIDI's to NG, now can you.

But it's probably because of FL's Keys, they just sound like this. I guess I just have to find different drum kits and a different piano.

[~BH~ The Rain Never Stops]

Wow...

I loved this song...
I love rain a lot, so it meant much to me.
I thought the instruments you used were a perfect choice, it sounds so amazing.
The echo effects made it much better than it would have been without them, the piano reminded me of dripping water, or pouring rain, the bells and tamborines (or what ever they were) made it sound way better. The effects were stunning, I really liked them most of all.
I mostly liked this piece because it sounds like its "whole" if you know what I mean, its got every aspect it should have for a good song like this. 10/10 5/5 Fav'd, Dl'd.

ErikMcClure responds:

Thanks for the great review! I'm glad you liked the song :3

[Forever Gamer]

Dude Im sorry

Im sorry.. So sorry...
I cant believe..
That...
I NEVER REVIEWED THIS SONG!!!
I heard it on the top 5, but I never got around to reviewing it.
Like DJ Derrick said, this totally reminds me of Eiffel 65 aswell :D
I thought that a while ago but now I sound all nooby saying this lol.
I loved the effect you put on the voice. And the subtle voices before the louder voices. Instruments=the pwn.
Good tempo for the song.
I also liked how you sang it lol, made it sound 10x better x]
10/10 5/5 Fav'd

SkyMarshall responds:

Haha, again with the goddamn Eiffel 65 :P But I understand the comparison man, I do. And I appreciate the 10, the review and the kind words here for sure. Thanks a lot man =) <3

[Sludge Sunshine]

Nice, nice

Hey, its good. But if you make a newer version, change the background guitars to drums, or a different instrument. The guitar thing is good... Until about halfway. Otherwise, its good. :D 9/10 but I think it should really be a 4 rating, because I know you can do way better x]

G0rd0 responds:

thanks for the review :D

I was thinking about redoing it and throwing some drums in to spice it up, and change the background guitar to a slap-bass.

thanks again :D
G0rd0 out.
