TIMarbury's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Eric Freeman - WIP]

WOAHZ

This is really nice bro. The intro is sick... i'm really liking it might need some more panning,delay or reverb on it to work with the drum sequence as it builds around like 1:15 when it comes back into play. first drop very yummy, great use of high and lows there. Second drop wasn't bad dude, i did find it funny, maybe if you want to improve it add more variation to the bass sequence even though i must say that the sequence you set up with it flows well throughout so maybe that won't help it. In terms of mixing i can't really comment on it since i'm listening right now with lower volume and low bass but it seems to be very good. Is this a WIP? if so i'm not sure what you are planning to do to this because i can easily see a little extention and boom it can be a finished piece. Not many flaws right now as i see it.

EricFreeman responds:

(just an FYI to everyone else, TIMarbury pm'd me to tell me he meant to hit 10 and not 6 for the score)

I wanted to keep it simple around 1:15 and not put any crazy effects on it because I wanted the listener to "recover" from the last drop.

And yeah, I probably should have added a little more variation to the second drop, but I made the first part fairly short so I didn't thin it would be a huge problem.

And is this a WIP? Eh, I don't know. I submitted another version of this song that was a WIP, but I liked the name, so I guess I'm going to stick with calling it WIP unless I can think of something better, haha.

Thanks for listening and reviewing (and following up with the PM, heh)!

LOL SCREW THE GUY WHO SAID HEAVIER

Agree with TheBiocide. the whole song has a feel to it that runs throughout and really makes it awesome and not just some heavy drop dubstep song. But the whole driving beat and melody is what really makes this track different and sick. percs r great i think they are key to how good this tune is. Also the theme of the sawy sounding elements. good stuff. liking your stuff and style.

Or4nges responds:

Hahaha, Glad i've got supporters in this. I'll try to get more dubstep songs like this out. Yes maybe heavier, but also maybe lighter at the same time. I'm trying to find my little niche in the genre :P

[- Only Sometimes]

Jason ftw.

Great guy to work with sounds pretty awesome so far. It def can get better but i'm loving the vibe right now. Fast paced, insane melodies. Break at 2:18 is a great transition. great build to the lead at 3:20, ending lead could use some more power. can't wait to here more.

Or4nges responds:

Thanks man! This is going to be our final draft, so enjoy what it is :p

Stay tuned for more though.

LMFAOOO

i remember this song from awhile ago. Pretty funny i must say... you better watch out these record companies could be stealing riffs easily...

[Krowe - Juggernaut]

First place means it shouldn't be touched.

Leave this the way it is. The mixing was definitely what got you the first place prize and also the unique synths imo. When i first heard it i didn't think it was really that impressive but i listened more closely and it is very well done for what you put into it. Some people might not agree with the style or synths but that is beside the point. Congrats on the win. If you tried to add more bass now it wouldn't help your mix. Just continue to make tracks and you will improve on it in the future.

KroweMusic responds:

Haha thanks man :) I'm gonna have to disagree with you. I really think it needs more bass...not a whole lot more, though.

Thanks for the review :)

[[DJ_ITD] - Metro]

you and your kicks

I must say you have some of the best kick mixing. Your kicks are very unique to all of your songs. Everytime i hear your songs and i hear the kick i say woah. a kick can do that? adds so much to your pieces. So keep making really great kick/percussion cuz that is really well done 2 and the rest should fall right into place. Downloaded this awhile ago and i'm glad it is getting more attention on top 30 :)

djInTheDark responds:

Thanks, percussion has always been my strong point, in production and away from the computer. And it's very ture, once I get my rhythm going, eveything works itself in. It also usually is the very first thing I write down when starting a new song, so I uess that might have something to do with it. Who knows?

Thanks for the review!

[This Song Sucks Part 2]

Why does it begin so bad but gets better?

You start to tolerate it for what it is. Pretty bizarre. This song does suck though. LOL just kidding. it is just really bad. nah i kid. i like it, even though it is garbage. oh haha whoops didn't mean that.

i just had a revelation and i think i love this song cuz it has been playing for almost 45 mins and i didn't realize it. so that disereves something. gonna listen to part one and laugh at it for awhile.. i didn't mean that though. haha am i drunk maybe?

EricFreeman responds:

lmfao friends don't let friends drink and review songs :P

But yeah, the song definitely starts out like crap. That's why I said it sucks, heh. I didn't even realize it evolves and gets better until I listened to it for several weeks periodically and then stopped hating it >.<

[[Fiji] Complexities]

Deep intense.

Kinda getting the feeling about this piece. Really deep stuff about huge issues in the sound clips you got going. Got me thinking through out the song about them and it was really crazy how it flowed though. At one point i thought the song was going dubstep and some crazy scream basses would just drop outa no where. Great work though, that mid section was really weird how it almost got quite but i heard alot of different things n my heart was beating... You should really enter this into the Heavenly/ Uplifting contest on the NG Audio Forums even though it would be a late entry. I loved it.

MrFijiWiji responds:

ahhh, i wish i wudve knew about the competition ahead of time :/. thank you anyways for the review tim :)

what happened to pressing the record button :(

that was my favorite part but on a serious note, this is taking a turn into the dubstep realm. Definitely on its way in more of the right direction. Just the slight touch of mixing genres always turns into something good and unexpected. Without the voice clips it sounds empty now cuz in my head i am placing them there but that is no big deal. Next step might be to start adding higher pitched snyths but idk where you are headed and what the purpose of this track is. Overall you know what you are doing.
