aldlv's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[I was made for lovin' you]

impressive

has great rhythm, an amazing guitar, the voice from the intro was very nice used, the vocals were great and i liked the lyrics, but the vocals were little to quiet compared to the rest of the song at least at the beginning of it, the ending is really amazing, finishing just with the guitar was a nice effect
I never heard the original, but i'm pretty sure this one make honor to it, it was fantastic

GlueR responds:

Thanks for that! I had other people also saying that the vocals are low in the mix and I do understand this, but the higher the vocals are in the mix, the pop-ier the song. So I was trying to stay in the rock side of things, before becoming too radio friendly for my taste.

[** \ RTB's Theme / **]

was great

such a sweet and simple easy intro that introduce you to such a guitar awesomeness... that was a good effect, the intro sounds pretty good with a nice rhythm and the guitar part is really amazing, at 1:00 the voice and quiet is a cool touch and the guitar after it makes an awesome combination, and that it has a lot of changes makes the song not repetitive at all... and from 2:25 it gets incredible
all the rest of the song was fantastic

Sonofkirk responds:

Thanks for the review dude. I'm glad you liked it, keep on reviewing, you have an insane pace :P

[Chaotic Freedom]

is different

is good, i like it was progressive, the intro was nice and a little bit calm but has a good beat
then the guitar was awesome, hard and without control, but the guitar sounds a little bit simple, i recognize it, is the fruity loops basic guitar one, and it has a lot more potential, i wish you changed it a little bit, anyway it was a cool one

Insanimation responds:

Thanks, yeah, I think the guitar is the normal FL guitar, I'll tweak it wround for future submissions :)

[Strange Story]

wasn't bad...

in fact i like it, was different, the idea of the strange story really fits well, the guitar (i think it's a guitar, right?) was nice, has a good rhythm but it doesn't sound as usual, i can imagine an old farmer singing the a song with the guitar... wish it had vocals, it really needs it
it was a little long and when it gets quiet i wasn't sure if it already finished, i wish the silence between the part was a little smaller, even with all that, it want' bad, was very nice

link3657 responds:

thanks for the review!
yes it is a guitar
if you can think of some lyrics PM me and I can put them into the song
and the quiet part...I accidentally hit my volume nob and just went with it :P

[X-Onic]

was a little strange

was very unique, i have to accept it, wasn't bad at all, but the guitar sounds a little weird, the first thing that came to my mind was vehicle horns... so is strange
it's really simple, but wasn't bad, i wish it were a lot longer

XwaynecoltX responds:

Thanks for the review.

[Sp1r1T - Pulse]

pretty nice beat

wow... sounds pretty nice, simple intro but i like later, the beat was nice, lots of changes, and all time it gets better, the middle part was a little quiet, it should continue with the strong it has at the beginning, but anyway the song was nice, you really can feel the 'pulse' of awesomeness it has

Sp1r1T responds:

Thanks :D

I don't think the volume dips, but it could be a weak spot in my Mastering...

[SRD - Commutersville]

is interesting

nice intro, and has a good rhythm, but the song feel like if where far away, it has potential, it really do, but i can't get appreciated with this static, i feel it was going to destroy my speakers, when i put the volume louder to hear it
hope you find a way to fix the static...

thegreatmorph responds:

thanks, i'm trying, believe me i am!

[MeZoni TriZoni]

is pretty great

nice start, directly to the song, has a nice rhythm what really make you want to jump the chair and dance around... all the effects are nice, the changes you add make me think that you were changing in time, getting beck to past, then a few year later ad then back again, it was a nice touch
i have to say the song is very long, was nice but i got a little tired of it at 3 min...
but when you add the girl voice was nice, it get your attention again, so was pretty awesome

GlueR responds:

Thanks for the review! Well, that's sort of what I was doing. I was mainly trying to mix styles together. I think it worked to some extend. There is a possibility that I will do an entire song as a "dance "cover to our other song (the female lyrics in the end), called "Ode to beer". But I'll have to get round to start it first.... :-)

[The Dust of Destiny [GW]]

is pretty good

has a pretty nice intro, that really gets your attention for the rest of the song, nice drums adding, they are very calm, maybe sweet at some point, has a nice calm & quiet rhythm that makes you to feel 'free', like getting liberated, i enjoy it very much

gamerworld14 responds:

Wow, thank you very much for this review. I really appreciate how you took time to review more than one of the songs I have. Also thanks for the favorite :D

Yeah, for the beginning, all I did was reverse a loop I found online and then i added some effects and reverb and stuff to it. Thanks again for the review!

Your Fellow Newgrounder,

[Intake Part I]

is a nice one

i like those 'space' effects, the rhythm was nice, and had a good different style, i feel the beginning a little simple, but later the song feel more 'complete', i like a lot more the guitar and the space effect, so when you leave the space sounds a lot if felt kind of weird, but even like that the song was pretty good
it has a few static when the some instrument enter, that's something you may fix

NeverHundred responds:

Yeah, preety much you take a choras or pad synth and you bend it, preferably but not nessecarally in melodic and rhythmic way that follows the rest of the song. I used the same technique in later intake songs, and in Skyline March, after a while I sort of stopped using it in my work... but I like it and I should revisit it again in the future.
