crud's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[charge]

oh my this is a wonderful genre bender! the piano mastery is phenomenal and the the funk bass, ungh! so good! the solos are amazing and so flowy! like a spiraling dust storm of floating cottonwood fuff, light beautiful andincredibly energetic.

The ending was a bit sudden because i was following the solo sound and then is just trails off.

besides that small note, i LOVE this track. so fun and FUNky!

i will def add you on soundcloud :)

johnfn responds:

haha thanks man! such a surprise to see your review in my notifications! glad you're still alive, i'm still enjoying your music :)

[xKore - Fire]

that scream sample! everywhere!

i love the sweepy stuff in the beginning and the release cut to the fuqqin madness is mega heavy. yummy.

[Marble Blast Ultra(Remix)]

slow soft and ambient techno

I love the atmosphere you've created, a subtle fairy like techno land of black light willow trees and secretive whispers in the wind. love the pads near the end and the gated stuff. bet you had fun making it.

DjArmedWolf responds:

thank you this means a lot XD i love the description you gave haha AND yes i did have fun making this song haha

[Meadow game music]

lovely jovely

I'm a huge fan "happy" music and this has such a warm and pleasing quality and story-like progression to the tunes without straying to far from the pleasant meadow. good mix of acoustic and synth. the end was great because the bass was busy but not distracting. i think you can loop it a little better though.

DarkWalker2090 responds:

thanks. i always fade it out at the end. every song i have made does that. I guess for me it is a personal thing. i thought it was good. I do like hearing back from people to see what they think needs to be done. i do not know if i can loop it better other then not fading it out at the end XD.

Thanks Again

[Im Like This Vox Demo 2]

solid track, weak vocal effects detract.

i dig the huge orchestra hits. the kick is solid like thunder, the vocal track filtering and pitch altering makes me think of teenypop music though. ugh. maybe split it up with an unfiltered "real" vocal cut to give it balance. snaps are classic with that reverb.

ERAmatica responds:

The Vocals in this track are just place holders to help show where verses, choruses and bridges are!

[Dark & Alone In The World]

Good mood, missing some intensity.

very moody and dark. i love the chords you used in the middle piano section, a good mix of minor and inquisitive. I personally would have liked some sort of filtering on the slayer to make it sound less like the preset sound. maybe some sort of shred metal to convey that running you were talking about. all in all, i could definitely see this as background music in a rpg .

cjsnow1 responds:

Thanks for the review.

I personally dislike slayer. I should have gone with my Best Guitar Preset. Probably would've made it sound better. I'm going to go back in and see what it sounds like. If it's better I'll re-upload this. If it isn't, then you know the rest.

[Break Out]

simplistic and rockin

right at 1:50 you got me. i was a bit iffy because the resy bass synth was getting a bit boring. but with that kick-some-ass style uptempo gated stuff i was diggin it hard. maybe throw some synths in there in the upper range for a lead line or harmonies would seal the deal.

[Stupid Space]

sweet beats with teasy bass

yeah. already had my head bobbin at the hand claps. awesome sfx filtering at 0:40. didn't see the fast kick coming, once the clicky drumstick percussion came in it helped, the bass synth comes and goes too much. I'm a big fan of the blippy reverb pumped sound prevalent in the song. gimme more of the bass you started at 2:02 and 3:30

[Megaman Zero 2 - Intro]

short and light

sweet reverb, creates BIG atmosphere. I'm not familiar with the song but it has a great lightness with deep impending feeling (maybe deeper bass pads for that effect). the dissonant part at 0:33 and 1:22 was strange. maybe just needs to bass boost with compressors. all in all. sweet.

DJ-Corey-X responds:

Thanks man I'll work on it :D

[Remembering A Friend]

zounds!

i'm always a fan of NES style synths mixed with drum and bass and big ol basses. I wish i could understand what the chipmunk voice was saying. the sample in the beginning was sweet, would sound awesome overlayed with the hi-pitched vocal if they harmonized somehow. very uplifting and meloncholy. I think the beat could have been a little clearer compared to the crisp lo-bit synths.
