Siborg's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hollow v.2 unfinished]

A new approach

Though im not sure if i liked this one or the origianl more, the original seemed to have more a beat structure compared to this one. THOUGH you did do a better job with the synth work in this one, if you were to combine the strengths of the two you would have a sweet version.

HarvestThrone responds:

Hmm...alright. I'll work with it a bit when I go back to it. I've discovered new synths and everything since these ones as well so I'll probably improve the instrument selection.

[Hollow (unfinished version)]

The name fits

Good choice of track title it suited the type of synth you are using here, you had some good elements like the pads and transitions, though i would have added more to the syths, maybe a bit of layering or variety with them. Other than that good job

HarvestThrone responds:

Thanks! Yeah I haven't gone back to this and worked on it yet. There will definitely be some changes though.

[Harsh"ish"]

Ouch

This track is in needing of some EQC (Equalization Care). Instead of turning things up eq them, if you like bass this will work in your favor as it will get rid of alot of the muddling. With a bit of TLC in the track you could clean this up and trust me you'll be more pleased with it too.

earslicer responds:

I was messing with the equalizer when i got done with this just to see what it changed. but i just left it on a preset. But ill mess around with it again. Ty

[Lonelines gone bad WIP]

HMM

Not really to much to judge here, you got a good start going though your direction could be interesting. Sounds good all around :)

OPQC responds:

thanks! i know my WIPs don't sound so good as the finished ones... they're just previews how it closely could sound like.

[01: So It Begins]

Neat

Hey not bad cover though i gotta ask....is this a MIDI cover? Or did you do this completly by ear? And is that a synth guitar? Sorry for the questions just curious. Goo work on the produsction end and the evil drones in the middle were a nice touch :)

Project-Aftershock responds:

I listened to the original and by ear recreated it as this. The guitar is a severely distorted square synth. Thank you for the reveiw!

[Eirun - Mantis]

Not to bad

I really enjoyed the music and the vocals kind of remind me of En Esh a bit, though the synth guitar really did nothing for me, if possible get a real guitarist to record for this track. It would really balance things better i think. All and all good work :)

Eirun responds:

No way! :D Also, I can't edit my songs, since they're all done in one sprint. My maximum is mixing vocals or sound effects over the raw instrumental. FL Studio Demo has such restrictions that let only really good songs pass - ones that are worth all my freetime in a single day. :P

[Die Tore]

Mechanical

This reminds me of an army of machines or scenes from Terminator I like the drones and is that a vocal sample i hear? This has stong converter influence in here. Nothing negative to say FUCKIN EH!!!

Teddybeere responds:

I must admit, I don't listen to converter that much, but they're played in my noise radio sometimes. No vocals in there.

[Sonnenritt]

Not my favorite

This one seems to be lacking some elements mainly something that carries the song like a more dominate kick or rythm this ones kinda just crawls along, and didn't do anything for me.... well at least in some parts the metal clanking was pretty awesome i must say.

Teddybeere responds:

Hm hm. It's a track from my first album, these days I just started with music like this. I found out about the wonders of distortion and dind't knew how to use them fair. Anyways, it's one of my favorites on this album.

[Keller]

I can see this in a game

Sounds alot like boss music, i think its that synth in the backround thats really selling this for me. Has that evil terror feel to it, everything fits perfectly and well put together i can't say anymore

Teddybeere responds:

Well, thank you.

[Halle 5]

Nice

I love the progression to the snare simple yet effective and that snare is the perfect crunch...kinda like Golden Grahams cereal :) As being the harshest i dunno you do have harsher...its still killer. This is more of a moving song a floor filler so to speak. That synth though takes a wee bit to long to come in if it came in a measure or two before i think it would have been more effective. And it needs either a EQ or to be brought up a bit...it'd go for EQ and cut out the low end on that synth its unnessary. at the 4:00 mar though i don't know whats going on is that a bass sound (remember shitty headphones here) cuz it gets muddled up....i won't dock for that :P. Nice! I like the way you come back to your original idea at the end of the track. I think this is the longest review ive given to you. That or i just rant and spew uselessness hahahah good one!

Teddybeere responds:

I think my first work that was primarily designed for the dancefloor. Tha bass at the end is a veeeery distorted tom, and yeah, it's swallowing the kicks. Maybe not perfect to dance to but in some way, it felt right.
