Argyros's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[{Heim} Smooth Sailing]

Amazing :)

Yes, the percussion does need to be louder. At the moment it's not quite in your face enough.

Melodically and structurally this song was amazing :) I didn't like the sound of some instruments, such as the vioin? at 0:14. It was too loud, and I don't think I like the actual sound itself. Maybe look for a new violin sample/soundfont/synth/etc?

Anyways, all that aside, it's REALLY good. You've got some skills. One of the best composers on NG, clearly.

JeffHeim responds:

Agreed, I'll definitely make revisions with the percussion. Thanks for the second opinion.
Hmm, I'll look through some other soloistic VST's...maybe flute would work better, or perhaps less reverb on the solo violin. I'll tamper with some sounds and see what I can come up with. Thanks again!

[Simple HipHop Beat]

Wow dude

I think that's the best beat I've heard on NG; you've got some serious talent. I'm not a hiphop fan or anything, but this was pretty epic.

Keep it up!

The-MickMad responds:

thanks :) I try to do my best , it's just that :)

[AcidSoldier's Minute]

The two synths....

Don't really work well with each other. There's a lot of clashing between them, like every time the bassline changes.

Nice little chill song though. I'd reccommend changing the main melody synth and getting a deeper bass.

Keep it up!

AcidSoldier responds:

Thanks, I'll take a look at how I can improve it.

[Killer dNb]

Sex in music form!

Really really good stuff here, nice work :)
The bassline was epic, and the drums were too, but like they guy below me said, the bass is much more powerful than the drums (specifically the kick), which can't be good.

I think you could go for one or two variations on the bassline.

YES, I FOUND THE EASTER EGG! (I hope you meant to put that in there, otherwise I seem like a prick :P You threw in the bassline from Chaoz Impact right at the end :) That was pretty epic, i must say ;) )

Keep it up!

Sytze responds:

Shhh don't tell anyone...

[Slowly Coming Down - Preview]

I liked it a lot

The voice was a bit hard to hear, but IMO it sounded pretty good. I think with a bit of work (either cheat with melodyne, or take a few vocal classes :P) you could have a pretty great voice for this kind of music.

I liked the guitar too, simple, but works great in the song.

The intro was neat, but I wished that it was incorporated more into the actual song. (The water sfx I mean)

Little kid's laugh was creepy :P

Good stuff, keep it up!

tijnn responds:

Ha thanks, i actually don't really like my music so i'll continue to let others do the vocals for me in the future but... thanks anyways, i might try something with my voice sometime. (: At least i'm glad you liked it ; )

And yeah, i really liked the simple melody too... It's so relaxing and subtle.

Anyways - Thanks for the kind review man ; )

[Simple Plan]

It was all right :/

Like the person below me said, the instruments sucked. Pick some better ones (Just experiment with presets and stuff....or make your own ;) ) and add some nice fx to them to make them even more original.

The melodies weren't bad, kinda repetitive though.

That bell thing around 45 seconds in is really irritating.

The kick/hat loop sounds really good :) best part of the song.

+1 bonus marks because it doesn't actually have anything to do with Simple Plan (the "band") :D

Koolboy00 responds:

I think you are right..its kind of..umm...boring and by the way i just called it simple plan (just a name. not a band)
anyway thank you for your review

[DPulse/IxON - Electro Therapy]

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Keep it up!

LOL@10 even though i hated it ;)

DigitalPulse responds:

I LOVE YOU 2 BLAH

Thanks for the review,

Digital Pulse

[Chaoz Impact-[Anima Mix]-]

Holy Shit! :S

Really good! :S
I thought Chaoz Fantasy was hard enough to remix when I did that about half a year ago...this song must've taken a LONG time.

Really good work with this one. I'm hella impressed!

Keep it up!

P.s. Do you use FLStudio? If so, wanna collab sometime?

Anima-Theory responds:

Thanks man :D

yes I do use FL

and yes, we should collab, gimme a holler when you wanna :D

Anima

[DPulse - No Control]

Oh SHIT!

THIS BOAT IS FO' REAL, MO'FUCKA!

Seriously though, good song. Hopefully I can get you some popularity at that gay anime thing in July ;)

DigitalPulse responds:

Yea man, me to!

Thanks for the review,

Digital Pulse

[Tranquilizer [Final]]

Nice Job

I really like the intro synth, the one with the automated filter cutoff

I don't like the synth (the acid one) that comes in at 0:15, sounds kinda weird.

The snare kinda clips with the kick a little bit, try putting a Parametric EQ2 (or 1) on it, then cutting out the bass frequencies. Turn up the high frequencies a little bit if you want to get it more "punchy"

I don't like the kick a lot, it's not.....punchy enough. Try layering more kicks with it.

Bass is a little weak.

LMFAO, so I finally read the description, and now I see that you CAN'T change any of this stuff.....wow, go me. Oh well, maybe you learned something from this review anyways? :P I hope so, just trying to help. :D

jbarnett responds:

HAHA! lol you are suposed to read the author comments first lol. And yes, I did learn from this review :) thanks for takin the time to check it out
