ViceOfFire's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Space City [Dr.S]]

DOPE

The Microsoft Same voice (only the one at the start) sounds a bit cheesy, but what can you do :P

When the breakbeat comes in, it's pretty much an auditory orgasm.

From then on, the vocal chopping, the drums, melody, everything is great.

The only wish I might have is for a more pronounced, sawwy bassline.

Dr-Slump responds:

Thanks Viceoffire! You know... i thought the same thing about the robotic voice. But with the scratches and choir singing, it proved very useful. I guess the robotic voice of Sam is what i was looking for, especially in a music called "Space City" haha.

Thanks for the compliments, and about the sawwy bassline... it would "clip" the song a little. I think. I'm more into real bass, not synth. (And i'm not into octaves too much too...) ;)

[Bass Piratez - Pirate Dance]

Great work

Great work dude! I'm loving the melodies, and the bass is especially nice.

I have you on msn, not sure if you remember me.

[Stream of Consciousness - WIP]

Sounds great!

Sounds awesome dude, glad to see you recovered from the 0 bomb, I can empathize there, all my songs were 4's yesterday :/

I really like the breakbeat with the calm riff, it's great.
And the subtle vocals give it that bit more professional depth, great work :D

[Crystalline Disbelief]

Beautiful

Wow, amazing work dude, I love this.
The dynamics sound good, was this just a midi keyboard?

And freestyle.. just makes me go wow.

I could imagine this in a really emotional part of a game/movie.

curriemaster responds:

Hey thats a good review :D. Im using an M-Audio Prokeys 88SX to trigger the samples in Kontakt's grand piano. Glad you liked the song, and thanks very much for leaving a review :).

[Tetris on Speed]

i dont like it.

I'm sorry but I must be the only one who's ears started bleeding with that offbeat high pitched whiny shit.

imo the melody being with that synth as well, and offbeat to, just doesnt work.

then again 3,000 people disagree.

HouseMasta responds:

whiny start? offbeat?

[[JD]is coming for you(SCA]

Amazing

I love it! The effects are great, and yes it's more scary indeed.
Very haunting, it's great.

I love what almost sounds like a voice in the background.

enders1 responds:

Thanks for the input man, Im filled with joy everytime someone likes my music.

[Space Journey (First Version)]

good job!

I realized i never reviewed this!

good work dude, you've come a long way :D

and I look forward to hearing your next song.

Zafoe responds:

thx man lol XD

[[Custom Track] Fruitless Dream]

I like it.

I like this a lot, but I think it can be improved in various ways.

There is a lot of changing of instruments near the end that lost me.
I also think the strings were introduced really strangely, and I'm not the biggest fan of the particular sound used for them.

What I liked a lot, was the drums, the bassline, and the melodies, especially the piano melo that starts at 00:53 :D

Sorry I couldn't elaborate, I'm extremely tired as I've been up all night.

Overall I liked this a lot.

EmperorCharlemagne responds:

Yeah, a lot is going on at the end, and perhaps I should have eased them in more gradually. Though I thank you for your input.

I used the strings for essentially harmony parts and little else, and I suppose I experimented a little with harmony, accounting for the weirdness. Thank you for the review!

[Racmus - Psyched Out]

Not too bad.

It's Techno imo, the melodies and arps aren't formed like trance melodies, but the bassline is like a trance bassline.. And the clap is hardstyle.

Regardless, I like it :D
Definitely one of the better tracks on NG.

That being said I must say the melody is quite repetitive.

RacmusDK responds:

Well, thank you for good genre diffinition ;D
And thanks for the review :D I appreciate it !

And maybe you are kind a right.
But I'm glad you liked it anyways!

[The Epic Sound (Preview)]

a few gripes

I have a few gripes with this, but melodicly it's great
I think the snare&hi hat are much too loud, and they dont fade in that well with the automation at the start.

I LOVE the piano melody though. Also I found that the kick was way too soft. But it's a WIP, these things can easily be ironed out.

Good work

Dj-Noxid responds:

Thanks for the review :)
