The-iMortal's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[JazzStep 1]

Haha! The humour is this track is fantastic! The sax is epic, too. Dub could use a bit of work, but the concept of Jazzstep is epic.

sorohanro responds:

Thanks. I'll try to see some new combinations :)

[Mother]

Really nice. Emotional and musically fantastic. I'm sure your mother would be very proud.

Troisnyx responds:

I trust she will! <3 Thank you. x

[So N love With Your Booty]

Haha! Not too bad, bro.

patrickliberty responds:

kewl, thanks :-D

[OverBurn (MAC12 Entry)]

Great melodic track with a very warm sound!

RobSoundtrack responds:

Thankya mucho!

[DJB - The Swag Machine]

Impressive! The drums sound MUCH better and fuller than in Revelations. I can't place my finger on anything wrong in this track. Love the dub riffs and the melodies.

However, if you want to add some more energy and awesomeness to your dub riffs, I'd recommend some correctly applied distortion. A plugin I highly recommend is Ohmicide. Apply that correctly to your dub synths, and the energy shall come!

DJ-Babokon responds:

Yeah I agree. i've always just used the built in distortion in Massive, like Brauner Tube or the parabolic Shaper. I have Ohmicide I just have no idea how to use it lol.
Thanks for your review tho :)

[The Rainbow Song [WIP]]

Nice! I particularly like the solo at 3:00. It has a feel-good vibe. All it needs is vocals, and then you'd have a great composition going.

Troisnyx responds:

Any lyrics ideas please? :3 I'm kinda clueless...
But I'm really glad you like it! Thank you! x

[DJ Babokon - Revelations]

A fantastic effort. Musically good and correct synths applied. However, there are still some downsides.

There is way too much sparkle to the hi-hats and cymbals. The snare could definitely have a bit more body to it. There is no bass line (listening through subwoofer).

The track as a whole sounds very clouded and too atmospheric. I think the sparkly hats and cymbals highly contribute to this.

It sounds a bit too busy at the parts (3:05 is an example), I believe because of the main talking synth being used. It would probably sound better if that synth was either replaced with something more subtle or removed. That way, there's more impact when the dub gets in. I have to say though, those parts, musically, are quite great. You just need to bring out that melody more so the average listener doesn't have to put effort into listening to the tune, without giving those parts more impact than they need.

"E-e-er-error!" Awesome! Loved it! Fits perfectly with the track.

All in all, a fantastic effort but sounds a bit too full. If you listen to professional electro, and music in general, you will notice that the melodies/main dub riffs stick out more than anything else in the mix, without overriding the whole track. In this track, your melodies and dub riffs almost blend in too much with the rest of the mix. This still sounds good to musicians because we can easily identify the melody and enjoy it, but to the average listener, it can be a bit too much effort to enjoy.

Well done.

DJ-Babokon responds:

Wow now that was a proper review! Congratulations sir, you've actually offered constructive criticism on Newgrounds. I'll work on making everything stand out and stuff and I appreciate the dual perspective. Thanks for the review.

[Insanctuary Wrote Me a Poem]

Ahahaha!

Was this via PM?

AKACCMIOF responds:

Nah, it was in a thread that got deleted :P The Insanctuary Simulator thread if you remember that :P The dude has since pmd me since, and I have significantly more respect for him than I did when I made this, but it is all word for word :)

[FS: The-iMortal]

Lol

It's not bad for imrpov - definitely not the best. You did some research ;)

FairSquare responds:

Songwriting is clearly not one of my strongest points :p
But hey, at least it's a song about you huh? :D

[French Poop Yummy]

Needs a better name

Damn! The way you've used those growls is perfection. What grabbed my attention was your post on the forums regarding the Skrillex bass sound. Using a much cleaner and un-distorted growl suits this song so well. Great work, man.

jpbear responds:

Thanks! I was trollin a bit with the title :P

The bass patches in this song were just some things left over from previous projects thrown in together actually. Fuzzy distortion is my enemy when making bass patches!
