Stargenx's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-Killstealer-]

Interesting sound

Sounds pretty nice, but it's not 100% perfect. The intro was admittedly somewhat lengthy and could have been a little more diverse.

Waterflame responds:

Thanks! yeah i see what you mean. thanks! ill take that into concideration. thnk ill change the start a bit then :D

[Dark Memory]

Very good

I love the poignant piano, 10/10, 5/5
Great job.

xDSxGabo responds:

Thank you very much Stargenx, Hope you Enjoyed it.

[DJ Opaix - Down]

Great

Very interesting sound, do I hear gated reverb?
I definitely hear "Benny Benassi" in this. Great song for dancing.

ElectroLord99 responds:

nah, the reverb effect you hear is an inverted peak controller trick I tried :D

[Let's clean up the oil spill]

Gentle.

It was gentle but some things didn't harmonize correctly. :| Maybe it was to signify the oil that's ruining the gentle-ness of the ocean. I don't know. This song is pretty good. It's got ambient texture, firm drums, warm piano, man this has it all. All it needs is for us to clean up that "oil spill" of non-harmonized music. :) 8/10.

TheThinWhale responds:

Huh... okay I guess the I will use the unharmonized part as a metaphor for the oil

[10101010010010110]

It's dubstep! ....again.....

The snare is too loud in the first part. Everything else sounds nice and it goes along for a while on loop until about 0:28 when you have that bell-like sound. Then you take away the bass for a bit until the drop.
I liked the drop in this one. At 0:56 however, there was this strange bass that didn't sound anything like the normal one, it was distracting that that came in every once in a while.
I sort of liked the off-beat wobble bass in this one. It was pretty good. The intermittent bass at 1:49 was okay, as well.
The song IS repetitive, no doubt about that. It just toodles along from 2:14 - end with not much change. All in all, it's pretty good. (I hate using that cliche') The ending is just...bleh.... There is no ending. Lower the volume on your snares please, add some more elements to it and we're fine. :) 7/10

[.: As Your Lies Burn :.]

Generic pills

It started out with some generic guitar riffs. There are so many good guitarists that they aren't worth a lot. What we need are good singers. There's not much I can say about this. It is very repetitive, yes, but it all sounds the same as well. I listened to it five times and didn't notice when it looped. All it is is a few chords. Needs more stuff. I know it's a WIP. 6/10. Generic score, not good not bad.

leopapitas responds:

Hahaha yeah I know it's very generic :/ I've been thinking it through and even though it's a WIP, I still don't know if it is worth it to actually finish it. I'm finding it very hard to make something that goes along with this and that isn't so repetitive. Thank you very much for the review (:

[Natural Waves )>}-{'/]

Layer'd.

Until about 0:29 it sounded atmospheric and then the atmosphere changed completely until around 0:48. The beginning reminds me of music from "Mass Effect" XD. The stuff coming in at about 0:57 was very nice.
This is an interesting chord progression and an interesting bevy of sounds layered in here. 1:38 reminded me slightly of "The Matrix". The sound effect at about 1:51 was very well done and again at 2:04.
2:19, the main theme hadn't gotten old and was still interesting. It feels very atmospheric the whole way through. The ending went back to the atmospheric olden days at the beginning of the song. You achieve the prestigious 9/10.

Thanks for the review, and may I say....what a review!
I very much appreciate the input!

[Robot EKG]

Glitchy.

Sounds glitchy. The squeaking was kind of annoying. It would have been maybe a nice misc. loop for something had the squeakiness not been there. Also, the quick things at the end didn't really fit with the rest of it. 7/10

thanks.

[DurpDurp (Mans0n)]

Extrem3

In the beginning, the sort of slid into being and phased in and out. It's an interesting sound. It titillates my ears. The massive side-chaining helps with the head-bobbing. I don't think the pitch bending during the song really does anything. At around 1:37 it sounds really random with the random change. Still, interesting to listen to. Needs to be longer. 7/10

thanks for the review man, I'm just trying out some new samples

[A new day is rising(WIP)]

Iced Liquid Stars

The intro was nice. I think that the whole song should sound like the intro. The intro lyrically plays on until 0:19 when the drums and bass kill the mood by sounding nothing like it. The swooshing sounds are harsher than they should be.

The clap sound added sounds weak. Then, more kick and bass come in and make my speakers shudder. >.< Then comes part of the thing from the intro which doesn't sound in harmony with it at all. Then we get the intro back at around 1:15. Then another loud sound that's not in the same key destroys the mood again. Then my speakers start shuddering again at 1:42.
I'm noticing a pattern.
The biggest complaint I have with this - other than the fact that the intro isn't a full quiet ambient song - is that the intro sounds sound nothing like what the song is.

It's distracting and completely contrasts in some distorted way. This doesn't sound like trance at all and the pause at 3:03 is very annoying. Then the song just peters out.
I dislike the lack of an ending, the fact that the beautiful sounds of the intro are so harshly dashed and the fact that the main song clashes so horribly when they're put together. 4/10

jpgregorio responds:

Firstly, thanks for the review.
secondly......well, i just put it under trance because that's the closest genre to hardstyle.

Speaking of witch(forgot how to spell itxD) some parts of your review basically indicate that you don't know the genre, either that or you simply don't like it xD.

the kick 'n' bass at 0:41 are suposed to be hard, same with the melody(maybe i overdid it? :P).

i was going for "a nice justaposition of elements" but seems that was not the case or else you would've mentioned something like that in the review :(.

if you don't know hardstyle some names you might wanna look into would be:
Alpha Twins, Brennan Heart (Blademaster),Headhunterz, wildstyles, DJ Ephixa(has newgrounds acount), just to name a few.
thx again bye.
