ranter's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[R.22].Killing The Trees.]

Great Melody!

But the rapping can really use some work, It's not hating or anything really! but alot of the times your not perfectly on beat.

I do hear that you got great flow, in ways of comparing you with other rappers on newgrounds you actually tell every 2 lines apart from the other.
Wich is good because of variation.

Another little detail is to really REALLY get your doubled vocals perfectly in sync with each other or just use one voice and try to phase it (if you have the options for it)

RoobyKillAll responds:

Yeah I've been working on getting my words right on beat lately. I'm pretty old school when it comes to recording so I don't edit my voice or anything. if I want to reverb something I just try and rap over it again haha maybe I'm too stubborn for my own good. Thanks for taking the time to write an awesome review man.

[Only Natural]

Well

Watching it with the spinart music viewer was sure different.

Kind of the feeling you have when taking some LSD or some shit.
But only thing was that the intro was pretty strange but the main part is pretty cool!

Combined45 responds:

Haha, awesome! Thanks bro. :D

[Color world Drumstep MIX Demo]

Sounds awesome!

It's already great dude!

Dunno what the guy beneath me is talking about but this is actually drumstep so before reviewing listen to the whole song...

But i don't think this beats my remix O;)

blackzilver responds:

Im pretty sure it does ;)

[TiGeR - Susurration]

Loved it until...

I was really really digging this song until 1:44, I don't think the midi/nintoish/atari kind of lead is the right one for this.
Since the song sounds very proffesional that bit kind of throws it off for me.

I really liked the part at 2:23 where it kind of goes all sane with you and doesn't try to blow your mind.. Well only till 3:07 wich is coming in with a big freak'n bang LOVE IT!

But then again at 3:51 you bring back the lead but a bit distorted, it sounds better but still not satisfying to me atleast.
Don't get me wrong i love these kind of sounds and leads but i just don't think they really fit with the rest of the song.

Well i do want to see you keep doing your stuff 'cause you're definitely one of the best around Newgrounds!

And also please checkout my songs and maybe review them i can really use the feedback on mastering my songs!

TiGeR responds:

Brilliant review! Glad you liked the song and thanks for the C&Cs :)!

Well, adding a game-ish touch to my dnb songs is one of my characteristics I guess (since I always do that, actually it's a quite sub-concious action by me xD). But I see what you mean.

Anyway, I'll definetly check out your songs later and try to give some advice. To tell you the truth I'm not very good at mastering myself, as I'm still learning about it. You should ask someone better in my honest opinion. xKore, mr-jazzman, Bjra etc etc, these guys really know what they're talking about! ;)

Thanks for the review though!

[a - Revival]

Great stuff!

I'm loving the melody! And the energy is pretty awesome although i do think the intro could've been a bit longer and it felt too compressed but that could just be me.

I'm loving all the strange noises hearing through everything and the synth that startted before 2 min was also pretty nice going over in the higher pitched/octaved synths.
Yet it still sounds a bit too compressed to me, it's pretty great!

Please cheack out some of my dnb songs aswell!
Ranter,

alertG responds:

no it is too compressed. i might release a new version to improve that. i hear the percussion is a little compressed and some synths could be brought out more.

EDIT: oh yeah put new version up.

thanks for your review!

[Brutal Beauty]

The bass is awesome!

But personally think that the drums suck, sounds cheap somehow the kick is very blunt wich makes it a bit dull to hear imo!!!

But i'm loving the basslines!!!
I mean the bass is so heavy, that if it where to be played in the midst of New York it would cause a big bang so big not even Stephen Hawking could explain!!!

PERVOK responds:

Did you actually pay attention to what the bass drum pattern was? Or just the sound of it

[-GM- Blend]

liking it!

I like it alot it's just that the kick bothers me, it doesn't blend in very well since it's a pretty dead kick. very held back aswell.

If you'd change the kick it would sound better imo.

And you should check out my jazzy song aswell, it's called "Sway Hop" it's pretty much the same idea as this but with a trumpet.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

I tried many kicks, but the way this track sounds, it's much better off with one that's almost entirely bass. The beat just doesn't 'bump' right with a more present kick, and it kind of throws off the way the bass sounds with the sidechaining.

Anyway, thanks for reviewing. checkin out your stuff too...

[Golden Sun Battle Revamp]

From what i can recall...

It's Dead on!

Especially from 0:40.
I'd want to write something constructive but i just can't think of anything that would help you even further right now!

CleaverX responds:

Haha thanks a lot :)

Golden Sun was such an awesome game. Cant wait for the remake XD
