Suspended-3rd-Chord's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[...# - Popcorn (Unf. Remix)]

Very nice feel

I like the tribalish rendition indeed. I would have to disagree with the two below reviewers- I think you had an appropriate intro before the melody kicked in, I would have even liked you to end with a similar phase in the intro (unless you're going for the loop). anyways cool instruments, I like the percussive toms or whatever along with the warm mallet percussion, and the panflute. The overall mix is quiet which certainly isnt a flaw at all- each instrument is at proportionate level with each other and it makes a nice soft, atmospheric feel.

Nice listen here.

[Expect Abuse]

good rap

did you make that beat? because its BANK. perfectly composed and put together. real hard percussion/beat.

your rap voice isnt the greatest, but you've got decent flow and quite ill-lyricism. Some real great lines. The chorus is the best "these cuts on the shoulder are getting infected" -like that line. "picking corn on the cob" - XD ! . the rap around the downpitched voice was my favorite part.

The only flaw was it ended to abruptly a smoother ending would have allowed the beat to go on for a few more seconds, and possibly a faded out ending. Some "backing" vocals/rhymes would be ill in here too.

Sweet dude.

[XKal - Another1]

mmmm....

damn you and X-Kal did a great job on this one. this rap is straight up credible. The beat is so juicy and fresh its probably edible. <--- not bad for starters?

I especially like the bells/piano melody and scary bassline-fits right in with the groove of the bass kick. Like the two samples used for the hi hat, and the muffled snared, makes a real gangsta beat. A plucked strings riff in here would be tight as hell too.

Rap is damn fresh- whoever's rapping in this has the perfect voice suitable for laying down a rhyme, he/you sounds a little bit like Samuel Jackson. Anyway, lyrics are real harder, great flow and intimidating.

Great track!

[Lejin's Expectations]

I'm waiting for the Fives

likin the beat bro. The string sounds a bit VGish-nice callout, I guess we will see the REAL G's of newgrounds.

Favorite lines
"Saving everybody from these keyboard wangster 0s"
"To offline to online, from gamers to gangsters, they love me"

could used a bit more symbolism IMO during the later half of the rap - but then again I cant make lyrics worth shit.

Good luck with da battle.

[>>ROOM NR. 8]

save energy

Do you work for an air conditiong company? This sounds like it would be on some type of commercial with a good looking model advertising an air conditioning unit for the summer...then she takes off her clothes. LOL. Anyways, real nice catchy beat. Are you going to rap to this in your presentation? Interesting blend of hip hop, ambient, pop, and "elevator music" like the guy said below, styles.

The intro was kinda weak, the beat isnt the best of quality, the background synths arent too entertaining, but when you kick in with the bassline, it sounds really groovy. Sickass scratch effects. The piano interludes have nice sexy melodies, really confident-sounding chord progression. The beat gets a lot more interesting during the the more active parts. Nice job breaking the repetiveness with the piano interlude around 2:45! I think the outro was over drawn out-either that or spice it up a bit more.

the only real problem here is it is a tad too repetitive and the quality is not the best. But I think this would be perfect for your situation, repetitive but catchy looped patterns to drone the audience's attention in! But it wouldnt get boring because theres lots of cool ideas in here that make for a smooth track.

This would backup for a very interesting presentation, I'd stay even if it was just for the beat! Good luck mate!

"next stage!!! the dining hall"

:D next time when i make a video to this
with girls who like drop of their clothes :P

it was a presantation over logistics and little bit shipping, packaging you know?
it was running on the background (not loud but hearable) while i blablabla :)

thanx to your review, your words always big

Constant Entertainment

Definetly reminds me of a surf techno, that beginning trancey synth sounds like something bouncy around the ocean, nice and drifty. Bassline sits in quite well with the bass kick. The lead synth really kicks, nice and laidback but really cool eletronica fitting melody. I like how the volumes are relatively low so its nice and easy to chill too. Gets a little more complicated when you bring in Mr. lead synth #2, nice mixup. Again, the melodies glaze and flow across the piece really nicely-kinda sounds like Vectorman near the end, I like how you ended with the synth playing by itself, I think you could have ended the piece with a longer or different note, doesnt resolve as well it could. Another thing you could think about doing in the end is a little solo duel between the two lead synths, and have them end by panning out through different speakers. Really kickass solos in here though.

Otherwise perfect, crisp clarity, I cant decide whether I like the bass kick or want it to have more fatness. Good beat, I think you could have used more then one reverse crash sample to spice up some things. Great work!

Twistedtechnology responds:

Glad you enjoyed it. Yea, i probably could have used more crash samples, but i was too involved with the rest of the song to notice that :P

That panning idea is actually pretty fucking cool.....im gonna have to try that next time XD

Thanks for the review bro!

[[8-bit] Jingrum N Baells]

Dn8

8bit and DnB eh...the two styles I would least expect to fuse?the way you rhythmically structure your synths and beat gave it a hip hopish feel with me actually, as well. looks like you made a quite spectacular track. really diverse drums that seems like you put a lot of work into seeing how frequently they change. you know, i just kinda wish they were 8bit or atleast some sections would have some cheesy samples or bitcrushed drums :) really catchy melodies, just like the previous Mac entry I reviewed, excellent job at keeping the main, recognizable ideas of the track that you're remixing while giving an noticable personal spice of your own. Nice bassline, and VGish sounding intracies-like that little ditty on 1:03

again, cant give any real criticism-i think everything was arranged perfectly. Good simplish opening that gets gradually more complex and flows well throughout.

Noice :P

[-8bit jingle twist-]

That's pretty damn sweet

this a kickass rendition dude! I enjoyed the 8bit beat, that super-cheery fluteish sounding melody, and those "fireball" sounds. Do you have an arpeggio in there that is played in Mario when you get a 1up as well? Real glad you included some originality, interlude is the best part of the track. Also sounds like you got the original themes nailed right on too, great job.

I dont really have any criticism to offer. Sounds great in 8 bit type of way!

[Cruising At Thirty-Thousand Ft]

Groovalicious

A really chilled back bassline man-sounding real slick.

Again, overall track is a real nice one-bassline is real solid once again-sounds like a thematic jingle for a bunch of sexy women walking down a hall or somethin :P I especially how like when it just halts like around 0:40. Nice clear tone here too, just wish there could be some slap bass but its already quite perfect!

Pianos and bells compliment the track quite well-really romantic chord progressions. I do like the panning ideas-but when the bells/electric piano arent playing the track seems a bit empty since there isnt enough of sound in the right ear.

Diggin the phat beat too. just wish this could be a bit longer, and feature a rock solo which I'm sure you're capable of from hearing your other track.

Great work! I'm gonna try to figure out that bassline :D

[Trial By Fire (Intro)]

Suggestions?

thats a pretty sick heavy riff, nice metal sound, like the pinch harmonics. If your tone had more gain and compression (if you got a pedal) they could squeal like a pig. Does remind me a little of Slayer.

I'm not sure of your equipment but you could probably squeeze a little bit better of a production sound-although its alright for an intro. I'd put some reverb on the guitar in the intro with the less heavy guitars to add some depth-then decrease the level of reverb once you get into the main sequence, and add a more heavier tone. If you got an actual bass or some synthesized bass on your computer(again not sure of your setup) you could play a heavy power chord riff with EQed mids on the guitar and leave room for a booming bass-making a super heavy sound.

well, I'm not super creative but it does sound like this riff is going to turn into something fast paced with a rocking blast beat, so in the intro you could gradually make the hi hats louder, spice up the rhythm a bit, and add a snare hit every 3 bars or so raising intensity to smoothly transition into a heavy riff. Again just jossling around some ideas, but by reading your description you want something badass sounding right :P? So I would keep a similar riff to the one you used in the intro on the lead guitars, with the rhythm gutiar playing a fast power chord riff backed by a fast blast beat.

good luck man, you're off too quite a good start.
