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

[- Breathe -]

Crazy bro

This sounds like a circus is getting sucked into a black hole.....lots of weird bits in here, but its a different type of nice, great levels of intensity throughout the track.

the intro didnt really draw my attention, and there was some clipping on my speakers, try putting down a light compressor of sorts, and during certain parts of the song the hi-hats got too trebly :S

but really interesting approach here, lots of randomness, but it connects well, you've got some crazy ass riffs in here. nice chromatic percussion and hyper drum beats. nice synths, the one in the middle of the song struck me by surprise and its hella stick, its intensifying. near the end there is so more clipping too.

but more sick licks in here, just optimize some volume levels and you'll have a perfect track! stick to making DnB too :D

[- Do you want me -]

i knew i reviewed you before...

let me just say to everyone...THIS SHIT IS FYRE!!!

ethnic style, love the indian instruments you got in here, its hella sick. Love the badass flute intro, and the pizzicato strings. the sitar lays over the track nicely, it might be able to use some reverb tho....Love the hip hop synths, and tight beat. nice job EQing everything in here, it all flows really well, great production. the harmonized flutes in the end is great wrap up for the song! keep making ethnic based hip hop beats, this style is tight man! play this on the streets of india, and watch the long bearded men in turbans ROCK DA HOUSE!

Greeksta-69 responds:

ahahahahahahhaa long bearded turbans ahahhaha thanks alot man i like how you commented on everything. Its quite simple if you think about but you gotta how to make it work togethere, this is my old style of making beats i was just experimenting now im back. Thanks alot man i appreciate the review buddy.

[when i get board 2]

When I get board...

I try to learn to spell.

despite the repetitiveness and simplicity of this beat, its so damn catchy. i feel like rapping to this shit...the drum beat is tight, nice tight snare samples, I love the bassline, its pretty badass. for a chorus section i would add some higher pitched synths or something along those lines...you could have made this into a loop since its short instead of including an intro and end. the clarity here is fine, its quite obvious you are using FL studio but its all good.

keep up the good beats man.

[children have the right to...]

Woah

this is some interesting stuff, real original, dont think ive heard anything like it before.

the intro was pretty cool, Love the clanging notes and nice string noises. nice blend of creepy child clips. the pentatonic asian riffs sound nice over the track, and everything flows pretty swell. I love the bassline, and nice glitchy sounding drums...also love the ethnic percussion. you got going on in this track, again, this is pretty unique cool sound. I love the tinkle/tinker/baby bell riffs that ends the track, and it loops very well back into self. lots of ddiferent bits in here, all sounds very cool.

this was a combination of creepiness, groovyness, ethnicallity schism, all very pleasing sounding. wish it could be longer tho.

more please!

[Heavenly Pads]

nice sound dude

some pretty interesting pads used in here man. Love the opening organs, and the groovy bassier synth. the percussion around 0:40 is pretty sweet. Digging the sweet melodies around 0:50, great job combining the melodies and make the track loop well. sounds really cheery, reminds me of an intro scene to an RPG game.

some of the melodies seem a bit empty during the track, like during the later half of the track, you could have used just the drums and the lead synths, then later on place a nice floaty pad to add some nice imagery to the track, and make the overall piece longer. the beats are nice and fit the track, but you could have changed the repeating bass kick to make this clip more interesting.

the pads have a great sound, the drums are nice and clear, so no problems with the quality of the sound in this track. however, to spice it up, you could have added some reverb effects to a snare or clap every now and then.

overall, good stuff! keep it up.

[VI -Classic- Terra's Theme]

another nice track...

I actually prefered the dancing mad one, but this one is pretty cool as well. this would work well in military type of setting, or maybe a lighthearted castle battle as well.

Love the snare and timpani bits, but you could tilt the panning a little more to the center, they sound to hard panned as it is. once again great choice of synths and instruments to create a nice, battle style type of feel. the only minor problem is the guitars volume levels are a bit too low compared to the rest of the track.

again, I cant fully review this because I havent heard the original piece. otherwise, very cool track once again, and clear clarity, nothing amazing, but its still rather nice. I've seen most of your stuff is remixes, now how about an original track by you :D

whether you do or not, keep up the good work man.

Cosmos8942 responds:

Original...yeah...been thinking on that for a looooong time now. Hmm...I could make something that is my own...but I can't promise this hair raising piece that is awe-inspiring in any way. Though I will try ^^

[Dancing Mad_2ndTier_Correction]

well its hard to fairly grade remixes...

when you havent heard the original piece.

the track though is nice, some great suspenful melodies and an interesting transition throughout the track. love the drums, sounds like someone is getting chased down the hall...lots of clangers in here, but it sounds pretty good for a piece like this. pretty crazy stuff here dude. love the fast riffs near the end of the track!

love the choice of synths used in here, very nice pipe organ that adds some interestings creepiness. interesting brass and nice use of the choir sounding organ, too.

so, it was a pretty sick track, I would 10 if it was your work...by that I mean original composition that is. in remixes, hopefully you change up some of the melodies and/or rhythms and add your own stuff into it..just switching the instruments around doesnt qualify as an entire remix IMO.

Cosmos8942 responds:

I get you...and yes I do not always do full remixes. Some of the time when I am at a loss I will simply throw in one or two additional tracks in the audio, switch up some instruments and all in all play around till I get something that sounds good. Hmm...original is something that I have a very very hard time with...but with practice do things come easier in time...we will see...*wander's off thinking*

[Metaljonus-Skychasezone]

haha, you've got to be kidding me

hahaha what? this has got to be the coolest remix I've seen in my life. you took the most lullably-esque childish sounding melodies(which I must say is my second favorite sonic track) in the world and make a good sounding metal remix of it! unreal!

the verse section of the song I didnt care for too much, but it definetly sounded cool. the first section in the start of the song sounded like a new age punk type of dealy with those blast beats and fast paced power chords. the second phrase was sick as hell! love the tremolo picked riff, very nice lead guitar harmonization. once again, great job on nailing the riffs, and great wrapping up of the songs with the pickslides. Love the drum programmin in here, it kinda had a heavy metalish style with some punkish roots to. love the snare fills!

you're an oustanding guitar player, sounds like you've perfected the tremelo picking technique, and you are great at harmonizing, even tho in this song there was a couple of pieces where the harmonizing was slightly off. during the chorus, some of the notes get kinda jumbled in the mix(specifically, some of the cymbals during the fast parts of the songs)

also, some kickass guitar sounds in here too once again, they arent cheap at all and well suited for metal. you're lead guitar tones tho, still sound just a small tad too low. youve got some good drum samples utilized in here too, but they could use some tweaking...I can hardly hear your bass kicks, either that or they arent sculpted enough..just in the first half of the mix tho with the blast beats and double bass riff. the right (china?) crash cymbal could be a bit louder.

one thing that I missed were some squealing pinch harmonics, and a nice metal solo! also, I think if you did a downtempo riff of the song, added some dissonant touches ot the mix, it would have sounded TRULY kickass and \m/. regardless, you still captured the feeling of the song, and did an excellent job of it.

thanks to you and other metal artists at NG I am starting to appreciate metal again!

[Rough mix-Doomsday zone]

damn dude!

metal remix of a sonic song? ah hellz ya dude!

you nailed all the riffs on and everything, and even added your own little interesting touches in there. thinking back on the actual tracks, the melodies and original composition is perfect for a metal track. I really love the ending, really cool major sounding progression that adds some nice flavor from the intro in the song.

the lead vibrato riffs, whammy, are killer. Love the pinch harmonics sounds! your lead guitar tones is kickass. nice sharp distortion on the rhythm guitar, it is plain sick. drums are really killer too, like the double bass parts. very nice solo as well, sounds very metallicaish. could have been longer.

I cant give any complaints on you nailing the composition, because you played it perfectly. you even added your nice little touches, which is necessary for a true remix. the only complaint is that your lead guitar volume levels are too low, especially during the solo. you scuplt this track a bit better, but everything sounds nice and clear.

great job dude, I loved it. keep up the A grade work!

[Seven Down Loop]

sounds like it was made in FL

you will hear this term quite a bit if you use the synths in FL without tweaking them a bit :P
it doesnt sound too bad, but you can tweak this up a bit. the drum samples need some better EQing, or just throw them out all together. also try to experiment with more FX. the bass sounds too generic, and the higher end synth that sounds like its going through a tremelo filter is too trebly and hurts my ears, i had to turn down my speakers. also, put your music through a light compressor as well when your finished.

this loops reminds me of any empty baseball field at night...the FL slayer loops sounds alright, it has a dreamy melody. dont know if I like the drum beat that much. the later half of the higher pitched synth melody, sounds pretty cool. the bassline is pretty cool. weird loop O_o...also the two melodies kinda clash together, but whatever.

so, focus more on mastering and mixing the track. your composing is pretty good.

also, why dont you upload some stuff with real instruments as well? please dont quit FL or other eletronic music by any means, its a great skill to have and skills will come in time. but some music with actual instruments would be nice a nice listen as well.

keep up the good work!
