[Just Another Combat Loop]

Like it I doooo

Hey man, this was just plain phat man! Make more stuff like this! I´d love to see this loop in a fight/chase film sequence!

DJRunaway responds:

[Blue Monday (16-bit remix)]

yapp

This is, as usually with ur stuff, a good song! Totally agree with the last reviewer that the 16-bit-shit was awsome. Sounds like my old C64, actually, n what is there not to like there!?!
I do feel that i´ve heard the catch somewhere else before, I think it´s somthing by Depeche Mode, or something, not all the same, but quite similar.
Personally I think that u should have done something more with the drums. When the song is "up n going" it kinda gives me the feeling of "untz untz untz", it´s the basedrum that ruins a little of that. (i think it´s mainly in the catch...).
But still, this is awsome. Btw, what program do u use? FL5? if u use reason, i´d LOVE to get the settings for the 16-bit sound-ish thingy!

Keep up that goooooOOOood shit man!!!

crud responds:

commodore 64?? damn, that's some intense computer dorkage...I'm quite impressed! the catch? well the song is originally by New Order, covered by Orgy, and probably remixed by a ton of other people, but i still love it, so bassy and 80's, i couldn't resist
the drums, well right now i have nothing in the way of drum samples or anything, my fruity loops 4 (answering a different question) was installed all crappy and i literally have scraps to work with in the drums and samples department....but the 16 bit sounds were achieved by using those 'shapes' such as saw, triangle,sine,etc. that shaped the intial sound of any synth instrument, i went back to the basics and slowed them way down to be audible, making some awesome sounds. sorry, i dont own Reason, but if you wanna send me your copy i wouldn't protest ;) Merry Christmas! thanks for the present (the review)

[FAN - Trinity]

improving!

Hey FAN, U R totally gettin better n better! This is actually quite good! It´s not complex or sumething like that, but it´s... Good! It´s an adrimreable loop, that I hope u´ll make a full song, when u get ur freggin x-mas equipment :D
Good 1!

Fanta5t1c responds:

yea man ill be remixing an throw crap all over the place. i gotta say, i have come a long way

[Nothing can take this out]

hum....

I wonder if my speaker´s is about to blow, cause the whole song sounded really "broken". Well, anyway, if that´s ur mistake or my speakers, the song was quite good. Some of ur other stuff is actually MUCH better, but this one will pass :D
Liked those voices things, and the flute-thing had a good line that I totally liked. hmmm, maybe i´ve been a little rough on the score... :D

crud responds:

oh it's definitely blown by now...before, the beat actually used to have lots of blood overdrive and amplifying...but i almost died, so i took it off, thank god!...
I'm really glad people like yourself enjoy this one as much as myself...and if you need some money for new speakers I'll chip in :)

[*Dusk* (^Chilled Rebellion^)]

yeah

I haven´t listened to all that many of ur songs, but this is so far the outstanding winner. What I´ve heard before, I serioulsy didn´t like that much (have I listened 2 the wrong tunes? :), but this is totally something different. The intro ruled, when the song started, it just ruled.

It´s futuristicly dreamy, it gets u, well dreaming. Feels like 2009 or something, a near future... Hmmm I´m getting wierd and nowhere with this review. Great song, anyway. I´ll have to xplore more of ur stuff when I ain´t as tierd as now :D

ZeRo-BaSs responds:

"What I´ve heard before, I serioulsy didn´t like that much (have I listened 2 the wrong tunes? :)"
Yes! LOL u picked up 2 wrong tunes ^_^
Try to heard my stuff from "SOM - Rising Prophecy (12/04/2003)"
My first songs were a little lame but after Rising Prophecy my music grew up..really..give a listen man =D

[Apochrypha (Crud v.s. AaronR)]

Yapp

I´ve listened to lots of AaronR´s stuff, n really likes it, he´s a good boy.

U guys have uploaded different versions, though? Or am I that tierd that I hear stuff in this version that don´t exist in the one AaronR uploaded (and vice versa)?
Well, anyway, this song is a happieness-injection, n make´s me wanna jump around makin flips n stuff. I just might do that even...

Anyway, I think I´m gonna have to check ur stuff out more carefully. I´ve heard a few songs u made, n my ears liked it. At least my mouth told me so.

I guess this one goes out to AaronR too! Keep up the good stuff both of ya!

crud responds:

well i listened to the one on his page and then on mine and i REALLY cant make out any differences. still the same dancy song. Good to hear that you got a taste and you want more. do a flip or whatever

[FAN - Trance Matrix - Remix]

it´s better...

...but still not satisfying. I´m glad u acctually listened to the reviews on the original and tried makin it better!

SonicEclipse has got a good point in his review of the original, that music here on newgrounds originaly is supposed to be usefull for the flash artists here, but honestly, that isn´t the fact of how it works. I´ve made a couple of loops myself, but many ppl make serious music, not originally created for films.
Got of subject a little, sry...

This song is honestly not that different from the original, but I do like it better, it´s better "combined" or sumethin...
Keep on makin music!

Fanta5t1c responds:

yo man wuddup, garageband is really limited i mean very very limited in wat you can do. But, its the best i got, and im trying to do the best i can wit it.

Fer chsritmas im gitten cubase sys 4 that will lemme make somextreme stuffs so ill be remixin and makein new stuffs, but some of de stuff i made right now i tink is purty good, i dont think rating counts, moire downloads

Peace

[Heat Mon]

yeap

This was cool as shit. U could have made it even more rasta-paradise-island beat sounding, that would have been amazing. This sounds totally heremit crabish. And this was without question A-bot´s best in top 5, wtf was with the top 3 sub´s??????!!!!!

Bezo responds:

Thanks a lot dude. Holy crap, I made the top 5. :D

[DJ Runaway - I'm Just Lost]

yup...

This song lacks a lead instrument(singing:p), so when I´m simply holdin on the critisism ´til it´s completley done.
`bout the song itself, other than it lacks the "lead"; I think it´s good, and it could totally be awsome with that LEAAAD! :D Anyway, Isn´t this more techno than trance?

I hope u´ll submit the finnished song when it is!
Peace!

DJRunaway responds:

Thanks dude :) I know what you're talking about :) I have a demo with the voices (SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET!), but I gotte hit the studio to mix this one up good :) It's gonne be sweet :D

Thanks for the review dude,

DJ Runaway

[Progressive Echos]

aight

Just like the last reviewer thought, this should have bursted into some kind of beat, it could really be phat.
If u make a loop, try to make sure it actually loops as perfect as possible, don´t know what program u use, reason is very good for that anyway. If u do, someone who wanna use it n loop it in a flash animation, probably would b glad they don´t have to cut the loop themselves.
Keep it up!

j-e-s-t-e-r1 responds:

The Reson this dosn't loop properly is because In wav format this is over NG's 4000Kb limit and wav loops alot better netwise but with the Limited space i needed to incode in mp3 and i am unhappy with the results also this is something I cooked up in 15 minutes of pissing around since my keyboard ran out of batterys but enough complaining thats a bunch for the input I love to get any input I can since it helps me fix problems I can't see

BTW I use FL studio 5 And a USB Keyboard for Input but like I said it was dead during this Project

Thanks for the Review
