Rucklo's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dark Heaven]

Great song...

...it´s really something I´d like to hear on the clubs. Excellent marrangement, great quality... well, this is simply kickass music, mate! More music, please! :)

[J Marsh - That High Up]

This has to be...

...one of the best dnb songs i´ve heard on NG. I really love the baseline, it´s awsome.
This feel really pumping, it would go great in a game of a fast nature, or a space shooter like raidenX, Raptor or whatever! Great job man, it´s a clear five!

Doc-Marsh responds:

Thanks a lot. I appreciate the compliments.

[Forbidden Love-Metaljonus]

Really really nice...

...stuff man. This is sweet and tender, like a love story.
I´ve heard your guitarplaying and you really really rocks at that.
However i htink you should reconsider what things are standing out in the mix. The piano got wquite long back, while the guitar was forward all the time. Altering to show whats important at the moment throughout the song would be a good idea. When the guitar is more of a backing instrument, bring it back some.

Other than that ill have to say this is really really good stuff man! Loved it when you brought in the diste guitar. Cool as hell! Good job!!

Metaljonus responds:

Thanks man, I don't know if you are talking about the rhythm guitar or the lead melody??? I did notice the rhythm is pretty loud when the strummin sets in.

[Rise of the Machines {Loop}]

I really liked...

... the feeling of this song man. it´s got an infections sound, that i think you should try take further. There are a few things that interrupts the flow, the hihat is questionable, specially when it goes to double hit, it just doesnt feel right. I love the effects u added, but you really gotta try filling up some parts that got a little quiet, in between the effect (towards the end). Some filtering or other automated effect will take care of that, no worries.

Like i said tho, i relaly like the overall sound, its raw stuff i wouldnt mind dancing to on a rave or so.
I agree what -zenon- said about panning tho, keep low freqq sounds mono, and loud sounds mono. Panning is great, but it have to be balanced....

Great job tho!

itsameyayo responds:

Thanks!

Yeah, I'll have to ask for some help from people to learn more stuff. I also have to get more samples, and learn to make more. It's a learning experience, and I don't have all the time in the world to work on this all the time unfortunately. Thanks for the review!!!

[AGITATED WubWub Caterpillars!]

Hey...

...this shit was really cool! I really liked the synth work, but please remove that voice sample, it really sucked.
Also, i´d expect this song to go crazy in usuall dnb breakbeat style, but yiu kept the beat slow around 90bpm style o to say, instead of going loco with a fast and fat breakbeat. I thought this sinse its liste int dnb section, but hey nevermind that. I still think the song is really cool. Great (synth) job.

jasonlaurie responds:

thanks for the advice. i didnt put much effort into this song really, I was just expirementing with new syth effects. but i took your advice and im working on a better version. -cheers

[Piano Piece OP #1]

This sounded...

...alot like it could come from a movie. I rally like the piano riff, it was caged yet free, so to say. Uhm...
Could be my ears, but it feels like theres a little too much resonance on the first note thingy, it got a little too high for me anyway. Thats just me being picky tho :)

Great work anyhow!

orange-peel responds:

Cage but free eh, nice:) I think you might be right in the fact that the single note is a little high in the mix.
Thanks for reviewing.

[insomniac's dance]

nah man...

...things are out of rythm, and it sounds like a couple of random tunes in different tempo glued together with low effort.

i dont know what you use recording your songs, but obviously you are using a midikeyboard. There´s something called "quantizising" wich is a feature to get notes magically in place to get it tight. learn how to use it. Also, it doesnt sound like youve been using a metronome to get things tight, check the metronome out as well.
This is just way to random the way it is. There are some of the small riffs that could be pretty good, but as it is now? nopes...
sry man. :(

hope this is to any help of ya tho. Good luck!

heather-lanham responds:

hmm...thanks! i'll remember to do something about the rifts of the next song, when i did this, i had no idea what i was doing, i was just putting random crap together. since i didn't know what i was doing, i was unable to edit it properly. i'll probable remove this thing from the portal today.

[Dream of a Gangsta Nigga]

This shit...

...I like!
Who are rapping?
Anyway,this is good shit, i have no idea what´s been sampled, what have been made by you, i do hear there are loads of samples involved tho... no synht-work here, huh.
Thats cool tho, as long as you can back it up with being allowed using em all.

Very uplifting to hear some real rapping on NG tho, nice stuff indeed!

Keep it up.

[WC > Going Home]

Nice song...

...it kindof gets me to think of some experimental french video... i guess its the main ssample, the one who start the song that does it.
I love it when the beat comes in, the boom-basedrum fits really really nice in the mix there. However, when the subbass comes in, it eats wayy too much headroom, and destroy the sweet booom i earlier mentioned. perhaps you should have had the subbass not playing full notes, and in better conjunction with the "booom".
Anyway, this is really cool. The beat is nice and sits tight. Ugh that subbass really do take over too much :(
anyway, i hear youre using reason wich aint that good... the "sproing" effect that starts fast and gets slower does it.that mod shape is very typical reason-sounding, if u catch my drift.

Othervise, this is a very experimental track, and id love toe hear some rapping and/or skratching on top of it, it´d be really awsoem! keep up the good work mate!

StrangeEncounters responds:

Thanks for the review! Rapping? Meh, I don't like it.
