SineRider's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-=LJC=- Atonal Rythmic Noise]

keehee

"Atonal Rythmic Noise" haha I love that title. Quite like the title says, it resembles the actual song.

Starts off nice and simple. Then the drumbeat completly goes wtf on me lol. I have no idea what the hell you did the get that noise. But actually reminds me of an artist I had been listening to lately called BT.

I guess only thing I wished was there was more of a melody or something. But kick ass as it is.

LJCoffee responds:

Never heard BT - I'll have to look into it a bit. - thanks a ton -

I've also reviewed your latest.

[Opeth - To rid the Disease]

Great

Opeth happens to be one of my favorite metal bands. This is an amazing cover. Definitely has professionals sound to it.

The vocals were very well done. The other instruments were great as well. Well I don't have much to say, because it was good.

Thanks for your vote, SineRider! You voted 5 for Opeth - To rid the Disease, raising its score from 3.80 to 4.00.

-SineRider

Slayer-of-trolls responds:

thanks alot! we spend ages on it so it's nice that at least a few people thing it's not terrible...

[Depths of Darkness]

Great

This is really good, especially for your first song. It really had a nice chilled sound to it. It loops pretty well too.

It starts off nice. The background pad had a really wide sound to it. The bassline was nice. The drums were rather interesting. Kind of trance sound to it mixed with glitchy sounding samples.

I don't have much criticism for you. But definitely try and work on having more dimensions in your music. For example, this song you may want to add a lead and harmony.

Overall good work for your first. I hope to hear more.

-SineRider

Claxor responds:

Thank you :)
I'll try to have more dimensions in my song next time :D

In fact, I'm getting my hands on a keyboard in a few days, so that'll probably make it easier for me to add leads and stuff :), writing music with the mouse is a pain :P

[Karco -- Lost in Time --]

I likey

This really had a chilled feeling to it. It is sort of like house/ambient sound to it as well.

It starts off rather nicely. A nice arping synth. But the drums sort of surprised me. Personally, I think they need some eqing and maybe some reverb. You also should try and change them up a bit. Different patterns you know.

The bass was actually quite bassy. My desk was shaking a bit. But against all the other instruments, the mix started to get a bit muddy. Try some different final eqing on the entire song, or just turn the bass down somewhat.

The bell lead synth was cool. Kind of loungey sound to it almost. There are some nice melodies and harmonies.

You seem to get most of the instrumentation and melodies down pretty well. Just work on a more interesting drum pattern and eqing the song.

-SineRider

Karco responds:

Yeah, the bass could have used some work... it was the main cause of my lack of clarity, but I unfortunately didn't know how to fix that.

I thought I could have changed up the drums, but I was afraid of changing the atmosphere of the song. I'll try to at least experiment, next time, before making that assumption. ;)

Thanks a lot for the review. Much appreciated.

[DjRoxx-Weekend Has Come RMX]

hmrrm

Well, it was interesting. I personally didn't like the vocals. They were a bit annoying to me. I've never heard the original. But I'll assume it kicked ass.

Well it wasn't exactly original, or anything really new. But there was some nice glitch work on the synth at one point. The melody was good.

The synth sounded a bit detuned to the vocals. The bass was fine. The drums need a lot of work though. The bass kick is too loud. The lap is too quiet. Some more hi-hats would be nice too.

Some mastering to the drums and vocals would be good. They would blend much better and sound alot smoother.

Keep working at it man and you'll get it

btw I'll 5 you because of the 0 voter -)

-SineRider

EchozAurora responds:

thank ya much
I'm not really done with it yet, but I figured I would submit it to see what kind of feedback I could get on it.
It was my first attempt trying to remix a song using just vocals, so I'm glad that it isn't entirely terrible at least.
I think it is still missing something, I'll probably resubmit it whenever I figure out what it is... and as for mastering, I need to get a new set of headphones or something, because it seems like only luck whenever I master something right.

[[snayk] the frail]

How strange

A couple months ago, I had a try at this song. I love the simple piano melody of the original. Its always been a favorite NiN song of mine.

Really interesting take on the song though. I love those background sounds around the end. Very NiN like eh?

Its too bad you didn't really do a lot with the melody, but it is perfect as it is :D

-SineRider

snayk responds:

Heh, thanks.

Yeah, I really didn't do much with the song. I basically just redid it, for my own purposes; I wanted to remake it, and Nine Inch Nails is my favorite band.

Perhaps in the future I may do something more to it, but I love how it came out anyway.

Thanks for your words :)

['''the Doom song (remix)''']

Doom

Before I start this review I have to say this is my 200th review!! yay for me

Well this really made me laugh. It is good that you were able to add comedy to a serious track. Gir is the shit, why did they cancel that show?

Very interesting use of the samples. Thy actually mixed rather well with the song. Interesting drums and synthlines.

The glitch effects on the vocals in the beginning were very cool.

It could be mastered a bit better. There was some clipping and it seemed a bit low quality. Some of the drums and bass parts didn't really mix too well. Other then that it was funny and cool song

Keep it up man

-SineRider

attemptedperfection responds:

congrats on your 200th review! I'm honored to be the recipient. Glad my remix made you laugh.
Thanks for the review!

[-[ DC Undercore (DSMix) ]-]

Needs some work

This has a lot of potential, but definitely needs some work done to it.

Well you seem to have some good drum patterns in there, but the samples weren't anything special. There seemed to be some odd velocity changes in there as well.

The melody is good, kind of evil lair sound maybe? But an "ew" sounding synth. The bass was fine, but could use a bit of amping... not too much >8(

I think there should be some kind of counter melody or harmony work in there. It will add a lot more depth to the sound of the song.

Fix up the mastering, extend and you could have a good song here.

-SineRider

DSMagnum responds:

I would go back and do more, but after listening to Redse7en's original version of this, there is no way I could make this near as good as that.

The drums were just w/e. There were some velocity changes. I thought they sounded cool.

I felt that the synth sounded fine. Maybe I should've worked on it more.

I actually turned down the bass a little because it was overpowering the lead and other parts.

Thanks for the review! I'll keep what you said in mind for my next song/remix.

[Tome89 - Gaze]

Mmh

Hello Tome, I see you got a new Eno style track. I really like your soundscape style. Very peaceful, and chilled.

Great sound coming from those pads. Simple and really effective. Stone in Focus style if you know what I mean.

I'm definitely putting this one on my ambient playlist. Great stuff man

-SineRider

Tome89 responds:

Eno style :D that's nice
I never heard more than Music for Airports though

I find it somewhat similar to Lichen by Aphex Twin :)

Reviewing made me happi :3
Thanks SineRider!

[-[ OMGZZZZZZ ]-]

sucks

really sucks <3 5d

DSMagnum responds:

You just don't like Gabber. :P

Yeah, I wasn't too serious with this. I'm rarely ever serious with anything I submit to NG unless it's a remix. :D
