killamnjaro's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-[PK]- High Volume]

Wide eyed...

I got home today, and came to newgrounds to listen to some music. I was going to go listen to some F-777, but then, I say you PMed me with the news that you finished the song. I think to myself, "oh cool ill check it out then head over to F-777." But after listening to this... F-777 is good... but this is A-freakin'-mazing. Yes, i am saying i would rather listen to this than F-777. you my friend, are amazing and put me to shame. Just a few questions, do you record your own audio (IE the "this is to be played at high volume") and what synth do you use (sytrus, nexus, 3x Osc, wasp) and how long have you been making music?

WoW.that means so freaking much!!yes i do record my own audio,i use alot of nexus mainly, every now and then i use some pre installed sounds. alot of filters here and there.and i started making music on 03/31/2010.but thank you so much. :D
ive never taken any music classes or anything and i don't know how to make my own sounds :( because i teach myself everything.all i can say is to make something good,first you really must want to then practice.

[Sound of Infinity - F-777]

Ablsolutely perfect

This song is just as good if not better than your Chinese dance machine series. I could not wish for more, it is the perfect length. I would like to know how you made the finally, I can tell you added some reverb along with raising the pitch, but what else? Either way, the ending still gives me chills. (it kind of sounds like megaman)

[Speedbreaker - F-777]

Absolutely amazing!

with the FLP, are you not able to open it or are none of your external sounds not working IE, kicks, claps, fills, anything in the pack section?
anyway, I freakin' love your music, how do you come up with your melodies? I've been making music since, well i got FLStudio on new years day 2010 so a few months and i still have to force melodies out of my head, even when i really want to start a new song. A bit of insight would be awesome.

The critical Review

Since the difference between the original remix (paradox) is your addition to the vocals, this review will be void of anything other than your vocals.
Pros
- like the rest of your music, the fact that there's a vocal track at all is amazing.
- You don't over auto-tune like most people do.
- It Fells like you and Basshunter recorded together. It is seemless.

Cons
- At some points in the song, your voice is distorted, i would reccomend lowering the volume of the melody a hair.
.... that's really all i can think of... amazing job!

When i listen to this i get this image of you as sandra and and Hilden as Basshunter, it makes the song that much more powerful.

AisareneMusic responds:

Thanks :D
I always love your reviews, they're so thorough. And ha, I wish I recorded with Basshunter, I'd be so honored. Though, I really can say I detest Lauren Dyson's voice, so maybe if Basshunter picked me to sing with, I'm not that good after all! ;)

[Now you're gone remix (demo)]

COME ON! at least try.

your synth is waaaaaay too loud, there's too much distortion. Your melody seems a bit slurred. to help with the song, i would try to find the vocals to go along. I would go on with more advice, but you don't really seem to by trying, so ill just stop with this.

Newgroundings responds:

okay, first, im 14. Yeah, and i dont know fl studio much, i dont use the mixer, the advanced stuff, all i use is piano roll and the volume thing. 2. i WAS trying, its hard finding the notes yourself using letters on your keyboard. i know my synth is too loud, i cant fix the distortion, and i only put this out on newgrounds so i can download it onto my ps3

[Melody from Heaven]

A raver's slowdance

This song is absolutely brilliant! Words can not describe how happy this song makes me. This is the song that is played at Techno High's prom as the slow dance.

[Spudmuffinman - Tetris Remix]

Very nice

You got my 5, but not my 10. I wish there were parts where you picked up the song just a hair more. I also think the 2 second pause at :58 is too long, you should shorten it to about a half second pause, or maby a second long pause if you had a reverse cymbal or a drum-roll.

spudmuffinman responds:

Thanks for the review. Yeah, I guess you're right about 0:58. I enjoy getting advise so I can improve my music, to become a better composer. Thanks again. :)

[Tetris'ed demo]

eh....

You really NEED to add percussion, without it, this song is very dull. While i see you rely on synth alone to carry the song, it just doesn't work very well, you did pretty good without it, but it could be SO much better with it. At 1 min, the song did pick up in a cool way, but again, without percussion, it wasn't as good as it could have been.

~DJ Majaro

soopergamerdude responds:

Thanks for the feedback, i am working on the percussion and the intro off-beat screw up, And i didn't intend to leave it as is. I know that is sucks w/out percussion, But again, i'm working on it. and thanks again for the feedback.
