Steven-Polley's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Aero Supremecy]

keep trying

You'll get there. Synthesized guitars sound cheesy. And the kick drum is way too heavy, as you'd said.

I recommend you check out some tutorials on mixing, and understand the concept of sonic space.

ninjex15009 responds:

Just because its aero supremecy doesnt necessarily mean that the flight has to be faster than the speed of sound, but i'll get on those tutorials

[~EnV~On Da Move!]

Envy responds:

[-ganon95- Basshunter DOTA Remx]

Every single one of your songs

Sound very midi-ish. There is no originality in them what-so-ever. 4/10 for the drums, automation and delay.

I recommend you learn how to patch some synths. Trust me, your songs will sound so much better, because you can have a sound in mind, and just create it. Because I'm not going to lie, your patches don't go good together, they're presets. And the mixing is god awful. I would check out some EQ tutorials, and effective reverb etc... (after you learn how to use a simple subtractive synth).

Remember, reviews are supposed to be constructive, so I focused entirely on the negatives.... BTW, I'm a huge fan of Basshunter.

2/5

ganon95 responds:

ill have to check that out, and yes these are presets because i am having problems finding other sounds to use, everyone tells me to google sounds but i keep coming up with nothing

[Uptown (Loop)]

Nice job

Very legit sounding, I can see it being used in a lot of flash projects actually. The only problem I see, is that the bass is very rumbly. Almost a constant hummmmmm. Which has no energetic "uptown" impact on the audience (me) really.

djInTheDark responds:

It was ment to a pad more than anything else honestly.

Thx for the review,

[We Are Lost (full Vocals)]

Pretty noice

I usually listen to house, and this is no exception.

Since it is 11:22 AM I am not going to give a full review for I am not tired.

Alright, first off your kick seemed a little bit... thin. Like it had very little low end to it. It wasn't *thumping* enough.... you know? House kicks need to especially be thumpin' Nothing that a little careful multiband compressor couldnt' fix.

The hats, I loved personally, they were so clean, the whole way through, even as you started bringing in more and more sounds as the song progessed.

I'm not a huge fan of the ambient-house stuff, more so the stuff full of action, but for what it was it was good.

The vocals were 1337. Not even kidding. They did seem a little out of place, especially with a higher voice, but for what they were it was great.

Good job!

statueofdiveo responds:

sweet

[My Bass Growls--_--]

Noice.

The bass seemed really dry. Perhaps through on some more reverb.
The beat was nice though.

PERVOK responds:

Never put reverb on a low frequency :O

[six pages :one ripped out]

A little bit random

There was hardly anything musical about this at all. It sounds like you threw something random together, recorded yourself talking and threw some effects on it.

Spend more time on your songs maybe.

afuckingname responds:

it is about the lyrics,
