lilfozzy's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Qelaion - Saudade]

Wow, I was looking through my Reviews with Replies folder and saw you; I feel all nostalgic now.

By the way, that was one of the better intros to an ambiance song that I have heard on new grounds, especially with the longer 'fade-in.' Usually people fall into the trap of having a two through eight second long intro or a obnoxiously long minute and a half of white sound.

Qelaion responds:

ehehe I feel you; I really missed this place and its somewhat tight community, but I moved on to Soundcloud and stopped uploading here mostly due to the tedious uploading system and the lack of interaction with listeners. Thanks for sticking around, and thanks for the compliments <3

[Christmas and all that]

Wow, this is a vary well made song. I can tell some of the sounds you used could have been better made, but the way you blended them all together in such a way that I could ignore it vary easily. That made me enjoy this song vary much!

combatplayer responds:

thanks a lot!
the worst samples in the bunch are probably the cello ones and some of the percussion samples, where as the best would be the piano in the background. really need to get me a better sample library lol. FL doesn't come with much for non-techno music.

[TI:.Robot OrchestraRD2012]

I would give you more stars on this song, but, well, let me explain.

Problem number one: 1:25 to 2:06 was way to out of place, this is due to whatever sound effect you had that sort of jumped was absolutely over powering the entire section of the song, so much that I was about to just stop the song before I remembered that I loved the intro. (can't remember the name of the soundtrack) And it took me at least the entire time writing this review to get used to it.

Now I know you got some good reviews on this song, but that is from newgrounds dubstep regulars, and they are used to really heavy dubstep with almost no flow or rhythm. (sorry for the harsh review though, I really am a fan of your music)

the second problem was kind of trivial to most people, but to me, this song was a bit over cinematic for a standalone song if you know what I mean. does not matter really tho.

TIMarbury responds:

appreciate the honest review, i agree with most of it, it sounded empty so i threw in something and that's the best i could come up with. lmao

[So Sweet(TIMarbury Remix)]

This is a good sign that the dubstep genre on newgrounds is coming back from the 'no flow, nothing but drops' craze it has had in the last year. At least in my experience that is all I have mostly found on newgrounds for dubstep. So to the real review.

Great job, this is actually a really good sounding song. Only trouble I heard was that there was a sort of jump between parts like 2:56-3:01 that made it sound a bit like the song skipped a note or something. A bit repetitive here and there.

Also, that sample you snuck in at 4:37 was pretty nice, so good job!

TIMarbury responds:

thanks dude! gonna re-listen to the 2:56-3:01 part. might be a mistake on the mix percent of my glitch stuff

[- Push]

should have put it in miscellaneous then?

any way awesome job on the song, altho the intro was way to long

Or4nges responds:

Well it's got the bass, and the beat, so I figured it'd work best here. Also you have to be patient with this song. If I rushed the intro it wouldn't have had the same impact at the drop.

[ProdigalAudio - This Is Hacks]

pretty good.

I think the hip hoppish element was a good sound to add, but after the intro it became really repetitive for me.

I was also expecting the song to speed up at a lot of the points during the song, but I am guessing that is just me making assumptions based on the Newgrounds mainstream for the House genre

this was a pretty unique type of house song, or I just never listen to this sub-genre of house. Anyway good job, it sounded pretty good!!!

Also ... I am going to make a suggestion, and that is that I think this song needs more cowbell!!! lol. No seriously that might sound pretty good if you put it in at the right spots.

Qelaion responds:

Yeah I have to agree, I didn't put too much variation in the drum patterns because I got really lazy :P

And hmm... Maybe cowbell WOULD sound cool in some parts of this song... I'll think about it if I ever do a remake! :D

Thanks!

[ProdigalAudio - Imminence]

hmm

well the violin was nice, but I am going to be honest and say that it needed to echo a little more, it sounded rough, like when you press down a key to fast and it's not a piano's sound you have set, wind chimes might have helped cover up the roughness of the violin if you put them together.

anyway, good job, me like this, me want add to favorites, lol!

Qelaion responds:

I get what you're saying when you're calling it rough, sadly I couldn't really think of anything else to do for the strings section xD

thanks for the review man

[ProdigalAudio - Stung]

Not my cup of dubstep.

But I can't find anything wrong that is not my own personal opinion and preference in music and dubstep, I liked the beat and pacing around 2:00 from that point on it really came together into one song with a great flow, which I think is what the first half or so lacked.

'Opinion May Differ'

Qelaion responds:

Glad to see you're still taking flow and beat into matter, seems like everyone wants a wobble in place of a nice and clean synth :P

And I guess you're right, this isn't exactly what I would classify as dubstep myself, but there really isn't a breakbeat genre besides drum&bass on NG, so it was the closest thing.

Thanks for reviewing!

[ProdigalAudio - Intermission]

Pretty good intro, but it had some problems.

the first problem I noticed was with the intro, the base or whatever type of synth that is, was overpowered. The second was the bridge into the main song, you could have cut out 00:31 to 00:47, I could handle that sound for about 4 or 5 seconds, then it became obvious how out of place it became when it was alone. Also I loved that melody that started at 01:36, it fit really well into the song, and it made the song sound sort of like it was one instrument playing all those different tunes and tones, if you understand the feeling, I don't know how to explain it. the ending was satisfactory for me. So all in all I liked this song a lot, so keep up the good work.

I look forward to listening to your other songs, also 'Opinion May Differ'!

Qelaion responds:

Yay, a real review! :P

Yeah I see what you mean with the problems you pointed out, it's good to see someone's looking out for flaws. Glad you enjoyed listening to the song! xD

(Sorry if this reply seems kinda poorly written, I'm extremely tired :P

[- Platform]

incredible intro.

Well executed in all ways. it's a really awesome piece that deserves more then just second place or first place.

Or4nges responds:

Thanks so much! I think Weekly Top 5 is already honor enough, i'm content :)
