bahstrike's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Yo state of mind]

the break sucks terribly, but some of the lyrics are funny and flow is there. overall not gonna see it signed but not bad all the same

doomshock responds:

feeeeel you bra, ill learn

[_-Speakeasy-_]

you could bring EPIC up a lot if those dub synths had some chorus/flange to bring stereo fullness, and don't lowpass em so much- the only high frequencies i hear are from the piano.. (not even the hats sound crisp). i think the musical component of this is 4/5 but the postproduction is 2.5/5

Cimba responds:

Thank you for reviewing! Now that I take a second look, the highs are a bit bare. And the sound in general could do with some filling out. Very helpful!

[I Want to Believe]

quite nice, uplifting! try to soften up background piano during latter melodies

SuperGoodSound responds:

yeah, i have some new headphones i'm using - and i'm still acclimating to them

[CFB:ABMR - Main Theme]

very nice work sir- complex but yet intertwines beautifully!

Deathmerc3 responds:

I appreciate it. Thank you for the review. :)

[Return from Nowhere]

enjoyed it! bass and backings are really nice and the main melody is a good tune but it's too loud! id much prefer more of a flute or feminine sound that melds into to the wonderful background

Rabone responds:

Oh! Thank you! I put that VST to be more like a video game song... so! That's ok! HAHA =)
Thanks!

[Hype as in Hyphy]

hm, getting there

getting there but still a long way to go ;)

1) last poster is right, that cheap synth is out of place; choose something a little more flowing, a little Release would help wonders! and some lowpass to get rid of that high pitched twinge

2) the cymbals NEED to be replaced by a bright hat with quick decay or a ride (either one needing highpass and decent Q to make them ticky or splashy)

those two would do a lot, but theres style and potential here

[Newgrounds theme FUNKY !]

cool man

that was pretty shibby :D

Gorekiller responds:

...Hey, thanks, mate ! I made it in 1 day, indeed. I would like to thank all Newgrounds' staff for bringing more features ! That's why I made this song for them ! But I don't except to be God for that. I did it just for fun. Thanks !

[first beat i ever made]

shitty, but good first

the samples in the beat are good.

the synths are absolutely awful though, consider sound fonts or a different generator.

this is good for a first and i mean that. its not something i'd want to download and listen to, but given a year or two of practice i probably will.

[Metal Groove Loop]

good for starting out

i respect you for not dumping in a bunch of samples that came with FL and calling it your own, although it would have been easier to do so.

even though this is simplistic and very short, it still speaks with feeling, at least a little. if you would like some tips and tricks to making full sounding tracks and custom beats send me a message on NG with your msn/aim/whatever.
