[DjSvenzo-The Valley Of No]

Very chilled

As an ambient track, I can't find a single mishap with this track, I love it from start to finish.

It's about 1 am here, I'm sitting in the dark looking for some nice music, and this felt amazingly good when I listened to it. I love the vocal sample you've made this song around, and the delay on it, giving it that echo effect. The rhythmics section in the back keeps a steady and nice beat, with the piano popping in for a beautiful melody.

Amazing. 5/5 and 10/10

[Jolly is kool]

Yes, Jolly is cool

The vocals you used didn't really fit in, which annoyed me a tad.

The loop itself is quite simple, and indeed "jolly". THe loop seems to cut half a beat when it loops, though. I guess that might be NG's fault, but it usually adds half a beat, not cut it.

It's also quite repetitive, for a loop, even.

[Obey me!]

Haha

A bit quirky, maybe? More on the humorous side of things, especially with the vocal samples you used in it, the robotic and the child's one.

I really liked the beat, and the buzzed synths sounded really good. Extremely intense and high speed track, this. You could definitely make something really cool out of it if you made it longer, as long as you made sure it didn't become repetitive.

Now, if this is a loop, I'd say it looped well, but it's marked as a Song, so in that case, you should do something with the ending, which is quite weird right now, very abrupt.

Deserving of 100%

What an amazing track. I can't really find much to pick on here.

First think I can think of is that the intro was really well-done. I really like that you tried to incorporate percussion into such a techy track, you did it pretty good, but I really don't like the crash sounds, and the drum samples in general aren't the best for a track of this nature. Also wondering what's up with the sudden drop at about 0.55 and again after about a minute, and at 2.20?

Thinking of what this song was to be used to, it sounds really good. I can easily imagine this being in the background of a promotional video of sorts.

I see where you got the idea of air from, the melody is quite floating, relaxing. only thing keeping it from being a proper ambient track (IMO, of course, it's quite relative) is the fact that the rhythmics section is so powerful.

The fade-out, I'm not a big fan of, seems like a simple exit to a pretty nice piece.

Birdinator99 responds:

Those drops were to enhance the crescendos into the next section -- I feel like I don't do enough of that stuff, y'know? I think varying dynamics, used effectively, can make a piece more interesting. Whether or not that was accomplished here is up for debate, though. I'm just glad you noticed it, frankly!

As for the fade out, I think it was best for the video to end it that way, but I understand your view on it.

The drum samples -- I like 'em, but the crash is iffy in some spots I suppose.

I always appreciate your reviews, dude. Thanks very much!

[Montaj]

Very well-made

Great track, only one or two things I want to point out.

The rhythmics section is the hero of this track. Sounds great with a smooth beat throughout the song, pushing it forth, bringing that hip hop element into life. Seems like the kick quality is a bit off as the melody kicks in, some static right there.

The song is a bit repetitive, but it's not a huge problem, because the melodic synths are really well done.

Transitions are also very good. i don't like the fade-out at the end, for one you dragged it out a lot, and there's about 30 seconds at the end that's practically inaudible, and it's not the most original of ways to end a song.

But as I said, rhythmics, great, original, like it, pushes forward, synths in melody, a bit repetitive, not the best outro. Luckily, the intro is very good and makes up for that with a great and swift buildup.

Haha thanks a lot for the review!

[[dB] Incomprehensive]

Huh

Could've sworn I'd already reviewed this. Oh well!

Thing I love the most about this track? The vocal samples at the beginning. They sound so good, I really wish you'd used them more throughout the song, because right now, they do sound a bit out of place, considering you only hear them once. It'd be a 10/10 had it not been for that.

The composition in this track is pretty damn amazing. It pulses constantly throughout, it's got backing bass and great synth melodic lines, with backing synths. Rhythmics section is amazing, absolutely loving it.

Loving the fuzzy bass synth. Fits in well, and sounds great at the segment at 1.30, with the softer synths in the back. This is also a really great transition.

Not a huge fan of the fade-out ending, but I can't really think of a better way to end it myself. Great track nonetheless!

Decibel responds:

No, You didn't review, if i'm not mistaken =P

I didn't quite like the vocal samples for some reason, I just used them to fill out the intro, in fact they were chosen at random =P

Thanks a lot for the review mate =)

I'm not using Colin btw because I'm on some Azerbaijani Keyboard and I can't find the colins

[Do You Remember?]

Feel it

A very good track indeed. The ambience feels great, and I can't put it any other way than SCTE3, mellow.

Loving the melodic intro, only thing that somewhat ruins it for me there is the percussion, which feels a bit too sharp and loud. The tom-toms(?) that come in at about 0.55 sound great, very nice progression of the track.

The synths playing the back really builds up the main melodic track, which sounds great. You did real good on selecting a proper synth and the notes here.

Also not quite sure how I feel about the synths that come in at about 1.30, they don't really work with the ambient feel you've made so far, and sound somewhat off-key at times. Not sure how I feel about the guitar either. It's very well played, but it seems somewhat out of place with the mellow, laidback, relaxed feel of the rest of the song.

A really good track, a fade-out at the outro didn't sound bad and was probably the best thing to do.

Haha thanks.

[Animals of the woods (cover)]

Awww

Oh wow, I actually caught an episode of this while resting off my hangover yesterday. Man, hearing this here gave me the chills.

You did a real good job with this. The drums are simple and nice, both guitars, backing and lead, have a good sound, and you managed to recreate the song very well. Apart from some notes that sounded a bit off at about the 16-second mark.

Awesome!

Cheers

Evertvel responds:

Thanks, for the positive review. Indeed i listened to the song over and over again and at around 16 sec there's a bit with like horns or something, couldn't get it quite right on the guitar. But thx for the constructive criticism

[So Vanilla]

Oh so cheerful

What an amazing little loop! It would work great as a background track for a menu screen, without a doubt.

The loop is very well done, can't really hear any silence or any glitching unless I really try hard, and that's just the kind of jumps that Newgrounds cause.

I love your use of delay on the backing synths, gives the song some nice depth. The rhythmics are real simple, but sound great. Samples you've used are pretty damn crisp.

The high-pitched synth carrying the melody is also very good. Melody itself, very cheerful, which I'm guessing is kinda what you were going for. love it!

Cheers

Ir0nwoods responds:

Yupp, I agree with ya! Cheerful as can be haha. Thank you for your review :)

[Injex - Trapped]

Glitchstep?

This really sounds cool, should means omething coming from a dude that really can't stand most dubstep.

I really liked the ambient feel of the track, combined with the somewhat glitchy nature of the beats you put in. The piano notes played in the back throughout the song carries the melody forward, as the bass really fleshes the track out a bit, makes it less shallow.

I liked the addition of the vocal samples, at least I could swear I heard some. The high-pitched synths at certain parts of the song really worked out well as well.

Very good ending to the song, the abrupt ending really suited it.
