axeFX responds:

Thatd be swell, however ive almost beat it by now

[Helth & MH16]

MMmmm...

Damn, nice work with your drums, those fills kick ass. great job! I would have liked to see a little more variation in the rhythm or progressions or something to hold your listeners attention. Funk songs you would usually make slight variations on your chords in the progressions, little ones though so you can barely hear the change. You guys did a steller job on the drum fills and ghost notes etc. really fits the funk genre.

good submission
5/5

[Wasteland Groove]

Really good for something that isn't finished

The more I hear the more I like it. I think your drums can use a little more definition, the sound kind of faded (but that's probably how you wanted it so just ignore that) try mixin up the hits on your ride and maybe add some bell ride hits too make it sound more realistic. That is it for the constructive criticism part.

I liked it a lot...The piano was cool, had kind of a jazzy feel to it. I like the key your in too, whatever it is. The spacey lead was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G added a great feel to the track. I'm falling asleep listening to this. keep up the good work, I'll be looking forward to the final version of this song. I actually took this review seriously too thats why I am giving you a nine and not a ten.

Peptotrippin responds:

In depth, I like that.

Thank you.

[[BK] I'm Yours]

Wow...

I can't believe I'm the first review! I have to say I think your stuff is amazing and I find the spaciness of this song to be incredibly entrancing. Keep up the work this one is by far my favorite song on newgrounds.

5/5 all day everyday

BroderKubrick responds:

Hey , thanks for the review. And I'll post whatever i can come up with ;D

[Shades of the lost - Mjattie]

Nice..

I thought is was awesome. It had a really creepy yet epic tone to it. I felt entranced by the song and all the pieces fell together nicely. The celesta thing that you brought in around 1:10 or so was cool. My favorite though was the pad you used in the intro. I don't know why but it kind of reminds me of Shpongle (pretty good band if you want to check them out) I liked pretty much everything about the song. I am sorry I can't give you any advice or criticism.

5/5

mjattie responds:

thank you. I'll check the band out in a day or so. I think it's good if there is no criticism XD but on the other hand I cannot improve but OK I thank you for your review :)

[Rig - Lochieloop]

There it is...

That was awesome, love the repeating lead. If you made this into a song that would be tight as hell. Did you mix or sample this or is this something that you made? Either way it's awesome, keep up the submissions they are great.

5/5

Rig responds:

Made it from scratch :D

[(NN) Determined Warr. Redx WIP]

Not bad yourself...

I thought the percussion was great, and the song would be really good with some better effects and samples on your wavs. Or if you could find some really good wav files to build you progressions with it would really create some good DnB music.

5/5

Nurren responds:

I think I get what you're saying. I'm fairly nooby to FL, but I'm trying :]
As for the bass loops, I know they need work. I'll see what I can do. :3

[Rig - I Love Cowbell]

This is something new...

I've never heard this kind of music, it's fucking crazy, chaotic, and all over the place. And you somehow managed to work the fabled cowbell into the song, simply amazing. Great song

[Waiting For Dawn]

Not to bad...

The song itself is pretty good, and progressions flowed moderately well. But the samples aren't too good, and you could have used filters and FX better. It was just a little too bland for me. Add some more variety to it and some good FX and filters and this song could be a really good one. other than the filters, FX, and samples it was a pretty good song, a lot better than most of the stuff on newgrounds.

5/5

Magik-Waffle responds:

Good advice. Much appreciated.

[Reasoner- Ticking Away]

Pretty Damn Good...

I am going to agree with Bjra on that the synths are loud at parts but the loudness felt necessary at parts I thought that the hats were a little to loud too. I forgive the massive compression, more mastering and this could easily be a top NG song. But damn the progressions and builds in the song were sweet! The beats as well, were right there with the progressions. nice submission, and if you change anything with the song please let me know.

5/5

Reasoner responds:

Glad that you enjoyed the trip. Everyone's making it pretty clear that the mixing could still use some work, but I'm glad you all are finding good things about it regardless
