[(8-Bit) Eye Of The Tiger]

8 bit awesome.

Fantastic man. Reminds me of Ivan Drago Freedom Fighter.

Rofl never would of thought

[TSH - Under_Judgement]

Not bad

You got a very garage so cal sound going on, its not bad.

My main complaint is with that keyboard lead, its too far up in the mix and although pretty at times it gets a little annoying. If it were tighter and a bit lower you'd have a real quality track here.

Keep at it, I'd like to hear more.

EOVotes4Pedro responds:

thanks, dominimous! thank you for your critisism and i'll be sure to work on it!

[Whore on Newgrounds Today]

Now thats funny.

Sorry for the late review but I did take a good listen.

The toms are awesome when they kick in at the beginning but when the guitar kicks in it sounds like you've panned the bass to the left a bit. It sounds good in head phones for separation but when I listened to it in my car the bass gets buried by guitar and vocals. It might strengthen it if you keep it in the middle and just focus on panning the back up vocals.

I love the guitar tone you've got going on there. Hehe I think my ears are about the reverse of yours I would have liked a little more bass in the eq.

The back up vocals really really work. I like how they fill in the chorus.

Lead vocals seem a little dry but it doesn't take away from the song at all. A little extra reverb might take away from the style.

All in all really good tune it made me laugh especially the mix some fruity loops and electronica line. Keep it up man.

jnry3 responds:

Hmm... yeah, I should've kept the bass at center (panned it around 20%; the guitar is at the opposite side... bad idea, hehe).

The back vocals are already panned at 60% on each side. Maybe I should pan more?

Hehe, lead vocals do need more bass EQ and reverb. And more bass EQ'ing to the guitar... got it.

Thanks for the excellent feedback! Greatly appreciated man! ^_^

[Madison-classno-the Original-]

Nice hehe

Awesome, I appreciate the throwback even though it caught me a little off guard. This version is really good. You've turned the idea in to a song and did really quite well with it. This is quality work man I really can't get over it. Out side from quirky artistry you could probably market this. Video game, commercial even if you wanted to turn this in to a classical DJ set it would really work.

Ok now I wanna hear you remix The Blue Danube.

therottenmentos responds:

I'll see what i can do with that musical. I'll work on it sometime this week.

[I Shouldn't Fall In Love]

Wow

Thats some real musicianship. The piano is awesome and you have a really good voice. I didn't expect that with some of you're other submissions. Granted that the song is a little hokey before the meat of the song kicks in and I was a little disappointed when the whole thing ended so suddenly. You should really post on garageband.com Over there it's mostly musicians you'll definatlly get some love.

jnry3 responds:

Hey thanks again! ^_^ Well... voice still needs work (self-taught; still learning). Regarding the structure of the song, if you follow the lyrics, it's a build-up of tension and confusion. The ending is open-ended. You may interpret it as a resolution or further confusion or despair.

I'll give that site a try, but I'll work on my vocals first before posting there. Again, thanks a lot!

[Cramoisi -loop-]

Remix?

Did you remix this from a crystal Method song? It sounds really familiar. If not good capitalizing on the style. Its really good.

Winterwind-NS responds:

naw its not a remix but this is kinda something what they would make
thanks

[Polaris]

Ooh

I really like those drums. Real chull groove you've got going on there. Outside of the rhythm it's a really minimalist vibe you've got going on. It's cool. The scratch is a good touch too. Where did you get that from?

Thattixx responds:

Glad you liked it! Made the scratch with FL Wave Traveler from some sample in a random hip hop kit with some guy sayin "keepin it real". I basically just scratched that phrase up a bit : D

[Rain Down]

Crunchy

Interesting tone on the guitars really crunchy kinda like slip knot. There's a click in there thats kind of annoying. I don't know if thats part of the drum track or if you're peaking somewhere but if you render it again that may be something you wanna look at fixing. All in all its a good tune. I really dig the back up vocals they fit into the mix. The ping pong delay is a bit disorienting especially if you listen to music in head phones like I do. The effect is cool but if you can tone down the panning. It takes away from the musicianship when you have to deal with the helicopter effect.
I like the showman ship with the rain noises and the sample at the beginning. Keep it up I can tell you guys took a lot of time with this. I wouldn't mind hearing more.

CWN responds:

Working on a remix, especially concentrated on the drums. The clicking is actually the bass drum, with no bass in it or something. The new raw mix sounds a lot better. Also removed the panning, as it was starting to annoy me as well!

Thanks for the review!

[Journey of a Kite]

Wow

That bass is awesome, really really awesome. I like the lead guitar parts too. The whole thing sounds epic, I like it man good job. The only complaint I would have is that it may be a bit busy at times but it still seems to work. You did a really good job on programming the drums. I usually tend to hold back on that aspect cause when it comes down to it I'm not good at it but you really pull it off in this piece.

jnry3 responds:

Hey thanks! Compliments like this make all that work feel worth it (especially if it came from an NGAP artist whom I respect). ^_^

I agree that it becomes busy at certain parts, and I have to say it's the hardest part to coordinate in the track (and, for me, the most fun to listen to).

Try playing Percussion Freaks or Drum Mania (if you have that in a video arcade in your town). It opens your mind to new beats.
