EctiBot's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Solitude]

Really liked it :D. The melody is very fluent. I like how you vary it up as you go :D.
Feel like there could have been some more dynamics in this though. I reckon you played this live?
In that case I think you should try to build up the velocity by hitting the notes harder and weaker at times to build it up and down a climax, if you know what I mean.
This track could be cool to used in a game like minecraft. I feel like it's very simplistic, but that's not a bad thing at all :). I actually like that it's so simplistic :D.
Great work ;).
4 stars.

MockOff responds:

Nah, none of this was live but I think that means I am doing a good job with my VSTs! But yeah, I understand what you mean. I probably should have varied up the dynamics a bit during the repetitions.

Thanks for the comment! I do love to do minimal & simplistic tunes so I glad you liked that aspect.

[Cotard Deluded]

Loved the mix between jazz and rock. The riffs are epic :). Really some amazing ideas in here :D!
5 stars.

[Dreaming Of a Better Tomorrow]

You're right to be proud of this one :), Really liked the groovy feel of it
The melodies are pretty swell and I love the drums and synths used.
I didn't really feel that wobble near the beginning. I think it was a good idea to put a wobble there, but I didn't like how that wobble sounded. It sounded a bit off compared to the rest of the synths. You could maybe eq it a bit better to fix it, but I would change it out with another wobble. it might also just be that I think it's too loud. Other than that I enjoyed the rest of the track. The drum part was pretty cool, but I felt like it could have been varied up a bit. For a long time it's the exact same pattern that's just repeating itself. Maybe change up the pattern once in a while? You could also add a sub bass at that part to keep up the interest, but that's a matter of taste.

Overall I liked the track. It has it's faults, but I still enjoyed listening to it for the most part, and that's the most important :),
4 stars.

I appreciate the feedback. Im working with a very limited software at the moment so its a little hard to do some of the more advanced things but hopefully soon ill get something a little better :) Hope youll follow me! :D

[Sahara]

Interesting track :). I liked the lead synth very much. I feel like it could use a tiny beat more reveb though, but that's no big deal. The melodies was amazing, and I really liked the originality of the track.
I must say was a bit disappointed at the drop around 1:45. Wish you added a more punchier kick after the buildup. As it is now the drop is kinda weak, and that's too bad with such an amazing buildup :o.
Overall I liked the track very much. At some parts the melody could have been varied a bit more I feel.
I like the arrangment of it as well :).
I find few faults with this track, and I really like it.
Keep up the good work :D

[Into The Blue]

The first thing I thought when hearing this was that it reminded me of a thunderstorm, so I was surprised to hear that you made this during one :o. Takes skill to be able to convey an image in music, and you've done it pretty well here. I feel like the track could use a little bit more variation, but as it's ambient it dosen't really have to be more varied. You did a great job with the dynamics and the sounds :D.
Keep up the great work :D!

Homin-B responds:

First off thanks for the comment. I was in the process of adding more variation but decided just to keep the track at around 2 minutes so it doesn't sound repetitive. Although I probably could of added more variation still, but it's done now and it is what it is.

[Over the River]

Most happy and fun track I've heard. It's absoluty amazing and just smells of a pure genius :D!

larrylarrybb responds:

Thanks!

[Dr. Probotdick]

Awesome :D. I wish that the bass was a bit heavier, but I really liked the melodies and the feel of it. With a heavier bass it would be a perfect game boss track :D!

Kreyowitz responds:

Yeah, I messed with this thing so damn much, when the bass was heavier it drowned out certain some parts of the leads, and a bunch of crap wasn't working together.

But I guess that what I get for being out of practice for like, half a year.

Lol, I wrote this super hyper and long review before you took this down, but just to say the same in a few words:
Awesome synths, Awesome melody, I love this, one of the best (if not the best) I've heard on here this year. This is awesome, seriously o_O. I'm totally raving to this, and this is my 5th time listening to it :D!
Great work, seriously. Well, I think I'll continue to rave to this for an hour or two, so cya.
I hope to be at your level someday X3.
Followed, faves, and subbed :D!

Dj-Waffel responds:

Thx :3 Yea I edited the first drop cause it didnt fit into the whole track.

[- Sundawn -]

Sry this blew my mind. No srsly it totally blew my mind o_O. This is so epic that it's hard to describe how epic it is. Seriously, I'm raving to this track in my living room. The synths are AMAZING, the arrangement is ASTONISHING, and the melodies always made me cry because they were fairly to awesome for my fragile for my fragile ears o_O. HOLY S**** Now this part at 5:00 comes. 2 sec. Gotta rave for a bit, *Raves, raves, raves, raves*. This is awesomeness. Really that's all I can say. The Mixing and mastering is perfect. Believe me, I don't use that word often in reviews.
This song had me shaking by the end of it. Thus I managed to somehowed miss the 5 when I was going to rate this and hit 1 instead =_=..... Sry man. Don't let it bring you down. It was only me being an idiot :(.
This level of talent is seriously something I hope to achieve in the future, but I'm not anywhere close to making awesome songs like this :O!
Lol, it's been some time since I've written such a hyper review XD. It was just that awesome.
I'll make sure to rate this five, which it absolutely deserves" for the next week or so to make up for my mistake.
Seriously, keep up the amazing work. Listening to some of your other music right now and it throws me out of my seat :O!
Followed, Faved and subbed.

[Love]

Really like the atmospheric feel of this :D. It would go really well in a game :). I liked how you varied small parts through out the song. It kept my interest up. I wish, that you would, instead of just fading all the instruments in at the begin, would add one instruments at a time just to buildup the song. As it is know, there's only a climax and no buildup to that climax. Add a proper buildup, and this track will be near perfection :).

Digiguy responds:

Thank you! Yeah I've always had issues with starting songs, but I feel like the endings are usually competent. I'll spend more time on that in the future.
