EctiBot's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Demonicity - EDM]

Not a bad idea at all. I liked the intro alot though I feel like it was a bit poorly mixed. All the frequencies just mashed together making it having a low quality sound. I liked what you did with the piano, the claps and synths before the drop but again the piano pretty much took over the synth's frequency so again I think it could have been mixed a bit better.

The drop was pretty well mixed though. I do actually have the feeling of hearing that same drop some other place but as I can't remember where it might just be some deja vu X3.
The drop WAS well mixed though I felt like it lacked the proper bass drop feel. It pretty much lacked a heavy hitting bass. Try checking out "Animals" by Martin Garrix. The sound he gets in his drops is probably what you want in your track.

What came after the drop was pretty much just a repetition of the first half except for some strings.
It would have been nice if you had changed up the melody a bit there just to make it more varied as it is now I pretty much got tired of the track after the first drop. After a drop you should try giving the listeners something unexpected like a totally new melody. That's what gives a track thrill and replay value.

Anyways it was a pretty solid track and if you fix the mixing issues it would definetly deserve a 4 but right now I'm afraid I only can give you 3.
I disagree with the incredibly low rating on this though so I'll rate it 5 just to bring it up to a more fair level.

Wow! Didn't expect finding something this awesome awesome in the unscouted artist list :D.
You got a great amount of talent. I loved the sounding of this. It was so incredibly peacefull and kinda made me think about minecraft X3.
I feel like the vocals could have been mixed a bit better though. Don't really sound that good with the rest of the track which might be fixed by doing a bit of Eq'ing but honestly I think the voice was too unclear for this track. I assume that they probably weren't recorded with a very good mic.

Anyways, great song. Though I think the vocals could have been better I still love this song and it definetly deserves a scout :).

Thanks mate :)
About the vocals, I recorded this a year ago, and I was most likely sick at the time of recording this. Kinda stupid to do so.
To the mic, I record my vocals with some karaoke mics I found in the attic. The mics actually don't sound like that, I just EQ'd it like that because it sounded nice, in my opinion.
Seriously though, thanks.

[Millenium]

Nice little loop you have here :). It's a really chill loop and I loved the instruments.
I found the "woap" sonund a bit annoying though and it could have been a little bit more varied as well.
I feel like what really makes a loop good is:
1. That I can't notice when the loop stops and starts. This really adds to the general flow of the loop. For me not notice that it replays itself the beginning and end should be simillar which I think you did a good job with here.

2. The loop should be varied enough so that I wont get bored. I should be able to listen through the loop at least five times without getting bored of it. If the looo is varied enough and has dynamics, I can listen to it for hours.

So overall I think it was a nice loop though a little bit boring. The drums were nice though and I liked the general feel of it so 3 stars.

[Ambiguous DnB RmX]

Been wondering if I should watch Kill la Kill or not myself. I might actually after hearing this X3.
Anyway this is awesome as always. I love your anime remixes :D. Always makes me want to watch whatever anime it is like with Attack on Titan. Seriously that was my favourite anime of all time and I never would have even heard about it if it wasn't for your remix :3.

Anyways, this is another epic remix from you and clearly deserves 5 stars :D.
Love your music :).

[Huge Monkey]

Not really cup of tea but I guess this just isn't my type of music.
I didn't like the general sounding of the track. It just sounded purely annoying and the guy who shouted really made my ear bleed a little. The track pretty much sounded like you had a one tone track and put a lot of distortion and gross beat effect on it though that's probably not what you did.

Though all that said there still are positive stuff in this track. As I said this isn't really my kind ofmusic so that's why I'm being so negative about it.
The percussion is nearly perfect for Drum N Bass and I can actually feel an emotion out of this track though it isn't a pleaseant one, it's an interesting one if you get me.

Sorry for not being able to go in more detail I didn't really like it because i generally don't like this kind of hardcore Drum N Bass music but still I think some lovers of this genre would love it so I'll give you 3.5.

[The Duty of The Magic Box]

I'm jamming to this :D. really nice sounds and I love the melody. I feel like the song is missing a bass sound though. Normally the background saw would work as a bass but for this I really think it should have another saw instrument that's more low pitched as a bass.
Also felt like the song could have used some more variation or dynamic change but that's not such a big deal in this kind of music.

[Idle Starlight]

Talent :o. That's all I can say. Making this after just two months of music is amazing. Seems like you were just blessed with musical talent. Would be an awesome rap instrumental and if there were some lyrics over this it would be epic :D.

[I Don't Mind]

Pretty sure I reviewed the instrumental for this :).
Again, love the groove :). The lyrics are awesome and the rapper is perfect for the track.
Also it sounds incredibly professional :D.
Keep it up. This is going straight on my itunes :D.
Easy 5 stars.

[Lonely]

It's good :). It's sounding really good.
I haven't actually heard the original before but I liked this groove. Could imagine hearing it at a jazz bar or something X3.
I wished there was some kind of lyrics over it though, but I saw below that your working on it so that's okay :).
Can't really give a full score on this as it's just a short loop looping but I still liked the groove so I'm giving you 4.5 stars :)

[Generic House Party]

It was pretty nice :D. I did though feel like it was a bit too repeative even for dance music. It's okay that the same melody play for a period of time but sometimes in your sog I felt like your song could have used some dynamic like a overlaying instrument over the lead just to give it that extra something.
I also felt like the synths sounded very flat. I think a itty tiny bit of reverb on all of them will fix that problem.

I find it wierd that your music has such a low rating actually. It certainly deserves better, but don't let the rating get you down. The most important is what people SAY about your song and I say it's good and funky :).
