EctiBot's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Wasteland Overdrive]

I really like this track :). It's a really good cinematic track and i can imagine this being used in a game during a battle or under an epic moment. Only thing is that I felt that it was really repetive. The melody really didn't change at all though I don't say that the melody has to change but maybe have a bit more contrast in the different sections in the song.

I really liked the song though and if i could I would've given you a 4.75 but as I can only choose 4.5 that's what I'll give you :3.

Keep up the good work :D. I really liked this track.

deadlyfishes responds:

This is going to be used in a commercially released game. I did originally have less of a repetitive version, but playtesting the game me and the developers found it to be too distracting. This was the final version that really fit the game well which is the most important thing when it comes to working for games and other media. Most of the time short loops aren't really worth sharing but this is one of the few tracks I think really stand alone well straight from the game itself. Thanks for your review!

[Time Shift (NG Edit)]

Pretty good track.I enjoyed it :).
The progression was pretty good. One thing I kinda disliked was that the drums dosen't sound like a partof the track. The tempo is correct and all but the sound dosen't really fit. You should mess around with the equalizer a bit more.

Also personally I think the lead sounded a little bit flat but I'm someone who likes to have reverb effects on everything so I might be wrong.

I liked the track overall :)

Dylnmatrix responds:

Yeah, about the drums. I started this in very late December of 2012, using these very drum samples. After a year of growing emotionally attached to the song, anything I try to change just made it sound weird, y'know? And it's not a lack of percussion, it's just these sounds fit best to what my mind said the track should sound like.

Also, fun fact, there's actually a lot of reverb on the lead, but Ozone and the mixing sort of neutralized it in a way. I still hear the reverb, but that's because I've heard the track over 9000 times.

(Haha, I made a joke.)

Thanks for the review and sorry for the late response!

[Zombie Attack]

(writing as i listen)
Interesting start. Very spooky and ambient thats good.
:o liked how it suddenly built itself up and there some kind of synth kicked in.
liking it very much so far.
The drums are okay but could probably have been a little bit more ambient.
Seriously dude this is creepy XD I luv it .
Ok its over now

Summary:
I really liked it actually. It's a really good cinematic track and it actually creeped me out which is good :D. The drums aren't really a huge problem but I would have added some sort of revern effect on the hat just to give it that little extra :)
A very good track.
A 5 from me :)

SoTJake responds:

Thanks man :)

[Sonic His World (Dubstep)]

I like some of your music quite alot actually. I think you should work a bit on the rhytm in some of your songs though.
But overall i think you're pretty good so I'll send you a scout request which you can choose to accept or decline. continue to improve :).
I especially liked this remix :)
5 stars

k7g4p11 responds:

Thank you very much! :D

[Tripleton - Moonlight]

Wowowowow wait a second..... You're good o_O....
Sry for some reason i didn't expect you to actually be good. And you aren't just good you're amazing :O.
I loved the song from the start to the end :D. I kinda disliked the part at 3:00 because the synth drowned all the other sounds. Other than that it was a really REALLY nice beat.
Hope you get scouted as soon as possible :)
5 stars from me

Tripleton responds:

Thank you so much for the feedback! Glad that you enjoy the track, also! And as for that area of the song, you're right. My audio mastering is a little rough, and I'm working on improving that as my production goes on. Buy anyways, I really appreciate the feedback! Stay rad!

[SpaceyShip]

The paning and volum change effects are really annoying and the song is not really that complex (though that dosen't have to be a bad thing.) I also dislike that it dosen't loop properly. The meaning behind a loop is that i should be able to close my eyes and not notice where the song stops.
That was the bad stuff.
Now to the good stuff :).
Your song is not complex at all. Again this could be both bad and good.
The song tells a story. Even before reading the title I could imagine the picture of a spaceship in my head. The song would be great for a simplistic retro style 2D game :).

So I think the song was okay. Want to give you 3 but I'll have to give you a 2.5 in order for you to further develop your skills :) Believe me. I'm doing you a favor.

bashfrog responds:

Thank you for the feedback. It really is the motivation that keeps one going, right? I think? Well I think so, so thank you.

[Razors on the Dance Floor]

I'm honestly not a fan of this kind of dubstep but I liked the song. The way way it builds up is pretty clever actually.
One thing i thought you could have done better is that you could have worked a little more on each instrument sound to make it sound a bit more soothing to the ear. Other than that i think your song was pretty good.
I'll give you a 4 :).
Oh and keep making ur music :). Listened to some of your other songs and I think you got a really interesting style that I would love to see you build on :).

LunyAlex responds:

Thank you for your feedback and encouragement! Very much appreciated.

[Echo Through Time]

Ultimate Awesomeness. Thats all I can say.

CowardlyLion responds:

Thank you!

[Tension is High]

Dude your a genius :O This song is awesomeness in itself just love the build up :D

Kreyowitz responds:

Hahaha, I don't think i'm a genius, but thank you, I made this just to make something quick that people could use. Hopefully someone finds a use for it! :3

[Sprites]

Awesome as always ;)

Kreyowitz responds:

Thank you! Glad you like it! :D
