NKAT's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Life [Nt]]

Skill

Hi how are you, I will give you a 3 for your production skills. This to me is pretty descent as is, but it could be taken further. The end is cool. Keep up the good work.

Neurotangent responds:

Hey, feel free to send me a PM with any ideas on how it could be taken further. I'm open to constructive criticism. Thank you for the review!

[AG-Devolution-Reconstruction]

I like variety

I like all that you have done here producing wise. Like an Orgy track, then 2:00 comes in and that is just heaven. No really it is, the beat is amazing. I can hear the time invested and also the sexual frustration, I got the grrl that is also a friend...unfortunately. You know I say, please make more! 1O's for being original and your excellent producing. Vocals towards the second half are really emotion-scaping.

pookicker responds:

That was some good reading, friend! I definitely tried to keep my focus inside of this one. I think it's funny that you say sexual frustration because when I wrote those lyrics, I thought I was just being humorous but, you're right! I gotta get into better shape so I can tackle some ham sandwiches.

Lovely perceptions, thank you.

[Psychotropic]

8eight

I like the chippy sounds/leads. This would be great as more than an intro track. You are good at what you do. Again, thanks for making it.

dynamism responds:

thank YOU for listening, compadre

[Hobo Hash]

Dub

This would be more like Dubstep, plz check out DubStep.FM on shoutcast.com, this is better than some of the stuff on there.

A little heavy compressed, but overall I like it, it really hits my random side. Good job on it, thanks for making it.

dynamism responds:

I'm pretty into dub now, thinking about making some tracks but i don't know how i'd go about making the warbles.

thanks for the listen mate!

[Im Still Here Cant Catch Me]

cover letter

best song i have heard today, cept Pleasant Valley Sunday. I wish i could make this stuff. It all make a lot of sense and I wish there was more like it.

pookicker responds:

This must have been the second song you heard then, Loliver! Pleasant Valley Sunday sounds too good for me to go back and listen to my own muzak, ya know. I used to catch the Monkees TV Show on Nickelodeon when I skippe-- when I was sick and missed school.
Anyhow, I'm pleased you liked it and I will be venturing into your corner...

[D'n'B Thing]

6ix

Best advice, goto BassDrive.com and listen to them

i had a longer critique but i hit some combo of keys and it sent me back a webpage

Step responds:

Alright, will do ^^. Lol, that happens to me a lot as well, which is why I press Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C every few seconds ;). Thanks for the review, anyway!

[Race On (WIP) [SFPL]]

DJ lessons, maybe you know

A stock sounding dance/trance mix. I didnt care for trance that much, but liked it with a heavier beat and more action, dance it is called. Thank you for opening my ears up to the sound i used to like long ago. Doing wonders for me tonight.

Crits - Well I like, abrupt or not. May not mix well at a club or rave, and this is my biggest thought, to fix most dance/techno songs, think about the club/rave... i.e. a slow build-up to mix into currently playing record, breaks at the right times if you want them, and a slow releasing ending... i.e. meaning you take out certain elements but no to many, this is so because at this point the DJ would be mixing in a new record to fill in the voids. That is what I would buy on vinyl

I like it

SFaPiL2 responds:

Excellent tips. Never thought of it from a DJ's perspective. It's always good to learn something new.

It's pretty flattering to know that my "song" is appreciated.

Cheers!

[Harp and Flutes [WIP]]

Think of soups

no it is good, all parts are nice, watch out on the pan pipes, they are slightly, very slightly to loud/punchy/whatever u call. I would maybe experiment with them a little, melodies/introduction of them.

Other than the pan flutes, man i really like it. I wish i could slow down a little and put sumthin like this out. '-1' point '9/1'0 cuz of flutes, i am being very very picky though, cuz this is pro

SFaPiL2 responds:

"this is pro"? Damn man, thanks (I'd better not get too cocky ^__^).

What pisses me off though is that I have no clue on expanding this! I tried some things but, imo, they suck the big one.

Thanks a bunch for passing by NKAT.

P.S. Being "very very picky" is a good thing for me ^__^

[Game Over (loop) [SFPL]]

Will

as for title it doesn't capture 'Game Over', 'You are dead', but more of a song over the credits....ninja-sad plot-sneak/action game lol.

I would maybe tone down your back synthy element on reverb or w/e, add another background noise to fill that full and keep the rest the same.

This is very emotion-generating, loops well, has some soul.

Add some super crazy breakbeats lol, no dont do that, but it would make my personal day haha.

8/10, u can see that

SFaPiL2 responds:

Yeah, I was actually thinking of the credits when making this loop. The "synthy element" has too much punch, you're right.

Crazy breakbeats? Your wish is my command ^__^... Nah, I'd suck at it. I'd end up making the usual repetitive drum loop...

...Say, if you're interested, I could pass the samples straight to you. Just for fun.

Cheers.

[Frozen Forest (Guardia Forest)]

I never played the game, just like the music

awesome, ya man i have this original soundtrack on CD, made one for all my friends too, fav is Guardia Millenial Fair. Great work

Kloudtana responds:

Haha, the sound track is indeed great, but i think you should play the game as well. If you don't have a SNES, the game was recently re-released on the DS.

And thanks for the review.
