NKAT's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mephisto]

kcabdeeF

Intro 0:00 - 0:27 needs some different shit in there, make it catchy so I want to hear the rest

The beat after this part is weak imo, I need something more dramatic

1:09 lead is pretty cool, maybe with said dramatic beat would sound more badass

1:36 is my fav, but more drama in the song would pop this into 'hit-song' type

it is a good base for an awesome song, but as-is is a stock trance song. Get creative to introduce the different parts. Make it church-song easy to follow but two drunk grrls drama sounding lol. Good Luck.

Kaboohze responds:

Thank you for you review! I'm fairly new in creating music, so I'm very thankful for you feedback!

[Code of Tomorrow]

Straight lines can kill

Straight up 'A' to 'B' happy techno (Happy Hardcore almost). I say I am a sucker for it and this a bit. Tell you what, needs female vocals, they always help. If you did all the sequencing and parts yourself then gj, if not it sucks. Honestly it needs to be a little more dramatic to be a badass song, this is stock at the moment. Work with it and keep working with Major Scale, it is happy sounding!

Absolix responds:

haha, thanks for the idea's. I have never been the one for trying to add vocals / lyrics into things, but I can always try.
The majority of my songs do not sounds THIS happy ^_^. I'll be uploading another song later on this evenin' with an ol' 90's disco swing.

Again, thanks!

21 and up only

the DnB beat is great for the first 30 second intro of a standard DnB record (vinyl only please) thats it. It needs to be fleshed out later, i.e. the song doesn't really go anywhere throughout. It is mediocre, with descent mastering, the sounds all fit generally with one another. Nothing to mind-blowing. This needs more work and is a great start. Bassdrive.com for current DnB

julius33 responds:

This is not intended to be DnB and this basically took ~4 hours to make.
I was just experimenting with sounds... but still, whats with the 4?
I took look at your DnB songs and theres none that are mind-blowing...
(Also i would have understood the 4 if you had written some constructive critisism because i have nothing against that)
Also the NG player f***s with the quality...

[Rain12 str]

Whose that

You obviously have talent with the 12String. All around nice playing. I wish I could hear a song with more instruments, but this is good as is.

Driftus responds:

alas, it was recorded in one try and with a microphone that came with a webcam, plus I had to return the rental guitar, lol!

[.::Micheal Myers::. [rEMIX]]

That

Melody + Beat = Fail. Needs mastering and EQ. Needs more all around.

[BreaksNo1 Loop]

Hey there dudebro

Im hearing the same key over and over, meh its all good not really...i would check the mastering/EQ of the parts, i dont know really, my ears hurt. My speakers need to fill up a little more with lovely sounds that make girls melt and makes me want to hear more of your stuff. Keep at it, work it out, spend the time, done deal bye

redeemyr responds:

Because I know the notes as I play them, I can hear each key play in succession. However, after listening to it again after your review, I agree, one of the notes is standing out noticeably above the others. Thanks for the review, I'll work on it.

[Changing Mediums]

HAHA

Im a sucker for synth stuff at the beginning. PLEASE PLEASE make your parts longer, not changing so quick. Check your volume increases and decreases with the keyboards throughout, i get what u are trying to do, but it scares me. First 19 seconds are too good, the rest....ima keep drinking to think of sumthin else. Beat at 0:40 is my breakbeat fantasy, is it a sample or your own. Please u have knack for commercial music, just spend the time on it, stretch it out, you have sumthin

[Late Night Progress]

0:22

@ 0:22 is this what u like most about this song, it is good. I think this has good elements. I dont like it, it sucks all around man, but the technique is there on the parts. You have generally worked well with each piece, you get music obviously. You need to come up with a track that takes less time to do, sounds a lil better than this and has more of one sound, not like a 2 or 3 songs/melodies/etc tacked onto on another. 0:44 is fun, so is the end. Keep up the work, you sound like u have a strange knack for unusual sounds with badass applications. Gonna favorite you maybe to hear more in the future.

[S.E.L.F]

Rigid straight

general techno, nothing terribly wrong here, but nothing gets me off. If you can make stuff that is mastered this well but changes my thinking of this style of music, well, that would make you a superstar....not on this one though. Good work none the less. I love you llooll, ima review the dude's stuff below me, it better be good.
