Grent's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Battlefunk]

This song is amazing... once you hit around 1:15. Before that is kind of bland and not very funky. Still, I know enough of Audacity to make it work, so it's still a solid 4!

[Jazzy Piano Loop]

It's a quality loop, but I think it could stand to be a little longer to be practical for most projects. Otherwise it'd just get annoying and repetitive.

[Who Sleeps Anyway? [Tranc]

Ironically discovered this song while pulling an all-nighter. A good chunk of solid trance, but I feel like it was missing the special something that would give you the perfect in my book (and I'm sorry for not being able to describe what that "something" is).

[XS - Thunder]

Pretty good, but doesn't feel like a Dub song.

I'll be honest, this feels less like a dubstep song and more like a techno song you added some wobble to. As such, the wobble feels a little out of place, especially considering it's relatively dark feel compared to the lighter tones of the rest of the song. Overall, not too bad, though.

Jimmypig responds:

Yeah I see your point but this change felt right to me, personally. The reason I did this was because in a storm you get those moments when the clouds crack and the sun pokes through and shines a brilliant ray through the rain sort of giving hope, before they close back up and the grey thunder resumes (the drop).

[Mega Man 2 - Horror (Wily 2)]

Nice work!

I am genuinely impressed with how well you remixed this relatively boring song. Great job!

[A Spy in Versailles]

Very nice atmospheric piece

It really does a good job of setting the tone you were looking for. My only complaint was the copious amount of silence at the end, but since I can whack that off in Audacity, I don't consider that a true failing.

Rampant responds:

Thank you :)

As for the silence, I guess it does sound a bit long on NewGrounds: I like to leave plenty of room so I don't accidentally cut off the reverb tail.

Thanks for the feedback

[Psy Orbit (PsyTrance Intro)]

Pretty good

Good job for your first try. Keep on practicing with this kind of stuff; most of the problems I heard were minor stuff (overuse of background noises etc.) that you'd be able to resolve pretty easily with a little more experience.

Zuelo responds:

Thanks Grent,
i try it.
