Grent's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[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).

[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.

[On High Seas]

GOOOONNNNGGGGG

You overused the gong at the beginning. A lot. Otherwise not half bad.

ShiverMeSideways responds:

Possibly. I thought it gave a feeling of waves crashing into the ship. Thanks anyway :)

[Van Face ( Maz )]

Catchy

THe more I listen to this song, the more I like it. Nice work!

b4mse responds:

Hehe i have the same :D Thanks for your review ^_^

[Farewell To Axiom]

Entertaining

When you said hectic, I thought you meant a little more... "action packed." After listening to the song, though, I see what you mean and I like it. I like how you mixed in the piano with the more traditional DnB stuff. It gave the song a nice almost calm feel even though it was pretty fast-paced at times. Keep it up!

nubbinownz responds:

thank you :) Yes hectic was in the sense of the drums and the melody bending :D

[Egypt Remix]

Nice

I had my doubts at the beginning, but this is a good song. Could have been longer, though.

Pyroific responds:

I'm not done :P

[I Am Insane (yes sir)]

Sweet

My head exploded. Thank you.

The only problem was your louder drums came off a little rough, but that didn't bother me at all.

Dj-Fanta5t1c responds:

=) i like it rough
