PIED3's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hope For Better Days]

Nice

Fair enough taking a beat off Youtube but at least leave a link back to them or give the name of the producer. Anyhow I liked your rapping. You have a very clear voice and good diction, so even when you rap fast i can still hear what you are saying. You've obviously put a lot of emotion into this and it comes through ardently. I liked the line "F5 of emotions" and the hook was great too. All in all a very enjoyable listen.

DominickTheRenegade responds:

thanks really appreciate it, dont have access to the internet much didnt have time for all that i cant find the beat anymore..still lookin for it again, but anyway once again thanks for the input, i recorded this at home on a homemic did the best i can so im glad to hear you someone say they can hear me on the track clearly. good look

[Guitar Medley Loop]

Harsh sounding

Far too repetitive. The repetition of the opening melody gets annoying quickly. However once it drops out and we get the longer bass line taking the lead it becomes more enjoyable. The drum loop is a little simple and the whole rhythm of the piece makes it feel a little thumping and forced. However when you have the melody and counter melody going together you get a nice sound. The guitars sound a little sharp, perhaps a little to distorted or they just need some more equalizing. The structure is good though and it loops well.

Psicodric responds:

Thank you for the response. I'm new in FL Studio and I can only make simples songs like that. Little rough, I know.
I appreciate your response as knowledge for me.
Thank you for show me that point of view.

Can you review my other attempt?

If it's not bother for you. Thank you!

[Bones - (Vocals)]

Horay for vocals!

I think the bass drum is a little heavy and the vocals a bit quiet. I like the build up at 0:33, it was unexpected and added some much needed depth to the song. The panning in this is nice too and adds some fullness. The actual singing of the vocals sounds fairly good, but it just seems a bit distant and quite. Possibly some equalizing could fix that. The song structure is good and stops it from ever getting repetetive. I think a better start to the song would be the vocals on their own, or something to give them a bit more presence. You definitely have something nice going on here, good luck with your future stuff!

[Ominous Menu Loop]

Doo do dooo

Interesting rhythms, i like the pauses. I'm not sure the panning of the bass-ey sound tot he left is that good a choice though, the normal rule of thumb is to keep the bass centred. Some of the synths sounded a little tinny and screechy, most notably the one that enters at 0:15. It all fits together nicely and creates an interesting atmosphere, though i'm not sure i'd call it ominous. For that i'd probably have a little more dissonance. It loops well though and the melodies are enjoyable.

SirKoto51 responds:

Thanks for the feedback. :D

[11 11 11]

Interesting

Awesome equalizing and effects. It has a really unique sound that i didn't even notice as vocals and guitar for 10 seconds. The melodies and harmonies are nice and it has a relaxed feel. It might have been nice to have an even longer song like this but it works well as a loop too. It's this kind of unique thing that draws me towards the portal, so thanks for making this!

[BR's- NGHH 2011 Hype Track]

Great

Loved it, really epic feel, nice flow and some great lyrics. Your voice is nice and you have a lot of attitude. All in all very enjoyable, good luck!

Ganashi responds:

Thanks man.

[Love, Lust, and Affections]

Untroubled

I really enjoyed this piece, has a really nice vibe to it, very relaxed and laid back. I thought your singing was good, and the echo and equalization you did to it help it meld into the track nicely, not overpowering but adding another layer of complexity that is welcomed. Not sure what to recommend you change other than extending it's length, and perhaps to keep it from getting stale varying the structure a little. Good stuff!

bobiscoo32 responds:

Thank you so much man :) I was thinking of just getting more vocal cuts in there (that aren't my singing) or adding some synth so look out for this to be updated soon. Again, thank you for an awesome review and now ive just gotta check out your stuff :)

[-Let It Be- Hip hop]

Nice

I really liked the sound of your voice and tone that you rapped in. It was a lot less aggressive than a lot of raps and sounded more introspective and thoughtful. Some of your rhymes were a little off and sounded primitive, but your flow wasn't bad and the beat was nice. The intro was cool too, and all in all it was an enjoyable nice listen. Keep it up.

[Would Not]

Enjoyable

Neat concept, and you pulled it off well too. I assume the sharp attack of the notes was produced by cutting the noises to somewhere after you had begun singing them. This creates a really nice effect and the tones and textures of the piece are relaxing and meld together well. You have some fun melodies in there too, and some complex layering of melody and counter melody that keeps the piece from ever getting boring. I really enjoyed listening to the piece, and am downloading it now!

LazyMuffin responds:

Thank you!

[HDC Presents: Wyze vs. Mao]

Nice

I think the beat was a little slow for rapping too, so the flow was a little off at times. The lyrics were good though and it was nice to hear to people rapping with enthusiasm. My vote goes to Mao.
