Nimble's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Closer to Tomorrow]

Wow.

I like your voice bro(no homo) it sounds good for a song like this. when it gets to the chorus the second time,you should get louder instead of softer. it makes for a better musical effect,a kind of contradiction.. as for the lyrics,i can relate to them,so good job on making them on a basic topic,but you kinda lost a point for doing it. try making parody songs or writing lyrics on completely random things. it will help with choosing topics for songs,instead of just the normal indie stuff like love and enjoying life. try adding drums after the first chorus as well,it would make it seem much more musically progressive. just my 2 cents. hope you liked the review,and i hope i can hear more of your voice!(once again,no homo)

7/10 3/5

Evilxy responds:

thanks for the review, I like the input, I think ill try the change on the second chorus.

This is really our first go at recording the song, will be adding drums.

I needed to do this song... Now that its down on paper and actually a song, I can move on to other stuff.

Thx again and I will definitely have more stuff up soon.

[Rainbow Land]

WELL,

i don't mean to be a party pooper,but isn't "The Disturbing Truth" supposed to hint to a depressing/agressive song? well,never mind that. you're focusing on the main melody too much,try to split up your music in parts,like say [Versex2-Main Melody-Verse_Variationx2-Main Melody-Breakdown(or solo)-Key Change-Main Melody] that may have been confusing or not,but you should experiment with lots of things,like instrumentation,synths,DRUM BEATS(unce unce wont help you here) and the works. it's a nicely made song,but i feel it's TOO repetitive,even if it's just trance. nicely done for just an hour though,but thats what happens when you try to rush things. next time,take your time making your music.trust me on this,it has helped me ALOT and i've become a much better composer than in the past,so try experimenting and taking your sweet time(even if you bite more than you can chew) i hope to hear further improvement from you =)

Everratic responds:

Thanks for your help. I will try to add in more melodies.

[[S_Rock] Cause I'll Find You]

This is quite surprising.

i like how this song starts out with an intro,but it's a bit too short.it's a cool song,i would love to hear some lyrics on that(and if you're developing a version with lyrics,even better!) im assuming that the electric guitar is in the chorus,which in that case settles that your repeating the chorus way too much,even if it's just 2 minutes long,but that is just my opinion. great work! i cant hope to hear a version with lyrics,or more recent beats from you!

S-Rock responds:

well in all fairness... this is a beat.. there are no lyrics and it was uploaded because it is such.. therefor thinking chorus verse chorus verse bridge yada yada time 2 seconds long then you're only dismantling your ability to feel the music.. which is what i try to do.. is pull emotion from someone.. so if you wanted lyrics perhaps i could pull emotion so you can make them? =D

[Giving (Demo) Dureagon]

Cool and all,but..

i feel that the small little voice taken away,it would sound a lot better. thats just my opinion though. nice beat,rhythm and things,but i am deducting a single point for the reason mentioned prior. you should also try to like add more to the drum fill so the transition from verse to chorus can feel smoother.

just my 2 cents man,hope you appreciate it.

4/5 9/10

DJDureagon responds:

Thanks for the review. The vocals is something i did in purpose but i can see how it would turn some people off. As for the drums... good idea. i think ill work on this a bit more before the official release this August.

[Repenter]

WELL,

You asked for another review,so i decided to do your newest song. :P

anyways:

You've gotten better since Redeemer. still repetitive as always,but now you're mixing things up a little. i recommend you do a progressive melody song. it starts of with a simple note and then everytime you replay the "melody" add another note to it,until it reaches it's quota of one or two phrases.i recommend doing this to test your imagination. now this song is more my style,dark,deep,and echoey. it still needs more melodic diversity,like i said last time,but you're getting the hang of it by adding a counter melody at least and a rhythm theme.

Tulvadar responds:

As always i am very grateful for your comment. Since you pointed out that i need "melodic diversity" i suggest that you listen to my other works here on NG (there are 26 of them in total). You may find out that some songs are on a higher level than the only two songs you listened to. ;) Besides your comments are very useful. Let me see what do you have to say about other songs as well.

[Toccata and Fugue in D(ance)]

Great Job

On turning this into some techno dance song. im giving you a 7 because A-too repetitive and B-it's a remix ;) it's a very good remix at that,but still a remix.Great job on setting up a classic for the modern DJ set.

[Mirth and the Oppression]

Nice Harmonies

I really like what you did,even if it's just a couple of guitars. the harmonization was on key and on the dot,which i love when it does happen. this is an amazing single track and i can't wait to hear the whole put-together!

pixelseph responds:

Thank you! I was debating for quite a while which harmonies to use and when I settled on the ones you hear (root, minor third, octave, minor third of the octave) I was incredibly pleased.

The end product will sound something like the earlier track, but there's more to the ending. [:

Thank you for the review! =D

[Roll It Up]

Pretty Interesting.

I was trying to read the BBS whilst listening to this,but this got my attention so much i ended up just listening. good job on having that happen to me. it's a bit repetitive,which is okay,since it's a hip hop beat. i give an 8 for the kinda shakyness and instability when the song headed towards the minor tonality parts and i felt it was running over a whole bunch of speed bumps in that part. other than that,you're pretty clear. good job on this song! definitely a cool song IMO :)

JohnEastman responds:

Thank you much for the reevyu NimblekidX ! If anything I would change the piano sound throughout to give more variation. At one point,when creating the song, I was about to give up finishing it because of that <shakiness> you are referring to. I want to try it again real soon. If you have any suggestions you can e-mail me at [e-mail]. John is greatful. Peace:)

[The Long Run - Preview]

The Long Run of Repetitiveness

Well,it's has a nice sound and all,but it's repetitive as hell. i know dubstep is supposed to be a bit repetitive,but you should at least vary the drum groove through several different genres if this song is supposed to be called the long run. also,learn how to make a more encompassing melody,as that will make your audience listen to you,and not just use the song as background noise/any other song. Im just offering helpful constructive criticism on how to improve,because i used to make songs like these(Classical Counter-parts,at least) and since this is your first try at dubstep,i'll let you slip with the drums. but since it's not your first try with music,im taking points off for the lack of a encompassing melodic line,along with at least a counter melody.

carl565 responds:

yeah, i am definitely not sticking with dubstep. i am horrible, i just tried because my friends like dubstep. thanks for your advice though, if i make another dubstep project i will use it!

[Jungle Bits]

Good Job BUT

it doesnt really sound like a drum and bass song. it sounds a bit more trancy or ambient,because it's so repetitive. i know D+B is supposed to be quite a bit repetitive,but it really shouldn't in my opinion.

Very creative idea! i like how you made it sound so smooth but it also has that nostalgic feeling. Good Job overall,and try a bit harder when choosing genres!

DetiousMusic responds:

I'd say this falls between Drum n' Bass and Trance.
I would never say it's actually trance though.
Trance has the traditional unce unce unce unce.
But the beat I used has kicks and snares mixed in it.
But who cares, it's just music.
Thanks for the review!
