Nimble's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Steam Rolling The Club!]

2nds?!

even though you did little work on the track before resubmitting it,it sounds better without the rip being in the way of the actual meoldic lines/drum line. the next thing you should work on for sure is diversifying your drum line,like have a certain style other than four on the floor,like Fusion style drum lines. another thing that i might add is that you took my advice rather seriously,which i commend greatly. you're going to go far in the Audio Portal if you listen to your audience,which in this case is only me,but further down the road you're going to have to listen to your audience. great job improving on the track.

Ambience in Repitition

Ambience in Repitition,hmm? Minimalism has gone far these days. yes,your song sounds well played,but it seems your need to diversify your main melody line,because honestly,it's just the same thing over and over(you switch main instruments twice,and one of those switches is back to the original) have at least a few main melodies to choose from and switch them up every now and then. also,your chord progression with the strings is really decieving,which i like honestly because i like it when a song turns on my predictions,so good job on that one. one more thing:i suggest lowering the reverb slightly so the notes don't repeat themselves.it's better off that way,im telling you. but in overall,you did OK with your song,so if you want,take my review as advice and apply it. i know the ambient genre is usually fond of repitition,but think of stereotypes. not all songs have to be repitition-based. experiment. im sure you'll have fun experimenting and finding a way to diversify.

Tulvadar responds:

WOW!!! I can`t remember when was the last time somebody actually commented my song, let alone been so analytic and helpful. Thanks for the tons of advice. If you don`t mind i would like if you could listen to my other works on NG as well. I`d like to hear your opinion. Thank you for your review.

woah.

That was very good for being a first draft! now,there were somethings (like the longa the first time at :55) that could be background and give the "melody"(the synths) a chance to slide down to their note and be heard,like flipping the dynamics. you should change the snare to a rimknock too,since a rim knock is more "taking you back" kind of feel than a snare can do. also,some parts of the song are either too loud or too soft. for this being a draft,its good,both harmonically and rhythmically,but you still have a long ways to go till you finish this piece. i can't wait to hear the finished version!

There will never be an edited version. My laptop got stolen. FML and all that noise.

well done!

i really like it,even though you may not know where you're going! (it's called going with the flow!) but this is a pretty cool piece. i don't like the amount of reverb so much(thats why i gave you an 8) but its fine after that little bit. good job!

Enzer0 responds:

Thanks - Yeah I do ad aot of reverb to my stuff, it's because the sound im getting usually isnt up to scratch and reverb is a quick way of boosting it closer to what i want. But i guess i like reverb
