montehawks's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fountain of Dreams (Clock]

Hmm?

I'm not exactly sure what you were trying to accomplish with this song... I can definitely see it playing in the background in some type of little iPod-based arcade game.

Or maybe the credits or title of a flash animation.

If that was your purpose than it was not too shabby :)

TimerClock14 responds:

In all honesty I still had a lot more that needed to be put on this song. But I just lost interest on it and working on it just became a pain.

Thanks for the review, though! Much appreciated.

[[TFC] - Paneke]

I may have to favorite this;

This song calls for one of those slow, continuous head-bobs whilst tapping thy feet to the beat.

The song flows very well. I only wish it was longer with a slight variation somewhere :(

10/10
5/5

You sir, made a new friend :)

TheFantasyClub responds:

The girl who ask me to make this only wants to know if I could be able to make something beatiful with the sample she left to me. I prefer like a loop (I still have the files to expand it, too). But I only had (then) made variations in the bass (as you can hear).

Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it.

[Daemon (intro)]

holy wow;

very catchy drum beat you have going there! i love the dark feel of the track... somewhat reminds me of a deathmatch tune that plays in unreal 3 or ut2k4 :)

just give it a little more work; the synths in the background are a bit blurred together. i can somewhat hear the tones they're bringing out and i feel if they're sharper it'd make the track a lot better :D

cheers!

AbruptMan responds:

Uh thank you very much, I am very pleased! Of course, I still work on track and I want to make a sequel!

[project demon (gutz)]

very repetetive;

that scratchy base i'm not too fond of. the high pitch frequencies are also a distraction for me. im sorry :(

good thing it's a project, perhaps it'll sound smoother when the final version releases :)

[Unsettled Thoughts]

i'm not entirely sure how to review this o.O;

it definitely unsettles the mind listening to this. it just makes me uncomfortable in general...

i'm not sure as to why you're trying to create a song that's supposed to sound awkward, but cheers to you for succeeding :D

branpute responds:

Well, the idea behind why it is so messed up is because if I ever finish it, I might include it in a scary part of a video game, designed to make you even more scared / unsettled than just the area itself.

Other than that, it doesn't have a huge purpose, and as long as it creeps you out, rather than irritates you from the horrible quality/something else, then I have succeeded in the song so far.

I do need to refine the piano bits more, so they aern't THAT discorded from eachother. Currently they are very roughly put together.

[Dueling Modulation]

not too terrible;

not necessarily my style of electric music; however, I found it rather nice to listen to.

my ears were freaking out from the insane panning. nicely done, sir.

[Cyvec WIP]

Hmmm;

I'm not sure if I like the sound of the synths you have playing the main melody; however, I think it's incredibly catchy. My foot's tapping :D

It's just a wip, so that's the good news. It's a good piece so far, but please change that synth (the one that comes in at 00:29)

PS: The drums are freakin' tits.

DjWalom responds:

Thanks! :D

[-={Spectral Solstice}=-]

If only....

it looped better. I thought the drums were perfect. They gave a cinematic feel to the song/loop, which I personally like. The synth that chimed in every so often added a nice touch.

It doesn't loop as well as I'd like, but otherwise very good :D

9/10
5/5

DarkMInds responds:

Thanks for the review :D Yeah.. looping sometimes worked, but I think they fixed it.

[Ice Nebula (Demo)]

It's getting there;

Right off the bat, those drum loops had me. You are just astounding at creating a good beat, I don't understand how you do it.

Other than the song being a bit repetitive, you were occasionally introducing new sounds and synths to keep it fresh, that, I liked. I'm about 3.5 minutes into the song now as I'm writing this review, and so far it's very good. But like I said, repetitive :(

Ooooo at 4:00 it changed. Very nice :) I'm not sure I care much for that synth, perhaps a piano with a heavy reverb or delay would do the part justice. Just a thought!

Do work son, get rid of that (Demo) tag after the title. :)

[AA - An Apparition]

I'm not much of a house music kinda guy... but;

the song had my attention for about 4 of the 7 minutes of it. I noticed my foot tapping and my head bobbing as I was browsing the internets at one point.

Very well done sir, I approve of your skillz in the FL. I have it myself... and I'm still struggling with it, lol. Feel free to check out my armatureness :)

SynchroSpectre responds:

LOL, thank you you are very good too, and yeah its pretty much loopy that way.
