LaymanLove's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[200]

interesting, but...

It's a cool beat for sure. It reminds me of a drumline. The quality, however, is lacking. Even though, I can listen past that and hear that it is an interesting concept, it doesn't really go anywhere and it is strikingly similar to a lot of the pieces made by Paragon.

The drums are freakin tight, wouldn't touch those, but the bassline is muddied and overlapped by the deep bass drum. That bassline should have an intense presence in this mix and it doesn't. Bring that and inprov the production quality and I would be forced to give you some pretty high scores for this one.

Peace,
LL

Lightbulb-clock responds:

I see that,I will improve:)

Oh yeah and right,I submit the second version of 200.

[pulse { part 1}]

ah HA!

Well I guess I listened to them backwards. You should shorten these builds and make it into one song!!!! Now it all makes sense...except, I'm curious as to why you made this concept a two part piece?

By itself, this part has even less movement than part two. It's quite repetitive, as it takes so long for new ideas to be introduced. Still liking what you're doing though, it definitely rides.

FoxTechno responds:

cheers mate, third part tomoz, its one of those song that goes 10 mins long.
I think i should of made more stynth mellodys,

the third part goes right into a deep drop down, then slowly builds up.

the music system im using for this songs are an korg elecribe mx, and korg mini korg.

cheers for both reviews mate.

[pulse {part 2}]

a little more?

This beat has a real chill ambient feel to it, which I dig. I love all the cool doodads and delayed rhythm pieces you worked in there. Use of panning is on point. All I would ask for is a little more variety, something to bring this piece to life.

This would make for reeeeeally cool dvd menu music. As a song by itself it is not overly exciting. Still, I enjoyed it for it's quality and production value. What program(s) are you using?

See ya round,
LL

FoxTechno responds:

cheers again, ive left more information on the other review you did. part 3 is allready up. above this song.

thanks

lovin the vocals

I'm really enjoying this one. Good to hear some long flowing vocal harmonies. Well done. Autotune would help, but this has a very organic feel to it, and we wouldnt want to ruin that. I'm diggin the attitude of this track. Isn't MJ amazing? haha, late!

LL

Seypka responds:

I don't really beleive in using autotune even tho I have to use Pro tools in school! lol "Organic" was a nice way to put it, but I think u put it out there and that's it..all ability & no computer magic which Mj might know a little bit about.lol thanks dude. \m/

[Quintiple Q]

I'm chillaxin now

This little diddy is relaxing. Reminds me of the nice Sunday mornings I used to have before my life exploded into global bits of kharmic waste. Thanks!

WinTang responds:

Thank YOU!

[Foufa]

oooooooooo

This is pretty chill mayn. I'm feeling the little progression you got going here. And I'm begging you when I suggest this...put some delay and reverb on those drums so they and just as chill as the rest of the song.

There is so much more you could do with this song as you progress as a musician. Don't loose the song files...I better be seeing "Foufa [remix]" or something of the sort sometime in the future.

Peace

LL

shootingBLiND responds:

thanx a lot man, i need some good feedback like that to keep me going, cant wait to start working on more stuff

[Bounce (Full version)]

Interesting sound...

I can tell you have some serious potential man. This beat features some diversity that is not common among beginners.

Listening to professional mixes or even some great artists here on NG (ya, there are a few) will definitely help you get a feel for what a mix should and can sound like.

Try experimenting a little more with effects like delay, flange, and reverb which usually come standard on techno tracks.

Like Shadow echo said, you will be on your way to being a great artist in no time.

BTW, check out some of my stuff if you get a chance...

Lata bro,
LL

Dante16 responds:

Hey thanks for the words of wisdom and I new this song would only be so good since it was rushed but my next song will make rock fanatics go crazy and maybe ill make a better version of this song one day.

[RemedyX - Override]

you weren't

lying man. Some cool synths here. I love the evil feeling I get inside when I listen to this song. The bassline and drums bounce around really well together...I commend you on that because it's not easy to do. In fact, shit, all the synths have really cool rhythms that work well together.

I think the only thing this song is missing is some depth. Soundwise-ie: you could double the 16th note synth that sits in the right channel with another one panned to the left channel, etc., and arrangementwise- there are no cool surprises and it gets a little repetitive. Maybe add more to the drums...

You got a good track here mayn. Make us some more! By the way, could you check out my trance piece, ATWC[Pt.2] and tell me if it stinks as bad as the score says it does?

LL

RemedyX responds:

I was gonna add a pad to give it that ambience. But yeah I panned it to different channels to see what it would sound like. Thanks for the constructive critiscm.

[Reel Techno]

original, but...

This is definitely very original and pretty trippy, but I'm not really sure if I would listen to it more than once. No offense dude, keep on truckin!

LL

Killah-J responds:

Yea its iight. thanks for the review though mayn.

[«Repossesion» .:EN3RGIE:.]

Hollywood!

What up man. This song is freaking tragic. This would go perfectly in a slow motion montage...you know the kind where bullets are flying and people are dying. Haha, I mean that in the best way possible. Great essence to this song and very well produced and mastered. I commend you again...you really write some compelling pieces.

By the way, I'm going to "revive" the THE PIANO for you so we can collab on the rest...that cool with you?

LL

ps. I have a song "A Time will come [Pt.1]" that has a similar ambience, but not as sad. Lend me your ear and let me know what you think.

EN3RGIE responds:

Hey LaymanLove! Im glad you like the song and im happy to hear that you wanna try reviving my song :THE PIANO" :D! I would love to do a collab and have np with it. Add me on msn or send me an email at [e-mail] and we can gegt started on the collab right away :).

Ill check otu yoour song and let you know wut i tihnk. :)

Thx for your review and score!

ttyl!

bye!
