GershBeats's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Construct]

This is cool. If I were editing it, I'd make the pads a little louder and add in a more unique element. The piece is really well done, but it's essentially just some (repetitive) drums, effects, and pads. It lacks variety!

Also, in my head I really hear a swingy fast-paced hi-hat beat coming in at some point and being awesome. I dunno.

SquidFurnace responds:

awesome man, couldn't have put it better, that's what I feel it could use too. I almost felt bad for uploading it too early, just knowing it sounds rushed. I'll keep working on it, thanks a lot for your input.

[Battle for the Underworld]

You certainly got the feel right! The drums are really well done, I listened with headphones and was thinking some of the drum sounds were coming from real life, like my house was falling apart or who knows xD

If I had to critique it, I'd say it's got a ton of potential for a ghostly little melody to be introduced, maybe halfway in. I think that would really drive this up from a 3.5 to a 4.5.

Good job!

[Summer Train (Remix)]

Really interesting percussion! I think overall it failed to go anywhere. The bass that comes in halfway is neat, but the feel of the song is mostly the same entirely throughout. Sampling isn't 100% but it's close.

More variation, a little tuning, and maybe a more pronounced melody and this would be A+!

Thanks dude. took a while for me to reply to this but it's been very helpful feedback and has really shaped my style thanks

[Subwolf]

The atmosphere pad introduced in the beginning almost hurts sometimes and is possibly a little distorted. Tone down its high frequency maybe? Sick alien-like effects. The switch at 1.44 really needs to have a proper transition, slow reverse cymbal or a fill effect maybe?

I'm typically more a fan of melody-based songs, but I acknowledge this piece is focussed on effects. It's sorta cool!

Avalon69 responds:

Thanks very much for the feedback!

[The Lost]

This is clean as fuck. Impressive! I hate when a song starts off sounding good but then doesn't go anywhere and that's totally not the case with this. You managed to really add in a good amount of variety and drama!

[Walk To Where?]

I was thinking I didn't like the offkey riff, but then I decided that it was genius. I really enjoy this, and I'm hardly a fan of the genre.

RichardBatchelor responds:

Thankyou :) I always struggle to decide what genre to put certain songs in, feels kind of indie, but I want it to lean more towards Video game music and film.

Thanks for the positive vibes dude :)

[Blue Sunrise]

You aced the genre my friend.

[Prophecy]

Sometimes it's almost just noise, but it's still great to listen to! Respect yo.

TjpjMusic responds:

thanks

[-King Poseidon-]

I don't like rock and I love this.

[Midnight Dawn]

The melody is excellent! I love it and the choice of elements is good. Production is quite crowded at times, at 0:09 it really distorts a fair bit, and it doesn't loop perfectly. With a little work, though, it could be excellent!

josh-tamugaia responds:

Yes, it doesn't loop perfectly. If you need to use it, you will need to download it and make minor adjustments and cropping. Thanks
