TeHLoY's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[- LD - Carol of the Wubz]

Awesome...

I usually find dubstep a bit irritating...
But somehow, the wubz managed to get me to listen to this song.
This is seriously a great cover of this classic song, I like the orchestral beginning too...
I like the beats too, it's weird because of the 3/4 time, but anyway, great job on this.
I think I'm going to download this and listen to it on my mp3 all day...

Breed responds:

The 3/4 beat is a bit strange, its why I did the piece in 6/8 to try and give it a compound duple sound instead of a triple meter. Thanks for the great feedback, I love hearing good things =P

Cheers!

[Racetrack]

Yea...

Your music is really getting into me. I just love the catchy tunes you put into your songs.
Yet another great track from you, I just like this track.
Only thing is the stereo effects, I found them slightly annoying, the way sounds seem to circle around my head.
Anyway, I like this song too. Great song!

Maverlyn responds:

About the effect: im using headphones when i make the tracks so sometimes i forget to put it on stereo and have it on 5.1 or 7.1 wich im using otherwise

I'll try to check everything twice and twice again on the next ones :)

Cheers!

[Retroville]

Catchy.

I can really see this in a video game or something. The synth melody is just catchy.
I think you should try and find a way to get this into a game. It sounds perfect.

Maverlyn responds:

cool! thanks :)

[Beatbox-wip]

Pretty good.

Obviously, the guy below doesn't know much.
Giving it 0 stars just because it isn't beatbox?
I have to agree, the beats don't sound like beatboxing, but that doesn't even matter at all. The overall song is really good, I don't see why he has to put a zero.
I think some regular drum beats may work. o.o

Maverlyn responds:

i'm experimenting with just that but im having a hard time slowing down the drums without them sounding cracked or full of dust specs :P

i need to upgrade my soundpools..

[The magix of Xmas - 2]

Wow.

This is just plain... happy.
I think this song just made my day.
Perfect christmas song you made. I really like the happy melodies you put into this.

Maverlyn responds:

Thank you! & merry Xmas

[XeroQ - Sunrise (Trance)]

Oh my god.

This is seriously awesome!
I loved the breakdown of this one, it really sounds great.
I think this is going into my mp3.
So glad that newgrounds raised the file size limit of mp3 files. I can listen to this at higher quality. =)

XeroQ responds:

Thank you! I worked really hard on this, I hope I can get signed soon! ;)

The file limit, I didn't even know they raised it until today. :D

So glad that you loved it, thanks for the review! :)

[Carol of the 8-Bit]

One of the better ones.

This 8 bit song does sound pretty good. Somehow, this sounds much better than other 8 bit music, which tends to get kind of annoying.
You've done a pretty good job in getting the melody...
I have no idea why I'm still reviewing a song that's 3 years old, but... meh.

[Carol of the Bells (Cam3mix)]

Wow.

Good that you did actually submit this for the christmas challenge, for this is plain awesome.
I love the way this song progresses. It builds up perfectly, and I love the instruments you added on. Perfect.
I love your version, it seems the chord progression is slightly different from the conventional one.

Cam3leon responds:

I appreciate it! Yeah, I was in a little experimental mood for this one. I plan to do more holiday classics. Glad you enjoyed this one!

[Carol of the 'Grounds]

Hmm...

Um... Sorry to break you bubble, but I don't think this is actually a competition. It's more of a casual challenge to see what Newgrounds audio artists can do.

I think this is pretty good. Honestly, I don't exactly hear the melody of this song, but the chord progression is there. Still, I think the choice of instruments is pretty decent. I like the violin in the backgrounds.

Mixing can be improved a bit. Seems like this song lacks in high frequencies. Adding some higher frequency instruments may help a bit. Some instruments also seem a bit muffled.

This song is great. I like the overall progression of this song too.

thatbennyguy responds:

Thx Tehloy it's cool this review :3

And yeah it's not a competition but hey... you gotta try and beat other people right :P (Makes u better)

Anyway after my mistake I love you for your feedback. I'll try and make a more prevalent melody or motif to hold it along. And mixing too. THx!
