Fubaka's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cs - 'Double Major']

I think the song carries itself well, but it is a little too noisy for my tastes. Also, I find it to be a bit grating on repeat. Perhaps you could expand this and bookend it with calmer sections?

Csucskos responds:

Thanks for the review.
I wanted to be noisy like this but I might expand it. That's a great idea because I really like that song. ;)
Yes there is something with the looping but I can't fix it sorry. (I've tried many times.) So the best idea is to finish the song and not let it loop like this.
So thanks again for the suggestion.

[Magnetic Substitute]

Not bad. The song carries itself well and would definitely serve as a good backdrop in a movie of some kind.

I do feel like the song doesn't really start until near the end, when the melody really kicks in. As such, I am disappointed when it stops so soon. I would have either started it up sooner, or made the song longer.

[Rise Mind]

This is an ambitious song, but it has several problems.

The instruments, while nice-sounding on their own, do not harmonize well. This is especially apparent when three are playing at once.

There is very little feeling of progression in the song. For that reason, it either should have been shortened to about 3 minutes, or altered half-way into the song.

Keep trying, and keep experimenting to see which song ideas draw you in.

TheHoodedFiend responds:

Yeah that's how I felt but also at the same time I felt that person who's good at painting but they think that's missing something, so they add an extra layer of paint. I dig the critique though, I do have the ideas but transferring them from mind to actuality gets me from to time.

[Hardwired World]

Great stuff!

The bass line is groovy, and the instruments work sublimely together. The ending was a tad off, but I don't blame you, since ending a song like this can be a bit tricky.

One day I will harness the power of this kind of music in my own work.

IndustryStandard responds:

Thanks, I'm glad you like it! Yeah I wasn't quite sure how to end the song, but even then it didn't quite end quite how i wanted it to... I wanted a bit more of a resounding boom, like a heavy door slamming shut in a cave, but I'm happy with it overall.

[The Junkyard]

I like it.

I could definitely see using this in something odd and dark.

Azhthar responds:

Thanks a lot for the input! Glad you like it. When I now listened to it with a bit of distance I would have done something a bit different. Anyway... Love your ambiental pieces as well. They are perfect listening during work.

[Mesmer!zed]

The song is excellent on a technical standpoint. No issues with any of the instruments, and everything flows nicely.

I do feel however, that it builds up to a false climax. I was hoping for a little more bang near the end.

Lethal-Input responds:

Thanks for the feedback! I was trying to make a part with more bang, but I couldn't get it down, so I ended up going with the somewhat calmer part after the break

[Dreambeep]

Wonderful song. It's just the kind of unsuspected stocking gift that turns out perfectly!

[The Perfect Storm]

Hmm... Unique AND well constructed!

This ain't half bad. The instrumentation is lively and it sounds like its own song too! The only thing I would suggest doing would be to shorten it somewhat, or make the second half more distinct than the first. You definitely have a knack for this sort of thing. Keep it up!

Felocai responds:

Yeah I think you're right I could make it a little shorter but I just wasn't thinking about it then.
Anyway I'm really glad you like it, thanks for reviewing :3
