SpeTheof's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Folklore]

Very nice loop man, maybe variate the drums a little, they sound the same all over the place.

aCeta responds:

I agree. In the full version I will do so! I had planned on it XD
EDIT: Drum variation has been added!

[The One to Save Us All]

Nice intro, relaxing, peaceful, chilling!
Nice beat, clean, slow, and goes along well with the melody.
1:55 - That spot really is awesome dude, nice work,
2:16 - Back to the chills
Finale seems good here and it's not very curt
I don't have any notices here, i think it's a pretty good piece.

[Advance 4U]

Very good, nice development, nice structure, nice intro, clean mastering, pumpy kick, neat melodies, overall great :D that's a sure five!

Cheers mate :P

[Swing of Things (WIP)]

Finally some 3/4 song, Really different from the others, it is more energetic and more melodic, your melodies here are better and they are not repetitive at all, the drums could be more variable i guess and you could work more on the mastering (kick is kind of flat) add some reeverb on the snare if you keep the beat slow and don't overdo it! It doesn't need much stuff! Keep it simple and add more "energetic" spots, some awesome 3/4 drops. needs more BASS and add some break down parts!

aCeta responds:

I'll try to fiddle around the the Bassy type stuff to find a match, change the kick to something more full and add that reverb to the snare.

What do you mean by 3/4 drops? I understand the concept of 'Drop' but in 3/4 you could be meaning something different!

[RoboTron (Unfinished Demo)]

I would say that dubstep does not fit you much but nice try, it starts really promising but the dubstep beat doesn't go along well for me, I can say it is pretty good though and clean sounding

aCeta responds:

I try to make everything sound clean. Which is why I can't do dubstep lol. It has to be dirty T__T

Darn my trance roots!

[Expedite]

Continue it! I think it needs more expansion, just make sure to keep the relaxed feeling and add more beats and stuff. If you add a melodic lead it will really make things go crazy! Nice work :D

aCeta responds:

Will do Capn!

[The Far Grounds]

Awesome start! (yeah, now I will be reviewing you with my new account instead of TastyTeo haha). Apart from the start, the drums seem pretty solid here and unique beats. The pads and overall background synths and melodies are awesome, The lead sound pretty well but the melodies might need more alteration next time, You kind of remind me of PPK with a new style of beats.......... After 1:22 things get very interesting you turn the song into complextro with a dubstep feel. I would say that saves most of the song and from repetitive makes it sound really solid and good to listen,
Bass at 2:20 is very awesome! You could have worked more on the finale though :D

Overall pretty interesting track I can say, keep them coming!

aCeta responds:

PPK? Who's that? Guess I'll have to look this person up.
complextro? how'd I do that?

Thanks for reviewing like... ALL my stuff haha - I reeaally appreciate it!

(EDIT: I looked up PPK and instantly was like... OHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHH lol)

[We're in Heaven (cover)]

It's actually very good, the only notice i have is the mastering, specifically the kick, i think it should be more pumpy, more powerful, maybe it's the other sounds making it sound weak because in some spots the kick is awesome (Some quiet spots) so I guess you need to work on your mixing more.

aCeta responds:

Yeah, I feel you there. Punchy kicks are hard to make sound perfect, especially with so much going on. Either it sounds awesome but clips the song or its not powerful enough.

Thanks for the review, and maybe have a look at some of my incomplete stuff?
