robertemerald's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Roads - Gerard Hook]

Like it

Saw your age. You have a future in music. Clever melody and mastering.

ghook responds:

Thanks!

[Prince Robert]

Good solo

The solo is great but you need more going on, ambient layers, and there's noise throughout.

chrisjt responds:

Yeah, such is the life of a lo-fi home studio man (apartment actually). More layers next time, will do!

[Bittersweet Dusk]

A good idea

You got a bit of noise in there? I like the idea, played well, maybe a little heavy on the piano (apparently Mick Jagger has the same problem). Reminded me of an old Savoy Brown album "Looking In". Cool.

Adam-Beilgard responds:

Definitely piano heavy. This was when I mixed everything with headphones and only headphones so with any other speaker, the balance tends to shift. Savoy Brown, huh? That's cool!

Thanks for the review!

[Dina's Song]

Cool little ambient piano piece

As above. Not sure it's blues. Sad, haunting melody? There's a lot of this type of quality at Newgrounds. Worth a few listens and a download.

CptDaniel responds:

I know it's not blues, but I'm not sure at all what else it should be. If you know, please PM me and I will see to change it.

[The Newgrounds Blues]

Very BB King, beaut little blues

The guitar was a blast. Who's sad? Why's this not longer?

PlayTheGame responds:

No one is actually sad lol, and i actually should have made it longer

[Bad Taste]

Good little piano 'hop'

Very cool. Great for animation. Like the motif, and at about .30 it gets quite inspiring.

roojames responds:

Thanks man!

[Mellow Acoustic vs Synth]

Highly competent, creative, original, fun.

Truly beautiful. The only reason I didn't give you a ten is I'm not sure it's strictly blues. Packs a lot of harmonious variety into it's 3 minutes or so, but never disappoints. Downloaded it straight away. Well done!

aliatom54 responds:

Thanks man, to be honest I wasn't really sure what genre to put it in.

[Mellow Forgotten Times (AVS)]

Proficient blues

This has a beautiful ring to it that would go really well with many sequences. I docked you a point for the organ at the end. Unnecessary to my ear, but others will disagree. Polished.

aliatom54 responds:

Thanks for the Review man, every one of them really helps. :)

[Salvation Song]

Good technique, great balance pick and lead.

This cool. Bit of noise though, or is that rain? Don't worry, I'm not critisizing. Noise is a problem with my stuff too.

thecoreman responds:

Thanks a lot.

It's rain. Usually when I record with a mic I noiseproof the room, but this was just for fun. If you need some tips on that PM me.

Thanks for the review!

[Ambivalence]

Great mix of ambience and rock lead.

Awesome!

Robot-Lock responds:

Thanks.
