MrJenius's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Summer!]

Not sure the bass felt quite right for the song, but I definitely liked this! Got a little bit repetitive, but not enough that it really bugged me, so that was fine. I like the sounds. Theres also about 20 seconds of dead silence at the end which could be annoying in a play list, but besides that good.

Jakki responds:

How in the hell I somehow always end up accidentally leaving silence in the end although I always check carefully?! Gonna fix that.

Anyways thanks bram, much appreciated :3

[\|Δ|/ Darknote]

Did not sound overly great to me. Was a bit too random with the note hitting at some points. Felt a little bland, like someone going on a piano for the first time and hitting random keys one at a time. Perhaps experiments with other sounds would help. And the development of a more distinguishable pattern in the melody.

3Delta responds:

Actually this was an experimental song, and I can clearly see it did NOT work. I just couldn't get the hang of chromatism quite right. Thanks for the review anyway

[Keep It Cool (8-Bit Style)]

At 00:56 that was a bad cut, not sure what exactly happened there but it is not a smooth transition. The whole thing is not overall pleasing to my ears. And the bell stuff around 1:50 I find a little weird, You do bring in other things around it eventually that make it sound good but that takes too long imo. 2:50 I found interesting enough.

bj007pro responds:

I am really glad you reviewed my track! I am very appreciating the this feedback!
(Because you're the second one, thanks again!)

I'll see out why that happened at 0:56 it didn't happen during recording. (The program I use makes you listen to your track while it exports. - It let's you edit while it records too, which I like.)

And you also say I should've added more tracks earlier on. I'll take that in consideration. :)

[RAW]

Sounded good, no clashing notes. Solid beat. Lacked some diversity throughout the whole song though. Caught the loop at 1:32, not quite quite smooth, could touch that up. Got quite repetitive same melody again and again and again. But good besides that

larrynachos responds:

Thanks for the honest review! Glad it satisfied you :D

[Arial Bombard]

Cool sounds, interesting little melody at the beginning of the track. Sounds way too slurred at 00:24 despite such a good start. I think the pickup on that synth sound thing is way to slow for the speed which you are changing it. If you tweaked this a lot you could evolve it into something good, but theres just too much wrong with it right now. I enjoyed the intro though!

octopus58 responds:

Eh it just varies by preference, but I understand why you wouldn't like it. Thanks for the criticism though, very appreciated :)

[Waiting for Dawn [WIP]]

Intro is a little long, at 1:10 ish when the guitar came in it felt a little overcrowded. Feels like a solid base for something greater, something more to it. Could still use work but has good potential.

mauiboynokaoi responds:

Intro was only 8 bars long. Verses will kick in at around 0:16 and chorus drops at 0:50. And yes I am still thinking about the distorted piano. I could simply remove it, but I'll probably end up replacing it with something else. Still working on the countermelodies, but we'll see where this goes.
