FakePlasticMan's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Serengeti]

Not Bad

Sounded a bit more funk then jazz to me, I would've preferred a swing beat. Very good for being done in reason however. Nice work.

Fredheadzooka responds:

Thanks. By "jazz" I really meant "smooth jazz", but hey! Funk works too. Thanks for the review, man. I appreciate it.

[Flight of the pheonix]

Could be improved a bit

Make sure your guitar is in tune, a few of those power chords "wobbled", unless this was intentional. A more diverse drum loop could help the song, but it sounds like youre more of a guitar guy. Maybe find a way to use less distortion with the same amount of power? It interferes with the overall piece a bit. The tapping/hammers are cool sounding, though could be cleaned up a bit. Spend a bit more time on the composition process, if you think youre done in five minutes, take five more and change something, then change something else. Same with the recording process, if something doesnt match your expectations for recording, punch in and fix it. With some refining, you have potential.

Yours,
R.

darkkloud responds:

well, thanks for the help tips.unfortunatley i only had that one loop for drums available because my drum synthesisers dont work, so i had to use my pedals drum machine.as well as the wobbly sound of the power cords was intentional, it was a slight amount of vibrato with some phaser. this was mearly a rough draft anyways.but i do apreciate the review.

[The Desolate]

Whoa

The dissonant piano was very cool. Perhaps add more complexity to the noise? I dunno though, I like it how it is. Good work.

Badge responds:

Heh, thanks

[Diarrhea Of Death]

Very Unique.

The ska-ish riffs in the beginning were sweet. Not to mention the ripping guitar solo, and some behind the nut stuff i think? And of course the farting was a plus. Excellent job.

cat-bastards responds:

Thanks! >:(

[GuilmonX-00007]

Cool

Nice work, it will serve its purpose well.

TheCon-Sept responds:

It's a theme for Resistance: Fall Of Man...

[Heart Grenade]

Could improve

I liked the modulation on the synth throughout, however a trance tune would normally contain many more instruments. I saw a review before where you said you had some on there before, but you took them out because you thought it sounded worse. I think if you figured out how to mix those other audio tracks in there better, it would make the entire mix a lot clearer, and as an added bonus, you would have a much more diverse sound. Keep trying.

Yours,
R.

Dawei responds:

Well, I will work on one, maybe in a bit, but with those other tracks were in, it wouldn't be trance so I'll work on it, and keep checking back, there should be a different version of this in here

[Part 1 of Instrumental]

Work a bit harder

Guitar sounds out of tune and completely random. No structure as far as a "riff" or a "pattern". Vocals incomprehensible (but i did read this was an accident, so you are forgiven). Work harder to create guitar riffs that are more creative, even simple lines can have great effect. Unless you were going for an avant-garde noise shizl sort of thing, this probably is not going to rate up as your best work. Keep trying, if you have problems with anything i can always help.

Yours,
R.

Dawei responds:

i made this 2 years ago. trust me, it's not my best, that was a horrible thing and i just like putting my horrible stuff on here, than i'll put my ACTUAL stuff on here. i mean, i have a band so i would be embarassed if i went out with a guitar playing like this and singing so softly like my then 10 year old brother. no one would like my band at all!!!!!!!! thanks anyways

[<-Distortion->]

Excellent work

Awesome, powerful sound going here. When the speed picking kicks in, the guitar tone sounds like As I Lay Dying, who also embraces a brutal distortion. Loved it.

DarKsidE555 responds:

YES!! Thats the sound I want to go for. I dig the style of "As I Lay Dying". Even cooler that it sounds like them! Thanks for the review!!
