EctiBot's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Trapity Trap.]

Liked the sounding of it. I feel like you could have varied the melody a bit more between 0:00 to 0:25.
After that it was pretty well varied and it always introduced something, which kept my interest up :).
Feel like the mixing could have been better. At the loudest parts, I can cleary hear that the frequencies clash, like at around 2:50.
I feel like this track lacks a proper bassline. You have a bass synth playing the melody, but you have no actual base line, which make me feel like the track is lacking something
Loved you brought back the beginning melody at the end :).

Was a pretty solid effort, but I do think some things could be done better.
Keep up the good work :).
3.5/5 stars

[Planets and Saturn - Zildy]

Love your style :D. Sounds very nice and chill. Felt like the vocals were slightly of the rhytm at some points, but nothing major. The vocals themself was amazing and I really liked the lyrics :).
Liked the experimental feel of it. Was kinda like dubstep without a huge bassdrop. Didn't feel the synth that came in at 01:37. Sounded a bit too basic for my taste. Might have sounded better if you had a layer of bass synth there.

You really got some talent and I love how original you are :). I think you definetly deserve more recognition. Well anyways. You've earned yourself 4/5 stars and a fan. I'm sure I'll se great things from you in the future :D.

Thanks so much for the awesome/helpful comment!!!

[Anaschisma]

Awesome :D. Loved the glitch effect, and the melody was awesome. Felt like it could have used some more synth layers though and you could have added a deep bass as well.
Solid work though. Very groovy and sweet :D.

[Darkened]

Lol why Haven't I heard about you before now XD?. You make AMAzing stuff. Seriously :D.

Just a true masterpiece :).

[Test]

Vocals are a tiny bit loud sometimes, but other than that, this is epic as always man :).

Greenskullkid responds:

Thx

[Old Tree (A.I.M Contest)]

Nice :D!. Loved the atmosphere. The leading bel instrument is pretty nice, but I wished you had added some more layers with different sounding bells as well. Like a bell orchestra.
The SubBass is amazing :D. Low that deep, low end, ambient feel it gives.
The melody is well varied as well, which I think is important for an ambient track.
As RealFaction said, I feel like it could use another instrument. Something like a sawsynth over it all just to give it that little extra.

Overall I really liked your track :D!. 4 stars.

[First Sunshine]

Pretty cool and nice ambient-ish DnB :D. Fits the image very well and it has that chill feeling to it. Loved the woobble bass and the instruments and samples you used were amazing. This is very well structured and very well varied as well. Felt like you could have added a bit more dynamics in the song to keep it interesting, like some variations with the bass volume and melody at certain points.

Other than that a very solid track. My favourite DnB of the contest after going through half of the submissions. Keep it up :D.
4.5 stars.

AeroMusic responds:

theres been some great dnb this contest so I'm happy you like this one so much :D
I have an awful tendency to not deviate too much from the original melody and progressions when making dnb but I'll try and switch it up more next time!

[His Way]

On this kind of track, the instrumental either has to be well or varied, or the vocals has to be good. Sorry, but I didn't feel like this track had any of this qualities. I understand that the vocals was supposed to sound crappy, but I didn't like that it sounded crappy :/. If they didn't this could have sounded pretty good.

I liked the lyrics though and the instrumental is a good backing track. Just feel like this could have become a lot better and I was kinda disappointed.

2.5

SoulSecure responds:

Varied? In the kind of music this is mainly influenced by there is barely any variation compared to other genres. In any case I've got some ideas that I'm trying out with this song, that may call for me to redo the low vocals on the first verse (to not do the random note thing and just sing it). It depends on if I change things to be more melodic or more percussive.

[AIM - Alien Cave]

The percussion was pretty good, but this was overall pretty much poorly mixed. Alot of frequencies crash and alot of the synths are way to loud like the one at 1:40.
It's also way too random for my liking at some points, At other points though I really digged it.

3 stars.

FortressLord responds:

Yeah, this was a weird one. BUT I've been full-time practising, so the randomness won't be a problem now I've self taught some music theory.
Thanks for your time.
