EctiBot's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Forgotten Secrets]

Sounds awesome :D, Was really fun to listen too and I never got tired of it :).
Wish that the lead had one more powerful layer, but other than that I loved it :D.
Loved the synths you used :D. I oved the part at 1:04

A really great atmospheric/ dancey piece :D.
4.5 stars and favourite.

This makes me happy to see that someone really enjoyed this. You might enjoy my second AIM submission a lot more though. ;)

[Breaking Crystals]

The intro was amazing :D.
When the guitar comes in though I feel like the track dropped in quality. The guitar sounded really low quallity really low quality. Lowed the drop though. Really like this kind of melodic dubstep :). Wish you had varied this a bit more though. The clap sample you used also sounded bad. They sound like the basic Fl studio claps which I honestly have learned to hate from the bottom of my heart :3.

Anyways I loved this track except from the clap and guitar. I liked the way you used the guitar. just didn't like the sound of it.

4 stars.

aCreator responds:

I made a huge mistake with the guitar that's right... The problem was that I recorded with the microphone input of my computer. Was really a stupid idea... Now I bought an interface and I can clearly hear the difference! Huge difference...

And that's a reason I really like Newgrounds. The people here know their stuff and help each other. That's really great :)
(And I'm sorry to disappoint you but I use Logic Pro, not FL Studio. But that doesn't change the fact that my clap sounds like crap)
Thank you for the nice review!

[Winter Weary]

Felt like the piano at the beginning could have been better.
Really like the melody though. It's a really pretty piece which very well varied
Though it's also a bit repetetive some times.

Sorry that I can't do a long and proper review, but I really liked this piece :).

4 stars.

[Poems for Darkness]

Nice :D. Sounds like a true classical piano composistion one of the true masters would make :D.
It's amazing that you managed to perform this live in one take :o.
This piece reflects the artwork really well :D

A nother true masterpiece :D. Had a fitting length to it as well :).
5 stars.

MetroPiano responds:

Thanks for the review!

[Light in the Darkness]

Beautiful :o. A real masterpiece :D.
Sounds really professional.

Lol I have a serious problem now Xd. Got like 15 tracks that are my favourites in this contest XD. Will be near to impossible to only choose 3 of them :(.

Anyways, a true masterpiece. Felt like it could have been a tad bit longer though. Kinda stopped at the buildup.
Thus, 4.5 stars :).

Emid responds:

I specially stopped it as I wanted to maintain the integrity of the innocence in the art. It was to show that innocence stays innocent even after winning the battle with darkness. She (the girl in the picture) goes back to the swing like nothing happened. It was her innocence.
Many thanks for the comment. Really glad that you enjoyed.

[A last Cigarette]

A really nice, video game-ish ambient pice :). It's incredibly soothing and I love the feeling it gives me.
Feel like it gove built up into something biggger though.

Nice piece. 4 stars.

[Creeping Malice]

Good track :).
Felt like the track overall could use some more presence. Sounded really monotone which took away alot of power from it. Everything else was pretty good :D. Sounded really like something I would hear in old Ps2 games which I like.

Overall I think it was a solid track. With a bit more power to it it would reflect the image of a giant monster. Keep it up :D.
4 stars.

[Fox-trot Fletcher]

Dammit steam. Awesomeness has it's limits you know XD. This fits the artwork perfectly and is probably my favourite song in this contest.
Haven't listened to a song by you since the Lost one's weeping collab you did with dj-jo (Which happens to be one of my 3 favourite songs on the site). Ended up only following him, but now I see that you definetly are worth following as well :D.

Great piece. Instant 5. Again. Probably amaong my favourites in this competition :D.

steampianist responds:

thank you im very flattered

[Deep]

This is a bit better than your first submission.
Feels like it fits the Image of frozen oceans and Antartica.
I do still feel though that it's too repetetive.
The basswork is amazing as well as the mixing.
The high pitch sound that comes in each bar or so is a bit distractingand annoying to listen too.
Not a huge fan of this kind of dubstep, but I feel like it still was pretty good.

3.5 stars
