EctiBot's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Solitude]

Interesting. Felt a tad bit to repetetive for my liking and I don't really think this fits the image.
Some of the bass parts sounded a bit too "random" as well.
It's really well mixed and sounds cool, but I think it still needs a lot more work to earn a 5.

[Nocturne nr.5 in C-sharp minor]

A beautiful piano piece :D. This piece packs alot of emotion I can really feel the picture from it :D.
Sound like something one of the great composers of the old days like Mozart would make.
Didn't expect to find such a masterpiece in the A.I.M :D.
Having a really hard time findig faults in such a beautiful composistion :D.

5 stars

This review made my day even brighter then it already was! Thanks for writing this nice review, and for following me!

[!-Duress-!]

Pretty much agree with what RealFaction said. Feel like it needs more layers, though I don't really think that the wobble bass notes are off. Feel like the transistion between the different parts of the drop could have been better.

I do think though that this art reflects the image very well. Gives me the feeling of a big city at night for some reason. Probably because of the synths used.

A really good dubstep track with only a few things I disliked.
4 stars

[New Dawn]

Sorry. Didn't really feel it.
Sounded very chaotic and random throughout. Just never understood what way you were going with the song and I didn't really listening to it.
The sounds used are pretty good though and it is really ambient which I like, but honestly I didn't really like this.

Have listened to alot of your other stuff and I know that you can do alot better :/.
2.5 stars.

DESHIEL responds:

Judging from your own work I absolutely understand why you didn't understand nor like what I did here.

It's alright, I can't satisfy everybody. ;)

[JustnotEnough]

Wow you got talent. this piece really is beautiful. Feel like the mixing could use a bit of work as the piano gets drowned by everything else.
I pretty much agree with Aero and RF.

The part at 1:25 was way too random for my liking. There were no buildup to it and you just suddenly changed the song from having an acoustic feel, to an analog/digital feel instead which I didn't really like.

The Piece is still pretty and beautiful. I like the percussion though it could have been better mixed. The melody is pretty nice and chill :)

3.5 stars

bolisa responds:

Yeah, i have to work with the mixing, mixing is not my strongest point.

Thanks for the lovely review!

[Darkest Hour]

Feel that it was a bit too repetetive. some of the instruments are also a bit too loud.
I kinda got bored of the track at 1:40 as well.
Other than that it was pretty solid :D. Reminds me of Zelda so it really fits the image of a knight.
The instruments sound pretty clear as well.

3.5 stars

[Final Battle]

Epic!. This is siiiick. The beginning is amazing and the way the song further progresses is outstanding.
Really got the feeling of a large scale battle going down.
I do feel though that the chord guitar that comes in around 1:55 could have been louder and a bit more powerful. Other than that this is awesome :D.

4.5 stars.

[Crime FighterZ]

Felt like the main lead needed a bass-ish synth layer to it. Other than that I loved it :D.
Fits the image well and reminds of a track that would be the theme song for a game or something :D
4.5 stars.

DuttonsaysHi responds:

Thanks! yeah I had a pretty thick lead to begin with but I changed to to the more high pitched synth since it created less clutter and gave everything a little more breath and space.

[Children of Saturn]

LOVED IT!! :D. The intro was amazing and I loved those sounds. When the Kick kicked in at around 0:40 I wanted to start rave :D. and when the buildup started at 1:10 I was only thinking "Flawless".
And 1:30. Holy cow and 1:30 O_O. Almost threw me out of the seat becuase of how awesome it was :D

Glad I participated in this contest or I never would have gotten to hear bout you :D.
Haven't gone through all the songs yet, but this is probably going to be one of my tree fan favourites :D.

Instant 5.

JoshuaHughes responds:

I'm truly humbled, good sir! Making stuff that makes other people enjoy themselves, however slight that is, feels great!

[Diskovr - Flight]

Awesome :D. Loved the synths, and the mixdown is pretty. The melody is awesome as well :).
As stated earlier by RF it is a bit too repetetive and the happy, upbeat feeling it gives, dosen't fit the image of an abonded planet, but it dose fit the image of being in space though.

A great piece :D. 4 stars and favourite

ksthultz15 responds:

Thanks for the review and the fav! :D Im getting better at my mixdowns for sure. Im glad people are noticing. As I stated earlier, this was my first attempt at such a genre, so I have much to learn. Though I do appreciate the feedback you guys are giving :D Thanks again!
