my-garbage's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Last Prophecy (Clip)]

Good overall

I am sure the original file can fit on NG. The song is only 3:46 secs long and you have a 6.3 mb file! You must have uploaded this song in the highest quality (320 bps). No wonder the song sounds clear. However, I will have to say that even for a trance this is way too repetitive. It's like the same chord progression for the entire song! It has a intense theme so maybe a possible war scene in a flash, but as a stand alone song...I'm getting bored at the 1 minute mark. Not much to critic you on. Only the repetitiveness. So I give you a 9/10 review.

[~EnV~Heaven Rd. 2 (Ng mix)]

Awesome start, mediocre after that

Like the mini vox going on. At 31 seconds in sorry dude but I think that synth is soo annoying! You should have completely changed that instrument. Weirdly enough I'm getting some kind of folk dance song style which I heard in a old song not on NG. Wow that was a little too long of a piano duet. If you didn't loop the piano notes than it could of been better. It also has a similar beat to the previous part of the song...now just a different instrument. Yeah there might be a slight difference in composition but not enough to be called a change. Song repeats again to them synths I don't like. The kick is nice so good job on that part. The closing rhythm is nice but the phasing to end the song just did not fit. You should have just done a simple fade out rather than phasing fade out. Well your come back song got on the top list so congrats. Needs some modifications, but I'll give you a good score. 8/10. See yah.

Yes another garage band user

Hey that's how most mac users started out including me. Bunch of loops strung together makes a easy piece to make. Only problem is somehow you actually made a perfectly mastered prerecorded loop distorted. Why? Well you made a decent loop fest, but I think you could have done way better at what loops to combine. How about for your future songs you actually compose something? Get a midi keyboard and let your inspiration take off instead of this gb looping in all your songs....or at least the ones I took a listen too. Macs are good. Since first time reviewing you I will be easy and give you a generous 7/10 review. See yah.

Ya, I can see where u r coming from, plus im not really a DJ and I doubt I will ever get the supplies to become a techno DJ masta, but these songs I made up are just my WannaBe DJ screamin; out there. Loops or not, thanks for da Commet!

[Quiggnoobz]

I am going to be nice here

Since this is your first time using FL I will go easy on this review. Your right about the rhythm cause everyone knows that pattern. My tip to you is to get rid of the oscillator. Your first time doing that so I'll let it go but your next song hopefully will not have that annoying oscillator running. Some dancy drums which are good but you could at least change the drums later in the song. I like the heaven sound at 49 seconds in. Put some massive fat on it to truly make it heavenly if that made sense to you. Oh and more reverb on the sounds. Feels empty without reverb. I will grade you a 9/10 but that's because this was your first time using FL. I'll be much more critical in my next review to you. Your on the right track though so keep going. See yah.

Cheers some helpful info there ill do wat i can for the next song

[(::Let me Explain...::)]

Your best so far

Hey that is a nice flute. Probably generic and did you buy the garage band drum pack? If so which one? The classical pack, remix pack, ethnic pack, or whatever the last one is called? Anyway the drums worked and though they are prerecorded seriously who really makes their drums from scratch? Maybe the clapping or techno simple bass drum beat, but most people just download them or use prerecorded ones so I can't complain. Still missing the good harmonies. Too empty song still. I'm waiting for the splashes of white noise, filter modulations, etc. but instead I got a classical like song with very minor techno parts. Unique I give you that so a 8/10. You will eventually get a 10 from me. Your getting better so that is a good sign. See yah.

FatKidWitAJetPak responds:

Getting better is a good sign, I agree. But The reason I'm using garageband is because I am really a begginner when it comes to all this stuff. But I'm getting REALLY good program FOR CHRISTMAS!! YAY.

[(::The Final Countdown::)]

Okay I'll review some of your better stuff

I think this song is cute. I do recognize some of the garage band instrument but that program is so limiting I can't blame you for using these generic instruments. Some prerecorded drum loops including that techno one you used. At least some of the composition you made so yes you are on the right track. For a title called "The final countdown" I was expecting something more serious. I picture myself playing one of those old sega games like "the lost vikings" . That game has a lot of this spacy quirky music. I like the drums but everything else just makes me confused. I will give you a nice 7/10 review. See yah.

FatKidWitAJetPak responds:

Ok, you got me. ^__^ I do use SOME pre-set loops. But I change their notes around. (Really) And I equalize them, AND I even make my own and set them in different synthezisers that I made my self. So It's harder than it looks.)

[Edd's Crappy Song]

Hah...you guys are way too nice

This song is just a bunch of prerecorded loops from garage band. Goneloco92...you are a very nice person for giving a 8. I give this a big fat 2/10. The 2 comes from actually making a decent compilation of loops. Those violins always remind me of the anime yakitate japan. See yah and congrates on making it way up on the top 50 list. Explains a lot about the AP ehh?

[Skywards]

Hmm not sure about this one

It sounds almost identical to some Christian song I listened too. Just maybe different instruments but the exact same beat. Oh well. You probably made this all but the originality is way down. I like the beat so I'll give you a decent review score.

PianoFortress responds:

hhhmmh too bad I don't listen to that kind of music....

[Just Begun]

Not feeling it

Yeah I know you newgrounders are going to disagree with me. The music is good as usual by you but the vocals weren't top notch. With a couple more years of practice you should have a decent voice. Your vox is much better than most of the musicians on the AP, but still far from professional singing quality. Not sure whats up with the sudden cutoff at the end of the song. Now I think you were smart to implement vox in this song cause with out it the song would bore me. At least you got some vocal practice. Good luck with your future lyrical music. See yah
