[[SS] >Evil Ice Cream<]

Cool :D

Pretty good! I liked the beats :3 The main criticism I thought of is the synths. There was a lot of repetition, (which is fine, I can't help repeating myself a shit ton in my music :P) but, it was always just a single synth with the beat in the background. I think this would sound way better if you layered more than one synth over another. Like the main synth with a bassline or something. Other than that, really good!

SilentSpace responds:

Thanks for the review!
Yeah, in this one I actually only used two synths besides the hat and the clap. Both were generated with the magical8bitplugin.
Later, I may submit a second version with much more to it. For now however, I left it simple so it sounded like it could come from an ice cream truck.

[<V>Devils Dance<V>]

Good :)

It was really good! Maybe you could try more variation with the synths you use? I recognized a lot of Sytrus synths. I absolute LOVE the bass line that kicks in at 1:54 though ^_^ I love the dark sound this song has. Keep up the good work!

veanm responds:

yea i like sytrus XD, i use it all the time yea i thought that was cool to, thanks for review =D

[LightHouse Madness]

Great work!

Wow, this is awesome! Great job! Sure, it could use some "polishing up" here and there, like you said, but, damn! For a first song, this is awesome! WAYYY better than my first song. Hahaha... Anyways, this is really great! I guess synth choice could have been a little better, and the bass synth is kind of cool how it changes tone or whatever, but it's kind of too loud, so the main synth isn't as prominent as it should be. But, wow, the beats were AMAZING (beats are a real challenge for me, so props to you on this one) and this song had some really nice parts :). Great job! :D

OceanPath responds:

Thanks :D I know the synth sound are a bit odd but i was exited for working on my first song so i rushed it at the end so it would get done ^^ The beat was the first thing i did on this song cuz i was sitting up 1 night and listening to Drum n Bass music and i tought " I wanna do a beat like that" so i did :D ty for all the good tips i could sure use them cuz im still pritty bad at making music (:

[Beginnings [RxKing]]

Dayummm!!

10/10, 5/5, 2 thumbs up, whatever the hell you want, because this is awesome. Especially for a first song. You're certainly off to a good start! (My first song was pathetic). I really respect the atmospheric trance sorta style you've got going on or whatever you would call it. I've always admired the subtle beauty in that type of music, and I've attempted numerous times to make such a song, but failed miserably. TT_TT. Anyways, amazing song. Great beats, love the pads, and love the piano too. What program did you use?

RxKing responds:

Dude, I love you (no homo). Thanks for the kind words!
For some reason, this is the easiest type of music for me to pump out. I'm basically retarded when it comes to any other genre.
This was on FL Studio... mostly sticking with Zeta+. Used FL Keys for the piano, sounded waaay better than I thought it would.

PS: keep rocking the VG remixes. Fucking love that shit.

[Five Alarm Breakdown]

Awesome!

This is an awesome song! I'm used to just hearing techno and that sort of thing on the Newgrounds Audio Portal, but to hear something like this is really cool. I really like this song. Like the drums, guitar, vocals, everything is awesome. Downloading now!

NOSband responds:

Thanks,

We Are Working On Some New Stuff Soon

Keep An Ear Out

Rock On,

[Carameldancing :3]

awesome!

great track!! Yeah, this song is Caramelldansen by Caramell. totally catchy right? i was kinda doubtful at the beginning, but the chorus guitar sounds GREAT. I will admit that when I read about the solo, I was skeptical, but you pulled it off. it sounds great! could use an improvement here and there, but overall, its awesome! nice stuff! I'm downloading this!

natasha-the-cat responds:

Thank you I was actually going to redo the beginning but once I decided that if I changed it any more it would sound like crap, I just left it like it was, I do know that I'm missing quite a few parts in the song so I might update it in the future

[Pokemon G/S/C Surfing Symphony]

WOW o.0

that... was... amazing~!! a great version of a great video game song. superb!

ArcX responds:

Thanks! I was beginning to think that my song was just getting ignored xD

[The Synthesized Orchestra]

woah

great track! awesome beats, cool synths, etcetera, etcetera. putting this on my iPod! keep up the good work.

d00dfayz responds:

Thank you.

[Streets of Rage {RMX}]

CrimzonWolf777 responds:

haha glad you like it! ^_^v

[StH2 -- Mystic Cave Zone]

Sweet

Are you kidding me? This is an awesome remix! This is one of my favorite videogame songs of all time, and you did a great job on this track. Liked the voice (instrument) selections, and the improv-ish ending is not only a great idea, but also composed and played great. 9.99999/10 (that 0.00001 is just out of jealousy because this is EXACTLY what I was hoping to do when I made my remix of Mystic Cave Zone.)

SockpuppetRemix responds:

Thanks for the review!
And if your still going to make that remix, I'd like to hear it. =)
