RogerBK's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[G] Holy Advocate ft. JP & KC]

...

I gotta say this, man, I liked the beats, it's very different from what I ever listened, it sounded different, I liked the beat, but, it has no variations, you just made a beat and repeated it, with a break in the middle of them...

I think the song would be better if you cutted that break between the beats, and made a shorter start, with a low speaker, I couldn't hear the main riff, just the main beat...

I think that break was tottaly useless, it'd be fine if you just breaked it once, and added a different melody and a different beat, the song was w/out life, it sounded dead, and pretty dark, it looked strange... I just think you can fix those problems, and the song'll be fine... Keep it up, man,

[Our Nova Pt. 2]

God...

Man, I'm just impressed, the song has a beautiful sound, it seems like a painting!! I could think in a scenery while I was listening to this, the instruments sounded great, and the start gave a kind of good feeling for me... The middle of the song was pretty cool, too, it sounded perfectly, the whole melodies, the sounds, everything is fine, I can't think in something wrong in it, I just got hypnotized while I was listening to this song, man, it's simply beautiful...

The secret of the perfect sound is the slow parts, the slow begin... With a slow begin, the listener feels more confortable to listen to the song, I loved the begin, it sounded so perfect, so great, it seemed that I was in the top of a mountain, watching the breeze passing trough the trees leafs, it's a great feeling, man, Awesome...

I loved this song, man, you hve a great potential, keep it up, man, I wanna listen more from you, awesome job.

DJ-Chilvan responds:

Thanks for the review man! Yea, this song is most likely my "Mona Lisa" of songs. I really don't think I'll ever create something as wonderful in my life ever again. After starting its production, I was like "make it as perfect as possible," because I didn't want to ruin its potential.
The beginning was what I really stressed as well. I try to make my intros really nice because that's what will catch the listeners attention to hear the rest of the song. Haha, I just finished up a year of high-school level marketing so that actually had an influence on my audio production believe it or notXD

I'm really glad you liked my song, and if you are looking for more from me, check out "Golden Paradise." It rivals this song IMO. Not in style, but in enjoyability.
And more from me is on its way. I'm basically done with high school now so I now have all the time in the world to make music (at least until college startsXD)

[There's Still Hope Left (]

Hi Stepha!!

Hey 'lil Wells, you have some nice skills huh. I liked the song, it has a great melody and it's pretty well executed, I liked the sound of the piano and the other instruments...

The piano did a great job together with the drums, it sounded great, I liked the back beat, it fitted really well to the whole song, I love listening to songs like this one, it has a nice melody, and it's very confortable to listen, the piano sounded great in the 0:47 part, I liked the variation of the melody, the whole song changed, what is great, since the same repetitive thing gets WAY TOO BORINGG...

Anyways, Steph (no more Stepha... xD), you did a great job, you have potential, kid, I wanna listen more songs from you, specially the final version of this one. Keep it up, and, make a big Author Response... :3

Step responds:

Thanks for the review. You now get a big response :3.

"Hey 'lil Wells, you have some nice skills huh."

Thanks. More like luck rather than nice skills but I suppose my year and a half of making music wasn't for nothing xD.

"I liked the song, it has a great melody and it's pretty well executed, I liked the sound of the piano and the other instruments..."

People keep telling me the melody is good, even though one professional said it was uninteresting. You probably like the sound of the piano and the other instruments since they're all from East/West Symphonic Orchestra (minus the drums) which is a very good orchestral library.

"The piano did a great job together with the drums, it sounded great, I liked the back beat, it fitted really well to the whole song, I love listening to songs like this one, it has a nice melody, and it's very confortable to listen, the piano sounded great in the 0:47 part, I liked the variation of the melody, the whole song changed, what is great, since the same repetitive thing gets WAY TOO BORINGG..."

Wow, epic long sentence. While I don't really agree with you about the piano fitting with the drums, since the drums seem to be too rough and repetitive, thanks anyway. Yeah, the main purpose of this is to be easy to listen to, which is why I'm so fussy about that transition at 0:44. Hm, about 0:47, you're not the first one to like that part. I might make it better when I revisit this song. Also, I'm glad you liked the variation; I always make it a point not to make my songs repetitive at all, even though sometimes I fail to follow this point :D.

"Anyways, Steph (no more Stepha... xD), you did a great job, you have potential, kid, I wanna listen more songs from you, specially the final version of this one. Keep it up, and, make a big Author Response... :3"

Thanks a lot for the review! If you want I can PM you when I finish this :). Glad you liked the song, and I hope you like the big response :D.

[p4c-Existentialism]

Excellent Work!!

I really liked this song, it's pretty relaxing, and it's perfect to listen while you're in the Internet, I loved listening to it while I was reading and posting stuff in the BBS, the beats are very well syncronized, the instruments have a great sound, the drums fitted really well to the other instruments, the snts are working perfectly, they made a great beat, I just loved this song...

The quiet part was pretty cool, I liked it, the beat was cool, and it has a nice atmosphere, I really liked the animated parts, too, since they gave more life to the song...

As I said before, the song is pretty relaxing, I didn't see the time passing when I listened to this song, there a lot of soft beats, this contributed to the song. I think you have a great potential, man, keep it up w/ the good work, I wanna listen more songs from you...

p4c responds:

sweet! im happy to see that i kept everything interesting the whole way through for a bunch of reviewers--still maintaining repetitiveness and the same themes throughout, without getting boring. i posted a little analysis of what i did on animith's review--check it out :)

oh, and go ahead and listen to more of them--ive posted a bunch over the past few years, and i think im getting a lot better now.

[Chikaboom [box-killa]]

Awesome melody...

I just think this melody is great, it's so contagious, and it's so brilliant, it has a perfect sound, and it fits really well to the drums and the other instruments... I simply loved the way you builded up the whole song, it was a great job, since there are lots of beats, and drums, and you used them wisely, you putted them in the right places, the drums had a great effect when the beats changed, I simply loved the piano, too, it fitted really well to the drums sound...

Also, the lenght was pretty cool, it wasn't so long, the song didn't get repetitive, and it wasn't so short, the song didn't bored me, since you variated a lot, it has lots of quiet parts, and then, you putted the animated part, it was just like a roller coaster song!!

I simply loved this song, I couldn't find anything bad, I simply loved it, you did a great job, man, keep it up with the AWESOME work...

awesome:D

[Short Circuit]

Nice song.

I really liked the song, awesome beat, and awesome concept, I liked the whole song, it was pretty animated, I liked Techno songs, and this one is one of the best I've listened.

The intro was pretty cool, but I felt something was missing, I don't know what, but it had a catchy sound, I liked the main beat and the back beat, the both worked so well with the song, also, I loved the 1:00 part, I think it was pretty cool, since I love animated songs, also, the part after that was really cool, I liked the beat, and the drums were good too, I don't know what to say, I just think the song was super cool, and different from what I ever heard.

I gave you a 9 since you could add more things to the song, but, anyways, I liked the song, you made a pretty cool job, and you have a great potential, keep it up, man!!

[[G] Friday Night - WIP]

Nice beat, pretty catchy.

The song as a very good beat, your voice fitted really well to the beat, I liked the song, the instruments worked really well together, the beat fitted really well. I liked the mix, you are very creative.

AS you said in the comments, you used the beat from other author, that's pretty cool, since it's a great beat, it had a great sound, I liked the song. I don't know how to review Hip Hop songs, since I don't listen too much songs like this one, but I liked the variations and the instruments. Keep it up, man, you have a great potential.
And yes, you should make a full version.

[[DX] A Cold Night]

Good melody.

I liked the song, the melody, but, you repeated it too much, the whole song is the ame thing, the same melody, the same riff. I just think that's a nice song, you made a nice job, I liked the beggining, but the middle of the song got a bit boring, you repeated the same melody with 3 instruments. A piano, a guitar and a synt. (I think, correct me if I'm wrong)

I just think that you could variate a bit more, use different instruments, and you'll be fine, it's a great melody, but you shouldn't repeat it too much, people get bored easily. Anyways, you have potential, keep it up, man. UP BRAZIL! Yea!

dx5231 responds:

Actually, I repeated the same exact thing twice: with a synth and a piano. I only used the guitar thing in the beginning.
I still have to test out all the instruments I have to see which would sound better on this song.
Thanks for the review

About Brazil... meh..

[Eva (Demo)]

Nice.

Nice dance song, man, I liked the simple beat it has, it's a new beat, I never heard this beat before, that's a nice beat for a Dance song, pretty animated and cool, it has a happy atmosphere, I liked the both beginning and the end, I liked the end, it got a bit sad when you stopped the beat, but, it was great! I love to listen to songs like this one, animated and happy.

I liked the song, the beat was pretty cool, but I don't wanna give you a bad grade. I wanna wait 'til the full version comes out. Then, I'll give you the right and deserved grade for the song. Anyways, keep it u w/ the good work, you have potential, man!

[[herd] First Hip-Hop song [WIP]

Nice!!

I liked the song, I'm hate Hip Hop, but this song was different from what I have in mind, you made a great beat, I like the piano in it, it sounded great, there was something new in the song, I never heard a Hip Hop song like this one, you made a great song. I just think you should find a singer, the song'd be way cooler, but, please, don't put that horrible Hip Hop lyrics...

I like the Hip Hop beat, I think it's something cool for a slow song, and it fitted really well to this song (a slow song). So, the instruments fitted really well to the main beat, what is great to the listener, since we feel something more, something better.

I just think the song got a bit too repetitive, also, I felt something was missing, but I don't know what it is. Anyways, you made a great job with this song, you really have a great potential, keep it up, man, I wanna listen more songs from you!
