AaronR's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Zinger]

No more drugs...for that man.

happy happy, cheerful uplifting and so on. Excellent use of all the instruments. I love the string sound you got there, and the cheesy sounding synths added the needed "happy" touch to the song (cheesy, not in a bad way...in a good way)...Drum work was good. Overall another nice song. Keep at it.

crud responds:

When i first read your subject title "No more drugs.." i got freaked out, because while i wrote this song i was a little buzzed! I just was feeling my way through the song, what came out is QUITE pop. I'm not even sure why i didn't put this under dance music..oh well....thanks for the wonderful comments, feels REAL good..ahhh. I will keep at, but not for much longer...school.. :(

[No Win]

nice

That was sweet man...I thought the brass sound was pretty good. The part where the strings came in gave it a full effect..then of course the song ended (damn you i was jammin). Overall it was good, it could of been longer, but hey alot of my songs are short too...So good work keep it up man.

illumatiks responds:

LMAO!! my fault, didnt mean to stop yur jammin, i have tha full versions, i just only submit tha intro, chorus and verse, next time ill submit tha whole thing so yu can jam longer

thanks for tha review

[The Goal is in sight]

one after the other

It had a video game feel to it. With the game like synths, and the pizzcato string, it gave alot of power to the song. Overall, nice work. Keep them coming.

crud responds:

i also felt that final fantasy-ish video game score type feeling to it after i finished it. glad yah like yah like it despite it's non-techno-ish quality...a true listener! ;)

[The Better Life]

hah

Man that was funky. I was doing a little dance while listening to it. Very nice song there, was awesome.

Wanion responds:

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

[Memoranda Fixed]

yay for the bendy strings

That was sweet man. I loved the bending string intro. Then at 1:08 when it all came together damn. the synth work was awesome. Great track.

DJStain responds:

Thanks Aaron, you're creative as well bro, maybe we can compose together one day. Hit me up on AIM or e-mail. Look at my profile.

[just happy to be alive]

ouch

had my volume on my headphones too loud..think that first fuzzkick broke my eardrum. Lets see here. the beat was pretty funky...Odd bass, but it fit in quite nicely. And either your using the plucked, or its just a tweaked out 404..but whichever it was, that mixed with everything else gave the song some comfort. "I don't even know why i submitted this" pfft...I should smack you...the title says it all, it's cheery, happy, and funky...Somthing you may listen to one on of those great days. I thought it was good, I really like your style. Keep the songs coming.

crud responds:

haha, sorry bout that intro blast. ;) uh, yeah,the bass is made with WASP and i just fell in love with it. the bendy pluck sound is actually a synth harpsichord preset with portamento...i started this song thinking to myself, i just wanna make something happy. i guess this acheived that, thank you for noting it. the whole "i don't know why...." thing...i uh, well it was just really short and i pumped it out in like 2 hours, kinda like a whim, i'm almost didn't submit it. but with your great review i guess it was worth is, thanks a bunch man. i really appreciate. you can bet the songs will keep coming!

[Kiill anyone]

nice

Sweet track, The drum work was excellent. the synth bass was good, would of been better if you had changed it up a bit but oh well. the whole track was crazy, and thats what made it great...good work.

randomdude responds:

Thanx bud

[Kinda Sad]

nice work

very ambient. I like the guitar, harp..whatever that is. As it was playing i was thinking to myself.."wow if this had a drum beat this would kick ass" Then 5 seconds later bam a drumbeat to put everything in its place. Great work on this song. I enjoyed listening to it.

mostlyharmless2k responds:

That's pretty much the same thing my friend said about the drums. He listened to it once not very carefully, and he told me I should probably fade em in somehow, but then he listened again, and told me they come in at the perfect time.

[Striving for a better tomorrow]

this is crap!

what were you thinking? this is garbage!! I demand that you walk your sorry ass off a freakin cliff for wasting 2 minutes and 25 seconds of my life!...Anyway yeah... ... ... Good tune you made there. It was more of a laid back chill techno song, somthing you can bob your head too. Nice use of the 404, the synth work with it was nice. I notice your still using the "plucked", but you fit it in quite well in the song. I never have any luck with it myself...anyway yeah keep it up, i hope to see some more tunes from you soon.

crud responds:

i'm a little confused right now...*<8o(
i think your bi-polar, or your sarcasm doesn't come across very well over the internet....by tha way, you certainly have a knack for tuning your ears out for certain instruments i use. i'm gonna have to try harder so that you can't tell what i'm using :)

thanks for the startling review and i hope you keep on jammin!

[Reach the Unreachable]

have a review

Figured i would shoot a return review. The synth work is pretty good. I liked the part at 1:49 when it really started to pick up. It was a good song over all. But I think you can do better, actually I know you can do better. But it was a sweet song so I'll slide you a 4. You deserve it, keep up the good work man.

Dre responds:

Thanks, yeah I agree that I could've done better, in fact that applies to all my work, I get better every day :P
I aprieciate the good feedback :)
