GamekrazzyProduction's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fake 'n' bake chip loop]

Ah, I didn't review this song yet?

I like your trills in this song. The tune is addicting to listen to. The flow is nice. If anything, I would avoid making a loop for contests where as the judges want a song that has a beginning and an end.

Mawnz responds:

Thanks you ^^ Yea I thought about that so I'm just going to add an ending to it for the competition. Thanks for reminding me :D
Good luck!

[Hard Lock]

umm.... is there a scratch on the disk mum? This melody keeps playing over and over and over and over and over.... LOL

OK, on a serious note, the song is way to repetitive to start. However, I do have to say you have some interesting things going on in this piece. I'd work to stay away from constant repetition, I cant tell you how many times I wanted to stop listening just because of how annoying that melody is after a short while.... (Ah I was right!!!!! there is a scratch on the disk!!!!!! LOL, the best part was the end!)

I think you could have done better. 3.5/5

bigbadron responds:

i probably could have done better, but it's not very often that i produce music anymore. i hit walls, stop, and usually never come back to it. so when i start making a track, i try to do it in one sitting. sometimes they do come out a bit repetitive, but i am still pleased with it. listening to it now, i could have changed a thing here and there, but i could do that forever.

most likely, i'll probably remix what i have and make it much nastier. something that wouldn't fit the contest. :P but thanks for your input.

[Fuzzy the Robot Bee]

Great Build up!!!!!
Sounds like a title theme for a game titled "Fuzzy the Robot Bee".
OH!!! neat thing near the ending there, the bee must have gotten a power up!
Overall I really enjoyed this song, however, the ending seemed a bit short. (But that is just my personal opinion.) Great job nonetheless.

SourJovis responds:

Maybe there should've been a more quiet part after this end, to fit the plot chart better. Or perhaps this is exactly how they want it. I don't know. We'll see. Thanks for the review.

[Our Adventure (Mac13)]

So many sampled sounds!!!! XP
This is real good. brings back my childhood!!
I like your bridge about 2 minutes in!
Now, because I can't find anything wrong in this, I am going to try and name the sampled sounds I hear!
1. Coin
2. Sonic's jump
3. Mario Pipe

Sadly, that is all I hear, if there is more, think you could reply, and let me know what they are?

Jabun responds:

Cheers, GamekrazzyProduction! I'm really glad you enjoyed it. As for the sampled sounds, you are soooo close XD
1. Gameboy Colour turn-on sound (pitched to fit the key of the piece)
2. I think you're right, though I sampled this off the 8-bit effects patch on my brother's kaossilator. It's certainly someone's jump XD
3. Spot on! That was indeed the Mario pipe sound (from world 1-2 I believe XD)

Other than that, there were just a load of Commodore 64 drum sounds I found. Thanks for noticing all the little things I put in. I think they really help the piece to come alive (and tickle that oh so sweet nostalgia XD) Cheers : D

[Downward Spiral]

Not related to the subject, is your username like a mix of your 2 favorite video games, Mario, and Halo? lol JK

Anyways, this song is quite interesting to listen to. I like the melody, I really like the flow of the song, however... if anything, the song is a bit repetitive. That overlaying melody does not end does it? XP
Either way, great song overall!

Yoshiii343 responds:

1) Nope. Not even close. :3
I've never even played those 2 games.

2) That overlaying melody does stop. There's just no variation of it.
Oh wait, are you talking about that simple progression thing going on? If so, no, it doesn't stop. :/

[(8-bit) A Labor of Love]

"Hmm, the song first creates a picture for the listener, then events start to happen around a minute in, A layover of the scenery plays yet again after the events, then the start of something new occurs changing the layover of the scenery. And yet again, a layover of the scenery...."

Let me just say WOW, this is a well built song. The only thing I have to say, is you did not finish the song, you built it to loop, and I could easily tell that from the way it ended. But, that is my only complaint. AMAZING! Keep up the good work!

NoStereo responds:

Thanks for the Awesome review! :)

[-YRX- GameOver4U!]

lol, Dubstep 8-bit.... (Talk about unexpectancy) I don't expect to drop the bass while I am playing video games! lol So, let me just say AMAZING! I don like you you try to keep the song from getting repetitive, which it shouldn't, and it isn't. at least in my books... ( that might just be due to the dubstep though) The song loops well, which is good, however as far as I am aware, MAC13 was for a song and such. still though, great song. (I really enjoyed it!)

YouriX responds:

Yeah i dont like making my songs repetitive and such. I want to keep the listener guessing. Wich to me is very important for a good song.

By the way!

Thank you for the lovely review ;)

P.S

I dont think it would be a problem it being a loop. It seem to very fitting for it to loop. If its going to be used in a game.

[Chilltronics (MAC 13)]

Interesting tune you got going on here. For those of you who have issues with repetivity, what this guy did from 00:30 to 00:32 is a great way to do get away with a repetitive track! So kudos to you on that Island-of-Insight. Another break at around 50 seconds in! I am impressed. You are quite good at doing breaks and such, however IMO I would have loved to hear some more variety. So, not just breaks.
Overall, fantastic work.

I would like to point out to you though, that the requested song length was about 2 - 3 minutes and this doesn't quite cut that point. Another thing I found, is you made this a loop, which in a way is ok, but when it comes to animations and movies, a coda would be nice. Anyways, I enjoyed your song, have a nice day!

Island-of-Insight responds:

Nice review, however in regards to it being repetitive; I'd like to point out that the song is only 53 seconds long. I looped it once to show that a good loop doesn't sound the same twice. Admittedly a fade in intro or outro would make for a better animation but I'm not sure newgrounds supports that sort of looping.

[The Spaceshuttle]

0 votes still? What's wrong with people? lol
(Oh wait, you haven't been scouted, well that's gotta change!)

I like the build up on this song! Very addicting tune!
This song makes me think of Earthbound!

I honestly like how this song is built, however you seem to be having the same problem a lot of artists get... REPETITION. Its alright, the song is catchy, and a very nice listen. But for future reference, try to avoid that repetition of the same chord progression, for instance add some breaks, and a bridge. Add a completely new addition to the song. Seriously, don't be afraid to do something different. (That's what people like to hear, VARIETY)

Jonur responds:

Love your review! It's down to point and serious. And thanks for the scout mate!

I also agree with you. I guess it's too late to change the song for the MAC13-contest, but I should probably rework it a later session! You should check out some of my other songs, which are a lot more worked through.

Btw nice profile you have. I like your art, I'll go and review and rate some of it now. :)

[Armingeddon (Mac13)]

Lol

I started bobbing my head, then I looked at your avatar!

lol, on a serious note, the song is built quite well, and while I can hear some tension in some parts, I do notice there is no build up to that tension, or really anything in relation to that. However, IMO this song is a great listen.

E-lie responds:

Thank you for listening! I wish I could edit it more, I just rushed it out because I was eager and nervous for the contest, but ah well what can you do. Thanks for the critique.
