IKONiC's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Break The House Down (Remix)]

Sorry it took so long

Liking that main synth alot. I think that the track is really mellow, only thing is that I find it to be repetitive and frankly, lacking a few elements. Oh well, great track, I really enjoyed this one. I would definitely get a thicker, fuller bass though :)

Syztm responds:

Haha no problem man, thanks a lot :)

[|MP| Winter Preview]

Read.

Preview is spelled with an E not an I but it's ok.

MuzikProd responds:

lol, ill fix that

[Toronto Sunrise {durn}]

hey der dude

love the synths used man. They're great and they really fit. Overall, this song is really good. I liked the guitar riffs. Makes the song seem a little more videogamish, which is good.

Keep it up man. If I wasn't bent over crookedly on this keyboard attempting to watch tv, lie down and type, i'd write you a longer review where I wouldn't have to worry about constant typos. <3

durn responds:

lol, thanks man. too bad a few zero-bombers thought otherwise. :D

[Where you from... {696}]

hmm

Interesting intro, although I would change up the percussion samples. They sound very bland and almost 'stock' if you know what I mean. They somewhat clash especially in volume. Just try EQing a bit more and learn to master and none of these things would conflict at all. Nice track. Great job! Love it. Keep it up.

EoD696 responds:

Thanks, appreciate the advice :)

[Dreaming Out Loud (Tilky Mix)]

right?...

And you managed to get two undeserving top 5s. Although this one is easier on the ears, it's very repetitive. It's just a loop and well... I can't really explain myself more than the way I explained myself in the last review; presets, generic, etc.

I like the guitar though. Keep it up, but stop whoring votes. It's why the system is corrupt to begin with.

Tilkanuts responds:

Again, different strokes for different folks. I honestly don't know what is so generic about it. and AGAIN.........I've heard much, MUCH worse in top 5 so stop saying anything is not top 5 worthy.

[Psychedelica - Panic Pt.2]

Wow...

Not to ruin your parade but this is very undeserving of top 5. Especially 2nd place. Sorry to say it, but you got lucky and whored out a lot of 5s it seems. This isn't that great. Very generic, lots of presets. Badly mastered.

No offense, by all means it's good, but just not worthy of the top 5.

Tilkanuts responds:

Yeah...................I know.......................I don't really know how to master, and i know i got lucky with my 2 submissions, but not top 5 worthy?

During the past like 5 months there have been really really good music in top 5, but there are those that are just like................wtf is this????? At least i didn't stoop THAT low man.

So yeah, i did get lucky, and it's not mastered, but its music........and pretty frickin good music in my opinion. Different strokes for different folks right?

[DJ JM - Eternity]

NIce song.

Good song man. I really enjoyed it. Has alot of potential. Some of the leads could use some work but I liked it either way.

DJ-Johnno responds:

Thanks for your review

[Fredgy - Eurodancer {Remix}]

Great track

I loved the intro. Sounds very good. Nice synths. Nothing clashing. The way it was filtered was great. Only thing is that the Flanger / phaser wasn't in time so when the beat comes in every time you use it, it sounds a bit off. The melody / sound at :50 is amazing. So is the one at 1:08. This song has a lot of potential. Just keep workign on it. Especially on the fills. Get some crashes and sweeps. :)
.

Fredgy responds:

nice ! thanks for review, worked A LOT on filtering this track :p
ok i'll see what i can do with the flanger :p
glad you like that melodies! ^^
ye there will come a new version on ng when my fl isn't lagging anymore :D
it laggs like hell when i want to do something =S
thanks!

[[LY] ,-- The Cyan Monkey --']

Good job man.

I thought that this track would be slightly boring until around 0:30 the percussion came in. I was very surprised because it came in so powerfully. Then when the bass drops at about 1:00 was great. Everything gets quiet and you wonder what's going to happen. Strings come in and then the song starts building up from there. The only thing I didn't like about that percussion pattern was the snap.

Everything sounds really nice and relaxing except it's repetitive. Even though the melodies move constantly and changing often, the percussion gives it a feeling of repetitiveness. Makes the song slightly duller and boring. But, like I said, it's extremely well written. The only thing I would change would be the percussion. Everything else is great.

la-yinn responds:

Haha, thanks for the review man!

I totally get what you mean. I honestly knew the percussion was repetitive and I tried so many times to change it with the flow of the song, but time after time I failed to bring out the feeling I thought it deserved and I just submitted it the way it was.

I'll try harder next time. :D

[Ascending Angel]

Awesome-o

Nice song man. I really enjoyed alot of the sound choices. They really fit in this song well. The only thing I thought was somewhat dull in this piece though, was the breakdown around 1:30 into the song. Otherwise, everything was really great and the intro really gets you going. It flows really well and you did a great job on making a good song.

Good job man. Keep it up :)

Hellstick responds:

Thanks alot champ:)
Glad you liked it!
