GdabZ's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Planet of the Bunnies]

You clearly don't need me to make awesome tunes ;)

I'm honoured though !

FateModified responds:

Thanks! Maybe I'll make a game one day about evil bunnies. It might be interesting...

[RetroActivator]

I'm always amazed by the quality and intrications of your harmonies. Although Garage Band may not be a good DAW (I can't really tell as I use FL Studio since a long time), and the sounds may not please my ear as much as they could, the score is perfect. ;)

FateModified responds:

Thanks! That's very encouraging to me. I'll keep at it, definitely. And I can't wait to get FL Studio myself. It seems like a really awesome DAW to me :)

[The Journey Home]

Hi !

At fist I tought "Pachelbel" !

I don't like the instrumentation too much, but I do like the score that is very well composed. The track evolves and is very lively and beautiful. Maybe the piano would have sounded fine this time on the arpeggios. ;)

Fine job anyway !

FateModified responds:

Haha, thanks! Yeah, I'm stuck with GarageBand's instruments right now, and they're not my favorite either. I'll work on this song some more when I get FL Studio and probably add some real recorded guitar work. Thanks for your comments!

[Hyperactive Robot Dance]

I like it.

The lead arp synth is great. But what I like the most is the bass sound in the first 30s that somehow breathes like if you were tweaking the cutoff with some sort of automation.

Not a big fan of the piano sound though. You should have sticked to electronic sounds maybe.

Plus it loops well. Nice job !

FateModified responds:

Thanks, I really like arpeggio runs in music. I think they add a very moving and melodic quality to songs. I'm a big fan of Chopin, the classical pianist and composer, and I love the way the long arppegio runs sound on the piano from many of his songs. So I decided to throw in a piano run in the song kind of for that reason. Probably though, I will go with a more electronic sound throughout the song in the next version when I get my new software.

Yeah, I'm just starting out on making music and learning on my own by experimenting as I go, but I found out that you can take a synth, add distortion, delay, and an automatic filter and then you can get something like the "breathing" bass sound with an automated tweaked cutoff. I think it would work really well for techno-style songs. Thanks for the feedback, I very much appreciate it!

[Machine Forest]

Love this track, the sound is very close to chiptunes, it reminds me of old keygens... But it could fit perfectly in a game ! Nice job.

FateModified responds:

Thanks! I like old-style video games and have been spending some time practicing making music for my games I plan to develop in the future. I'm kind of going for a bit of a retro type of sound mixed with electronic ambience. Your comments are appreciated :D

[Analog Dissention WIP]

Nice track ! I like the way you mixed brass and electronic sounds. Great brass samples too, what did you use ?

BrokenDeck responds:

EWQL Symphonic Gold

[etK-Waiting For The Night]

Nice track with a very particular universe. Well done !

etK responds:

Thank you very much, dude! =D

[The Forrest Fights Back]

This is awesome ! Nice track...

Niadroj9986 responds:

Thanks Gdabz, glad you enjoyed!

[Discovering Lana]

Great job. Theme isn't too original but audio samples are good and everything is well mixed here.

DFDCinematic responds:

Thanks for your review!

[Hard Rock Theme]

I like it ! The end is a little bit kitsch with the organ, and it lacks a bit of clarity in the higher spectrum (trebles seems a bit smothered). But overall a good track !

No1r responds:

Thank you!
