GdabZ's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[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 !

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 ?

etK responds:

Thank you very much, dude! =D

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!

[Killswitch Disengage]

Killer tone. Killer riffs. Hands down one of the best tracks I listened too today.

PirateCrab responds:

Thank you sir! This was just a lil' dabble around, testing out new things! :)

[Frozen Cave]

Good video game song ! Keep up the work !

Jonicorn responds:

Thank you, I will!

[The Way To Happiness]

As RyeGuyHead said, you should probably take a look at Pachelbel's tune. I do like the arrangement though !

djahmusic responds:

Sure I will check it out, and thanx for the comment :)
