Fuiste's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Paramour (feat. war-spawn)]

Interesting...

The production is pretty good, it's clean and all. That and I really like some of the synths you used, it doesn't sound like typical DnB at all, and I find that refreshing. The drums are also pretty good, they're really dry, but it fits the song well, and they're nice and punchy too. There's also a ton of variation in your rhythms, which is always cool to hear.

But I gotta fault you for the chord progression. It's incredibly overused, and while it does fit the feeling you're going for pretty well, I would have liked to hear a bit more experimental-ness with your structure, as all other parts of this song are so unique sounding.

Overall pretty damn good though, and cool description too. Nice work.

Quarl responds:

I'm not very good when it comes to melody... being a drummer and all... can I fuck your hand?

[Skela - random stuff]

Odd

This is an odd song, at least for the first 1:14 or so, then it gets bad-ass. I really like this, it took me surprise to say the least. My only criticism would be to make the drums a little more punchy, maybe cut a little of the synths' low end to leave room for a heavier kick, but that's just my opinion. Cool song, I must say!

[ASM - Eurodancer Remix v2]

It isn't that bad.

I'm not going to lie, you definetely sound new to fl in this, and I can hear a ton of synth presets and a few clips, but you're off to an aight start. Production is still far and away better than a lot of newbies'. I'm interested to see what you make in the future, especially to hear songs that don't use this chord progression.

But you're off to a start, good luck.

AerostarMusic responds:

Thank you. Yeah, I haven't really played around with changing preset values yet. But thanks for the feedback - I'm definitely going to keep practicing in FL.

[Victims Of The Dead]

Cool.

The production is top notch for thrash, and the riffs are decent enough, if not particularly memorable. It is really tight though, and the drums are pretty good. I'll say right now that I hate all thrash vox to begin with, so my judgement on that aspect is biased, but you seem to have pulled them off alright. Guitar solo is fucking bad-ass, 'nuff said.

My main criticism would be to add a bit more low end into the mix. I also noticed a peak or two in there, but it's nothing terrible.

4/5
8/10

[DNB [Meltdown] 2min loop]

NOt bad, not awesome.

It's aight, nothing amazing, but much better than a lot of what I listen to on NG. I like the beat especially, it's got a really infectious rhythm to it. On the other hand, I think the square bass would sound better as a more commonplace reese akin to noisia's basses. Listen to the song "Believe" and you'll hear what I'm talking about. It's definetely not bad though, and with a different bass I might even say it's pretty damn awesome.

[Sibm]

You're right, it's not really techno...

But who really cares. I like this song a lot, and you obviously know more than a bit of music theory, as this is a quite well written song. I only have one complaint really, and that's that you shouldn't use FL Core samples. It's not a big deal here because I really liked the song anyways, but in the future you can see huge improvement in the quality of your music by simply using samples that aren't immediately recognizable.

Great song tho.

Drawoh responds:

yah, I used what I had at hand xD
Didn't have much so I had to improvise a bit :P

Thanks for tha review anyways ^^

[HL2 - Welcome To City 17]

Impressive.

Judging that you made this to test mastering, I'm not so much talking about the quality of the song in specific, but the mastering.

And it's damn good. This song has a lot of polish, heh. I must say I'm pretty impressed with the job you've done.

Foraum responds:

Thanks man. Maybe I'll turn it into a full song sometime. One where I actually spend more time on arranging then on mastering ;)

[Punk Solo]

Great production.

This is fairly well mastered, which is a definite plus. The solo is also fairly catchy. My only criticisms lie in the odd structure of the song, that is there doesn't appear to be one. I also noticed you're using EZdrummer. It's damn good software, but might I suggest using the loops in a manner more natural sounding. Some of your stops and fills sound a bit awkward.

Still though, it's a good effort.

[Solution]

Not bad.

I once made a song playing with the FL Slayer too, called it Synshread. THis isn't bad for what it is, but it's nothing outstanding. NO real criticism to speak of though, just keep working at FL, it seems you're well on your way. That, and unlike a lot of newer artists on this site you appear to have a decent understanding of music theory.

[Kazmo - Hard Trance [WIP]]

That lead.

It blows my mind.

No criticsim.

Just drop the part where it goes into straight time, I like triples better.
