decoyultimatum's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-YRX- GrooveDaddy]

ya know i think there is too much reverb on the piano. in the beginning its ok but later when the other instruments come in it doesnt fit quite right especially when the piano gets more complicated near the end. i do like the composition and the flow. i feel like this song shuld have asian instruments in it for some reason. oh well. the style of the music reminds me of the music in the epic battle fantasy series

YouriX responds:

Huh? Thats kinda wierd i didnt add any reverb to the piano. I geuss the preset had to much on itself. Either way i'll have to watch out for that in the near future. Thanks for the heads up! And about adding asians (shamisen) instruments could enhance the song. But i dont want to overuse that sound either. I already made 3 songs with a asian instrument :P

Anyways thanks for the review ;)

[Super Fun 3 [MSB]]

this was really good. i can really tell you enjoyed making this song. a lot of times i wish there was more stuff like this on the radio. a lot of hip hop these days is either dramatic or has too much rave in it.

GrantBowtie responds:

Thanks man!

[Howl Drum N Bass]

i like. i think it should be faster and the drums should hit harder.

[When In Doubt]

im finding this song hard to get into and stay interested. i lke the instrument and the atmosphere.

[Sunrise]

17 second song? really? aside from it being extreamly pretty and relaxing its 17 seconds of it. what exactly was your idea? hopefully you make this longer because it is very nice. its nice enough to know that you know what your doing so why 17 seconds? idk maybe you just wanted peoples opinion but with the skill executed you don't need a second opinion. sorry just please make it longer. when people submit things that are under 1 minute it makes me feel like theyre lazy.

SiriusEmission responds:

I would like to continue this but i have no idea what can i make. I'm going to save this project...

[The Others]

ya know this song actually sounds pretty main stream if thats what you were going for. the progression was fairly predictable but thats not really a problem. there were some good melodies in there. i also liked the harmony. the harmony was quite evolved not just a plain harmony so thats appreciated.

SuperGoodSound responds:

i want to make ze commercial musak so i can getz za monies

[ermahgerd cerds]

sounds like your useing a side chain and it works. what i feel this song is missing are drums. if you put them in i cant hear them. you should put a heavy bass drum every time the side chain hits. the song needs to be longer. house songs are longer >:( make it longer! house lovers like me get disapointed if the house song is under 3 min.

Directinput responds:

this isnt even a song aha. it was just some chords i didn't know what to do with. i may add more to it in the future.

[Secrets ~*]

so this song feels like 80's song got remixed. i like the progression and the melody. i love the choice of instruments. this song is very relaxing.

[Laid Back]

so i liked the melody in the song but it felt like it was missing something. i don't know for sure but it just feels like it lacks something. maybe adding a counter melody or making the harmony more advanced would pull it together. i liked everything about it it just feels like its missing something sorry.

DJ-Grapefruit responds:

Thanks for the review, I always appreciate that :P
I don't really know what to do about that, but I might give it a try :D

[Song of storms 8-bit]

ok so my computer is acting weird and i don't know if the stars are going to show up so ill type it to be sure. 3 stars.
i commend you for successfully creating an acutate remake of song of storms. here are some things i found wrong with the song. 1, it sounded clippy like you made it on your computer but either recorded with the volume to high or physically recorded it with a bad quality recorder. 2, yes it's 8-bit but just because its 8-bit doesn't mean it has to be bland and plain. anybody could make an 8-bit version of any song with a little bit of musical knowlege and the right supplies. what everyone can't do is be you. you have to make this song personal and use your creativity and your opinion to make this 8-bit remake your remake because honestly you can probably you tube it and record it and call it your own (not saying you did). all other music producers can look at this and say "so what you can find the notes and place them in the right spot but that doesn't mean he has talent" but here is my question. do you have talent? i'm not trying to be rude i'm just being realistic.
