boney-man's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Volcanic Tropics]

Hey...

Why does this have no reviews yet? I think it's the best out of all your songs! It keeps my interest throughout the whole thing, I like the different instruments and melodies. They create good harmony. It's an amazing song, hard to believe it's only your 10th! You're a fast learner, man! I like the tempo change, too.

[Metamemphis (Omar F.W. Remix)]

Ok...

No offense, but I don't think this is "REAL" DnB. It sounds more like rock & bass (Pendulum) to me. Don't get me wrong, it's a good song, but not real DnB, I don't think. Newgrounds does have some real DnB tracks, like this one by Paroxym:

But hey, this is your style, It's not bad.

[Golden run dance mix [HWR05)]

Hmm

The piano seemed weak, it just seemed fake, maybe get a better piano VST. The vocals sounded good, they added a nice touch. The bass could've been louder too.

But overall, I liekd it, it was kinda repetitive but still good.

Answering your question: anyone can do a collaboration. Anyone.

Hotwired05 responds:

ok cool...and for the question i meant putting the collaboration on the Flash forums ^_^

[>>Crossfire<<]

Yep.

You're definitely getting better at DnB, seeing as you made most of this song, lol. I like how it's melodic and trancey, but still has a hard bass and stuff.

Yep, we did a good job.

5/5 lol
PS - What happened to my automation changes huh??

*highfive*

[Fur Elise (Old skool DnB)]

It's good.

It's good, and you had a very good idea of mixing Fur Elise with DnB. It actually makes a great mix, and I like oldskool dnb, with the amen break and such. Your bass... I love it. However, it might be a bit loud... I like it loud, but it's distorting with the drums at some points. The drums are very good. I have no bad comments about them.
Overall good job.

[ParagonX9 - Chaoz Impact]

Hmm.

Doesn't sound like a song you'd make, but still good nonetheless. As one guy said before, it sounds more like real DnB now. I liked the bass very much. I guess the lead synth was ok, but it reminded me of Pendulum... that's not necessarily a bad thing, but it turns a lot of people away. You should definitely make longer songs. You should make a longer version of this, with maybe heavier drums too. The drums were good in this, but I felt they could have been heavier. Overall good song, though.

Been a while man!

[-The_Sleuth-{DJ_X-is-Trance}]

Hm.

I wouldn't call this drum n bass, and it's not on the long side for a DnB at all. I mean, it's a good song and all, it's just kind of repetitive, and I think at its length it could use more synths/melodies and diversity.

~boney_man
PS, I'm not even sure WHAT genre this is, but I know it's not DnB.
Overall good song though.

Death-9 responds:

Personally, I like the repetitive part, but I agree that lots of other good music changes over time. I'm not very good at layering synths, because they always come out poorly somehow :P

In response to your PS, DnB is the closest I could put it. It's some form of Breakbeat, in which DnB is inclusive. Since Newgrounds doesn't have Melodic Breakbeat as a genre, I'll have to stick with DnB for now

Thanks for the review-

[[Jump Up]]

Yes. Just yes.

It does remind me of Pendulum, only this seems closer to DnB than rock, which is a plus. One thing I'd say is maybe lower the synths just a bit. The drums are plenty punchy enough, but I think the synths overpower them. The drums are cool too, which the Amen layered under there. Makes a good sound. I love the distorted bass though. It's fucking amazing. Truly awesome. Honestly. I love it. Overall this whole song is amazing. I'm downloading it. It reminds me more of a group like The Qemists rather than Pendulum. And I like The Qemists.

So good job here, your style is your style, you don't have to make pure DnB as Nav likes, lol, you can do what you want. But if you want to go for pure DnB rather than Rock n Bass, go for it.

[SeamlessR - Dance With Me]

Yes.

Yes. The song definitely does sound better than your description. I can't enough of it. I've downloaded it and I may well end up using it in a mix, hope you don't mind.

This is great. Absolutely amazing song. I love the drums, the bass, and the ambience in the background, and the vocals just add so much to it. Great work.

[The Silver Monster]

Hmm.

Reminds me of "These Mistakes" by nubbinownz. I think it could have used a sub-bass, but it's ok as it is. It also doesn't have much diversity, as far I can hear. All I hear is a piano, a pad-type thing, some weird sound effect in the background (i think it's in the song...) and the drums.

Overall good job, though.

Oh, now I'm noticing, that weird sound effect I mentioned before... it sounds like a crow... is that what it is?

LLAAPPSSEE responds:

Yeah, him and I are sort of in the same genre. A bass? I could go back and do that, but i dunno, i liked the empty sort of sound it has without one. There's some light stuff at the end. A stand up bass, hah. There's no pad in the song though. You may have heard some birds and yes, crows. Thank you for your review, man, i appreciate your ears.
