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-

[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.
