Rawrthaas's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fuck You (I Never Loved You)]

yeay

purty good mang. dig the melody a lot. the bass is pretty basic (wat). i guess that doesn't matter though since you're not doing any more on this. keep it up, newgrounds needs more hardcore :D

[TouHou Hardstyle - Bad Apple]

yar

Pretty professional. Nice surprise to see a decent song make the top 5. None of the other top 5 songs are as professional, or even any decent, but that's pretty typical... so again, it's nice to see something atypical :D.

Proper hardstyle progression, ripping synths, sweet kicks, and overall a nice melodic hardstyle tune. Mastering is A+.

keep it fresh brah :)

ephixa responds:

Thanks, Newgrounds audio portal is SO neglected by the people who run it. I'm amazed at the things that are in top of all time. I'm not saying I should be up there I'm just saying it's a kick in the nuts when bad stuff is there.

[Collab: Chocolate Bears]

yar

Pretty good mastering. Love the percussion. I can't say much about the vocals in the beginning as nice as they were, since it's obvious you just took some anime theme song and sped it up like fuck.. that's not really a bad thing though, since it's done a lot in this genre.. or subgenre.. whatever. 1:08 and beyond is awesome. Creative fills and breakdowns. Reminds me of Sharpnel.

[[TC] Fall Into The Sky]

yes

Sensational and lovely melodies, typical for you :). This is great dude, but there's a few things that once you work on, the record labels will be all over you. Your build ups are incredible. Nothing short of fantastic and masterful, however the refrains in your songs are kind of disappointing. I expect them to be hard hitting and even more emotional than the build ups, but they are weak. At 1:50, the hat sounds like it's like 32kbps quality or something, i dunno.. at 3:57, the clap is really weak and doesn't blend well with the kick. Just improve your use of percussion and after the build ups, rip the bass, perc, synths, everything really. If you played this at a rave, people would fall in love with the build up, but after that it's kind of a let down. It needs to powerful enough so people are stoked as fuck after that build up and they start jumping their fuckin asses off! Seriously I can imagine this bringing people to their knees at a rave. Corny I know but just work on those things dude. You are a prodigy with building atmosphere. Mastering could also use a wee bit of work along with less use of nexus presets, but these things come naturally in time.

TranceCrafter responds:

thanks for the tips, I'll be sure to work on improving the areas you pointed out.

lol, I don't use nexus. In fact, I hate nexus cause you can't create your own presets for it. I use sylenth1, and make pretty much all my presets from scratch. I suppose it just sounds a lot like nexus cause of the type of lead I use in a lot of my stuff.

do you have an msn? I'd love to chat with you about music.

yaey

lol at the vocal 303 at 1:30

nice job

Stalagmite responds:

hehe, thanks mate! ^ ^ really appreciate you leaving a comment and listening! cheers !!!

[[TC] The Next Chapter]

yes again

You really have an awesome handle of melodies, man. This is fantastic. I think you should take out that nexus soundin' lead though.. sounds really out of place, and really generic. When I hear it, the first thing I think of is 'newgrounds music', because kids use that same preset all over here. Otherwise, good job man, this is fantastic.

[Spor Style shit]

nice

not bad, kinda simple though. i like the vox sample. maybe you could do some extra layering on the drums to make em sound fuller, add a sub bass, and rip that reese a little more and then you'd have a solid track on your hands. you're going in the right direction :) keep it up

[[TC] One Last Time (demo)]

Like babies floating in space...

Oh my god. This sounds like the build up to one of the most energetic and uplifting trance tunes I've ever heard... and believe me when I say energetic and uplifting. I listen to music so much that it's sad for me to say that I rarely get pumped or feel any emotion listening to music now.. But this was a breath of fresh air, and I mean that to the highest degree. Thank you sir. Keep it up, or I will find you irl and choke you to death.

Oh man those choir chugs near the end are awesome. AH... AH.. aaaHHAH. AH... AH. AH. AH. AH AH AH AH *epic reverb kick*

[Satelights]

yessss

Fantastic. That's all I've got to say.

[I'm Done]

Great

Perfect. The mastering is excellent, and the quality remains throughout the entire 10 minutes. It's the perfect length for a chill out song like this. Percussion is fitting, and the mood is deep and inspiring.
