LazyBucks's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Night Vision Reminisce]

Hmmmmmmmmmm..........

I think a bit of clarification on who did what would be nice but I guess I will write this review blind for the time being.
The piano is very nice and well written. I like the dull sound to it, its EQ'd just perfectly.

The strings were nice but a little dull, maybe EQ them a bit to make them brighter.

Overall its a nice piece, could use some more EQ work and a little bit of a better mix but its cool.
Good job you two.
4/5

geniebmusic:
"Yay! Thank you for listening and commenting! Honestly, both of us did a little bit of everything together haha, so it wasn't just one person did piano or one person did percussion. :) We will work harder in the future for sure. Again, thank you!"

Mawnz:
"I also did most(if not all) the EQ and mixing stuff so thank you for the feedback! :)"

[Totally a Town Theme]

The drums felt somewhat out of place, almost too rigid, but it was nice and maybe with some more work it will improve.

The piano and other melodic instruments are really nice, the flutes give off a very sweet feeling.

I enjoyed this, keep working at it :)
3.5/5

Wilhiemthe2nd responds:

Thanks a lot for the review!

With that in mind, i do think i could change some stuff with the Drums.
Personally now, i think the snares need to relax, and be replaced with a lighter sound. That might fit better right? :)

[Dropped]

I found the mix to be quite muddy, especially with mid frequencies.
The vocals were out of tune and didn't particularly suit the music, also some of the instruments were not mixed in very well and could be quite dominating in the mix.

Putting aside that I really like the composition and the tone of the piece. Its got a really nice vibe to it this song.
But again there are quite a few issues with this, with re-recorded vocals and a better mix this could be a really cool song.

3/5 for me but no denying this is a very strong composition with some awesome ideas in it.

SourJovis responds:

Thank you for your feedback. This is not a polished song. I couldn't finish it because I never received all of the vocal tracks. It's mixed a long time ago when I knew less about how to do it, etc, etc. But I like it because of its flaws. This is just how it turned out. This is how I know it. Everything has a cause and a reason why it is the way it is. So to me this is how it is supposed to be. I won't make another mix of this song. I do get what you mean though, and why you don't appreciate the quirkiness as much as I do. I like the melody and the chords too. It would be interesting to start over and make a cleaner version of the song. Now I have more experience, and where less things go wrong with the production (I hope). I will make it significantly different though, so it won't spoil the original for me. No vocals. Different build up probably. Sometimes different instruments. I'll see about that. Could be fun.

[brittisk ninja]

Hm? What part of this is you?

I am so sure I have heard this song before...
Giving this 0 starts for the moment because I think this may be fraud

ilikemineturtlez responds:

its not i just am a musical mastermind

[Free Atmosphere]

Its nice but it belongs in Ambient not cinematic. Although it may be used for a film or such that doesn't define it as cinematic, this is definitely a ambient piece.

Good job though

DESHIEL responds:

good to know ;)

[Stand Up - B4m Grae Karim]

Yeah umm ok, review time.

Straight off the bat I love pretty much anything you make B4. I think your a awesome producer and I really dig your style. That being said I think this was a weaker song compared to some of your others.

The vocals, god I did not like them. Out of tune, timing was bad, the lyrics were beyond stupid and being honest his voice does not suit singing or rapping I think. But thats not you, thats the singers problem.

Production wise is was really tight. The beat was awesome and sat really well in the mix. Everything sounded nice and clean, lovely warm mid range on this song.
So I guess I've more of a issue with the vocals, but I can't give this song higher then a 3.5 in my opinion, the vocals really spoiled it for me.

Still though, awesome production B4, you did really well :D

BeefourMusic responds:

Thanks for the indepth review :D

I will be putting up another version with SJD's (Poniboii) vocals on each verse this week to see which version people prefer. Voices are still raw as I want to master the best version. I agree with the timing issues but I think you will find SJD's verses on time and more indepth. Karim does parody's usually and you can see this side of him in the verses. Could make for a funny video :)

Let me know what you think of the Poniboii's version next week!

[Cubix Skyland]

I really enjoyed this, nice feel to it.
The guitars are very cool, would definitely work as a passive tune in the back while you are walking around a town or hub area.
Nice job.

geniebmusic responds:

Yay! Thank you :D

[Coded]

Scouted, lovely piece.
Look forward to some more piano pieces from you, possibly a piano collab in future?
Good job.

geniebmusic responds:

Hi! Thank you so much for listening <3
I will work hard on my future piano pieces. I am still new to piano composition to be honest xD I am definitely open to a piano collab in the future though :)

Again, thank you!

[Lost in Wander]

Why are you so bad?

0 / 100

stunkel responds:

sorry :(

[Cheetah]

The beat is cool, as are the synths.
I think the mix is a bit rough and could use some work but for sure its in the right direction.
Keep it up!

Glowtide responds:

Thanks :) i will try and work on my mixing and mastering skills for the next song :D
