JackRocker's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Life (Bugg)]

Good work!

Sounds good. I agree, the drums need to be turned down a little, maybe add some reverb as well. They sound a little dry to me. Also, the drum rhythm seems a bit chaotic. Might make it a bit difficult for a rapper to put any rhymes on this...just my opinion. I'm loving the ambient sounds though. Vocal samples were awesome. Keep it up dude!

BuggMusic responds:

Never really thought about putting reverb on, I figured it would sound too muddy. I guess I've never really worked around the abilities of a rapper, since I only do instrumentals, I can see how it would be difficult though. Thanks for the review :)

[~Stavier~ Can't Press Undo]

Nice :)

Really liking that guitar. This definitely conveyed all the emotions you were going for..thanks for sharing this.

Stavier responds:

Thanx man, I'm glad this somehow impacted you emotionally as that's what I was goin' for. Thanx for the review!!!

[Birds Eye - Dureagon]

Yeah!!

Fitting title. This beat gives me an image of a city from a bird's perspective as it soars through the air.

I really like that organ, as well as the background keys. It does kinda seem like it could use an extra element, but I can't quite put my finger on it...I'll PM you if it hits me. Nice chill beat, bro.

DJDureagon responds:

I changed it a bit. I will upload later. It pops more now i think. I didnt really add any elements i sort of refined some existing ones. Thanks for the reviews dude. At least people still review on this site.

[Calling Vox (instrumental)]

Nice, as always

Has a dark, but chill feel. Loving the bassline.

ThisIsAnEmergency is trying to put together a NG mixtape, hosting producers and MCs from Newgrounds..here's a link to the Forum thread: http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1 282916

You might want to check that out. Might get your music a bit more attention. And this beat would sound great on that mixtape, with a good MC.

Crueltool responds:

Thanks man! I'm already there...

[~Stavier~ 3 Songs, I DEMO]

Demo 3 first..

2:11-2:54. It sounded like a blend of Old School and Modern. I like the way you do that. The others were a more Modern-Mainstream style that I don't like quite as well..To be honest, I'd really like to hear more like Livin' In West Cali. Great job on these tracks though dude, keep doing what you do. Peace.

Stavier responds:

PSSSH IM A RETARD :D Haa, thanx man. I was thinkin' of do the last one first cuz I had most of the mastering done on that one anyways. Yea, Livin' In West Cali was a good one so I mite try more like that since that song actually came out nice. If you hear my new song, Feelin' Like A G, that also sounds more that style. Thanx for the review!!!

[Jupiter Junkie - Dureagon]

asdf

Nice dude. I've been checking your page almost daily for new tracks. It's nice to come back to find this. Very chill. Keep up the good work, dude.

DJDureagon responds:

hehe. I am finishing up school now. After this hopefuly ill have more time to make some tracks. im trying out some new equipment and perhaps ill have a chnage up in my sound because of it.

[Phoenix Rising]

Nice!

Sounds a lot like a 90s pop-rock song. I'm loving the mellow acoustic sound. Keep it up dude, you're awesome! Please make more like this...

ChimeraNoise responds:

Hey thanks a lot! I have another song I'd like to record as soon as I get a hold of the laptop I had again which should be in about 2 weeks.

[Serenade (Bugg)]

Awesome

Very laid-back, and very ambient-like. I think you need to do more Hip Hop like this, sir.

BuggMusic responds:

thank you, I will definitely be trying more stuff like this in the future!

[Rain Drums]

Sweet!

Very fun to listen. I love the Caribbean feel you have going on here. Mind giving me a list of VSTs/instruments you used?

Rinibra responds:

Thanks :D and I used Perc_Steel Drum, Piano 1, Piano 2, The "Hat" they provide, "REALBASS", FLS_Hatpd 04, Wind chimes, Tambourine, FLS _Nature 001, "ENCOUNTE", FLS_cr7_tak, LP_Posse Up_100bpm, Deep Gong, FLS_Ecym 05b, PERC_Mk_C2, and one of the Pads. I think PAD_FieldChorus

[AGP2 - 2 - Radiance and flash.]

Beautiful

Definitely sounds like it belongs in a Zelda game, or maybe Runescape. Would fit nicely in a fantasy movie too. I'm loving the sounds man. I wish I knew more about music so I could actually REVIEW, but since I don't know much about composing, I just say what I like. I know what I like, and this sounds perfect to me. Great job.

Calamaistr responds:

just liking it will do :)

thanks
