paradiddlesjosh's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Enchanted Strings]

I'm going to agree with Music-Story here...

Very short and sweet, my friend. It gets the job done without nagging like an angry housewife. Very good orchestral tune.

The violin is fine where it is, in my opinion. The panning sets it off from the other instruments, and it should be louder since it is the melody.

Loving the rain stick. There needs to be more rain stick on the Audio Portal. The booming bass drum works well, too. Maybe up the reverb on it a bit. Just a bit, though.

In all, a really good orchestral track. If you ever write music for high school bands, let me know. :)

Thanks man! Im planning to make more music like this in the future for a video game my friend and i are going to make...

[F-777 Memories]

I like this one, too.

Sorry, but I skipped over the "I Like to Move It Remix", simply because I absolutely hate the original tune. I couldn't bring myself to reviewing fairly on it, so I just skipped over it. At least my biased opinion doesn't affect it, eh?

This track is nice, easy listening. Trance is not my forte, but I like hearing it every once in a while. And when that once in a while comes again, I think I know what I'll be listening to. :)

I think it was very balanced, and the panning didn't mess it up much at all. I wish I had that much volume control. ^-^

I will continue looking at your work.

F-777 responds:

lol the move it move it remix is one of my worst works, anyways thanks man for the awesome comment.

[Project X-1067]

I like the sound of this tune.

It really is a good piece. The abundance of rhythms make me want to dance. I love the different rhythms early on from the synths that stacked on top of each other. Makes the listener go "Huh?" so that they can figure out which rhythm to move to. :)

I like the melodies as well. I know dance music has simple melodies, but yours work great for what they're supposed to do.

Please, continue to make more music.

F-777 responds:

Thanks man! Im glad people like my music and can have a good time listening to them. I want to thank EVERYONE for all the nice comments, advice,encouragment,ratings, and support! It has helped me so much. Again, thank you.

[System Override (MS RAVE)]

I know nothing about raves...

But it's fairly obvious what you and half of the AP know!

Very nice, diverse track, as others have pointed out. The chaotic parts, I think, were great for contrast to the lighter, clearer parts. Nothing says "System Override" like a hefty lack of clarity.

I liked the sampled alarm klaxon towards the end. It punctuates the theme of this piece well.

All the rhythms work very well with each other, and although I love hearing percussion, this particular mix I think could use a little more low-end during the chaotic parts.

Above all, a very worthwhile piece of audio to listen to. I'll give this puppy a download and add it to my collection. Who knows? I might use it for something. Trust me, you'll get lots of credit for it.

Music-story responds:

Well I actually know nothing about raves too. I've only made one so this is like an experimental. I had this alarm sample in my music program and I could never implement it into any of my songs until now. Thanks for the review. I'm done. Bye for now

[Yogosun: Utopia]

Good stuff.

I'm not big on trance, so I can't really tell you anything that can help in that department.

It seems like it could be a little more varied, but then again it's trance.

I like the drum samples. They work well. Bass was good too.

The melody upsets me a bit in that there's not very much of it. But then, there isn't supposed to be, is there?

Jiao-Zhang responds:

Im not sure... But I dun care becuase it was a small thing I made. Anyways, thanks.

[Homestar Runner Mix]

Me likey.

Very awesome. 'Nuff said.

UnrealClock responds:

Thank you I seem to be getting more popular these days.

[CVSOTN: Dracula's Castle]

Not bad.

Since I pretty much corner the market on this theme (my 2 versus your 1) I thought I'd might as well hear it. It's much better. Your samples are of better quality compared to mine, but like me, your bass drum doesn't come in well at all.

Good job though. We should both work towards trying to make our versions less like the original, though.

Seriously, good job.

Reone663 responds:

thanks and yea idk why my base (bass) drum doesn't come up so well.. oh well.. thanks for the review anyway.

[FF7 -- Battle Theme]

I like it.

I'm a fan of nostalgia, though I write mostly in metal, so a guy like me would absolutely love this -- which is what I do. Good job, man.

LightOtaku responds:

Thanks.

[<3Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]

Bossa Nova!... Uh, Chevy Nova? Excellent!!!!

Very nice rendition, had me crackin' up.

lessthan3 responds:

Thanks. While recording Du Bist Haesslich, we just sorta cranked this one out. It's very roughly mastered.

[Geno's Song (SM RPG remix]

Really nice! 9/10!

It's a really nice electronia remix of a really good theme for SMRPG. By the way, there's a really good ROBOVoice remix of this somewhere on NG. Give it a listen, too.

Flashburn responds:

yah thats djxbravs
ive heard it its sweet
