chutzpah's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[+*~Zelda Twilight Princess~*+]

VERY NICE

its so short but sounds really good. Haven't played the game =X but still well its arranged, you should finish it.

MountainDewFreak responds:

Thanks. It does sound pretty good orchestral. Too bad it isn't orchestral in the game!!! =( Well I really plan to finish (and improve) this song once I get the game.

Nice beat

Much better than the last. This one shows a lot more potential than the other one I looked at. Again, I blame the emptiness on the lack of effects, especially reverb. I really like the whining sound in this one, its overdone but simply sounds better than that "oh" in tension. Your basslines are really simple, and I'm not sure if they're too simple or what, but I think it could at least use some variation. It's a much catchier song, but still doesn't seem to have all the effort it needs to be a nice juicy 10. Eh.. I'm out of comments and after listening for 15 minutes straight, anything song be getting annoying. -Chutzpah (4/5)

[Drix-Tension]

uh... different

I don't know how else to say this but a lot of the 'noises' in the song were simply annoying.

The drums were well done but didn't sound that good. By this I mean it had an interesting beat, but I didn't like the choice of samples used. I'd say download some more drum samples if you can and mix up the instrumetation. Also, things like reverb, echo, chorus, flanger and distortion would add a lot more flavor. Yeah, and don't overdue the "Oh" like that.

You said it yourself, it sounds a little empty.
Here a little rule of thumb to go by that, although obvious to me now, I still break ocassionally... If you can so easily diss something about your own song, don't post it untill you're 100% satisfied. Of course if you don't know your away around [whatever program you're using] it can be hard to ever be satisfied, so don't sweat it if thats the case.

Well you asked for reviews... take it easy and keep up the good work. I'm gonna check out the rest now. -Chutzpah (3/5)

[i2 - Humble Beginnings]

[!_-Peace at Mind-_! part 3]

word

Badass song. I have to agree with the last few guys, I think its kinda boring. I'm more impressed by your age than anything. Damn wish I had $6000 equipment when I was 13.

DeadEndRoad responds:

Thanks man! It's really my grandparents. My Christmas present was getting it loaned to me. I have had it for about 4 years (had it when I was 9!).

[Relate]

well fuck you too

The only originallity was in the lyrics, which were pretty damn good. You sound like a hardcore gangster by the way. The beat didn't change at all through the song, but it was still good. As for clarity... you just need better hardware and software it soundslike. Overall good, 4/5.

[Longing for Tender Home]

decent

Pretty good work. Sounded like you lost rhytm a few places, hit a few wrong notes and at some points it was overdriven... but hell I couldn't do any better, i gotta program my shit. Has a lot of potential, you seem too eager to post it because it still has those afformentioned errors so 6 for effort, 6 originality cause everyones got a piano tune posted and the chord progression wasn't anything shocking. Etc... etc... 3/5.

CyriltheWolf responds:

Eager? I thought it was pretty good for improv, and I can't really fix it, because I suck at piano, but I needed to lose rhythm for some of it, because I wanted it to be very rubato and atmospheric.
That's why I improvised it instead of programming it. If I programmed it it could have been nice and robotic and with the perfect rhythms and no wrong notes, but that's not what I want.

Overdriven because I play too loud! XD

[Vaporizer]

I am forever doomed to your shadow.

Another phat one that I've heard a totally different version of somewhere in the past. Awesome effects again, plus that awesome riff. Piano=badass. I like where it cuts out. Shit, well nothing to criticize although I am biased. Speaking of which, I'm not just giving these 10's for the sake of giving them 10's so if you review my shit (which you damn well better) don't just give me 10-10-10... 8). Keep it up and hopefully you'll get song of the week or something badass.

Oh yeah -1 for diversity cause its a lot more repetitive than most of your stuff. I guess my bias is actually a bad thing. Oh and plus I don't like the drum samples but I didn't tell you that twice.

[EMP]

Hello, sir.

Great effects man shitz tight fo' realz. I was gonna show NGs whats up but then finally got one. Put those extra samples to work and mix up the snare, thats all I can really say.
