FinaLee's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rest (original)]

Pretty chill chords and some good knocking here. You threw me in a loop when you reversed those last couple of notes. I was like, "Dude, awesome!"

HowardWimshurst responds:

Thanks for the review dude, I love it when people comment. Truth is, I ran out of stuff to play! So I reversed a section hehe

[Bobabobaboo]

That's a really punchy set of drums, but they feel a little too mechanical for me. Maybe you can liven them up with a little reverb. A couple of the sounds in the intro sounded a little cheesy, but that's just my personal tastes. Thought that vocal sound was pretty cool in the break at 1:04, but this is a pretty weird mix you got going on.

DnB breakdown was nice, but let me emphasize on the reverb thing I said earlier, because I know what you mean when you say your mix feels a little "soulless." Focus on some other subtleties like delay and stereo effects if you want to breathe a little more life into your track.

My two cents. I may not know what I'm talking about!

Stapless responds:

thanks for the review, i was reading up on reverbs tips up before, so i'll your two cents as good value. :P

[Spoonfed Swine]

Dude, you got those garage drums going on! Lead is super fun to listen to as well. Very gritty mix. I like it!

ZLEAP responds:

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed.

Super happy song and I love it! Pizzicatos always make things either really happy or really mysterious.

[Final Strike!!]

Helluva good track here. Everything is panned nice and all the instruments are fairly clear. Can't say I like some of the percussion all that much, though. It's pretty easy to tell which samples are one shots and which ones aren't. Pretty much everything else I give two thumbs waaaay up.

UltimateCJ64 responds:

Yeah I can't blame you on the drums, I still have the shitty GB drums, but I gotta make do with what I got for now. Thanks for the review bro, glad you enjoyed it. *thumbs up* :D

[Mr. Bigglesworth - Potate]

Really diggin the drum beat, but it's very bland on the other instruments. Could hear some ear candy FX trying to break up the monotany, but as said below some variety in the leads would really help this out a lot.

[The Come Down (Preview)]

Chill tune. Kind of a weak bass, but the claps and piano are kickin!

[(::Ride The Wind::)]

Amazing!

It's quite an accomplishment to make someone feel calm and peaceful through a song. Great job!

FatKidWitAJetPak responds:

Im glad I did, that was one of my main goals when making this.

["Trance 3" Final]

Nice!

My favorite parts were the very beginning and end. It reminded me of when I used to play Maplestory. Don't know why... Anyways, the song was pretty catchy, but the same saw being used got a little repetitive. I almost felt bored in the middle of the song. Keep making music, though! Later.

montehawks responds:

Haha personally I've never heard of Maplestory.

The saw you're hearing is actually 'Trance Saws Wide', 'German Trumpet 3', and 'Just Too Fat' off the Nexus plugin all played together. Trance Saws Wide is dominant over the others, obviously.

In newer versions I'll make to sure to try and add new instruments, thanks for the review, I completely understand how it can get repetitive with the same instrument.

[Rising of the Fallen One]

The drums are awful!

Imo, I think you should at least make them a little more subtle. I loved the rest of the song though, especially the piano piece. Hope to hear it when it's done! Peace.
