beatmasterJAG's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Havelock Mafia]

Can I kill shit too!!??

Yeah, I could rock some head shots to this. Not bad work here at all. Prolly the best track of the four or five I have listened to. The vocoder synth seemed like it could use a compressor. Otherwise this track moves like no other. Great energy!

I really like this man! Reminds me of some old Unreal type tracks-yet it has great dance energy to it.

Keep it wildstlye!

[Nothing on the Radio]

Tune in to NG daily folks!

I wish they would play just atiny amount of electronic music on the radio where I live...:[

I'll keep wishin'.

Hopefully, ppl like you and I can push the boundaries and get some real music out there. I like the use of samples and radio static. The pluck thing that kicks in later before the fat bass thing mixes really well with the ever repeating high pitched arp part. The variations are subtle. Some parts seem a little too repetitive. Try chopping up your beats.

I like your thouhgt processes put into all this-nice style.

Twistedtechnology responds:

Thanks!!! Im glad you like my style of techno! Believe me, im trying my hardest to make works that will be deemed good enough for record lables and stuff, and believe me, if/when i do get signed, im gonna be doin my best to bring newer styles of electronica to the forfront of the techno scene. I didnt really try to do anything too fancy with this piece, which is why it was a bit too repetative, but im glad everyone is like the radio samples, i'm quite fond of that effect XD first time i tried it too ^^

Thanks for the advice, and for the review man!!!

[Taking On Tomorrow]

El Classico

Traditional simple intro (pulled me in), good synth work. Easy to listen to this one-which can be a relief on NG.

Got a little muddy when a heavey verbed or possible long release time synth came in.

Mix down your synths and boost your percussion.

Nice sweeps.

Keep it wildstyle!

5/5

Twistedtechnology responds:

Yea, i was a bit worried that one of the synths * i believe the one that intro after the first* would clash justa bit too much, but i'll definately go back into the file and fix it up for future reference!! Thanks alot for the advice, the vote, and the review XDD

I'll keep it as wild as possible XD

Glad you enjoyed it!!

[Ultimate Remix Part 3 (4:52)]

ROFL CAKES

This was kinda funny to hear. Unfortunately it was hard to hear. You should work on your mixing, and this would be funny sutff to listen to. Unfortunately you didnt mix the artists together very well.

And what was that random hum noise? It was rather constant and annoying. ;]

Keep it wildstyle!

Logini responds:

ok, i'll take the humming noise out in part 4. It was supposed to be like an ambient noise between songs but i guess it got overused... Thanks for the review!

[Heavenly Fall]

VG Melodies :p

The melodies remind me of something out of a video game, like old school Nintendo FF type shiz. You had an interesting layer of synths that generally flowed together well. Unfortunately there is no central drive through out the song. Because of this there is almost a lack of flow and direction, and makes it hard for me to stay focused. I think the harp could be turned down, and the kick boosted. Keep working on your mixes.
Good progression.

Keep it wildstyle!

"I think the harp could be turned down, and the kick boosted" - BeatmasterJAG

Lol thats funny, because i kerep getting revies to tune down the bass and kicks and highten the harp^^ well guess to please yah all, i'll just have to keep them both the same. Thanks for the review, and yah, looking back, the flow and drive was lacking. -Laesil

[A Reason to Believe]

Reason eh

the scratch sample stuck out like a sore thumb, sorry. The second I heard it, I thought my computer was acting up cuz I have those sorta sounds for my default windows tones. lol

But then I realized you had used it for the song. Obviously I use Reason as well, and one of my biggest challenges is to always try to atleast modify patches or create my own so that I am coming up with unique sounds.

Keep working with your tools and create yourself in the music world!!

Cool vibe track.

[//Speed Dial]

Good loop...

This thing loops well. and does swell. Sorta is an intro like the last reviewer said...it would be nice if this track went into a direction.

The fast paced transition isnt the smoothest, but it might not matter if this track is completed :]

Cool synth sounds, they seem kinda generic but pleasing none the less.

Keep it wildstyle!

[Clashing Strings]

Hark teh teckno

the begining was decent. Although it sounded like basic MIDI until after some very clashing strings-when you used the harp synth thing that my buddy Schoolio is notorious for putting into his FL tracks. 'cept he boosts the attack on the harp so it just pushes deep into your skull and really grabs you by the teeth--er ear drum's hammers things I guess.

Anyway, you have some great concepts here. With experience you will make cleaner songs that flow real nice. Good melodies none the less.

Hit me up with a review, I'd appreciate it!

Keep it wildstyle!

Laesil responds:

Yah I kinda messed up one of the parts in the song that made it a bit messy, hence the name, but yah, having a little trouble with transitions, so the whole things seems to not flow as well as i hope to make them soon.

Thanks for the review, and I'll keep'um coming ^^ - Laesil

[StoopLoop22]

Intro cool...

...but lacking in direction---this loop would be great for like a few bars before a really tight DnB or VG type song rocked the house off my pants or something like that. Cool atmospherics/sfx but not much else to this...which kinda makes this just noise, give it somethign extra and remix it all up and re-submit this ish////

NOW~

Keep it wildstyle!

Review back =]

[Tzu - No Stop]

Bounce

This got my head bouncin' especially after the decimated distortion part when it builds all up-nice like! And I liked the stuttered bass kicks...and a cool breakdown afterwards...cool synths-great lead that comes in, very guitar like-almost a psy feeling! This one is cool. Did you get the distortion ideas from me or is that a coincidence? Great loopable too! lawl

SOLID TRACK--LOTSA FUN!

Keep it wildstyle!

Tzunami responds:

Haha, no they're not from you. Actually.. I didn't want it short.. so I started it on C1, hence making it too low to process >.<.
