beatmasterJAG's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Darkness Rising]

the title works

Not sure on the genre, but who really cares about those titles anyway.

This track was okay. You could work on you mixing. The bassline seemed overbearing, while your drums seemed lower and distant. Also very cliche sounding samples. Nice sweeping pads tho. Very lo key track :]

Cool guitar/harp sounding synth melody.

Keep it wildstyle!

[Bloody Tears DnB Remix]

hehe VG <3

Looks like you havent submitted in ages--thats too bad. I hope you still use NG.

This track is a fun remix. Good vibe and upbeat tempo. Sounds a little over limited or boosted too high on the master-a lil peak distortion maybe.

Keep it wildstyle.

[Glib - Eye For a Leg]

gripping

If this were used for hip hop, you could write some dark ass lines for this track. That would be fun to try-but I am worried that the whole process would not end as well as hoped for. Despite all that nonsense, this has some really cool ambient glitch stuff in it.

You make it tough and mysterious-from a listener perspective you almost get stuck in the world that the artist created with this song-and you want to hear what is going on consistantly through out. This is impossible though cuz you chop it all up. Reminds me of a horror film in this way. Trying to focus on something that might not even be there but you thought you could sense a glimpse of something. I hope I explained that all correctly-sorry for the ramble :\

Good work dood!

Your friendly SineWeaver,

[SR - Mars]

:] I luv audio for this.

It was very slow to evolve in the begining. But then you added a few interesting drum fills. Very erie and dissonant sounding. The hammer like thing sounds so distant and cavernous-like with that verb u put on it.

Ooh, dang. very nice after the breakdown when the beat comes in. Really good glitch there. I am envious. The warbled synth near the end was a little odd, but you got away with it. Great programming!

thaanks man :D

[Treasure These Moments]

Guess you took me to another place in time :]

Very chill yet gripping. Haha-I always contradict myself...

I like the vocal element, and the guitars through more emotion on top. The drums could been mixed up better. I miss the kick. IN some ways you could almost bring more dramatics to this peice if you have that kick thumping-almost as though it would be dictating the rythem of your own heart beat as you get lost in this one. A mistake I usually make would be to push the bassline up more-for some reason I would just like a little more rumble outta my woofer. I really enjoy the sweeps/swells.

Good track none the less. Do you play the guitar? Wish I could add that rawness to my music.

Keep it wildstyle!

pitbulljones responds:

cheers for the review. Tis a chillign track, i agree. gripping too hehe, i make contradicting music.

Thats not a bad idea that using the kick as a dictator, hmmmm not bad at all. yea wrong sample choice does need more oooomph that kick. It's not really a bass on this tis a rhodes piano setting, i didn't really want a hard bass, but i understand most people would expect it. Yep i do play guitar, i'm more of a rhytmn than a lead guitarist which is why you don't hear major fret wankings compare to the metal heads. but less is more sometimes.

Thanks for the review.

Diippa dappa wohoohooo dop a doo dit

Dang, this sounds like one of those lil files that comes in a huge loop pack that some kid just got after his mammy bought him ACID Pro or something lol. And then the noob kid would go and loop the hell out of it and add a bunch of other stuff that would just shame your simple (complex&structured) loop.

Nice one. You gave us lots to listen to in this short little bit. I keep hearing new things here and there. Cool bro!

Keep it wildstyle!
JAG

LJCoffee responds:

Ha ha - Well, if it sounds like an AcidPro loop then I guess I did alright on it. Thanks man!

[-=LJC=- Peripheral Observation]

Great work-time spent on this one no?

Very dissonant.

Cool lofi-ish drum rolls with a pan on em. The kick is nice and compressed like, really grabs your attention. You paint a very bizarre picture with this one. The little computer glitchy things are an awesome addition. Thanks for taking me to the world of dillusion and a trip of some sorta psychadelic drug.

ooo sweet I heard that bass drum get reversed :]

Keep it wildstyle!
JAG

LJCoffee responds:

Cool - thanks for the review. Positive feedback always makes me feel all warm and fuzzy :)

[Exactly]

Dance-Exactly-Now <-- 0_o idk

Ha ha, read some other reviews-I liked how you chewed the one dood out. But seriously couldnt you keep the melody and the beat more consistent--eck how am I suppose to dance to this--J/K

ppl are crazy.

This track IS crazy when that arpeggiated/gated high pitched synth comes in, very VG-ish :] not a bad thing tho.

Interesting snare roll/fill. This song doesnt make me cream my pants, but it is still solid.

Syntrus responds:

It was just showing my fans that I could still make trance. I love shittin on doochebags btw.

[Can Opener]

Laid back & in your face lol

Heh heee, you have the sickest sounding synths-luvin em. Great filterage. Suppose your using FL and that Syntrus synth er w/e that prog has-I dunno, dont use it lol

Maybe I should so I could bite your synth sounds-j/k

PLZ-make em longer songs, cuz I get pulled far into them and then its all over before I knew it. Suppose that could work for your advantage-Keep em coming back to ya!

Keep it wildstyle!
JAG

Syntrus responds:

I sure will keep it wildstyle

[Syntrus Presents: Synimatix]

Drop dem basses

The kick drum sounded more like a dance thump -but it really doesnt matter-esp. when it is an "electrnoic hip hop" track :]

There is some good emotion in this-whoa-piano kicked in-REALLY good emotion in this. I dig the delay on the gtr sounding sytnh. Good panning on it.

The bassline which was most noticeable in the begining sounds crazy sick ;]

You and I are alike once again in that you sorta tell a story with your hip hop instead of leaving an empty beat that bores most everyone.

Another d/l and five my friend.

Your friendly neighborhood SineWeaver,
JAG

Syntrus responds:

lol sineweaver thx for the reviews
