EoD696's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dreaming Out Loud (Tilky Mix)]

hmm?

I totally dig it dude. Kinda hip hoppish, and folkish at the same time. Love that feelin. It's like a gangster, but he's got a cool chill side. I'd reccomend a better VST or the real thing for your acoustic guitar though. Even a bad recording of an acoustic guitar can be used for a high quality end product sound (layer it with VSTs). Where's the rest of the song anyhow? I'm interested in hearing it :)
5/5 10/10

Tilkanuts responds:

I don't have an acoustic guitar at the moment, or a high quality mic to record it with, but i do plan on getting both of those soon. I completely agree with you on that. The original song was pretty repetitive, and it wasn't really something i intended on making a full remix of, and since this melody/riff is pretty much played throughout the entire piece, i thought it would just suffice to make a loop of it.

Looks like they took down the original on imeem.com I was going to link the original to you, but i guess they dont' have it anymore :(

They aren't well known so it may take a little bit of time to find it, but i bet if you looked hard enough you could find it : / Sorry about that.
Anyways, Thanks for the review!

tick tock

Reminds me of a clock the way the snare switches left and right channels. Frkin cool idea man. Choirs are ok, but they could be better. They do sound alot like strings afterall, heh. I'm still anticipating a heavy bass somewhere, but its totally not like you to do that, heheh. No fault in it, that's just my preference man. I dig it overall, you get props.

SessileNomad responds:

yeah i hear quite a bit of songs with some instrument riding back and forth, so i decided to get on the bandwagon

i dont put basses in my ambient tracks ever really, i doesnt do well with the ambience

[SN |Eidolon| SN]

sweetness

I love how you mix your drums...the EQ particularly. Sounds great! Enclosed, loud, but not flat at all. Very vibrant for such a tight sound. Would've liked to see a mid-range layer added to the end of the build up around 2:35. Its very much just high end sounds with a cool drumset, not much bass, not much else at all. Well compensated for with the glitchy drum solo however.

...I noticed the drums got exceptionally louder as they got busier. Maybe try to control those a bit, and one or two more midrange layers throughout the whole song really. That's all I can suggest for improvement...superb work, keep it up. :)

SessileNomad responds:

yeah the drums do get a bit loud when the resonance in increased, but thats pretty much the only time the volume increases with them, as for the drums increasing as the track went, on, probly just a trick with your ears

yeah loking back on this i could have added somthin in the mid level reange, but whats done is done

also, i tried not to make anything too bassy, cuz to my it kinda takes away from the ambience

thanks for a very informative review

peace out

[I Love You - (Not A Love Song)]

hellz yeah

I'm not really into the hip hop scene, but this...this is good, and it hits home. Just broke up with somebody, this brings a smile to my face. Props.

Phaded responds:

Hah. That's exactly what I was looking for. I want to touch home with my fans. With people in general.

I appreciate your honesty, and your vote.
[Yeah, I noticed you 5'd as well.] =]

Either way, this song is one of those 'you're not the only one' songs. I'm glad I made one of my listeners feel better man.
It puts a smile on my face that I have a new fan of hip-hop that wasn't before.

=]
Hope you feel better.
I did after I wrote this song.
Maybe you should write one too. =P

[Psychedelica - Panic Pt.1]

I was digging it...

Until that weird annoying distorted thing came in around 00:26. Classic dance beat, cool, well mixed. Lots of breaks, also cool. Dig the pads around 1:30, very nice. The chorus at 2:04 is the best part. Definite props on that. And now when the distorted annoying thing comes back it isn't so out of place.

All in all pretty good piece. I would've done a couple things differently in your arrangement, but thats an each to his own sort of deal. Dig it 4/5 8/10

Tilkanuts responds:

Thanks for the criticism and i'm glad you dig it! lol

[iR* Syd Barrett- Late Night]

heheh, cool

Glad to see another floyd fan or two around. I was never much of a fan of the 60s Pink Floyd alubms, but Wish You Were Here (the entire album) was definately a tribute to mr. Barrett's influence on the band, and such could be heard and attributed to him throughout their entire career..up until the Wall at least. After that, things just went south. Happens to the best of us. You get a 10/5 for nostalgia and bringing some great music to newgrounds, but I can't approve of a mortal attempting to mimic a God. Make this your last cover of Syd, and you'll be alright :-P

Iranarama responds:

Thanks for your review, but i was not trying to "mimic" a god, I wanted to make this song my own, and not an exact copy of Syd's ;)
It sounds nothing like the original (in my opinion) and that is why I'm happy with the result!

[The Nintendo Concerto (Part 4)]

yeah....

I can rip midi's and apply them to a piano vst too...

Your only accomplishment here is creating the necessary transitions, which are smooth and on point...but...still..come on, why is this so popular? Seriously? Its just a bunch of midi's meshed together with a piano vst...anyone with half a brain could tell it's a synthesized piano...dur...

darphfluffy responds:

it's popular because people are dumb. by the way, midis are for chumps. I stopped using them long before i made this.

[Spiral Thinking]

props

I dig it...totally. I mean, its simple, nice, slow, easy going...gives me a premonition of some crazy dude sucking his thumb on a park bench or something. Good stuff.

Reeez responds:

...or something... Thank you for reviewing!

[R@V3]

Its in tune...

As much as it needs to be at least. I think it needs a bigger bass presence, the synthy thing you got goin isn't loud enough dude, and bring that intro riff back somewhere, that shit was cool. One of your better ones I think :D

duffman0150 responds:

Yeah sry it took so long to get back...if you go listen to any of my new ones i took your advice and put a bigger bass in all of them in (minus like one that i thought didn't need it). Thanks for the help i would appreciate you listening to the rest of my tunes and criting them. Thanks again bro.

[Cat's Got Your Tongue]

odd

Its got a weird Mighty Mighty Bosstones meets Blink 182 sort of feel to it dude, the singings off pretty bad, but it adds to the lofi nostalgia appeal of it. I like it. Let me know when that EP comes out dude, I'll have to buy it :D

HyruleanHyroe responds:

Well, that sounds good to me! EP should be out soon, we're just working on getting the cover art sorted out. Waiting for the photographer to send us our pics so we can get to Photoshopping, lol.
