TommyError404's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Quoth the Craven]

Nice song^^ Sounds something like the devils circus..nice and creepy fell to it..could do great in a horror movie, or an adventure movie..I liked the drop and the nice bridge after that^^
This song could use some cymbals though,maybe some orchestral ones and more realistic percussion..I think It would add to the Ambiance of the track..make it even more creepy and pop out in to the room a little more..
Also the intro could be less electronic, I would like to hear more of a sound scape of ambient noises or some metal/wood creaking..maybe even some sampled sounds of carnival rides or children's toys..that would make you shiver like a creepy book or movie..like a haunted house..
I myself make electronic music(keen industrial fan) I use Maschine from native instruments and other products and they have great tools for ambient music and for all sorts of music really..check them out if you haven,t ^^

sorry for the long review..and again I enjoyed your tune very much^^

BOATMAN responds:

I'm not sure why, but my current computer can only run Reason. I've been trying to install Ableton for the longest time, and it isn't working out too well. I've never tried NI before. Any suggestions on where to start? I'm getting pretty sick of Reason's inability to make any kind of realistic sounds. I feel like I'm making music for Sega Saturn games sometimes. Send me a message, I really need to find something new.

[Dark Autumn]

Nice^^ I like this, it has good sound and a very nice dark and airy atmosphere^^ a tad short though,,even just 30-60 seconds more would make this piece more interesting, unless you where going for a loop, then this is perfect^^

[System Shock -Collab song]

I really liked your song^^ Both flavors of Industrial and Hip-hop, at least that's what I heard^^
Liked your crazy synths, made things kinda trippy but not too much either^^
Only thing i hear, is that you should have more progressive drums since rest of the song is quite progressive, the stable beat might be a contrast but it doesn't pop out of the song. Try adding a more glitchy beat, and add a compressor and raise the level or use a maximizer^^

[Dovregubbens Hall]

This was really good^^ I liked the progressiveness of the song, the changing tempo worked great! This song takes a great heavy classical song and makes it metal!
a little critique though, I would have liked to hear some strings in this one..make it more ambient and bigger in sound, but I know that's not the easiest thing to do^^

Also I wonder what gear/ software did you use to make this and do you play all instruments?^^
