SuperGoodSound's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Wily (Megaman 5) Acapella]

this was the funniest thing

i've heard in a really long time...

honestly. i'd be laughing harder but i think i'd start waking people.

sonicmega responds:

Funny good? Funny bad? I hope I didn't manage to embarass myself, but hey, I do that enough.

Please spread this audio submission around! :D

[Ghostwave]

beautifully executed

not much more to say. essentially classic style, rich, full with a deep soundstage and masterfully mixed and balanced. tight bass, sparkle on the high and appropriate transitions. well done. couldn't have done the idea more justice.

NemesisTheory responds:

Thanks! I really appreciate it. :)

["In Your Heart" F-777]

hey again

man, this is just getting depressing having to review this stuff...like seeing how crappy i was compared to you 8 years ago. judas priest. i had nowhere near this amount of style (or the kind of website cult following...).

oh well, all relative. i mean, even the mix - is extraordinarily well balanced and clear. it doesn't appear to really have any problem bands in the overall spectrum that i can pick out, just enough high end while not being obviously hyped. The low end is prominent and wieghty but not ridiculously overemphasized (big problem for most people.

what's your monitoring setup like? do you mix with headphones or speakers? i always wonder about this stuff because i look at you um...guys who are 8 years younger than me pushing out stuff that sounds just as balanced and have to wonder if it's just an effing fluke or if you've actually got a pair Adam S7's fed by a Benchmark DAC-1 as your secret weapon or some crap. I mean, 8 years ago I had a pair of crappy nady headphones and a logitech z-550 set of speakers (computer speakers do not = monitors...) that i used to listen to everything.

everything is being taken over by high school students i tell you. in 20 years, microsoft will be completely staffed by 18 year olds.

F-777 responds:

Lol thanks for your review!

I make about 90% of my songs with crappy headphones that don't even have a brand name. But i do have a nice set of speakers, no brand name either =S but still sound good, so when im done the song i normally play it on my speakers to see what needs adjusting =P.

thanks for your review!

solid piece

Very stable and rock-solid instrumentation. Catchy rhythm and short breaks. honestly, i quite like this one. It's not needlessly complicated and overstated but still able to convey a good set of musical ideas. I'd like to see the idea extended to be more of a full "composition" rather than a 2 minute idea (i'm guilty of this all the time).

RAVEN responds:

Thanks for the review, joshhunsaker! I have to agree with what you said about expanding the track. I might consider revising it and making an extended version, but for now I still haven't decided. Glad you like the track! =)

[mario 3 underwater crazy theme]

kind of interesting

Yes, the drums are a little different. Could be a good thing. Somewhat a funny piece. The song doesn't seem to take itself very seriously, which made me smile during most of the piece. Simplistic, yet effective. A little short, but that may be the theme's fault that it is based off of.

newrounds1 responds:

hehe .... hmmm ...

[Spit on my Dick Shit on my Eye]

this was great

I can just see this as some hilarious part in like an invader zim scene or something...too bad it's so mono. absolutely gut-busting funny though. oh geez. some people are almost too creative.

CockRider responds:

Yes, now you must vote 5 on it everday for the rest of your life. And when you die, give your password to someone else and tell them to do the same. MUAHAHAHAA

Yeah, this was made in about 20 seconds as a joke, but it's still heavier than half of the songs that get uploaded here!!

CockRider

I'll eat your shit.

[Muse]

if this is the first song you've ever made

then good work. it shows you can pick things up quickly. Drums really aren't bad. Synths will likely get "fatter" as you master techniques of layering, synthesis/sample and synth programming, and fx routing (parallel, modular, insert and otherwise). Synthesis and even techno can become such a deep field to the people who really investigate it that it might seem overwhelming. Maybe you'll get to the point one-day where you can code your own synths (difficult task to do it right, to be sure) and you'll no longer need to rely on other people's inspiration for virtual instrument ideas.

whichever path you might take, just make sure to try new things and invest in the best possible monitoring environment you can (behringer truths would be a good start unless you've already got a better pair or mix with headphones). always remember that there is a better way to do things.

Bahdshah responds:

Thanks for your review!!! I've now improved ALLLLOOOOT and now i make kickass music!

[(_RGH_) In The Woods (Ref]

hmmm...interesting

funny, because I linked over here after seeing Swolfx had favorited one of my songs. Then I saw the only other selected favorite she had was this one. Now I can see why. I'm really pretty truly impressed by your 'portfolio'. You're 18? And you're this prolific? You've got an amazingly good sense of harmony as evidenced by this piece alone and I would venture to say that you probably play piano (at least, most people can't just "MIDI" their way through a piano and epiano melody like that). I would also venture to guess that you probably want to make a career of either scoring films or writing video game music...because most of your music is basically perfectly suited for it and it'd be foolish to think that you didn't have a very good shot at making it a career.

Good luck in your ventures. I encourage you to keep composing (and especially to remain as prolific as you currently are - the more practice you get, the easier things start to come). So I'm curious though...what do you use as a DAW (do you have multiple?). What are your vst instruments of choice? Controllers? Monitoring setup? Hardware? Audio Interface(s)? I'm rather interested in what your setup is like.

RyeGuyHead responds:

I made this with the factory presets in Reason 3.0, and Im using the program stand alone right now. Although once I become more knowledgeable in Ableton(it came with my M-Audio midi controller) I plan on syncing the two programs up, cuz I heard they work really well together.

You hit the nail on the head with your prediction of my goals. Good to know that you see a future in me! I'm going to give your stuff a looksee in a bit.
