Jester667's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Metroid Prime-Meta Ridley]

Hmmm....

Quite an odd mix you got here, man. It starts out a bit strange. I hear the melody, but it's unsuiting to the actual song. Then, you go to a nice little riff that echoes the real soundtrack--like it actually came out of the game. That's pretty nice. But...I need to ask you...where are your drums? I don't hear any drums coming from this song. It'd be a lot more kickass in my honest opinion if you threw in a cool-ass beat. Something to stir up the repetitiveness of the song. You're off to a good start, but you need a little bit more. Just a little bit. Well, listen to me or not, good luck on future works!

residentevilrulz responds:

Thanks. Yeah.. I am well aware that I have a serious percussion problem. In most, if not all of the things I do. I just am so terrible with drums I usually don't even bother. I just wish I knew how to do them better

[My first techno Beat]

Poor job

You need tips? Here we go.

For starters, that really doesn't sound like a techno beat. That sounds more like an introduction to one. It's way too repetitive. At one point, it sounded like a CD skipping tracks. Your bass drum was entirely too soft throughout the entire thing. There's no cymbals, or even a hi-hat for that matter, no snare drum, and no diversity in instruments. Just a crappy piano sound. Let your creative juices flow and try to make something you can bang your head to.

Better luck next time.

Dj-Twist responds:

so u know this was a 5 minute deal thing it was suppose to skip for a reason to make it sound like a remix but no ideas came so i just posted it as a beat so i know what your saying but it sounds the way its suppose to so whatever

G.T.P

[TLoZ | Song of Time Remix]

Excuuuuuse me!!

This is pretty good. I like the whole "Excuuuuse me, princess!" thing going on. Hardly anyone remembers the worst catchphrase in existence. Hah. But, the beginning was terrible...it was clashing sound and noise. The beat kicks fucking ass, though. You got a groove goin, there. But the bass/kick drum was a little bit too strong. Still, nice job, keep it up.

D-A-J responds:

hehe, yea, i like those lyrics too :))

Yea, i might made those kicks a bit hard... still got some to learn, i see ^,^

[The Temple Of Time]

Oh, god!!

Wow this song is hot. It's so sexy man. It's like, the ambience of Halo with the awesomeness of Zelda blended together in this dark Celtic chorus chant. This should be used in TP. For real. Wow. What programs do you use, anyway?

[~|Final Fantasy|~]

Very, very nice.

Beautifully done. Simply supurb. You've done a great job orchestrating one of the most dull and repetitive of video game music, and made it sound pleasing to the ears. I especially liked the adding of the choruses and the clean sounding orchestra. I enjoyed this. I bet at that concert, no one was asleep. Great job, keep it up. :D

Klace responds:

Thanks for the review!
The concert hasn't happened yet But I'm sure no one will be asleep!
I'm sure there will be people who can't be at the concert but I'm gonna open a donations thing for people who want to go but can't make it.
Maybe we'll do more concerts, that would be great.

[Wandering Darkness]

Awful.

That was crap. Seriously. Your "bass drum" rhythm sounded like a tiny little 8-bit horse galloping across a screen. And it sounded more like perpetual noise than a "decent loop," as you put it. This is awful. It's not even music. Go fix it.

[Mario - Underground Lvl]

Seen it...

Yeah...not that interesting. This is just my humble opinion, but if you want to create a kick-ass remix, then remix it so that it actually is different from everything else. This song sounds like all the other remixes. I have nothing bad to say about this song--don't get me wrong, but I have nothing good to say about it either. It's just that it sounds like everything else on the portal. But that's my opinion, you don't even have to listen to it.

[Fox McCould's First Day]

Fooooxxxxx!!!

Okay, I'm gonna try and review this without sounding like an asshole. You need to do a LOT of work on this. The square leads were just annoying to hear. You need some more diversity in the beginning verses. Your bridge sounded a little better, by the way. But overall to me, it just sounded like a bunch of blaring noise. I'm sorry. It just did. Try and work on it next time.

D-A-J responds:

I'm guessing you aren't into drum & bass, eh? Well, not me either, but I do know at least how to do that kinda music...

I dont judge you, you have your own opinion... but it seems like you dont understand what drum & bass really are -_-

[Sonic 2 - Boss Rush]

No, sorry.

This was a poor attempt at a Sonic boss theme. The music was grossly polyphonic so that it sounded more like one of those crappy Nokia Ringtones, and it sounded really distorted too. It sounded a bit too much like the original. So, go back to your studio, clean this up, and make it better. Cuz I know anyone can do better than that. Don't get lazy.

Brakzias responds:

Eh. I guess you're right. Thanks for the input.
