CrimsonKero's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Two Is OK.]

1978 you say? This might make this the oldest recorded song ever published on Newgrounds.

Though what you did to it in the 34 years since is unclear. The description said you re-recorded the song, but one of the replies said all you did was convert the original recording to a digital format on your computer without needing to rework it.

And yes, I can tell that Pink Floyd is a likely inspiration. How involved were you in the original recording?

gamejunkie responds:

It was written & recorded in 1978 (without vocals) by a close friend. He was going through some of his old stuff & found this & a number of other pieces, so we got together & reworked them a little, add a little bit here & there with a Midi & added the Vocals (me) & this is what we ended up with. To be honest neither of us had much idea of what we were doing (with the Midi) at the time. You'll have to forgive me, it was 11 years ago & my memory is'nt what it used to be. My partner in crime has also passed since we done this. RIP J.S.

Looking at what Random-storykeeper said about the original:

1. Composition is good, and so is the overall theme.
2. RSK said the mixing of the original was all over the place and I agree with her. I'd also say the mixing is still pretty busted here too.

Overall, it's a worthy sequel, though still not without its flaws. If I can give some advice, it's this.

Pay attention to the tones of each instrument. Don't oversaturate any one tone, Maybe also don't maximise the volume of each instrument. If any of the instruments are difficult to decipher, or secondary instruments drown out the primary ones, you're doing it wrong.
EQ filters + Note filters are your best friends.

Offtopic suggestion: Share the BeepBox/JummBox links in the author comments. You can embed the link into another piece of text if it's too long.

darkmangopsychology responds:

I always forget to lower the mix. I can make a modification of all files to a desirable mix in mp3cut, and I'll try to make the volume of future songs lower.

[the sound of the worm caves]

== Five worms out of ten!==
Score: 5 | Critic Review

This is a lot of users, including some you already know, including some within the 1K-4K follower range and including non-voice actors, all saying 'worm'. It's monotonous, but that's the whole concept.
I don't know how many 'worms' were spoken in this 25 second submission, but the description (of which I had to break up all the 'worms' that weren't spaced, presumably from a botched copy paste) has a total of 2,458 worms, and NO I am not pasting all that!

Also one thing I noticed is that on the top left sidebar, it's telling me @worm hasn't been scouted yet, even though they ain't on the credits page. Turns out you sent a credit request to a user called worm, a user who hasn't been online since 2005 and hadn't accepted the request.

On a closing note, what would make this more interesting could be if you took all those 'worm' voice clips and pitched them to make an original song.

Composition: 4 | Concept: 7 | Amount of which the novelty's worn thin: 10 | Worms: At least 10

No pun intended in the Transcript.

Not too bad, but it could be made just a little louder.

Bleak-Creep responds:

Haha, I had considered the pun, but decided to just go ahead with it anyway.

And that's fair. I definitely have a lot to learn about recording better audio.

[.-*"UltraAero"*-. "*-3:02-*"]

OK, so it's never a good sign when a song drops even below 4 stars these days. This dropped to 3.22.

And I think I know why. the 'melody' at 1:42 to 2:04 didn't do it for me.

The two.. i mean FOUR low scoring reviews in Russian should be very useful feedback to take, but I feel that the Techno / EDM / Dubstep / Whatever you call this, is done to death and I believe you should expand into other genres of music, namely ones where melody are a core focus.

X-500 responds:

Idk i will think
UPD:no. I like make tracks in this genre!
UPD 2:but thx for support this track! 6/10 is normal very not bad! You NG moderator audio yes?! Yes Anonymus Frog i know this work little cancer and medium level producing
