LaserVision's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Nightfall]

It should have more reverb and instruments, especially percussion. It sounds too empty and it is too short.. it does not sound bad but i think it has a lot more potential

Georgisen responds:

Thank you LaserVision I am working on a new one and promise will focus on more percussion.

[Hectic restraint]

Wow I cannot believe you made this without having played an instrument prior to this.. It does sound very dynamic. The mixing sounds somewhat horrible though; as by now you probably have much more experience

BlastBeats responds:

When I made this song I had no idea what mixing was. I layered so many instruments that even a pro wouldn't manage to mix them correctly. Some months later, after I learned how to mix, I tried to "fix" this song. Consequently it lost its dynamicness, power and flow (although the mix that time wasn't too bad), so I didn't upload a better mix. The flaws in the mixing and mastering process made the song sound cool. At the moment I try to make a well mixed song sound as dynamic as this one, for I believe that my other songs lost dynamicness because of my mixing. The irony...

[101]

As a bass player I really love that bass tune! Good job with the sound mixing! I wouldn't change much about the track except add some clean vocals for it :P, it would sound less boring around the 1 minute mark. The riff at 3:34 - 4:02 though.. easily the best part!!

LexRodent responds:

Thanks for listening and reviewing.
This track (and the others I'm rebuilding) used to have vocals, but all the voice recordings went lost when my old PC fried on a short circuit.

[Final Mood Maker [WIP]]

I find it somewhat hard to review most of your songs, since many of them are still WIP :P I've never played final fantasy, probably because I'm not much into RPG's.. I didn't really find this song to be interesting. To me it seems to be some thing to be played on a loading screen :P However I don't believe it is fair to put a bad rating just because I'm not into a certain genre, so I'll give it an average score ;)

BananaBatN responds:

Thank you for the review! Yeah, the thing about WIPs is true, I uploaded these WIP projects just to be able to show the different style to some NG-friends here, who want to listen to my music before they want to decide that they want me as the composer for the game. This is just basically a short idea, just to make a basic mood for any kind of game that need this kind of mood, I don't really know how to say this in English, next time I will try harder! :) (although I really plan to make a finished and polished loop out of this later)

[Green (Prod. by misterscoops)]

The vocals could be improved slightly, as you admitted yourself. You did a great job with the lyrics, summarising the dark shit of the american society. Respect bro!

hellomynameisjunior responds:

Thanks man! I plan on recording the vocals again this weekend. Then spend a day mixing them a bit. I'm still a novice at audio production, so my emphasis recording this time is really going to be on strengthening my flow.

[Run to the Finish]

I dig it!! Simplistic but amazing. ;)

[8-Bit Boss Banger [WIP]]

I would love to hear this in an actual 8-bit RPG!! My suggestion is that you try to make it so that the end of the song fits together with the beginning, that way, when you loop it, it sounds uninterrupted.

BananaBatN responds:

Sure! :) Make it loopable is on my to do list!
Thanks for your suggestion, I will let you know by tagging You when I can came up little bit more advanced loop version of this thing :)
(Btw, I'm still not satisfied with many things in it, I'm still learning this style, but hey I guess that's how self-teaching goes :))

[BOLD HEAVENS - Noedig]

There we go! Sounds much better now ;) 5/5!!

[Tiger]

Damn.. I wish I could say that I made this. The mastering was spot on too!

Felocai responds:

Thats so nice, thanks!

[Catalyst]

You are already aware of the mastering so I'll skip that part :P Love the part around 2 minutes, but after that I feel that the song ends a bit abruptly, it sounds unfinished in a way. I would add at least one extra minute. The beginning should have had a slower and longer build to it. The drums would have sounded perfect to me if the hi-hat was just a little bit more quiet. I've already looped about 4 times, just throwing out some constructive criticism to make a good song even better :d

Drewpy responds:

I did indeed rush the ending of this song. I was getting bored with it (that should have been a red flag) and wanted a finished product as fast as possible. But I've learned my lesson!! Thanks for the criticism, it really helps!!!
