LaserVision's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Summer Afternoon Chill]

Sounds like something that would appear at the end of a film. The female voice is way too loud in my opinion. I like the build-up and the way the instruments join in. After 2 minutes it sounds repetitive, mabye if the drums stopped playing somewhere before the instruments fade out. The fade out should be applied 10 - 15 seconds earlier as well. Overall it sounds alright

rootless responds:

Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment! Actually, the female voice is not part of the song, it's a watermark added by the site MotionElements.com, where the original file is available for download.

[Pleasantries]

Not a fan of the way the instruments sound; especially the strings that play throughout the whole thing( I assume that you didn't have access to any other). It is a very short track. There is nothing particular to it. I can hear mabye about 3 - 4 instruments?? Not bad though; I just personally didn't find it appealing. The melody fits together with the rest. The mixing is alright also.

himhim2340 responds:

Thanks for the review,
I'm laughing at your "I assume that you didn't have access to any other". I specifically went out of my way to find a harpsichord soundfont to use here. Oh well.

[Aftermath]

Is sounds a bit apocalyptic. While not as good as 101 in my opinion it is still strong and it has a similar vibe to it. Also, do you have any plans to re-record vocals in the future?

LexRodent responds:

Nice to know you are enjoying my tracks.
I would like to give voice to this tracks again, unfortunately, I'm bad at writing and singing.
If I can find some singer(s) / song-writer(s) I'll sure give it a try.

[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.

[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.

[Tiger]

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

Felocai responds:

Thats so nice, thanks!
