MattReeves's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Global Asylum]

So stoked to see you're still making music.

I loved this a lot. You have improved massively since your last heavy metal song I've listened to! What are you using for guitar? Just curious. I'm looking for something better to write with. I like to record guitar once everything's written, but I usually hate how my synthetic guitars sound.

This sounds great. I really loved the riffs; you have awesome ideas.

Anyway, keep up the awesome work! I'll keep listening...

DiroNomer responds:

Just used Sytrus and Amplitude 3 with lots of double tracking and heavy mixing. I probably won't make any more metal stuff until I get Shreddage. They sound WAY better. I'll probably use that for Rhythm guitar and continue to use Sytrus for the solos.

I'll definitely keep pumping out new stuff in the future though, for sure. Be on the look out.

MAN this song makes me sick.
Ah man, I just puked all over the keyboard. There's chunks stuck between the keys, and it smells horrible. I think there was a little blood in there. What did I eat? Something with ham. It's already thickening, and my fingertips are starting to stick to the keys. My nostrils are burning. Even if I clean this up with a hot rag, the chunks will still be stuck in between the keys. Maybe I'll get a toothpick. I should probably take a shower too. It's just everywhere. All over the wall, the monitor, I can hardly even read what I'm writing through the yellow film that's starting to crust over it. I'll have to take a knife and scratch it off. And I should probably brush my teeth, because I can feel the stomach acid eating away at them. Or maybe I'll just leave it all to remind myself how much this song SUCKS.
JK
I actually like this song more each time I hear it. I really like the harmonies in the chorus. This song could actually sound really awesome with upbeat pop/rock music under it. We should do a remix, haha. But seriously.
5/5

[Death by Solitude]

Dude, you are so talented. Good to finally hear some new stuff. It's been a while. Keep 'em coming!

corbetweller responds:

I appreciate it man! I'm in the process of building a new computer and I'll have some new works up in the near future. I'm working on a video game sound track so I HAVE to finish it pretty soon!

[Robotronica]

Cool concept.

I have a special place in my heart for robots (:

So, this song is great, and has some really cool parts that stand out. However, if you're interested in criticism, mine would be that this song is too repetitive. It's basically 6 minutes of the same thing, using different voices. My suggestion to you (take it or leave it), would be to spend more time on your songs. You submit SO many ideas, but I feel like you could easily concentrate those pieces into some really great, full length songs. Something to definitely consider. I know what it's like to have a brain swimming in countless fresh ideas. But when I channel them together and force them into one song, I usually get very satisfactory results. I highly recommend you try it. This song could be really cool if you took the main lead and made it a theme, but surrounded it with some new melodies.

Also, any FL Studio savant knows the default club kit when they hear it (: Even some basic equalization and reverb can do wonders for hungry ears.

DiroNomer responds:

True. This is basically the same riff recycled by different synths and notes. I only spend 35 mins - 2 hours on most of my songs average. My old computer that had the full version if FL is broken, so when ever I start on something, I can't save it. So I just add a few touches to it, and submit it.

Anywho, I have actually taken your advice on some of my songs, and they turned out pretty good. But right now, I'm just basically going upon my ideas of music before I forget.

Thanks for the advice :D
