Stargame's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[Kriz] - Fluctuations]

Not bad! Not bad at all!

This is actually very good, especially seeing how you're new to FL. Very good job! The only thing I found that bugged me at all was the fact that a fair amount of the audio was clipping (that's what it's called when the song starts distorting). The best way to eliminate this is to use what is called the Fruity Compressor. Just pop one into a channel, link the sound you want it to affect, and turn the Gain down to a number in the -5 -9 range, then turn the main volume for the sound up 'till it sounds as loud as you want it to be. There are better ways to use a compressor, but (despite all of the experience I've had with it) I'm still learning how to use some of the better effects/what different knobs do. I also reccomend adding a compressor to the Main effect slot, and using that to affect the song's main volume. Trust me, the compressor will become one of your best friends in the course of you music making. Aside from all that, it's an awesome song. Keep mixing, and don't give up! You've got some serious skill man!

[Chrono Trigger -The Trial Rmix]

LOTS OF SYTRUS

I'm not alone in this universe, someone else uses sytrus! I recognize a good deal of the sounds in this one... The gold saw, the basic distorted 2, and a few others that I recognize but don't know by name. Very cool!

F-777 responds:

Sytrus is good though lots of people don't like it for some reason...oh well.

Thanks for the review!

[F-777 Mario Underground R3MiX]

Impressive!

For a song made in 15 minutes, I'm impressed! Though very short, this had a lot of changing melodies.

[(F-777) Believe You Can Be]

Not bad!

Dang, you really like your reverb, don't you? This is really cool, but the lyrics irk me a bit. They're a tad off time when they start, and there isn't much diversity in what they say. If there were a few more lines of lyrics, I'd be a bit more impressed. Not much diversity in this one... Sorry man, I don't like this one as much.

[(F-777) Dark Crystal]

Wow!

I'm VERY impressed, I thought this was gonna suck. The only thing that really irks me about this song is the mass amount of reverb on the drums-- There was a little too much, and it didn't fade out fast enough, and every now and then when that really big pounding one-hit kick comes in, it clips.... But the melody ROCKS. I like all the filter effects you put on the sounds, gave 'em a nice little "WEEEeeee." The use of Slayer in this is great, it sounds nice and dancy. Normally when I use Slayer, I try to make a nice realistic sounding guitar, but the synthy style for this one is great, I love it!
Two thumbs up man!

[Thursday Before Break]

RANDOM

One of the most random songs you've made in awhile. The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't have enough bass (sorry man, I'm a sucker for bass. It makes everything sound nice and full). Everything else is awesome, it sounds like a perfect video game track.

Classic Crud

Ooh, here's something new! This sounds like DnB alright, definitely your style. There seems to be something missing though.... For the most part, there isn't enough bass in it. It's cool, but if the bass was deeper, it would probably sound a bit more full. Btw, I made my first -good- DnB track! It's called Jambox Twelve, checkitout. Review please!

[The Woodpecker]

Huh...

I didn't really enjoy that one too much... It sounded kind of empty... But it's still good man! Dang, how many songs have you made now?

crud responds:

a few. the process has always been the same though. sit down, flesh out a song, bulk it up and test it on the hungry newgrounders. i'm sorry this one didn't fill you up. but it gives me more reason to take more time crafting the sound.

[Air Breeze]

Great!

VERY good job man, this is really good! I wouldn't be surprised if this won! Could you check out my stuff? Don't worry, it's actually good like yours! Thanks :D
