CagedRealm's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ratio]

Farily Good

This is by far what I consider club music not drum N bass. The beat was alright along with the bass but the tone and melody tended to get a little repetitive for my liking. This song could use a little polishing as far as mastering goes but other than that I can see you improving making more music like this.

[sunray]

This is alright

I can see you must be new to making music but this is not too bad It would probable fall under more of a techno or IDM genre or at least to me. I just suggest keeping on practicing and you will get better with time.

[Final showdown (man vs. alien)]

Good stuff here

The best word I can use to describe this is potential. I will give you my input form the beginning and try and make this review as helpful to you as possible. You intro was good but I think you could have come in a bit stronger with the bass at 7 sec you had a good sound but if was put a bit too far in the background. Kinda same thing happened with the piano which made it hard to hear. All the note theory and arrangments were good just the builds seemed kinda small so maybe if you had a bit longer snare rolls picking up in the filter cut might help add some more omph to it like at 1:20. The crash you had did work but just in personal taste I like to make them have a clean reeverberation a bit. Your ending was well balanced and organized. So to generalize what I said don't let your sounds drown out in the beginning, add more emphasis to your builds and keep a good balance like you had at the ending throughout the song. Other than that I see nothing wrong with this song my hats off to you on this one congrads.

Music-story responds:

Yep I suck with logic express 7. All my recent songs I use the midi keyboard. So yes I can compose real music, but I can't do worth squat when it comes to putting in some nice synths and special effects. I well always be bad with computers for the rest of my life. Now where is that soccer ball? Simple things is my way to go. Bye for now

[dj_padman - Renegade]

Great work

This is beyond me and my abilities, this song is definately complex but here is my opinion of it. I found the glitche work very unique most people use it as a intro or break into something with it, I was impressed to hear an entire song made from it; good job. I could only famin how long 10 solid sec of glitching would take me and thats what I am learning. Around 33 sec personally I would use more of a creamy bass but thats me. Hope to hear more unique stuff like this.

dj-padman1 responds:

Thanks man, check out guys like Aphex Twin and Squarepusher if you're into glitch. They make me look like an amateur!
Catch ya.

[My Funny Valentine]

Good Work

It's alright but my advice is first the Sax has to be loader to leave a better impact. The sound is good besides that just work a bit more on accents. Other than that I wouldn't see anything wrong in my opinion.(BTW I play the Sax too ;)

[LTM² - Keep On Jumping]

It's alright

It's alright but needs some work with the blending the lead kinda took away from the rest. You had a good string/pad going on at 54-55 sec. You had a really great chord going for you at 1:26 Even if the rest of it didn't quite work out the way you wanted I strongly suggest using the pad there and onwards you could turn it into a really good Ambient or Trance.

ListenToMyMusic responds:

Thanks, I'll check out some of yours when I can

[Automanual {YesYes Rmx}]

Needs work

The base part should have more bass and reeverb thats what gave the original it's magic. If my ear doesn't decieve me you have the right instrument just change the sound some more use more effects on it. The beat also needs some work try using bouncy beats that are on time more than offbeats that would help add to the flowness. I remember I remixed this song, it might help it you check it out. If you want to work more on this song send me a PM and I can give you some more advice, or notes.

[Bamboo dreams - M4ster]

Good job

I like the intro with the delay on the piano and strings made a nice backgrounds throughout the song. Good choice with the drums they helped the song stand out without being to powerfull. Keep up the good work.

m4ster responds:

Yeh I tried the song with a powerful hardcore kick lol... didnt quite work. Thnx for the reiviweiew whatever lol

[[armymenis12] The Ice Dungeon]

Different

You have a fairly good songs here I just found the strings in the beginning a bit strong. You kept a fairly good even tone in this song I like it. I just think you ended it a bit soon I thought it would be good if you would carry it on a bit more then fade off. I give it a 5/5.

[Orgarmy]

Good job

Listening to this I saw a really good motion and flowness. Congradulations on this one. You definately have much potential hope your able to harness even more in your next hit(not at all saying this was a bad song).Mind reviewing one of my songs I find what I do now pathetic and I am not returning for a while till I am happy with what I do some info would really help out.
