BuggMusic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[A House on Fire]

Great atmosphere

When the song started to build, I was reminded of the Trance classics of yesteryear. The intro had a great atmosphere and really drew me into the song, which I always love. The synth that started at 1:15 was good, but I think it would've sounded better if the cuttoff frequency was closed instead of fully open. It sounded great when the beat came back at 1:43, I was expecting some kind of uplift and downsweep at that point, but it still worked without it. Overall, great song you got here :)

Hikari responds:

Thank you for a real review! Its always refreshing to here some ones opinion. When I began to right this song, I only had the bass line in mind. It was supposed to be Trance, but I think I mixed it into house by mistake. Still turned out great though I think. xD

[- Social Stigma]

broooo

Man, this track is sick. Great synth work, lots of variety in the different sounds. It's got a great swing to it, and I liked the Jazz oriented chords. Not much more to say, great mastering (which is always a pleasure to hear on this site). Mega props, bro!

Or4nges responds:

Thanks dude! I put huge effort into getting a good variety in this one. Can't say the chords are exactly jazzy though :P Maybe the piano part sounds a tad like it.

Anyway, thanks so much! Glad you like it.

Repect

I don't know if you're familiar with the recently deceased Japanese hip-hop producer, Nujabes. His music always managed to take me to another place, away from the chaos of the world and into a blissful state of beautiful music. This reminded me of him so much, and I thank you for it. The samples are beautiful and well picked.

I really do hope you continue along this path of music, because it's so amazing.

[Alone With You (Remix)]

loved it :)

One of my favourite Deadmau5 songs, I seem to be the only one who's favourite album was Random Album Title. Pretty impressive for your second try at Ableton, I remember all my first stuff I made while messing around with FL was horrible. Great job man, I hope you don't mind.. this kinda inspired me to take a shot at a remix myself, is that cool? :)

K-POW responds:

Thanks for the kind review!

It's actually also one of my favorite Deadmau5 songs, and Random Album Title is my favorite album too ;)

Ofcourse you can do it, send a PM when you're done with the remix.. more music for the people! ;)

peace!

[I'll Fly With You (Sound Test)]

swag

Wow, this hits hard bro. REAL HARD. You nailed that bass, the perfect amount of grit and saw buzz. Vocals sound great, the kick punches hard. Keep it up bro, this is gold.

kirja100 responds:

Thank you!!
Very glaaaad :D

[Wind Waker - Laruto's Lament]

Amazing

This captures such an amazing Zelda vibe. The vocals are amazing, very medieval and magical. I wish you luck in your future endeavors!

VGSongbird responds:

Thank you. I appreciate it ^_^ (and I'm gonna need all the luck I can get)

[Saturn Strings]

not bad, just needs some adjustments

First off, this song isn't bad, but in my opinion it lacks the variation that House depends upon, there is a lot of repetition of the same sounds that becomes less and less pleasant to listen to.

I've noticed a lot of people who make House fall into the trap of using the Chords of Life patch without really adding anything to it themselves. By no means am I saying this patch shouldn't be used, I use it ALL the time, it's great after all! But maybe only if used sparingly and subtly.

The intro doesn't really draw the listener into the song. A basic kick drum for a few bars doesn't really make the listener want to hear more. I find ambient sounds work well for intros, little fills and sounds that draw you deep into the song.

Anyway, this has some things to be fixed, but it's coming along and you will definitely get better. Good work!

NitrooZ responds:

Okay, thanks for helping me :DD

[Myth - Time walks by]

Really nice...

I love hearing good progressive house on NG. This really stands out for me; great percussion, soft relaxing synths. I absolutely loved the quiet melody that started at about 1:56, sounded really nice. Great work :)

Djevel responds:

Thanks! :) I'm glad you like it :D

[Anubis Awaits]

Great Atmosphere

Really eerie and even oneiric. The reversed sounds give the song a really creepy feel, but still leave room for the synths to just let the song roll along at its own pace. Really great, amazing job!

AnubisInc responds:

Thanks very much! You introduced me to a new word as well haha!

[Daylight Train Crossing]

Nice Work :)

I like how the song progresses slowly but suddenly at the same time. Pretty much everything sounds great in this, I love the pad especially. I personally thought the piano melody should've been done by a synth, but that's just my opinion. I thought I'd also take this opportunity to tell you that your Walk Alone remix is one of the most amazing songs I've ever heard on here, and I still love listening to it now.

Great work :)

Yodamanjaro responds:

Wow man you're really dating me on this lol that song is OLD. You really gotta go to youtube and search for my new stuff (Derrick Meyer). You can't go wrong with it, you really can't.
