SkyRiderX's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Takeover (Darkshadow)]

Could be better...

You have great basses and kicks but i think the snare throws the song off a bit. I would at least change it for the opening since it fits in pretty well later on. The melody is nice and you've got some nice change ups in there along with a good variety of instruments. Keep at it!

[SoG - Dead Deity]

Well done...

The song has nice build up and hold it's momentum very well. The breakaways are also fit nicely. Overall a good song, the only thing i can suggest is that you maybe try to vary up the instruments towards the end to help keep the melody a bit fresher and maybe throw some variations in there too. Keep up the good work!

Uh, I'm still planning to experiment a little more with this song... your suggestion will be very helpful. Thanks for the review!

[Days Ahead]

Great

The Piano really covered the backround atmosphere well. Great job.

[FEAST - In a trance]

Its a good start...

You have a nice base to work off of with this. I can't help but think I've heard that kind of opening before but I can't put my finger on the song. The opening is nice but I would try to maybe carry the silence with some reverb or delay this way its not just dead silence. You might want to also work on a better transition at 1:10 where it starts getting faster. From there you just need to extend the song a bit which could be done by maybe having the piano return with its notes echoing n the back and having the song mellow out a bit. Just an idea. Keep up the good work!

FEAST responds:

Lol there is reverb AND delay on the piano.

[Kombat Theme Remix]

....

While I agree that the game is one of the best ever i'm afraid that your remix is really just the original song thrown threw a phaser and with some added backround synth and repeats here and there...sry man but i have to turn this remix down..

[Falling From Flight]

Pretty good...

You've really got something here. The only things I can comment on are that the opening gets a bit repetitive 0:45 to 1:36. There are a few melody changes but i think some instrumental change might help make it more enjoyable. Besides that it's a pretty good song and keep up the good work!

Jasonatron responds:

I can see what you mean about the main section there. I guess I fell a little too in love with the growling bass. I could probably have lengthened the song as well, had I thrown different bits between the bass phrases. Thanks a lot for your feedback, it's much appreciated. :)

[Sw33t B34T]

Good beats but..

You have some nice beats but you could defintely do alot more with them. For instance at 2:05 and 2:45 you have some build up but then it just dies down again or stays the same. I think if you expanded more on them and had used the build up to lead to a "BOOM" of melody it would sound alot better. Also 3:00 does not work too well with the change of instrument. I would chnage the synth or transition into better rather than just have the sudden change. Hope this review help you and i hope to hear more form you! Keep it up! XD

punkmetalguy responds:

thanks for the advice mate:) i'll work on transitions better and how it could lead up to a "boom" xD

[Ship Deck (Dubstep Demo)]

Very nice!

Well done this is a pretty decent remix and it's dubstep none the less XD I would try to cut the synth's higher frequency a bit or lower their volume becuase they're tend to spike a bit sometimes which slightly ruins the song. Besides that well done dude and keep it up! XD

[To Amend]

Could be better.

The song sounds pretty nice but has potential for alot more. You might want to watch the volume on the guitar and piano becuase they seem to be fighting on the foreground of the song which is kinda distracting from the melody. Try to harmonize them at bit better and i think it would sound alot better and try throwing some low string chords in there for backround maybe too but make sure that the piano and guitar won't power over them or else it'll ruin it.
Overall a decent song that could be something much more. Keep it up! XD
