jeghyan's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[I Know My Rights]

Awesome!

The vocal variety is great! The guitars are awesome. The Bass is great! The drum beats are heavy and neat... But my favorite is that panning sound... I assume that's a pretty synthesizer sound....? I really like this. Very awesome stuff!!!

Southwest-Statistic responds:

It's a Yamaha PSR-85 keyboard with a guitar delay pedal and reverb pedal, which is this distorted to the max and then sent through an EQ to get rid of all the high-end clipping sounds the distortion makes. Thanks for the review everybody.

[Skeletal Rock]

Heh!

Fun little tune you've got here ^.^! Not really rock and some people might yell at you for that, but still I think it's pretty neat! I like the bells ^.^! Nice job.

TheUnderlord responds:

Thanks! You're right, I should have placed it under Techno or something... *shrugs* Ah well, next submissions will be put in their proper places.

[Death To be True]

I like the style here!

All the sounds are quite pretty, though they are be a bit repetetetive... The opening sound really is too loud for such a sharp sounding clip though.... But I like it ^.^! The beat is pretty decent too ^.^! Keep making more of this ^.^!

Heitoki responds:

Im sry about that first instrument >.> i do appreciate the review ^^

[Strike Two]

Grandiose!

Heh! I love these type of super symphony-esque peices!!! Reminds me of over-dramaticized parts of movies and all.. And the band Evanescence... Heh.. And I like how it starts to chop and fade into a more... uhhh.... modern sounding peice? But the music sounds a little........ Blurry.. or something... recording wise... Perhaps it's just my speakers...... Welll... Keep on writting this stuff please ^.^!

mrStrike responds:

Thanks for reviewing this! I am currently using a microphone to record so there might be some collateral noises that appear throughout the song. This caused the choppiness and stuff. I tried my best to get as many of the excess noises out of the song and I will hopefully get an midi cable soon. Again thanks for reviewing jeghyan.

[Fire Head - Violence]

Nice riff ^.^!

Pretty neat, and awesome recording quality as you usually have... The guitar sounds really deep and neat! Well, I really like the tune ^.^!

Whack-a-mole responds:

Hey, we have this as a finished song now (which will be on our website pretty soon). anyway thanks for the comments and support. If you want to check Fire Head out in full, then our website is www.angelfire.com/vamp/firehead

[What's In The Box?]

Good... but the recording...

I like this song but I think it can use some improvement...

The guitar work is really nice. I like it quite a bit. Unfortunately I feel the recording here is a little worse than in "For You."

I'm okay with the vocals here, but the lack of clarity is really taking away from the song -.-;

Nothing is too clear at all in this song and I think that's the major flaw. Everything sounds muffled... just a poor recording... I don't like to be so pessimistic because it is a good song. It's just a poor recording. Keep working on your recording techniques...

PlasticMessiah responds:

This recording is taken from a live soundboard, and really isn't meant to be played on pc speakers. I know it's not the best but it serves it's purpose as audio for simple listening.

["FOR YOU" by Plastic Messiah]

Great song but the recording could be improved.

I'd like to start by saying I REALLY like the style of this song. It's moody and dreary, but not boring, and I appreciate that in a song. Now the technical bit...

I like the guitars a lot, they have that nice melodic quality and while they are repetetive, I like them anyways. The drums, while also very repetetive are effective. Unfortunately I have to say that the recording quality isn't too good, but that's not too important...

The singing, I feel is good, but it sounds quite muffled and frankly is not very clear in this recording.

As far as the song structure... I like that messy intro to it, but after that it feels like one big steady song with no rise or fall in action. This isn't necesarilly a bad thing, but be careful of overusing that format...

When it comes down to it I really enjoy this song but wish the recording quality were better.
Keep it up though ^.^! I'd really like to hear more ^.^!

PlasticMessiah responds:

Thanks for the review. Yeah recording is always a sketcy thing, but a lot of these were just test runs, especially this track, because we were using a drum machine for the first time.
