Berkebus's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Gaia's River]

Perfect. Nothing else needs to be said.

NordicHazard responds:

hehehe i guess i'm far away from perfection but thanks a lot!

[Seasons Ending]

Love it. It feels as if you're trying to make some kind of 'anthem dubstep'. It's got style I havent heard before, and that gives you allot of points from me!

SWeissenP responds:

Thank you man!

[Rabbit - Fucking Tired]

I liked it because the start was so... simple and well, completely uninteresting. But at 00:40? Then I realised that was on purpose! Actually my favorite part of it. You lowered the beat after that again which I liked. The only part I felt was a little out of the rhythm was before the ending at around 2:30 till 3:20. The sounds sometimes weren't really my taste and they felt a little too rough at times.

VlikeVince responds:

Thx for the hints
I'll try to make it different next time

[Detious - Mind My Rage]

It's all in the tune. Simplistic but well exploited. That's pretty much how you make good house music in my opinion.

DetiousMusic responds:

Thanks. :D

[Super Misadventures!]

It was like a radio show, but actually entertaining. Wonderfull job, sir. Can't imagine any better.

Jim-Nickabocker responds:

Thank you, thanks to all who replied! I'm really glad folks find this funny! Means a lot to hear from you guys =)

[Let Go]

You had a really nice groove going at the start, but I had the feeling you didn't know what to add once you returned back to the basic beat at the midst of the song. You were adding synths and whatnot usin your bassline as... baseline.. , but I felt like you really should've focused some more on the drums and try to keep the groovy feeling instead of only just expanding your drums at the ending even though you'd been doing tons of things with your synths, which is probably why the end of the song came far too soon and abrupt. The drums should've come in way earlier.

Other than that expansion seemed necessary. The song didn't feel so finished to me. But, positive; The melodies were nice and the groove beat at the start was really good. You also know how to work with the slider, which I tend to avoid myself. :P

CidiousClef responds:

Thank you Berkebus, for the review. I'll take some time later to return the favor.

You are right about the drums; they're very weak, and I tried to use as many sounds as possible to cover it up. I'm going to go back and some drum rolls which the track could probably use, but some parts are insanely crowded...

On that middle part, I was trying to break away some stuff, and leave just the basic beat, a synth and the bassline, and then mess around with the bassline so I could build back up with a different melody, since straight up slamming them together would've been awkward. I really didn't know what to put there to keep things interesting, which is why that part is so weak, now that I think about it.

Now I just have to work on fixing those problem parts and work on the ending. Add more groove and whatnot. :)

[ECHO - Eye of the Dragon]

It's just film music! What are you doing here?! Go make movies!

Echo responds:

Yes sir! :P

Thanks for the review ;)

[Heading Nowhere]

It reminds me allot of a level in Jazz Jackrabbit 2, if you know what that is! I also have no idea what you were going for, but I think the song stands really nice on its own, possible for some kind of game theme. The simple sounds in the background were the best idea of the whole thing in my opinion, like the quiet small bell.

Jin responds:

Thanks. Glad it resembles something good.
