[Quest of the Manwhore]

Some critic? Anyone?

I just dont like this. And im not quite sure why, but its just irritating. Ive listened to this a few times and its never that funny. At all. Maybe i have a lousy sense of humor. It seems that this is rated pretty high so everyone disagrees...or is it that people here in NG`s have very low standards. Cant be that. Someone really worked on this i guess, meaning its well produced and it sounds pro, but the humor and the feeling created here is just not work of art. Things used to have deeper meaning or am i missing something here. Now its just a guy saying dirty stuff, sometimes it rhymes, monotonic, never really changing the pitch with a simple beat embedded on the background. Perfect for stoned people to "sing". Need pitch correction? Forget autotune! Just sing along Quest of the manwhore and hit every note! Im not a big fan of this. Why do people like this SO much?

[xKore - Fire]

Wow

Awesome in everyway. What software do you use? Any hardware synths?

[-{Skyline}-]

Awesome

Me likes da drums. But the instrument which is introduced at 1:30 is a little plain ans thin. Wouldve been perfect with something more intresting instead of that particular sound.. AND a bit more bass would hit the spot. AND still im giving you 10 which i dont usually give. Nice touch on the drums. :)

[Ambient Tune]

Hello!

I thought this was shit. But no. It was something else. There really was something behind and i almost got a hand of it but it was too short. Damn. Something longer next time, but beware, nothing goes unseen. PLEASE something longer so i can process. :)

shiztime responds:

Thanks for your feedback, Jake. I haven't heard from you in a while. How is Kentucky treating you? ;)

[[NB] Megaman 3 StageSelect mix]

Almost my favourite song.

Ive been listenin a lot of megaman and other 8bit remixes, some plausible some not, but now for once im gonna say something. At first, hearing one of my favourite megaman songs playing when openin the audioportal front page, i got psyched and eager to hear the rest...as the song progressed i REALLY really REAALLY hoped it would deliver somethin deeper, not only a simple bass drum line thumpin, you know the one anyone could do and then put a plate right after a thump and scatter some smaller ones around. But you did exactly that. I was so hopin for some serious shit, FOR ONCE, complicated yet simple to the ear drum'n'bass, BUT no. And the main synth needs somethin less. Too much dance, something more retro yet powerfull. And someone said it overpowers other instruments... true, and that doesnt mean its powerfull. Wasnt all bad tho, real quality sounds, just keep workin on the structure. Sequence things right or better or atleast in a way it says somethin more... AND mr. megaman is a friend to all analogue synths.

weemeee responds:

Well like i said in earlier reviews i just might do some more MM remixes, and who knows i'll do just that :) Thanks for the review!

[SJ [Dead Space]]

A Bit tighter and it would snap durin penetration.

And about the song :D I see youve no problems with your reese or snare. Absolute delight yet too short to reach climax. Id like to know how to get the drums so "together intact", somewhat pendulumic beat. And Id like to know which software you use :) What you are lacking, are definitely NOT tecnical skills, but the melody and all that which makes it memorable, that distinction which makes you differ from all the other reese and snare lovers. Then again if its meant to work as a soundtrack, then its superb. Oh yes, and in some point (here and there), it gets just slightly a bit mushy. Cant really put my finger on it, maybe its the snare after all, not being crystal enough. I guess i have to listen to your other songs if theres more to it. But ingenius drums and bass, loud and clear.

SteakJohnson responds:

Thanks man, glad ya liked it. I guess this one is more soundtracky, but some fun arps in there couldn't hurt anything... But I use Fl studio 9, snare needs some treble boosting indeed. The pendulumic beat i think, is through the use of limiters/compression/eqing, i used all those on the drums.

[TiGeR - Altocumulus]

Great :)

Nice one here. Absolute perfection with the bass and drums. Everythin else fits too. Only a few things just didnt go that well especially the part where it starts again with the flow, just before that around 1:55 feels like my computer is lagging or something :D. Anyway just had to say somethin about that TristanLuigi guys comment. Dear god how stupid can one be. It doestn matter which genre or how fast or how simple a song is, it can still be the greatest song ever.

TiGeR responds:

Agree, nothing wrong with calmness >.<

Anywho, thx for the review!

[Leaving Home - JM]

Original tickings

I liked this from the start, great unique sounds, everythin sounds crisp with a lot of warmness in them! All instruments fit, feel like im playing little big planet. Only its a bit repetetive, but as game music it serves its purpose. At the end i was hoping for some change in the melody.
