Bosa's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mr. D Has a Freak Show]

Short and repetitive, but I like it. It kinda reminds me of some sort of comedy act at a circus (which is what I assume you had in mind while creating this).

I would like to hear an extended version sometime in the future maybe, but that is up to you. The instrument quality is sub-par, but that's not a big deal. Other than the instrument quality, everything else sounds great to me and is inline with your original freak show idea.

This is very simple and to the point, so I like it very much. This is deserving of my five vote.

[Deathwish]

Since this is your only song without a review, I thought it would be most appropriate. I'm no death metal expert by any means, so if you catch my stupidity you can call me out on it.

The song truly is metal, there is no doubt about that. I like the simplicity of it. I'm not sure if you were just bored or you really put thought into it, but it turned out just fine to me.

The only thing that bothered is the drum sequencing at 1:08-1:15 it sounded like the track was skipping or like it was some kind of printing press machine. There are other instances of this happening, but I'm assuming you've improved upon it by now.

Like I said, I'm no metal expert; so, I cannot really give sound advice on improving a metal sound, but I hope that I may encourage you to continue creating music. Maybe you'll end up making cinematic music with me in the coming days.

[Leading The Blind]

I haven't dug deep into this kind of music since the yahr of 2004. The source of your bg sfx is very interesting. However, I would like to know what you were doing in your grandmother's attic.

This song is definitely reminiscent of some of the earlier Newgrounds tracks you could find in the portal. I must say kudos for an excellent Drum N' Bass track -- you always cease to amaze me with your unmatched skill and talent.

5/5 Stars * 5 Vote of course

[{TSO} William Troll Ovtr.]

My theme song, if ever I would have one. So realistic how did you pull that off?

samulis responds:

Every time I saw a bridge on my travels, I asked the troll living under it if he could play any instruments.

[We Are Stardust]

Very heartwarming. It definitely has an emotional post-pop/rock feel while remaining quite atmospheric. Somebody might complain about a lack of lyrics, but I love the music just fine. I have it on loop.

You did an excellent job sticking to what you wanted to convey; you didn't go off on some crazy experimental movement, but you kept true to your original theme. The cello at the beginning was an excellent choice to usher in the rest of the track.

The lead was a bit predictable, but that didn't keep me from enjoying this song. It certainly reminds me of some sort of romance or love drama. Probably not what you had in mind, but I'm sure all the girls will dig this for years to come.

5/5 Stars & 5 Vote

Keegs responds:

Thanks man! That electric guitar was supposed to be more of a background drone, but i guess it ended up carrying more of the melody than I had intended. I'll try to keep better tabs on that for the next one!

Thanks for the review!!

[Project Saviour]

Put this in the cinematic genre!

5/5 Starz & 5 vote

Emid responds:

Thanks a lot for the comment, vote and thanks for pointing out :)

[[Nim]Act 2: Downtown]

Definitely sounds like a noire from the 40's! I appreciate somebody who is willing to submit something new and interesting. Lord knows we have enough dubstep and metal.

I can actually put myself in the shoes of a investigator while listening to this; It's very immersive in that regard. The stylistic change @ 2:38 was sudden, but I liked it. The only thing was the clarinet's velocity was too loud, and also the guitar might of been somewhat out of place, but nothing is ever perfect.

Quite excellent, sir.

5 vote and 4.5 starz

Nimble responds:

Yes, I do try to explore different styles and genres whenever I write something big like this. It's like being a hipster, i decide myself to be different. Of course, this is one of my few successful attempts at being different, the others have never seen the web, abominations as they are.

I was even thinking of adding some footstep samples and talking to some of the background to give it a more authentic feel(I've been getting into adding samples and clips into music recently), which i think would help even more with immersion. The style change in this song came out of nowhere, but i went with it nevertheless because it sounded nice. I shall tone down the clarinet a little, honestly I did think that it was too soft when i was putting the finishing touches and upped it a notch, I overdid it there :P Guitars and Alto Saxes(and by extension Clarinets) give a nice texture when playing in unison, which is why it might be a bit out of style/placing.

Thank you for thine review sir, it helped me realize what else i could to do make this song better.

[Second Breath]

Excellent work! I found that the chord progression you used really added a dynamic and dramatic feel to the song. The lead instrument which sounds like a celli playing higher notes amplified the determined mood of this track. I'm glad you put this in cinematic because I can really see this being used in a game. I hope the guys you made this for use this track in 'Fall of Arzo'

The only reason you got .5 deducted was because the instruments were synthy and not realistic, but that isn't a huge deal for me like it is for other people. I'm just glad you're submitting something great like this to the portal.

4.5 stars and a 5 vote from me.

DESHIEL responds:

-The lead is actualy merged from one soundfont and two sytrus vsts :)
-The guy in charge of The Fall of Arzo was very pleased with the piece so it's going to be there. :)
- Yeah I was already "warned" about some pureblood rants around this kind of music.

Ofcourse, synthetics cannot replace the real sound (atleast mine do not xd) but I've spent a great deal of tweaking these synthetics to atleast sound well. Because had you hear them in thier unmastered state you would probably decide to kill me for the sake of humanity.

Well that is the price to pay now that I don't have money to buy equipment and I'm very thankfull for every free 'gift' that I happen to obtain from the other artists.

So while I do understand some people's concern about the quality, I cannot and will be not held back by some ruckuss about the impurity of the sound.
After all, sound is just an instrument, it's the composition and the idea that matters.

So ty for yo review man. ;)
