BallinFatty's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hailstones]

does remind me of space :D

aside from the lengthy intro melody, this piece was pretty impressive. i like the cymbals that came in around 2:10. some parts were a little repetitive, prefferably the intro melody, but it was nice and had some cool filtering effects, so ill let it slide. i was expecting a little more variation being that it is a 7 minute song, i guess the sound effects and transistions in the beat count. not one of my personal favorites of yours, but very well composed nonetheless

4/5 8/10

(im got a new track up after 2 months of nothing, and will uploading another today)

svinepels responds:

Thanks for the review. I know that the repetitiveness of this song may not fit everyone's musical taste. It's actually inspired by a piece of one of my favorite bands, a 9 minute long, repetitive xylophone orchestration which is so repetitive that the small variations that appear through the whole song are more easily noticed. It's one of the best songs I know! That's what I tried in this song too, to have a repetitive theme but to have small variations that kind of make the whole thing epic. But I'm glad you liked it, if not as much as many of my other songs :)

By the way, I have actually made a lot of songs in 2010, I've just not cared to upload them to Newgrounds. If you're interested, you can download my newest album from my news section, or just wait until I eventually upload the new songs :]

ok this is way too good to put in words

i dont know how u pulled this off, but out of all the songs ive reviewed, (almost 300, lol sparta!!) anyways, this is probably the best of them all

musical genius u r!! 5/5 10/10 downloaded

(check out sum of my stuff, preferably the more recent)

T-Free responds:

Thanks for the review, BallinFatty! xD
I'm glad you enjoyed listening, and I'll check out some of your recent tracks in a moment. :)

[Paragon Burning]

well, long time no hear :)

good to hear from u again.. is this new, or sumthing from a while back? it sounds much different from anything ive ever heard from you (thats a good thing). this actually isnt bad at all, only thing i would say needs to be tweaked is the drum beat. it doesnt change hardly ever. its fits great for this type of song, but a little variation wouldve been nice. other than that, this is pretty dam epic

5/5 10/10 downloaded, nice job!! if this isnt a new piece, id like to see what yur capable of now. heres my latest piece if u havent already listened to it

Wraithrot responds:

Sweet stuff. I will check it out.

I'll be posting something that's actually new I suppose. But the thing needs vocals, and not my vocals. I might grab someone soon to do it. Be on the look out.

[Mega Man 9 - Galactic]

loving the slayer

that is what u used isnt?? i can never get it to sound right..

anyways nice job! 5/5 10/10

saintedix responds:

Blood overdrive filter (with some tweaks), combo the DIST Dire Straits and DIST Wah Wah and play with the Amp settings a little bit. You really have to get used to the FL Slayer interface to get it to sound decent!

[Mega Man 10 - Bastion of Blade]

loving the timpanis!!

this is truly an amazing piece right here!! totally fits the theme of this stage, aside from the tilty thing hahah. loving the drum beat

if u saw my comment, you should make the solar man theme similar to the way yur sonic 2 mix of chemical plant was made, i meant to put that there!!

anyways, for this, 5/5 10/10. downloaded

saintedix responds:

Thanks Ballin, I'm trying to put some things together for Solar Man. Really, just waiting for a little creativity to strike with that tune. ;)

[Fond of Fortresses]

epic win here

great stuff here!! been a while since i heard anything new... i think you've finally topped natural curiosity, didnt think it was possible. once 1:42 came, it was epic from there to end. and i loved how you went from heavenly to crazy to heavenly again and ending with some crazed action. lol

glad u made this song!! 5/5 10/10 dld

svinepels responds:

I'm really glad you liked it. Finally someone who think this song is as epic as I think! (trying not to brag) Thanks for the top score.

[Candy Flu]

i'm getting down to this

this is so catchy. amazing job. but, yea like the guy below me, not DnB. more like video game, or maybe trance?? anyways, whatever. this is an amazing song

5/5 10/10 downloaded :D

td6d responds:

Thanks man! Have fun with the download! ^^

[-Carrots-]

(people find this review useless)

Waterflame responds:

haha, correct. just smashed this down for fun, so i diddnt bother to program all the sytrus synths. thanks!

[~DT~ 8-Bit Upgraded (Raw)]

the bass is distorted

but it sounds awesome in surround sound headphones. a little staticy from comp speakers tho. who cares?? epic win 8/10!!

:D

DeatHTaX responds:

thanks man. Idk why it sounds so bad on everyone else's comps. Mine sounds ok, though i can understand where they come at with the whole "grainy" thing

Thanks a lot for your input and takin the time to write the review!

[My Mechanical Nightmares WIP]

sorry i took so long

so i said i'd review it. i'm just sorry it took me so long to get to it.

it isnt too bad. kinda repetitve, couldve used a few more melodies and stuff. i liked the second half after the break tho, that was pretty awesome. nice use of sfx thruout as well

the lack of variation is the only thing keeping it from higher than 8 XD

aloneagainfriend responds:

ok ty :)
