HighBallers's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[S,J] Jealous One]

nice

nice to see some time sig changes. You would usually see that kind of shit in some progressive metal. I'm loving the creepiness of this song. Makes me wanna go watch Event Horizon

[Kirby Dreamland (Remix)]

its cool

the beginning kinda sounds a bit weird. The guitar distortion is weak. You should probably never ever use those fake guitar synths ever again....just sayin.

MtZion responds:

Thanks for the review!
Yeah i got really experimental at the beginning...
...Which guitar are you talking about? the one at 00:24 - 00:28? or the one at the end? because the one at 00:24 - 00:28 isn't a synth. the guitar at the end i'm not quite sure, but i think i can agree that it use a bit more distortion.

the thing thats probably making it sound like a synth is the panning and maybe a bit of automation, because those two guitars are the ones i use in this song: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/liste n/357109 and they dont really sound like a synth to me.

[Crystal Snail vs Wind Cro]

nice

i can't believe this song is already used in an entry. crazy.

Gario responds:

It'd be great, too, except I needed to edit the track to write the actual name of the song, but now I can't >:(

Really, though, I'm glad someone used it - no complaints from me (and for the record, the name of the track is "Crystal Crow Crusher").

Edit: The flash was deleted, I guess, so now I can name my track. Yay.

[==(Savage Sea)==]

nice

i see your style, very progressive. Take one beat and add a bunch and bunch of layers on top. its nice. Very slow pace. Our styles are completely different, i don't know how this round is gonna turn out. Good luck brosepheramous.

[Chum Rub]

i was playing around with this

and let me say it groves very nice. Very fun to play along with

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Cool man, did you post anything? Or are you going to wait for the full version? Glad you dig. \m/

[Stickerbrush Symphony (DKC2xM)]

nice song

love the dynamics of it. However....you need better tone, i know you hear this alot. but i'm tellin' yah you should get a badass lil interface or somesort. It will compress your tone so you can hear more of the synths. Also...the bends i'm hearing sound a bit off....practice on hitting that right note when you bend, it will make this song sound more pro. Sounds like you put alot of work on this song

Pure-Metal-UTA responds:

Thanks for the review! When you mean tone, you're talking about the guitar's distortion or the song overall? If you're talking about the guitar, then this is the first time I've heard that, but I don't deny that a little compression wouldn't help, because I don't compress it at all. As for the bends, yeah I've found certain bends in this song where I overbend or underbend, takes practice, and that I shall do!
Seriously though if it's the guitar tone that's been having a negative effect on my songs then I definately need to fix that.
Thanks very much for the review!

[ripped apart (vox)!]

HHAA holy shit i forgot about this

yo dood, its cowdog2 i made a new account. I tootttallly forgot about this track. sounds fucking awesome. Hey if you ever want to do another track, let me know.

[Megaman 3 Opening Guitar Cover]

UNN!

dood, at first i was thinking....it was a bit sloopy and slow. but bam, it kicks right into high gear. Badass shit. DOOD, if you are gonna make a metal version of this song, take it aaaaaaalll the way. reprogram the drums to sound heavier and shit. But the 8bit take on this song was a good way to goo as well, keepin' it retro.

Sayaman64 responds:

Thanks for the constructive criticism (I think it was anyway :P)

I appreciate the positive feedback.

I may do a heavier version in the near future, keep checking back for new submissions!

[Toy Box Battle]

cool song

my Spawn action figure

[Broaden Your Sound]

kickass track

yo, this a badass track dood. Flows real real nice. Just one thing is when you do a rhythm track, its much better to keep it to the rawest form...and that is pure distortion. All that flanger effects loses its tight ness. When i play with a drum set, i only use my Head and never any pedals. I apply that same concept when i do my recordings.

Solo was badass,
acoustic part was badass too
