Shoephly's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dan Roth - Breathe]

Wow! O.O

Damn first of all I want to give you credit for your commitment, i mean working on one song for 72 hours, I start hating my own tracks once i've worked on them for more than 10hours or so xD - anyway

On to the review of this song; one word PERFECTION. It was really something special, good timings with everything, awesome mastering, perfect sidechaining etc! And lol the 1:54+ part gave me an Eric Prydz - Call On Me feeling at some points; only more awesome. :D

Keep it up, you have everything it takes to become famous; the right sound and dedication ^^

looking forward to hearing more songs from you :)

iheartsonyheadphones responds:

Jeez, thanks! I feel honoured how you said ''Perfection'' I never ever thought i'd get this far with music, especially on Newgrounds! It's been a real pleasue reading your review, and your words really do mean a lot! Thank you, thank you very much!
(I can't believe i've gotten this kind of response!)

I really appreciate your words, thank you.

Your friend,
Dan Roth <3

[[dB] Catch A Shooting Star]

Great stuff

:D
really nice, liked it all in general, only thing i personally liked "less" was the synth sound you used (0:33-35 is the synth i mean) perhaps if you mixed it in with a lower end almost plucked sound it would make it sound deeper and perhaps more epic :)
But that's just my two cents in the matter xD

Keep it up :)

Decibel responds:

Thanks ^^ Glad you like it =D

[[dB] Underwater Scenic Route]

awesome!

must say i really enjoyed it, the intro had awesome "warmth" to it, just a pleasure to listen. You had pretty good mastering throughout the whole track, really enjoyed the small touches in this track like the water in the begining and on 1:18 when the synth drops with sidechaining; loved that part :D

You've come quite a long way since the last song of yours i check out ^^
Keep it up bro! :D

-shoephly

PS. check out my newest track if you find the time ^^

Decibel responds:

Haha, people seem to like this =D
That actually isn't water, that applause with loads of highpass and reverb.

I'm glad you like my stuff mate, I'll check your track out now. =)

[Majoras Mask - Last Hours]

lol

I believe i reviewed your other version when u first posted it, and now I come across this one, what are the odds? xD

Anyway, the feel of it is waaaaay better, i can see that you spent quite some time on it, first of all the intro first 40 sec were perfect, then when the slow kick hits in (still really awesome) there was a slight personal disslike to the sidechaining, somehow in my opinion if you sidechained it to the frequency cutoff of the padsaw if would sound "deeper" and thus make it more epic :D

And the lead melody needs some slight tweaks with the mastering.

These are just slight things that i myself think could be improved on, but all in all: Great piece and great job!

keep it up man! ! ^^

[Children of The Bongo]

OMG, i've been listening to your music quite abit through http://binaerpilot.no for quite some time, always enjoying everything you make, having no idea you had a newgrounds account.
Imagine my suprise seeing this song posted by you >:D

So, on to reviewing; really awesome stuff, love the feel of it all, really nice vocal clip usage - instant favourite

-shoephly

Binaerpilot responds:

Well, I figured Binärpilot would expand his audience by having an NG account, so he let me make one for him! It seems to be working so far.

[My Epson Has Feelings]

dude...

Now i got this melody in my head.. not cool!

But in all seriousness, I must say this melody and overall composition just really speaks to me, and it's saying: This is unbelieveably awesome! :D

Keep it up bro, and i'm sure your wife and daughter will/are love/ing this :)

ps. if you have time please checkout/comment on my newest song :)
would truely appreciate it

-shoephly

amtrack responds:

Thanks for the comment. Glad you liked it. i will definitly look at your piece.

[Eerie Theme Park]

Pretty damn sweet

Was a really well made loop, could definetly see this in a flash movie with a creepy themepark theme xD

keep up the good work

-shoephly :)

Shigimatsu responds:

Hey, thanks a lot :)

[My Only Hope]

awesome

sounds awesome, really enjoyable to listen to.

A suggestion i could give is at 1:02+ish when the saw hits in, it wouldve loved it if it was "warmer", if that makes any sense at all to you? The saw doesnt feel rich enough(depth?) to stand on it's own there, in my opinion at least.

other than that little personal opinion the song in general was awesome,
keep it up. :)

Ikeproductions89 responds:

thanks, im trying to work on getting that "warmer" sound.

im on youtube as well if you wanna check out some more :)

[Majora's Mask - Last Hours]

nice

really liked the feel of everything untill like 1:20+ ish, that sidechained bass-saw or whatever felt so off, for me atleast.

Overwise really nice song, very well made, but it's all down to ones own individual tastes.

keep it up. :D

ps. check out my newest track if you have time :)

-shoephly

gavkay21 responds:

Thanks man, you got link for this song and i will happily review it

[Wish Wash (Ke$ha Parody)]

nice!

pretty nice, good lyrics. And don't worry about the autotune being overdone, it wouldn't be a real parody without the slight autotune exaggeration.

keep up the good work :)

SatoDraygonFist2 responds:

Thanks to the auto-tune cranked to 100, the ends of my phrases and words sort of do this weird wobble thing. Like they're a little .. bit .. (YOU CANNOT AVOID THIS PUN; IT IS ON ITS WAY JUST ACCEPT IT!) .. tipsy.

xD Thanks for the words!
