Maverickmode's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Shelter]

Incredibly atmospheric and engaging piece. I've never been a huge IDM fan, but I REALLY like this! The song really pulls you in.
Well done!

Can I ask what synthesizers you're using?

[Asterism]

Damn, this is good! Really good! The bass is intense and awesome, and I love the trance square kind of synth melody coming in over the mix. The buildups and breakdowns are superb, the kind that make your blood rush.
What synthesizers were you using?

Kloudtana responds:

I use almost exclusively Harmor nowadays. This song is all Harmor, drum samples, and 3xOsc for the white noise.

[Bastion's keep]

Really great song. In my opinion the drums really don't fit with the song. But other than that it sounds really good!

[EnNinja - Attempt One]

It sounds kind of interesting, but you need to actually take the time to make it into a full song. Right now, I can't really tell whether I like it or not, because there's not really anything there to judge. It's just a kick, some wobble bass (that's in a different time signature, just to let your know), and then a pretty cool sounding major trance synth.

EnNinja responds:

Thank you for the great review! Ya I didn't have much time then I made it (because of my parents rules) but in the future I'm going to put down more work on my songs.

[snowfall in an empty land]

This is a very atmospheric piece, and I really feel the cold atmosphere you're trying to produce. I mean, I honestly felt chills while listening to this. That's powerful!

johnfn responds:

chills hah! how appropriate! thanks dude!

[Tuning Up]

Wow. This is original, catchy, and very nicely executed. It's very exciting and engaging, and though I seem to rarely be particularly impressed by music on NG, this really amazes me. Your use of filters is some of the best that I've heard anywhere in quite some time.
Wonderful!

Smitsy responds:

Thanks man! Glad you like it! Means alot to me ;)

[Senile Granny]

That's hilarious.

MDeBonis responds:

Thanks, Maverickmode!! :)

[Multifarious]

As an artist, it's good that you're moving away from premade loops/clips. To be completely honest, I did exactly the same thing when I first started making electronic music. But getting out of the habit is a really good thing to do, because it allows your true sound to come forth and show itself.

Is that FL studio you're using?

Matches responds:

Thanks, feels more original when I don't use other peoples beats, hoping to find more people that do it like that. I'm still working on making sick drum beats haven't quite gotten it down yet, practice makes perfect though.

Indeed it is, I only have FL studio 9 at the moment, getting about time to upgrade lol Thanks for the review, I'll keep off the samples as much as possible :]

[COVER アイモ～鳥のひと]

Wow, that's profoundly beautiful. Well done indeed! Your voice sounds really powerful and pure, and the piano sounds so clear and perfect that I can't decide whether it was played live and recorded with mics or if it's a digital instrument.

ThePotatoCat responds:

Thank you very much!

[Harmless Acidity ~M~]

It's interesting and original, and I like it. I don't think I've heard anything quite like it, and in a world filled with so much electronic music, that's quite the compliment. Just when I think I get what this song is, there's another little surprise coming around the corner.
I will say, one of your cymbal sounds is a little bit annoying and sort of doesn't fit into the mix. Also, it can be a little spazzy/out there at times.
But in general, it's a really nice piece. Well done!

Matches responds:

Thanks for the input, I see what you mean about the cymbals, I'll keep that in mind for next time
