lidlurch's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Xx Shackles and Rust xX]

wow

bit repetative at the beggining, but it goes into really cool moods and the instrumentation is amazing. it's like a mix of something from a creepy video game and who wants to be a millionaire xD. the only advice i've got is to take out the claps. in my opinion those take away from the whole acousticness of the song. other than that, great job! i'd also add in more horns and make it a bit longer

btw, could you check out some of my stuff? thanks :)

shesmackshard responds:

thanks mang. the song loses a lot of electronica feeling to it when the claps are replaced with a snare or just taken out all together, and certain sections dont transition smoothly without it. they were in the original too.

I didnt use any horns and Im not really a fan of them haha. thanks for the review, Ill be sure to check out your stuff in time.

[DK64 Frantic Factory (Orch)]

0_0 this is amazing

i really love this song. it's quite fit for a symphonic band or orchestra to play!! i think you could add some more complicated parts into it to make it a little more challenging to play, but other than that the whole idea and melodies all work really really well. i love the bell parts that come and go. it reminds me of something from an adventure game like wizard101 (hate that game, but the music is cool). great job!!

btw, coud you check my stuff out? i need editing tips. thanks ;)

BowserThedestructive responds:

sure will do ^_^ ill check your music out. thanks for the review

[Where Do Legends Live?]

hmm

lol, reminds me of the princess bride!! in this case it's alright to have the notes rub in the beginning because it's supposed to sound threatening, but i would work on the drums. i like the whole idea of making a whole bunch of percussion parts, but make sure that you spread them out a bit more u know? i would also like to see a different bass instrument. other than that it sounds pretty sick!

[Latin Jazz Loop]

weird lol

to tell you the truth i don't like it much...i don't mean to be a jerk or anything, but the rubs with the instruments don't work out too well with this one. it also sounds extremely synthesized. did you input the notes or play them on a keyboard? i like the style, but you need alot of work on this one. the first suggestion i give is to keep the piano and get rid of the sax and horns cuz those instruments suck on garage band. then make sure that you keep all of the instruments in key

SourPuddle responds:

I input notes, and I actually was hoping someone told me to take out the sax, because it really does sound bad.

Thanks, man!

[Adventure Road 3]

hmm...

interesting beginning for sure! i really like that background organ as well, and the rubs in both synths really work out well! it reminds me of walking through some updated area of istanbul. i could see this in a videogame based in the desert or something. i love it! the only criticism i have to offer is to try and stick with one melody, but other than that it's fantastic.

SourPuddle responds:

Yeah, I think I outdid myself a little much on the solos for the organ here. This song kind of shows that, me, repetitive? Never!

Thanks for the review, bro.

[The Night Is Swollen Preview]

wow

I really like this ambient jazzy sort of song! i can't wait until the guitar part, bro! lol, i could see this song being sped up by 100% and sounding just like some awesome elevator music. speaking of elevator music, this is the best elevator music i've ever heard xD the only thing i i don't like is the length, but other than that it's awesome

SourPuddle responds:

Yeah, I would shorten the length, but there's huge gaps where the pad riffs with the drums where I want the guitar solos to come in. Hopefully, those will make it seem less lengthy.

["long goodbye" (final)]

epic 0_0

Wow, i mean, this is a final draft so it should be good, but when i started listening to it i was like "this is incredible" the only thing i have a problem with is the first half being really long and repetative. you could use a bit more trimming down on it, but it's still really good. 4/5 ;)

btw, could you check my stuff out? i need to edit alot of it, so it would be greatly appreciated :D

[Uncertainty is?]

hm..

I'm really digging your style dude!! i'ts not as typical as most electronica stuff that you listen to. however, i could see that synth that starts out at the begging changing later on in the song, so that it doesn't get so repetative. 4/5 ;)

btw, could you check out my stuff? thanks ;)

Epitaph64 responds:

Thanks for the review, I'll give your page a go :D

[reasonsfornotlivinghere]

alright

this is a pretty neat loop, but you need more parts to it than what you have. make other countermelodies and other refrains to it, and it'll sound pretty cool. you know how the zelda songs go? they have alot of parts to them, and i could see this same song with that. 3/5 ;)

Btw, could you check my stuff out? thanks :)

[Delpi]

extend this sucker!

this is just sick!! totally epic and amazing. mysterious and flowing, yet on edge. i really like it alot! you really should extend it to be a bit longer and maybe make a different version where it goes into a wild techno frenzy. lovin it bro!

SourPuddle responds:

Makes sense, alright man, I'll do it! I just need to recreate it all. Currently, my computer with FL studio died out, so we'll just have to wait.

Thanks bro!
