sorry bryce...

...but this does not fit in the Drum N' Bass category, and its more of a longer loop of beats than a complete Song, you've managed to make your own beats, rather than using FL presets, but your bassline is cheap and makes no sense, therefore I give you a 0 rating.

...come on man...sounds familiar?

Anyway...the title fits the theme, and as I see it, It was done as short project, just for fun, but it turned out well enough to be placed on newgrounds to get some notice.

4/5 6/10 (I like the "Internet hero" better ;)

bryce responds:

the bassline is supposed to be like that, i just made this because i was bored. i literally just opened fl studio, and soon dragged over a sample, then another, and then just made a cheap fast bassline and exported it.

who cares what category it's in, NG doesnt have any decent ones anyway. same for loop/song

don't take so much offense to me giving you a 0, am i not entitled to my own opinion you egotistical prick? it's not like you invested anything in creating that song that i have to give you a decent rating anyway

Nice

Come on people 2.xx ? This demo deserves at least a 4.0, Armored Games didn't contact you for nothing, keep it up, and don't let the light toned critic get you down ;)

psylentknight responds:

Thanks. Whatever the reason may be for the low ratings without any form of critiquing, it's not, and never will hold me back from doing what I came to do.

Nice...

I liked the minimalistic retro beat & bass, and the sounds you used were cool, the melody is a bit repetitive, but I liked it, its the kind of background music that fits perfectly while surfing the web, nothing I would dance to though :) ...1:52-1:56 reminded me of a part from Descent 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppVhPf D-27k&feature=related ---> PART(2:30-2:33)

Gave you 5/5, 8/10

The link doesn't work sorry :( But definitely thanks for the review. You can dance to it at certain parrrts... :p

I didn't like it...

...at first.., ...it sounded a bit repetitive.., but a bit later that catchy tune got me, so I've decided to write a short review while listening...

I like the sound used for the main melody it has a "soft" feel to it, the transitions are nice, and it all sounds quite balanced. I see no need for further modifications, because you'd have to change a lot to make it sound like something special. Don't get me wrong, for what it is, a stereotypical trance song, its fairly well made, I liked it, heard better of course, but gave you a 5/5 and 10* nevertheless ;)

could be better, but...

...don't let my low rating get you down, its 7 stars only because it sounds like it was recorded from a distance (which was most likely the case) and you can do better even with a plain headset, the "ending" doesn't flow into a perfect loop, and I bet you can do better. But overall it has a nice latin/spanish vibe to it and I would love to hear the complete piece with some chord progressions someday. I gave you 5/5 to give you a publicity boost and some motivation for future projects. Hope you get some money to help with the equipment, I hear potential :)

PS: thank you for supporting my work...

No-Picture responds:

oi, thanks friend. I haven't been on Newgrounds in such a while. I got some equipment by the way. Recordings are on the way. I'll probably return to this sometime next month or so.
Thanks for the ratings a few months ago, though. :D And no problem.

Hmm...

...on some parts it sounds a bit like a midi tune, but I don't mean it in a rude way, I like that type of sound if executed correctly. I like the melody the most, its very catchy, and the 2:00 piano part is very nice, sax could use a better sample, but its cool. Overall I gave you a 10/10 5/5 because I can hear all the effort you put into this, and as I said, I don't mind if the music lacks some high-tech effects and stuff, heck I still listen to some of the old NES tunes. Keep it up ;) Oh yeah, and the track has a nice loop which was good to have while writing a review.

merlin responds:

actually, that midi-sound might be because on three of the instruments on this song, they're HEAVILY distorted base sounds off of the SNES game mario paint. For instance, the panning bell is the star ;). I'm glad you liked my song, thanks for taking time to review and vote, it means a lot to me!

Regards,

I like it...

It almost sounds like an original mix from Nintendo, the reverb effect makes it sound more like a CD version, than a N64 or GBA one, but that's not to say that its bad. If I graded this for its uniqueness it wouldn't get such a high score, but since it's just a remix that sounds flawless, I gave it 5/5 10/10...keep 'em coming ;)

5/5
10/10

Been there done that, but...

4/5
7/10

Pretty basic use of creepy sound modulation, but it gets the job done, It's nothing special, but certainly usable. If you stick long enough to this kind of "music" you'll get even better results ;)

Loops should get their own rating category...

3/5
7/10

It isn't all that bad, It could be used in a Kirby dream-like sequence. It's main problem lies in the continuation of the loop, the melody cuts off a bit awkwardly. It's a shame that there isn't a whole separate category for loops, because some of the nice ones get horrible scores just because many people don't understand what a loop is, and other people refuse to vote high because it takes less effort to make a loop than a whole track. Almost nobody wants to see a short loop taking a place higher than a whole piece. Anyway, I made my short Kirby loop and it got decent scores, so I decided to listen to other tracks in Kirby category, yours was listed among the worst ones, but I gave it a listen, and hey, I find it to be pretty decent ;)

What to say...

...you showed true love towards the original and still managed to pull off something completely original. I love the part that starts around 3:56 it's amazing, and the the last two minutes really contribute to the whole composition. 5/5 10/10 MASTERFUL !!!

My main focus on Newgrounds is to share music that I produce in my spare time. I value every constructive review I get, and those always keep me motivated. Enjoy my channel, cheers ;-)
