Bobox's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[AriA] The Last Prodigy]

Cool :)

Hmm, I must notice the distinctive style of playing the main melody. As in your other track "Rythmic Explosion" you tend to mix up the rhythm of notes so it makes for a fine tune to groove on :) But even though I like this very much I had to lower the score because of some parts that came out poorly equalized (It happens I know...) and the track could be a bit longer, but still it makes a fine loop so that didn't affect the score... 5/5 9.5/10 ...If this is any indication of what you plan to do with my track (not the equalization part ;) than I'm glad that YOU chose to remix it ;) Keep doing awesome music :)

IndieDance responds:

will do =] thanks!

[Shifting time]

Hmm...

...dunno why this got such a bad score, maybe it was bombed like some of my work... I gave you 4/5 & 6/10 (it's a shame that it's not a perfect loop, but it's not bad either)

SonicJ responds:

AW, thanks man :D

[[AriA] <! Rythmic Explosion !>]

Very nice

The melody is on the simple side but it is nicely "randomised" so that its really nice to listen to, as it gives the illusion of constant expanding. Love the part at 0:34 where the trance synth and beat kick in, the track is also nice to listen to in a loop...what else to say, It made me wanna listen to more of your stuff...as I say in most of my reviews this isn't by far the best thing here on Newgrounds but it deserves a high score 5/5 10/10...keep it up, in a few years you could really benefit from your work ;)

IndieDance responds:

yayy thanks =]

great review btw =]

[Brinstar Spelunking]

Awww...

...this is my favorite track from the game. You did a good job recreating it, it's not perfect and it's missing a few sounds that would make it sound more finished, but it's cool nevertheless. I love the solo choir part but the beat that kicks in after it could be more intense, yet again, it's a track worth listening to, I even went back to it two days later ;) Anyway 5/5, 7/10...you'll get better, I know it ;)

Kloudtana responds:

Haha, thanks. I'll agree with on the missing a few parts, but I worked harder on this than I should have, and thus I was making no progress. So I put it up. Thanks for your review.

[Glacial]

hmm...cool (no pun intended :)

First of all, don't call it a song, it's more of a loop (just like you categorized it).
Ok.., now for the short review:

The good:
- nice melody
- it has a good atmosphere
- excellent for a first tune ;)
- could be used in a hub world in a game like Metroid or Zelda (it's nice to listen to it in a loop)

The bad:
- maybe a bit too distorted (I know you did it on purpose, but a tiny bit too much)

As you can see I think you have potential, at least you shown me that in this category of music. Gave you 5/5 9/10

Maxxx01 responds:

Thanks :D

[>=MaXiMuM SpaZeR=<]

Hmm...

...quite good actually, short & sweet and the sound is clean with good mastering, the beat is interesting, always changing... maybe a bit poor choice of some instruments but it's cool (I also make some poor choices) One more thing...at first few seconds I thought It was some kind of a Hip Hop Doom remix (Doom, as in video game) I'll give 4/5 & 7/10 because I'm sure you have some better stuff here ;)

MaximuMMaximuS responds:

thanks for your critique! yeah i guess you could say im somewhat video game influenced, ive been playing games since doom, infact that was definitely my favorite game back in the day... well okay other than zelda

[The Classic Windows Song]

cool :)

It has a certain charm to it... I like the clicky sound and my favorite parts are 00:54-1:11 & 2:06-3:01 ...considering your age I gave you 5/5 9/10, the real score would be 4/5 6/10 because it's a bit out of tune in some places, you can +1 your score if you did those parts on purpose :)

LucasTret responds:

Thanks, dude.

And sorry for the problem. D:

EDIT: I put those dings over there to change the mood of the song.

[Drinking a Party]

Yaaay :D

hahaha, yeah...it's a happy little tune, bass could use some work but its cool, great music coming from a kid 5/5 8/10

LucasTret responds:

Thanks!

[*Forgotten Aura* // ZeRo BaSs]

I love this...

...it sounds perfect for a fast paced shooter game, but It's also great to listen to without any gameplay...I love the beat, the sounds, everything shines with perfection and polish (ok, the intro sounded a bit lame the first time, but I didn't know what to expect)...the instruments go perfectly without overshadowing themselves...overall a solid 5/5 10/10, great stuff man, keep it up :)

ZeRo-BaSs responds:

Thank you Bobox!

[Sapphire Tears]

uuuu nice...

...first of all I like the name of the song as it fits perfectly, again as in your other work "If I had Lungs" the main melody is simple but I love the way you expand it further, the song doesn't get repetitive...

PROS:
Excellent flow and choice of sounds and effects, loved the part with the piano solo, rhythm is good for this kind of music.

CONS:
The sound used after the piano part at 2:30 is a bit too high, you could have done it better, and the track could use a better ending, but that is not a major flaw.

OVERALL:
Great stuff, I liked it and as I said in my other review if this is a solo project then it deserves a perfect score, but this one is actually better than that other track, so in whole honesty I can safely say that It deserves a high spot here on Newgrounds, It's that good, no major flaws, the song is what it is, there are better tracks than this but I like it the way it is, keep it up ;-) ...everything can be unique in one way or another so there can never be the ultimate so I give it 5/5 10/10

merlin responds:

Thanks for the input, Bobox! Yeah, my music is all solo project of mine. I don't know a whole lot about anything other than just the composition of the music, so I tend to bumble my way around the EQing and Mastering. What a great way to start off my day by reading such nice words from a complete stranger! It's people like you that keep my hands on the piano!
