Special-Ed's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Redemption (Schrank RMX)]

I don't know... This seems pretty typical and doesn't bring anything new to my ears.

wandschrank responds:

I'm sorry there was nothing new for you to discover in this song. ;) Personally, I think I've experimented with different sounds quite a lot, and considering this is a remix of a techno track, I'm content with the outcome.

[The Mystic Forest]

...THE HELL?!

How long have I been here?! I start playing this song then next thing I know it's sundown... XD

Really good ambiance to it, and well chosen sounds. If it jumped into an 'intense' pace near the end it would sound just like a movie score.

AshleyAlyse responds:

That's an interesting idea! I might make this longer someday. :) Hahaha, I'm glad you listened to it for so long. XD Thank you for the review~! :D

[Love is like an ocean]

*[]*~>

that... was good.... @_@
I kind of found myself hungry for more advanced sounds, but the melody was done very well, and kept fresh throughout the whole song. If you find yourself stuck trying to make a more intense moment, try key change up, and tempo up by like 10bpm. I really want to hear with lyrics!

lantaren responds:

of course you do :) this is the basic version of it. I have a much more complicated sounding one that I'll re-upload soon.

[Voice Acting Demo Reel 2011]

Take it slower ~_~

If you love it, don't give up, but if you try to jump out of the tree too early you'll crash to the ground. Try voices other than stereotypes, which tend to offend people. Things like a goofy, serious, shy, etc. Voices with character and not just race... maybe find a cartoon script online and try acting that out.

I don't know if you've looked into it yet (or your parents) but get voice acting lessons, whether anyone thinks you need them or not, and get them SOON.

good luck

Atlas responds:

Yeah I needed to show off my voice for this part in an animation so I quickly threw this together. Thanks for the advice but I think voice acting lessons aren't what I will do. I will most likely just practice over and over and over.

[Hang The DJ]

not bad

had me tapping my foot and bobbing my head!
anyone else get 0 bombed?

AtomFart responds:

Yeah, we did. But hey, we're not in it for the ratings. As long as we have people who dig our stuff its all cool.

Thanks for the support everyone!

[Fly Sky High - Balderdact]

ouch

well, I always believed that people had to start at the bottom and work their way up. This song was a very painful punch in the face ~_~. I rated as a song, not a first song. I found it lacked a certain amount of variation, or "landmarks". Very melodic sound that works well with techno.

Are you taking lessons, or figuring it out on your own?(lessons would certainly explain how this song is possible!) I'm in an art school in Vancouver, and this song is better than some of the audio students'!

balderdact responds:

nope ive been figuring out everything by myself hahaha

[- Sky of Darkness -]

ok!

That was cool, you got the drums right it seems, the other sounds not so much! By the sound of it, you had attack time up a little and release time all the way down, so we get a distracting cut after each note. I'd suggest either giving it some release time, or taking away the attack time. I hope you know what I'm talking about, or rather I assume you do. Also, try adding in one more instrument, or I guess call it channel. But make it something 'sine'-ish, quiet, and faster paced, moving freely from treble to bass.

I know how it feels to not get reviews, hang in there!

G4M3RL0RD responds:

Thanks man, I appreciate it, I'll take that into consideration. I'm a percussionist in real life, so I can understand how the drums are the best. XD

[My Inspiration]

nice!

man that's good.

there's only one thing that I thought it could use, and now I really want to to hear it with; the first bar that the strings come in, i don't know what notes these are so I can't be specific, but the third chord, if you went down instead of up just for the first time, I don't know why but I feel like that would add to the intro.

that was a long sentence, I've been up for a over 24 hours, and this is the first and last few minutes of free time I have, I'm glad I spent it listening to this, but if you can make any sense of what I'm saying then I'd love to hear a version with what I'm talking about in the opening part I mentioned.

man I'm reading this and it sounds so weird but I can't think what would be a better way to type, even though I'm usually more tidy and proper with my words and such when reviewing on Newgrounds.

gah, I'm going to stop making it worse...
quite appropriately named right now,

xDSxGabo responds:

LOL! that was just amazing!

And btw Thanks for the review bro!

[The Seven Winds of Desolation]

lol

Made me jump, sounded like the yells were coming from behind me... ~_~
I clicked on this one wondering what bluegrass sounded like.

The screams should be a little more muffled. Should someone want to use this in a flash (I could see it) the screams shouldn't sound like they're part of the scene.

godset responds:

Haha thanks.. I was trying to make the worst song i possibly could so this took me about 8 minutes.

[Short Hairy Pianist]

I can't help be feel a connection to this song!

it's nice! Can you play it? I know it's a lot of trouble, but you should try and get a recording of it, it will always sound better. This song COULD have a lot of feeling, which you just won't get with FL Keys..!

I don't know if this is a good thing, but it sounds like it should be BG music in The Sims.

+*. Special Ed .*+

sterchulius responds:

thanks. I never was much of a piano player, unfortunately. FL keys is about the closest i'm gonna get.
