KittenBeat's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-| You |-]

You had me sold at 00:21.
I fell in love somewhere around 01:08.
You took me again when you denied the octave drop at 01:31.
And then the scratching/slicing/beat repeater.


Where have you been my whole life? ;n;

15thDimension responds:

right here, waiting for you. thanks for the review. rhymes.

[Ayluren]

Interesting. The rhythms were a bit awkward. In a good way.
Is that the FL keys plugin? It sounds too good to be FL keys, but it sure sounds like it.

Check my music out too, please. :3

Xsalvaz responds:

It's FL Keys: Set to grand piano and release set to 15, everything else set to the grand piano presets. And the synth is harmless- Popcorn.
Thanks for the review!

0:27- Oh, it's gonna drop. Cool. Wait.. what is he talking about?
0:39- Oh god it's gonna happen. .___.
0:44- -Heart skips a beat.-
0:45- -Cums.- .D.
0:55- -Heart skips a beat again.- Was that an orchestral stab? Holy shit. :D
1:11- Nope. Enough of that. Too much. I'm going to die if I keep listening to this.







Oh, listen to my music too. .D.

KSBeats responds:

Lol

[Love You Too]

You shouldn't need to prove that you're worth something to your friends with victories. :c
But it was really cool. I liked how the sounds sounded hand-made. Some of the melodies felt too internal. Like.. It's hard to explain. There's no science or study-able method to it, just try to imagine the melody in your head before you make it. Or humm a melody while listening to what you already have.
Anyways, decent song. Needs mastering. And by that I mean a really thick compressor over the Master Channel. Preferably a multi-band one. Raise the highs and lows a bit and push the threshold way down. I think you'll notice significant improvement, and also it adds a powerful, professionalish sheen that will quickly uhm.. impress your friends.
Anyways, Thanks for uploading. I'd appreciate if you'd listen/comment on my music as well. :3

SSJ-energy responds:

I was (mostly) joking about the friend thing :P But uh, I kinda wanted it to resemble Rezonate's Pump It! having a kind of punch then a tiny solos after each one. Umm and for the multi-band compression, could you translate that into Garageband speak? Haha, I don't entirely know what I'm doing yet, I just try to make something that sounds good to me. Thank you for the feedback though, I'm off to your page!

[Laugh Hard]

Oh.. I like this. I might have to remix this. :3

[*Take U Out*]

If someone made something like that for me, my panties would drop. Lmao. :3
The drums sound so organic and lovely, too.
I like this vocal style. What preamp are you using?

Poniiboi responds:

Kitten, this IS for you. You didn't get the memo? :) Umm, if you're talkin preamps on drums, I dunno cuz I didn't make this instrumental. If ur talkin about preamps on vocals, I have a Presonus, but the effect you hear is a tape simulation that I used to make the voice "crunch in" with the organic nature of the instrumental cuz the room I record in makes the vocals sound rather flat if they are left naked. I actually liked how they came out too. I'll probably be using that effect a lot more.

[Battle]

Dude. Yes.
A great balance of sounding anxious and still being in the background. This would be a good song for a timed game or a complex boss battle. It would keep me on edge for sure. :P

K-Pone responds:

Thanks for the review. I'd really like to see it in a game someday.

[Radioactive Boy]

Aha. This is the best thing I could ask for. I feel like the vocals weren't quite leveled enough. The vocals could also use a bit more highs maybe. The transients on the drums could be tighter to get around the unsure compressor wiggling around the melodic sounds awkwardly as well.
I visited Chernobyl while I was away, so this is a hilariously timed release. :P

Poniiboi responds:

You're totally right about the vocals; I just couldn't get em to do right this time. LOL

[Stefan KC Preview Dance]

Triplets! Kinda Bass Hunter.
Anyways, This isn't the most original music ever, but if you made an album, I'd buy it. But you should strive to be as original as possible. You definitely sound good enough to do it. Be like Opiou or Haywyre. Create something new.
Assuming you aren't using a soundset like Nexus, these sounds are excellent. They sound so meticulous and delicious.
Then, stick to this for now. :P
