FatKidWitAJetPak's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Nav - Terran (Mastered)]

Oh hello Nav.

I thought it was pretty cool. The first part of the song started out kind of slow and boring, but then it got better. You should of started the song out a little faster to get peoples attention. It was very original, and I liked the beat that came in. But, after 1:30, the song got way too generic. It was just a beat without any other instruments or synht besides some in the background that you can barely hear. Try to add some different instruments. Keep it up!

Nav responds:

K, the beginning just sets the scene with some ambience... I would think you could appreciate that, as an ambient artist.

Considering this music is designed for club play, starting fast would be a horrible move. The trick is that the dj plays the ambient intro over another track, so he can make a smooth transition.

After 1:30, there was a drum line and a reese... drum and bass. With drums, and bass. Minimal background, just drums... and bass. Try to imagine hearing this in a club setting. Drum and bass really isn't meant to be casually listened to, but it's supposed to carry energy.

Also, I think you need to turn your volume up a bit more... I'm sure that the background elements were noticeable, even if they were minimal.

Thanks for reviewing!

[Hooked On Classical]

no...

Look, combining pre-set loops from major songs doesn't make a song great. It was sort of original, but people aren't going to like it. Try playing a tune from a major film if you want to get regonition.

MusicMan01 responds:

So the only songs that are interesting are covers? I appreciate your critique of the song, but find it hard to believe a cover of a song from a major film is anything special. I prefer to tread on new ground rather than revisiting what has already been done.

[[MS] - Dusky Dawn]

Pretty funky.

I loved how the tempo slowed down to a nice groovy beat after it speed up. Would be freaking hard to dance to, but it was a good jazzy tune to listen to from my computer. I liked the combination of instruments you choose for each different beat. It wasn't repetitive at all, except the main beat. (Which is good) good title too. Some of the instruments were out of tune, but it went well with the groovyness. Liked 1:45 the best. I see you worked hard on this song, if only people could appreciate this more. Most hopefully will, except for those immature people who hate this sort of stuff. DAMN THEM TO HELL! Lol, keep up this awesome work! I hope this gets front paged.

MackerelSalad responds:

well, actually the whole track remains about the same tempo, and i would rather sit and relax to this, than dance to it. thanks for the compliments man! 1:45 is one of my favorite parts too. Yeah, I kinda worked really hard on this track. I mean, doing this shit all by yourself, from scratch is kinda hard yes. I'm glad you do appreciate it :)

[Day of the Tentacle Cover]

Oh boy...

I am giving you a 4 for being able to remake this song, but playing music from games that have already been made before, isn't very original. And the byte sounds are annoying to just listen to. If you want to remake the song, then add real instruments like guitars, pianos, and some synths here and there instead of that annoying byte sound. Hope it works out for you. Good job for making this though.

bitium-ribbon responds:

Thanks, I think...

But, um... I have to ask why you bothered putting that in a review of a "Video Game" song to begin with. There's a reason the category exists, and that's so fans like me can mix up songs like this (and the dozen or so others I've cooked up) in tribute. If I wanted to be original, I wouldn't make a "Video Game" song to begin with, now would I?

Thanks anyway.

EDIT: Sorry, to your other commentary. The instruments I use are tried and true. Most of the sounds you heard *were* guitar samples - in fact, that annoying byte sound you're referring to is one of them. Perhaps your speaker quality is giving you a problem distinguishing it. Piano wouldn't have worked well either. But I'll keep your suggestions in mind.

[Faster!]

Cool.

I liked it at first, but then the high pitch squeel synth came in. Simple choose a different synth in place of that one. It was a good tune, but that synth ruined everything. Also, you should change things a bit around 48 seconds.

Laikros responds:

Eeek, the high-pitchedness ruined the song ><
I'll get to work on a new one then D:

-Thank you :3

[Silly little song]

POO.

Heh... rigggghhhhttt.... It was pretty cool!

Look, you obviously stole this song. Please, don;t steal songs. If you are going to submit songs to the audio portal, read the review and guidlines first.

You claimed this as yours by posting it, and mentioning you making it in the authors comments.

Try harder, and compose a song of your own.

mgear responds:

Deleted my old response, came up with something better. Reeaaddy?

Nope. Not stolen, You have ears which may be deceiving you. Even then, if you still believe it is stolen, link me the other song?

[Rusted Robot Tragedy]

WAY to edgy;

Turn down the edgyness man, it hurt my ears! Do that, and the song would be pretty cool.

dejota responds:

fatkid, one solution remains on your end, and that would be to turn down the volume on your speakers. Second, just tell me where the "edgyness" knob is, and I'll be sure to crank it down for you, bud.

[_-={The Deads Witness}=-_]

Good as always!

Great job on submitting so many great songs man! This was pretty cool. I liked the YAH! vocals coming in at the right time. It was really epic music, would be great for a game. Actually.. it would be PERFECT for a game.

Great job! Keep up the good work.

MaestroRage responds:

It was in fact made for a game :D! I'm glad you felt it would be good for one. This specific one was made for the intro, which is why it also loops!

Thanks for the review, i'm glad you liked it!

[Kriz: Fluctuations 2]

MY 500TH REVIEW!!!

Well, i searched carefully for the right song, and i sure did find it. This is going to be my 500th Audio Review on Newgrounds.com!!! So here i go... *AHEM*

It started out good, and ended good. i loved the heavy sounding beats you used in sync with the master synths and fast beat in the background. I liked the way you turned up the volume, and turned it down on some parts of the song. it made me want to get up and start dancing like CRAZY!!! I am downloading this to my Ipod because it is so freaking aweosme. I liked the cheering you put in the background, it made the song Epic. The edgy synths you used worked very well. It really put me in a trance alright! Good job for making such an aweosme song, I wish i were as good as you were. I see you even managed to get it in a game. YEAH! I am playing that to see how the game uses your song.

TO ANYBODY READIN THIS REVIEW: I recommend seeing this song strongly, you have to be some goth to not enjoy this! Lol. I think this song deserves a score of 4.95. Just because it COULD have some harmony violins inserted somewhere in it, but that would be overdoing it.

Sa anyway, I am adding this song to my favs, downloading it, voting 5/5 10/10, and adding the artist to my favs because this is my 500 th review and the song goes as epicly as this review goes on Newgrounds. THIS WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY! Well... maybe the song anyway.

Great Job Kr1z!!! KEEP UP THE FANTASTIC, SUPERNATURAL WORK!

Uh-oh... I am running out of charecters to type... what am I goign to do? I can't stop typing because I have to make this review as long as possible. It is also fun to type to the beat of the song, which is why it make speople want to dance. The beat is PERFECT along with the synths that go along with the beat.

I showed this to a lot of my freinds and they enjoyted it as well. They downloaded it to their ipos. This would go great with a fast paced game or something.

In other words, I could type about 5000 words in this review, because the song makes me so freaking active.

KEEP MAKING SONGS!!!

[Techno-Guitar-thing]

It was a thingy alright.

It was pretty cool, but a little bit to High in tune. I thought the way you plugged in the pre-set loops was pretty cool. But then it all smashed together and I had to turn it off... Sorry man, I didn't like it. Nice effort, you just messed up in making the song.

RadioactiveRhino responds:

Ok, just for the record, I DID NOT USE ANY PRESET LOOPS WHATSOEVER. I USED PRESET INSTRUMENTS, YES, BUT ZERO LOOPS, PRESET OR CUSTOM MADE, WERE USED.
But yes, it is messed up :P
