XJMatt's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dying Soul (Part II)]

Hey not a bad song :)

i could actually feel some emotion...from 1:22 was probably my favaurite piece whan the light synth kicks in. Has that feeling of someone trying to hold on.

Nice touch ^^

the drums could have been a little heavier to coincide with the pads which do seem to overpower the song. but hey not a bad mix!

thanks for your reviews on my songs! as promised i'm voting a 9 and saying that this is a good piece!

keep it up ^^

scorpinox responds:

Cool! I'm glad you liked it. I tried to make the drums and synth bass as loud as I could, but it still wouldn't pull through. Damn.

[Weemeee-HARDCORE BABY-eeemeeW]

good god this is evil! muhahahaha

Hardcore....well no sh**! hehe, not a bad piece. Dark and almost..well it is EVIL! but a good track!

check out my intialize! track that was the closest i could get to Hardcore :P

nice one!

weemeee responds:

Ty for the review XD

[Technical Breakdown]

another good piece :3

Now this has depth to it, good use of panning and phaser effects. all fits in with the beat nicely underlaying the trippy synth and beeps.

like it! :3

[Flying in my thoughts]

catchy :3

Me again :D

This is good, i like the pads and the strange sounds..but thats just me i don't mind weirdness and spacey sounds :). i had a read of some of the other reviews and i see what they mean by transitions, overall adding a change in tune for a break or rest is a good trait. see a few of my tracks for that example :).

This one gets my vote and download, keep going and mixing you will get better ^^

amilicious responds:

I will keep trying, thanks for the review.

[Drumsketch]

Drums! i like it ^^

thanks for your review on my Tetris track :3 i promised I'd comment back :D.

this is quite good, got a jungle feel to it, simple and nicely layed out, minimalist and straight to the point. love that guitar piece ^^

Good work :3

*XJMATT*

amilicious responds:

Cool, that was the feel I was going for, thanks!

[* WeEmEeE * Deeper * WeEmEeE *]

not bad :)

i've read the previous comments and well...i do kinda agree to a point. but having said that...its not a bad arrangement and a nice track to listen to. if you can and i know someone's mentioned this before is grab yourself FL studio, probably the best program for more advanced options and making your own stuff as well as tweaking pre made samples :D. overall not a bad track. keep it up cos you gotta start somewhere and i reckon you could do more ^^

*XJMATT*

p.s thanks for your review on one of my works! :D

weemeee responds:

Lol Ty for the review ^^ (p.s i already got fl lol XD)

[Rock Out Mix- Shanghai Paragon]

wow, pretty good :)

nice and clear thats a good trait. i love the re verb effects and fader's., and the string use....i'm not very confident with strings :P i tend to make sound to loud or too quiet.
The composition sounds nicely layed out,calm intro and then the middle hard n strings kick in finishing off with sweet reverb and fade.i see what you mean by clarity which shows in this track....i'm working on equalizing my stuff to sound better ^^

as always another good track :) and thanks for your review :)

*XJMATT*

itsameyayo responds:

Wow! Thanks man! Clarity if a tough thing to do, but it comes with time and asking a lot of questions to people who know how to mix music. I used to suck really bad at mixing, but I've gotten better, not to say that I perfected it already :P

-Thanks for the review and 5!

[Earth Worm Jim Remix]

earthworm jim...old skool!

i remember this game quite well, the humour and fun i had playing it ^^

This has got to be the weirdest remix i've heard of the 1st level music,nice synth use. weirdness sometimes a makes a track what it is :D you should check out mine and listen to few:)

Nice work on yer tracks you have so far, keep going and make more :)

*XJMATT*

p.s *also uses fl7 :P*

Exodeity responds:

Ha, nice to see another FL user, im workin on a mix from the koopa battle in SMW2, i love that song so much, but It's gonna take a hell long time to make. . so much shit going on, heh, i wish i could collab, but well, free things come with costs ;)

[PhoozlE - The Wasp]

Nice work ^^

This would fit if it got used in a submission a fight scene or something similar. nice and clear which is a plus ^^. although its basic it works and is layed out nicely. a little empty than most drum n bass but hey everyone has their own style :)
keep it up ^^i liked it...downloaded and on my playlists :D

check by my tracks :3

*XJMATT*

phoozle responds:

ty sir!

[TAA--Dueling with Demons]

Its strange....but good ^^

I give this a 9 :) its a strange mix. but it works. the choir and strings give it that video game feel to it, this track belongs on an RPG or something :)Nice work.

Few point outs= the choir and strings do drown out the drums a little,and are a bit high in frequency. need to come down a bit on that. but overall. good flow :)

check out my Dnb Tracks ^^

TheAmateurAnimator responds:

Thanks. I'm beginning to think that I might have categorized this wrong; it does seem to have a distinct video game quality.
