Insanimation's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Everything *Remastered*]

Not as good as the original.

This sounds really nice, but I can't tell if this is because of what you've done, or just because the original was good..

I liked the beat here, and the vocals were nice. I actually liked quite a lot of it..

Hmm..I just listened to the other song, and, sorry, but I prefer that one. I don't think that slowing it down worked..

You still produced a good result, so I won't dock too many points..

[Horatio Shades]

Peculiar..

I thought it was gonna be a really nice track, but then you brought in that fast guitar which completely contrasted with the slow drums and bass.

However it got a bit slower after that, and sounded really great, until it suddenly ended, which didn't sound great..

There was a bit too much cymbal work going on, but that didn't spoil it.

Sawdust responds:

Yeah, I agree with you there, I'll make the right adjustments some time.

[Preludes of Mélancolique]

Quite nice.

To me, it doesn't really evoke the right emotion in me. Melancholy is about sadness, but this felt more like frustration to me. However, it was still a nice listen.

I felt there was a bit too much going on. If you're going for melancholy, it needs to be kept simple and slow.

I like the piano though, and it clear you have talent.

The ending was quite nice, but I feel there was a note missing at the end. It would have been better if you had put one single low note at the end.

[Prautotype - Handz Up (Teaser)]

Ugh

I just found this annoying. It was like someone was screaming into my ears through some synthesizer for almost 3 minutes.

Maybe its just not my style. In my opinion, the beat was dull, and some points felt like an air raid siren, which is not a good thing.

The ending almost felt like you gave up as well, and the drum hit felt completely out of place.

Please try harder. Much harder.

agnryfaic responds:

Maybe that's just a matter of opinion.
The synth was meant to sound like an air siren tbh :P

Also, it's a work in progress, which explains the sudden end.

Thanks for the review though ;)

[In A Daze]

Enjoyable

It had a really nice beat, and the hi-hats really carried the song.

Normally, I'm not a big fan of just bringing in an instrument, then after a few bars, bring in another, but this time, it worked. Maybe this was because you started off with the loudest instrument, I'm not really sure.

One thing that bothered me was the ending. It essentially just cut off. This would be OK if it was a loop, but it wasn't, and it didn't work.

I think this would work well in a game, , and I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up in one

[Artistic Rendition of Insanity]

Great!

It certainly depicts "Insanity" very well, whilst remaining methodical, so creating a nice song.

I love the beat at the start and how the main tracks just jump in at 00:14. It certainly sounds like dial-up too, with the great beeps and whirls.

I just feel that it's kinda building up all the time, and to let it fade out at the end is a bit lazy and dull. You could have done a nice crash and debris when it reached the peak or something..

[Lunar Impact Crater]

Bad mixing..

Well, it was well written, but the mixing could have been better.

It started off nicely, with the single guitar, but the introduction of the bass kinda ruined it. It completely drowned out the guitar, so you should have either made the guitar louder, or the bass quieter. Personally, I'd have made the guitar louder, but that's because I like loud guitars..

The ending seemed a bit rushed, and it might have been good with a fade out.

Around 1:25, everything kinda just piled on top of each other, and it didn't really feel right at all..

[Day of Trance (Day 1)]

Not catchy enough.

It started quite well, with the heavy drum making an impressive entrance, but, from then on, it just all went downhill.

You introduced the instruments very methodically, which is a common thing to do. just a few bars with one instrument, then bring in the next one, then add the next one, etc. etc. Try to come up with new ways to bring in your instruments.

Your main instrument (whatever it was) felt out of place. It didn't really seem to have a purpose, meaning that the song felt boring and kinda pointless. It would have been fine if you had used that in the background, but had a keyboard or something to keep it going along smoothly.

Anyway, it's a good start, but it can be improved on.

jxl180 responds:

Thank you. I kind of hit a wall while making it but didnt really want to completely scrap it.

[International Accent Showcase]

Cool

Although some accents were a bit off the mark. The Irish in particular. I grew up in Ireland, and although it is the accent that most non-Irish actors do, it's not an accurate one...the Scottish is a bit off too; it's a bit too weak for my liking....

But overall, it's a good demo...

Ninjkabat responds:

Well, darn, you caught me. It's true: I didn't grow up in Ireland or Scottland, so those accents are based a little on characatures (even though I have relatives who grew up in the shadow of The Rock of Cashel). Listening to it again, I agree, I really sucked that day. There are quite a few of the accents that I would do over if I got the chance.

I mean, the only way to get that chance would be to do the whole project over, and I may one day. But for now, I'm just glad you thought it was a good demo.
