Insanimation's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Surreal Emotions]

Simple but effective.

As almost everyone has said before me, it's very repetitive, but I think the simplicity gives it a nice edge, and I could easily see it being used in a game, because, even though it is a loop, it doesn't get boring.

The ending seemed like a bit of a letdown. You just ended it without any thought. In my opinion, a whole song should build up to the end, and this didn't at all..

[Hardcore Demo]

Quite good

This really isn't my style, but I appreciate that you've done it well.

There's a nice beat, and the instruments, if you call them that, fit together really well.

The only thing I'll say is that at the start all the instruments come in one by one. You should try to be more original with your start.

The end was a bit of a letdown too. Fading out is done too often, and it sounds boring.

Well if you don't like music that adds one layer at a time, then do NOT listen to Zdarlight by Digitalism (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ePfI kGqHCQ). It actually an awesome song, but that songs adds one layer at a time.

[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.

[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.

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 ;)

[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.

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.
