ForeverBound's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The great dance]

hey,

I'm trying to help you here as much as I can so don't take the things I said as an insult :)

I think this track might be really good for geometry dash, it has a really nice flow. I love it that it just starts a bit slow then it's going fast, then it slows down again and then it goes fast again.

The thing I think you might want to work on a bit are the drum sounds and the mixing of the track. also miss the bass abit.

I miss hihat's, and a good snare. the kick you use is a more rock kick then a video game one.

Tennon responds:

Thx much, but I am not using FL Studio. I am using a program called Overture. It is made for piano music sheets and barely has other instruments. It only has a track called percussion and the percussion misses a lot of real beats. But thank you for the comment anyways! Now I am waiting for somebody to scout me because I can't use my song without being scouted!

ps: I really love your stereo madness and stereo madness 2

[Be You (LoFi Mix)]

Some of the melodie's and chord progressions sound really familiar but that could be just me. The track is awsome. the kick does feels a bit pushed and boosted in the mix. also the hihat's are a bit to much to the background in my opinion. This is defenitly an interresting piece of music you have here and I think you are worthy to be scouted for the NG audio portal ;)

I don't really like the middle part cause of the bass and kick there, I do like the melody's

Keep it going man and you will do really well here ^^

MaxPoly responds:

Thanks for the scout man, appreciate it!

The middle is kind of meh, I agree. The transition to it isn't the greatest either, maybe I'll come back to this one in the future.

[Tropical Swing]

Lovely track man, Keep that happy vibe going.

Adhenoid responds:

Thank you man!!
Such an honor to get Forever Bound commenting on my audio!! :D

[Tim Endew - Exquisite(Tease)]

Sickest bass I've ever heard from you so amazing keep it up :)

D-Chain responds:

Hey thanks foreverbound!

[Insert Track Title Here(ID WiP]

This sounds really interresting would love to hear the full version sometimes :)

You migth want to add some more bass since I feel like it is lacking it a bit.

Keep it going man

[Infinite]

ow boy I'm so disappointed in u right now. Cause I have to press that 5 star button again shame on u :(

nee geintje man lekker track en keep it going :)

AeronMusic responds:

Dankjewel, haha. Na al die pogingen kwam ik terug bij deze die ik je niet had laten horen. :(
Sorry. :P

[Angel 1]

I have to say u have a nice piece of music here but in my opinion it needs to be tweaked here and there. So I hope this review will give u a helping hand but remember that's it's only my opinion most of the time.

The Good:

- kick is promenent and that's good in this genre. it's a nice kick to listen to and to gives this track a lot of drive so good job with that one
- bass: good sounding bass I would say it's even better then the old basses that where used in eurodance.
- piano really nice the piano and adds a lot of depth to this track in my opinion.
- melo: it's catchy it's easily to remember and it sounds good so yeah nice job on that one as well.
- the structure u used in this track is used a lot already, I'm putting this under good cause u used a structure and it prepares the listener to what's comming next. but by creativity of it it lacks a bit since it's used a lot.
- nice translitions nothing to say really just well done.

The Not So Good:
- In my opinion the intro was a little bit to long I would have cut it at 0:40 when the melo is played fully just to give the rest of the track a bit more power when the kick kicks in.
- The break was actually really bad, it was just the same generetic bass as in the rest of the track with the kick, I would say here is the most U could improve since it makes the track pretty repetive.
- as for the second part when the lead starts to kick in, well not a really big problem but I would suggest u add something to make it even better cause it's basicly the same as the 1st part of the track.
- then u have a verry fast translitions to the part where it seems the lead is 1 octave higher I would work on that a bit as well since the translition is good but it feels like the lead kicks in to much forced then it should be.
- also the clap is barly noticable in the whole mix while that's also one of the most import things to keep tracks like this going. U did a great job with the hihat but the clap lacks power.

so to conclude this list I would say that it sounds decent but not really special and when it comes to the break and the second part it starts even to be a bit repetive. As what I would give u as tip is that u add a melo in the break maybe witout the bass and the kick and add in some pads. as when u repeat the whole thing u use that melo ontop of the second time u repeat the melo in the climax. this way u have a fresh sounding break and also a fresh sounding climax.

If u have any questions then please don't hesitate to ask them

TuneDown responds:

Thanks for the review! I'll make sure to take what you have said into mind :)
And yeah, the clap is actually a snare haha. For some reason i found it abit hard to make it stand out :/

[IDubYou!]

Before I start I would like to clarify that I'm not a dubstep lover but this still got my attention.

The Good:

-the vocals for some reason seem to fit really well and is a nice addition to the track
- the drums are clear altough the kick it's self is buried a bit under the bass sounds the snare really gives it a nice vide.
- nice uplifters in the background, not to big but also not to small.
- percs and earcandy is good u add some nice stuff in so now and then.
- mastering: didn't hear any problems there so should be fine

The Not So Good:

- structure: it totaly lacks structure, like ectisity said it sounds like 1 big drop altough u try to add some variations to it but it's still the same kind of instruments playing the same melo over and over again.
- sounds: one of the most promenent bass sounds doesn't sounds so good. It's not a really big filfty sound that I would expect. Even if u want to make it more chill and easy listening like then I would suggest u work on that sound. I would say it's to clean the sound and to high ( doesn't have a lot of bass in it) and maybe add some disortion to it.
- pads: It would be nice to hear some pads in the background to fill up the little spaces a bit u can also use them in the buildup and in the break.

tips: this kinda depends on what u want with your music but I would suggest u put one of your fav artist his track into fl and look at his structure. U can also look and hear really nicely how they make a big rising builup before the dubstep parts kick in.

all in all a decent track that needs some work here and there but I think this will give u a good example of where to work on and where not to worry to much about.

as said in the begining of the review I might think differently cause I'm not that familiar with this genre, neither did I give it a good shot but that's more taste I would guess.

Good luck with your next projects and don't hesitate to ask questions :)

ps: leuk om weer een nederlander hier te zien

PrognoiseBIG responds:

Foreverbound ! Thank you for the time you took to listen and for this review ! Big Thanks & Big Cheer.

What you said is very helpfull and you give me really good advice !
I am going to work at it and i know i am going to suprise you later on in my new projects.

Better say this. V2 on IDUBYOU is commin cause alot of advice i have for this track now.

That Filfty part is a hard part and want to get to know it but it is hard cause it makes the track unclean very fast.

I really apreciate that kind of review ! Really helpfull.
Thanks again !

*^_^* Greets PrognoiseBIG!

ps: nogmaals, bedankt voor je tijd , word zeer gewaardeerd. Je review is echt klasse ! =)

[PotencY - meh]

If u change te saw into a big saw lead that would be awsome. I love your kick, perc's and hihat's. the bass is really nice as well same counts for the melody.

Pretty curious if u are gonna change some stuff or make a full track out of this :)

Mea-Anima responds:

I'm going to start with this very soon I think. Right now I got another project I'm working on and today I made a new track and posted in on newgrounds. It's still a WiP but that's going to get priority over this one too. But I'm definitely going to continue this.

[Searching]

Wow it sounds really cool, keep up the good work and u will become big someday. And u deffo deserve a place in the Audio Portal so I scouted u for the AP :)

mematron responds:
