Bafana's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Playing With My Duck Toy]

I won't 0 bomb...

So everyone can see you're taking credit for "Hampenberg - Duck Toy" Released worldwide in about 2002.

What on earth did you need 4 patterns for?

Bassmeisters responds:

Dude - this re-make was just a time killer nothing serious at all! ;) artistic freedom! - but what ever you say!

[Madness X-ation]

It's ok

for what it will be used for, but the synths and drums just sound so dated to me. This could do with a tad more time spent on mastering too.

Andertxuman139 responds:

Well, you can still watch my other Madness stuff and tell me what you think with the others. Anyway, thanks for reviewing

[Busy Ant Remix! DEMO -Dj 992]

Good start...

So many artists on NG put little to no effort into mixing and mashing melodies. Like they think 1 melody is enough for an entire song.

Good to hear some effort going on here. Be sure to continue this when finishing off this track!

TreeDonkey responds:

Thank you very much for your review. I agree, alot of people here go with the bare minimum - 1 melody 1 bassline 1 beat. Sometimes this can sound pretty good though but the song lacks so much depth and dynamic.

My original song did the same thing though, it started with 1 melody, bassline and beat and then kept changing the melody every 16 bars or so. In this remix I took all of those melodies and put them together to see which would fit and which melody would compliment another.

I have actually finished the song now and I'd love to hear your opinion on it.

[[dB] Bad Words (Preview)]

DnB

8/10 Gotta leave some room for the full version. I'd put this is the drum n bass section also.

Bassline is great, but maybe mix up the drums a bit to break up the track.

Decibel responds:

Hahaha, I'm glad you're waiting for the Full Version, It's surely better than this, no doubt.
I don't agree with you on the drum and bass thing though, I see this more as a mix of Hard Electro, hence the bass and Dubstep, hence the other bass :P
I'm not a big fan of this bassline though, the new version is much better, If you want I can PM you with the New Version :)
Cheers!

[DJ Pantheris - Cyber Races]

Videogame music?

This to me sounds like background music on an old school arcade game.

My review would be different if it was in Video Game genre but its in Techno so I have to say this just doesn't work for me. I just can't imagine this in a club or on the radio.

mushu55t responds:

Ah well, I'm working on it, trying to find my style, you know?

[TI:.Lonely Energy]

To be brutally honest...

I don't normally like your music... but...

This is a big step in the right direction for you... in my opinion only of course =)

TIMarbury responds:

haha thanks :) You hate me and it is ok :P

[Like A G6 (Xayro Seversky RMX)]

Haven't heard the original...

But I'm sure you probably make it look bad... This is awesome.

Great mastering!

Xayro responds:

Well, my good sir, you should give the original piece a listen and give it an informed opinion! The original lacks in a lot of areas, especially in the melodic area. I have taken those parts that were lacking and placed them inside of /MY/ Gulfstream 650 Business Jet and flew them around the world, culturing them in the ways of the world, and dropped them back off in LA, where they reformed into this remix.

Ignore the sombrero. We stopped in Mexico and partied more than we probably should have.

[Canon in D{C.D 2010 mix}NG Cut]

Guitar made this track great!

Basically agree with what was said below... but the guitar really stood out to me!

I'm not sure about the voices though... well the robot one at least.

Good work on this!

DjClyme responds:

thanks for the review :)

[Solus- Crystalline (Final)]

This is great...

Can just imagine this coming on after a few thumpers in the club just to chill everyone the hell out for a bit =) Laser show, smoke machines and glow sticks... mmmm I hate being at work ><

SolusLunes responds:

You know, I might just do that.
