Sebby-man's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Requiem of a Dream (Remix)]

Wow!!!

This song progressed so well. The beat was amazing and you had the perfect selection of notes. I think you should have put it under modern hip-hop or something because of the beat. Your choice though.

There was nothing that I could mark you down on. You definately deserve the score i gave you!

Sorry I can't rate you a 5, because my brother Petwoip already rated all your songs and we use the same computer. Check out my songs if you'd like.

Eric-S responds:

Thank you, Thanks for the kind comment.

And i will check your songs =)

[Spawn28 - Dreams are Reality]

Indeed very relaxing

This is a very relaxing song! I liked the sound effects a lot. This song did have a dream-like quality to it. Good work!

I also hate people who rate my songs 0, so I will rate your song either a four or five. And if you want, check out my stuff!

spawn28 responds:

yea, i vote 5 on any song that would deserve at least a 3 to even out the 0 voters..

[Fear and Anger]

Wow...

Excellent rock song. The instruments were great, and I loved the scratchy guitar part (although I think you could have made the drumming a little better in that part)

Very melodic song. It was really relaxing at some parts especially. Excellent song and congrats with the double-platinum !!

If you want, take a look at my stuff!

[World of Warcraft Song]

I have something to say...

Not only do the vocals go in extremely well with the rest of the song, but this song builds up FANTASTICALLY and is sooo CATCHY. By the way, I was a World of Warcraft player until music making interested me more. GREAT song. Good selection of notes as well.

To sum this song up in four words, I would say "FANTASTICALLY CATCHY and GREAT!"

Yeah, that's it for my review. If you want to, check my stuff out!

Diabolo-ical responds:

Hmm, I like this review. A lot. You should be a reviewer in your future career, heheh! Thanks for the high praise.

[old - The Enemy]

Indeed video gameish

I thought this song was pretty cool. I liked the instruments and how they flowed together. By the way, what program do you use?

I think if you made the diversity better, it would have been even better. Well, good song. If you want, check my stuff out.

cheesemonkeybill responds:

tanx, man! i used fruity loops 5. its really a good program once you get used to it.

[Freak on My Frequency]

I liked this song

I liked the metal part especially. Like Dj_Seri said, this should not be under techno. It is still a great song.

Check out my songs if you would like.

[Jackrabbit Serenade]

Very Diverse

I liked the diversity, but it wasn't all that original. By the way, i noticed that your in that Feel Good Collab. That is an amazing flash collab.

[_Silver_]

Cool, should be Industrial or something

This song I would say is industrial. Cool song... I loved the echos and all that stuff. THe ending was very, very good. This deserves to be on the A-bot list! Check out my stuff if you want.

Ak-17 responds:

Could be! Anyway thanks man :)

[Sleepless Night]

Wow...

This was very cool. The beat was great. I especially liked how the drumming proggressed. I really wished you had expanded it though because it was great. What program is this? FL?

If you want, check out my stuff. My newest song called "Dark Intro" sounds a bit like this.

Lelix responds:

Glad you liked it. Yep, I use FL for all my songs! Composed this one in about an hour or so so its not fully finished yet.

[Nintendo Disco]

Great song!

This song is great! I liked how you put all the different themes together so well.

I know you use Reason, so I have a few questions since I will be getting Reason soon.

1. How much hours does it take you to make a song like this?
2. Do you use a midi keyboard? If so, where did u get it and how much did it cost? What are the benefits of it?
3. How did you learn to use Reason in the first place?

I hope i'm not wasting too much of your time when you could be making songs, but i would greatly appreiate these questions answered.

If anyone else has suggestions or anyhing about Reason, you can email me at [e-mail]

Well, excellent song overall. I give you a 5 + download.

tedJohnston responds:

hey, no problem dude, I'd be glad to answer your questions about Reason!

1 - this song took me about two weeks to make, working about...oh, say one or two hours a day. it all depends on what you're trying to achieve and your level of skill. for example, this song is about 5-minutes, and took me two weeks to make, but my latest song "Forest Lullaby" is 30-seconds long and took me a whole week (working pretty heavily on it each day too) to make!

2 - I currently do not own a MIDI keyboard, but plan on purchasing one very soon. contrary to popular suspicion, I DID NOT SIMPLY IMPORT MIDIS AND APPLY SOUNDFONTS FOR THIS SONG! I drew in EVERY note, by ear.

anyways, I really like drawing in notes for some reason...it just feels more precise for me! MIDI keyboards are better for some chordal things, but really it just comes down to musical styles and preferences.

3 - my favorite band "David Crowder*Band" uses Reason. they're a Christian band, and they were actually one of the first bands to ever bring in Electronic and Ambient backing loops into the Christian music scene. their first studio hit "Illuminate" offered a demo of Reason 2.5 and a couple of Reason files to their songs on the CD...everything pretty much branched off from there! Reason is a really cool program, and most of the up-and-coming Electronic artists are using it; you'd be hard-pressed to find any professionals using Acid or Fruity Loops.

just a little side note about "David Crowder*Band", their latest album "A Collision" hit #2 album on iTunes the first week of release...#2, out of all the albums being sold!

anyways, overall Reason is a really powerful program...a bit more complicated than your usual program, but really fun to learn. check out the Propellerhead site for more: http://www.propellerheads.se/

hope that helps everything! cheers.
