Libby-Shimmz's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Bodhrán Duel]

That was dope as hell gurl! How long did it take to compose and/or record this? You have quite the passion in this piece. I'mma download this for future use. :p

5/5 10/10

Troisnyx responds:

Composing didn't take a while. Recording did, in that there was a long break between Frootza's take (which was in November) and mine (which was in January). I needed to listen to this a few times so as to get into the groove, and Frootza had already told me he was doing a 90 BPM groove, so I thought I'd follow suit.

My playing was done in one single take. Although admittedly, I sometimes feel embarrassed about the slips -- but many have told me these make the piece human.

Thanks -- glad you enjoyed it!

[Emergency Level D (Redone)]

Nice! This sounds like it could be used in the Timesplitters franchise. The synths throughout are exquisite. The guitar adds much to the shoot-em-up action of this piece. Your snare drums sound as if they are clipping though.

The loop points are nice as well.

Overall, I'd like to hear more from you. You seem like you know what you're dong when it comes to this style of aural action.

4/5 8/10

[カバー曲 MIDI＃5 デモ]

This is cool. I love the overall lo-fi sound. The title is bonkers, but I love the way you handle the track.

[Greensong]

This almost sounds like a minimal house loop. I like it.

7/10

Kokkobello responds:

Thanks!

[Dreams]

Your samples are on point, but your drums need more work. That clap sounds awful over this dope sample. Have you ever messed around with breakbeat manipulation? I think some layered hi-hats, bass drums (808 included) and a quality snare would make this better.

If youi'd like, PM me for production tips. It might take me a few days to get back to you, but I'll help you out. :)

[AxEL - Elastic [clip]]

Man, that bass is sooooo good. Why is it only a clip? Is the full track on your Soundcloud? I'mma look soon. This reminds me of Rusko in a way.

4 stars for the shortness. :p

AxELdub responds:

This song is actually still being worked on, full track will be available soon on the soundcloud.

[One Unity]

I really wish Newgrounds had a Jungle sub-category. This would fit there oh so nicely. That bass is ear-gasmic. I love the chops you made to the breakbeat though it could use more variation. The sitar adds a nice Indian vibe to the track while the keyboard samples and vocal samples keep the whole firmly rooted in the Jungle sound.

What'd you use to make the pluck-type sound at 1:13?

A great Jungle track Waidmann. Keep it up bruv!

5/5 10/10

[Crazy Jump]

I love the intro. After the first 20 seconds though the piano needs some velocity edits to humanize it a bit. The bass and synths after the 1:00 mark are nicely formulated. Your bass drum is nicely mixed. The snare could be just a couple decibels louder, but all in all this track was awesome all around.

8/10

[Synth Skies]

That Sine wave at around 0:05 is dope as hell. What'd you use to generate it? I like the sounds in this, but it needs to be fleshed out some more. It's far too short for its own good. That dub-influenced piano lick is cool.

All in all this gets a 7/10.

[The Desert]

Man, I love your sample usage. The guitar that shows up halfway through is awesome. Is that a flute underneath the drums at around 0:45? I'm not really feeling the beat until the dialogue sample shows up, but your synths are on point. I really dig the last minute and a half though. The glockenspiel (Am I correct in this presumption?) at the end is cool. I would have used it throughout the track instead of only at the end, but to each their own.

I would love it if I could download this. :p

EdKempeper responds:

Hi ! (sorry for my poor english and this late answer ). Thanks for your comment ! Most of the samples is from a video called "Indian prophecy" or something like that. You're right, there's a native flute taken from Universal Soundbank. And for the glockenspiel i think it's from "Harmless" synthesizer, a preset called "Music box". Hope this coud help you.
