jiggitysmith's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pirate Adventure]

I'm always down for some good orchestral. You get marks for repeating too much instead of adding more variation / having a better conclusion. About half way through I had to come back to this window and check if this wasn't a loop. Otherwise, quite enjoyable and the melody is pretty sound. Cheers.

lacifer responds:

Thanx for the feedback!
I agree with you... I got to break the habit of just making a hundred short "songs".. instead of develop them further.. :-) ...

Hey glad to see you're still alive!

I'm giving a generous rating because they don't really matter. Not my favorite of yours but it sounds like you're getting bored now that you've mastered every style in music composition and are going balls-out minimalism.

Hope you're doing well with your bands. I'll be checking out those tracks in a bit. Personally I've been knee deep in cats again. I might want to use some of your music in my current project, but don't quote me on that.

spamwangler responds:

how goes it sir jig? ill agree with you thats this ones a bit on the dull side, the tracks actually about 2 years old (im a bit too busy to do me own stuff at the mo

[Can't Fight The Feeling [7000]]

It's okay

Sounds like a good rough draft of a decent beat. It sounds like it goes out of beat near the beginning a few times and sporadically throughout.

I absolutely hate when people take singing tracks and up the pitch to chipmunk levels (Especially in this case where it sounds like it hurts the track more than helps). If you got rid of the vocals it and cleaned it up, then it would be pretty sweet.

Sirhc7000 responds:

Hmm I dont really agree with the part about the "chipmunk" thing you said, but if thats ur opinion and I do respect that. I also appreciate the review.

..and yea there are a couple times where it's like a millie millie millisecond off beat.

Thx.

[Cayur - Dead Letters]

Pretty good

But did anyone else notice that the guitar riff is like the same as the intro to M.A.S.H. ? I kept expecting it to continue and do the whole theme. Anywho, it works for what it is.

sculpted-cold responds:

No it's not... Completely different key and it's not arpeggiated.

[how long how long]

Haha oh wow

I thought this was just some generic tune you made but at 1:25 it sounds effing great and then even better at 2:01.

spamwangler responds:

cheers dude, i will hopefully start doing something a bit more cheerful soon

[Piano in the darkness (Loop)]

Nice

Personally I would add the tiniest bit of a delay effect on the whole thing. Overall this would be excellent in any sad scene, HOWEVER!

I had this on while I was watching some youtube video of some kid on a modified powerwheels and the contrasting elements of this song and that scene really made for an eerie combination.

Epic-Synther responds:

Thx for your review ^^

[.:-{Denial}-:.]

Nifty

I wouldn't call it denial as it has somewhat of an uplifting overtone to it. All in all a great piano piece (apart from the ending). I think maybe having the top notes trickle out in 3's (best way I can describe it without demonstrating) would help end it better instead of a quick fade.

Tamadrum responds:

K. thanks for the advice, I'll have to try that... :)

[war is here]

I am so envious

The production value of your music is always incredible. It's so professional yet it doesn't deviate from your creativity (as if you went to a studio and had it professionally recorded, edited, but didn't follow any of their 'suggestions' to make it sound like everything else that's selling). That and the melodies are always great.

I dig the phasered drums around 0:23 (sounds like something I would do).
After I get this massive project I'm currently working on out of the way, I'm going to make my next animation (hopefully) feature your music exclusively to get your name out some more because you seriously are my favorite musician in general.

spamwangler responds:

that would be awsome:) thanka dude.

i dont have any internet at my house at the moment, but i should do some time soon, if you want any custom tunes done, give me a pm!

[A Twist Of Lemon In My Eye]

Nice!

Starting at about 1:24 to the end = epic credit music that I intend on using sometime in the future (maybe soon I dunno).

spamwangler responds:

cool! i look forward to hearing it.

if you want it altered in any way, speed, lengths, sound

let me know!

[messpionage]

Nifty

Oh man I love this shit where the music 'goes where it's not supposed to' but executes it well (that's how I exclusively used to write music when I smoked a lot of herb - you all haven't heard much of that yet).

Anywho keep writing and btw, I haven't had time to write anything lately (and everything I've fiddled with was ho hum) but I still fully intend to do a collab song in the future.

spamwangler responds:

cool, ive just been listening to your recent submissions and i sure am up for a collab.
ive spent the last two weeks of my spare dragging musical equipment up and down a hill thats only a few degrees shy of being a cliff, so i haven't been too productive niether
