[Rig - Second To None]

lol

So you just decided to shit out a song? Fuck you. This is awesome! I hate your talent! lol.

Rocking bass, solid drums, awesome sounds. There's nothing wrong with this track, it rocks all around. I hope your kidding about having done this all in one day, it's just too much, too good, too spectacular.

Really, if you did do this all in one day, then stop. Stop making music. You've achieved your paragon, your apex, your zenith. You can only go down from here. Believe me, it's a long steep hill downwards and the only thing waiting for you is pavement. Evil dirty pavement that infects you when you scrape your knees. Not that good soft pavement that spoiled your child hood. This shit is rough, jagged like the teeth of a lion man. You have no fucking idea.

Seriously though, your incredible.

Rig responds:

Awww...thanks for your fawning. Yes, I did write this song today. Actually, it took about 4 hours :P
You're right. I'll never do better than this. I'LL QUIT :'(

[{GBD} Cascade (pt1)]

Nice.

Hmm, interesting sound. The intro was really strange and creepy. I felt like it constantly rising, which was a new sensation for me. I love getting new vibes from new sounds. Love it.

The drums were kind of bizarre to me. I didn't really find them to be too dnb. I think they were more industrial that anything else, maybe hardcore, but I wouldn't say dnb. Regardless, it was really cool. This is a really dark track. There was one thing that threw me off, and it happened twice in the track. It happens 3 seconds into the song and at around 12. The volume gets a little strange. That's it though.

Good stuff man. Really experimental and fresh. Rock on.

DoobyTimePiece responds:

thank you q masta. its nice to get some fresh advice as well.

[Crazy Sax]

sassy.

I've heard a few people incorporate sax recordings they did in a few submissions, but this is the first really good sax solo I've heard here. I'm really inspired by this. Good job man. Really good.

TheLobsterman responds:

Im glad I inspired you :D, you should make a trumpet solo

[Deep In It]

Rawr!

Getting good sounding synthetic guitars is a hard thing to do. I used to make rock tracks that utilized garage bands synth guitars, but I kind of stopped because it was just too hard to get them to sound right (though in my own defense I felt I was really close to nailing it.)

My offer still stands. If you want any help with garage band, just send me a pm, or contact me through AIM. Trust me, I have a lot of experience with the program and there's a lot I can help you with.

[p4c-sines of the past v2]

great stuff!

Beautiful man, really. I haven't listened to your work in a long time, and I'm starting to wonder why. This is simply gorgeous.

I love that beeping 4/4th thingy. Very relaxing. Very calm. Those sweeping pads are very cool and breezy. The drums work. I guess it's not easy to construct a snare out of just sine waves, but I really wouldn't know because I don't have an audio program that allows me to get into such depth with the instruments. If there was anything that I would recommend working on some more, it would be the drums, but I guess there's another version of this song I can go back and listen tom, right :P

p4c responds:

hehe yeah the snare was such a bitch, ill try to work on it later. its jst really really distorted :DD personally i like the other one better tho :)

if i start getting more stuff out ill be sure to tell ya, thx for the rev!

[Cradle - Bleeding Orange]

Rawr!

Well, the mix didn't sound EQ'd right, but the elements in this piece that took place were in my humble opinion quite awesome. The drums were neat, gritty, and original. Those interjecting claps really slice up the rhythm, good stuff.

The synths wern't the best sounding instruments, but I think they got the job done. I'd say work on making better sounding instruments. Other than that, this track is ace. Rock on man, rock on.

[The Newgrounds Jingle]

lol, funny.

Well, it's not using samples :D so good job there. Just letting you know though that you can create original stuff in garage band without using a mic to record outside noises. There are built in midi creation devices, musical typing options and plenty of preset instruments you can tool around with to create your music with but you might all ready know all that. If you need any help with garage band let me know. I use it too :P

The song itself is pretty funny, reminds me of that episode of Harry Potter Puppet pals where everyone sings their own name. Or several tracks I've heared here on newgrounds... or the song I made for my final art crit last semester... well, the idea isn't new or original, but I'm just happy that you went right to work on a track that didn't utilize any samples after I asked you to do so. Good job man, I hope to see more out of you sometime. (Hell, this submission makes me want to upload that track I made for class, lol.)

TheLobsterman responds:

haha thats exactly what inspired me

[SpK*) - Power]

rawr

Well, I was expecting more after that sick intro. I felt like the mix was a little tooo bassy which is hard to do with a genre that's so dependent on the bass. Hmm. I felt like the actual song was alright, just need to get that EQ right with it all. Silly voice sample, I approve of that. Voice samples are always a lot of fun.

Drums: Bass drum could be a little wider (don't really know how to describe the vibe I mean). Snare could sound a little crisper. Nice rhythms though. Really. I liked those classic dnb snare fills.

I think this is a song that needs to be listened to several times before it's truly appreciated as a work of art. I let it loop several times while I was typing this up. It grew on me a little, but really you should master it a bit better because it sounds a little sloppy as is. Great job though! Definatly doesn't deserve the 2.16 >:c

[Rig - Civilization Loop]

meow!

Well, the bass sounded fine to me through my headphones, and it came through great on my shit lap top speakers. Really everything sounds fucking awesome. Pads are great, drums are ace. I wish I could hear that one synth melody in the back more. The thought of whatever it is that's playing back there is really itching my brain.

I can't wait to hear where this goes. I really love it man.

Rig responds:

Thanks, man! I'm still figuring out how the thing will progress from here, haha.

[Rig - Progress]

Hey you jerk face!

This song sucks eggs and it is bad! I h8 joo.

But seriously it's fucking great man! I let this thing loop a few times while doing some stuff. Solid sounds, really ambient. Ahhh, so sexy :D
