[Adoptio - Mad-n Ire]

awesome

I watched this a while ago but forgot to review it. Unlike a majority of the madness flashes, you actually put effort into it and did a good job. I think that big wall breaking box weapon supply thing was sweet, and the 3d was done nicely. Thanks for using my song in your flash, it fit nicely. :D

[Leave Your Brain Behind]

nice

cool man, just found this today. These kinds of things are what make NG special, I think. I think the intro to my song fit quite nicely, however when the beat kicked in you'd expect some kind of climax. Very nice flash tho man, thx for using my song... can't believe I missed this =/

KidneyThief responds:

Hey man thanks for the review, sorry for the late response but school had me tied up. I see what you mean about the lack in climax, always room for improvement! I always use NG music in my work and never really popular songs. A: because I want my work to stand out and B: because it helps to get good audio artists work out there.

haha

Agreeance with the review below me XD Nah, but seriously dude. You looped the true insanity song. All those other songs including mine, dont even play :S

now they do.

Hmm. I think you need a title screen, so when you lose you go back to the title, rather then having to re-calculate your fps everytime XD. I've never seen a preloader like that, so kudos. As the guy below me said, work on the graphics, etc. The music SUCKED tho.

yea i know it can b really annoying :P

[Circulation (loop)]

Here's a few things I noticed. Your kick drum is stereo, which is bad. Make it mono for better clarity. Your beat is very aggressive, but your normal buzzsaw bass is a bit weak. After it builds up, it just goes nuts. An awful lot of panning going on, which is a nice effect. But with the amount of filtering you have, it gets overwhelming. It's very raw and brutal, and sounds really good. I think the random arp was out of place, and didn't flow with the bassline in my opinion. For what you have here, I'd say its excellent, and would sound great extended and spaced out a bit in a full song. For a loop though, you have too much crammed into such a small timeframe. Overall great job, just maybe look into monotizing your kick drum.

Xtrullor responds:

Thanks for the great review, quite a lot of good points to check out here.
I didn't even notice my bassdrum was that wide! Geez, I'm going to fix that right away. But what to say to the overall panning, I think I honestly got lazy around with that. Same thing with the filtering, even I can say I did't even like it too much anymore.
And to be real honest, this is a forced out piece of random synthblasting I regret mixing into what it is now. I will look up to it, if I have the guts for it of course ;)

Thanks for the good review, again.

[Other thoughts (loop)]

Nice loop. Heavy sidechaining always sounds nice. I think it was a bit too much for house, but groovy nontheless. The chord progression was fairly simple and catchy, although your synths overpowered your percussion a tad. Lowering it a bit would increase the rhythme but would most likely diminsh the power of your synths. A house beat usually has a dominant swing and it wasn't detectable in this loop, so I think work a bit on the percussion-to-synth volume level balance, to get the most out of both.
Overall great loop and it definitily has potential, just needs a bit more polishing.
Peace

Xtrullor responds:

Yes I noticed that. Nice thing someone else did, too, so I'm about to fix it now.
