Frictional's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Jumper - Purity (2016)]

Outstanding Jumper, out-fucking-standing! :)
I'm starting to really feeling a strong necessity to jump while listening to your track, so wish me joyful jumps and a 50 meters high bedroom! :)

.:FRICTIONAL:.

Jumper responds:

Thank you so much! Just don't forget your helmet. ;)

[The Theory of Chaos (Black Sands)]

Outstanding Mattashi! :)
You did a perfect job on this one!

5/5 <3

.:FRICTIONAL:.

Mattashi responds:

Thanks!

[Never too heavy]

Good track, exept for the fact that this is not heavy, it's still a mainstream dubstep attempt. Just a question: where did you get those "HEY" vocals in the backgrounds? I never realised where I can find them...

.:FRICTIONAL:.

Ravitex responds:

Well, I thought it was heavy and I said what I thought. Found these "HEY" vocals on http://www.looperman.com/

[Happy 8Bit Day 2 u]

Good track, Skullbeats! :)
The drums and the melody fit so well in each other! I have just a question: where did you get these 8bit sounds?

Keep up the good work! :)

.:FRICTIONAL:.

Skullbeatz responds:

Thanks a lot! It's a VST called BIT BOX. It's free, check it out! :)

[Snowflake]

Where's Obama with the fucking medal?!

This is one of the best piano compositions that I have ever had the opportunity to listen, will keep it in my phone forever. Actually, I thought about playing this on piano, but I need the sheet. Can you make one for me? :)

.:FRICTIONAL:.

MaelouX responds:

Almost 1 year to answer I'm so sorry but your message make my heart warm thanks you very much !!! Obama is actually in a plane with the medal :p

[MSS - lith harbor (ZiNiTY mix)]

Good track indeed, you made a really good job on this, BUT! There are some things I want to point out:

- It should have been provided with a better mixing, starting with the correct use of plugins;

- Try to search for some good drum packs on the internet, because it's kinda awful to use the default FL drums (in this track: kick/claps/hat);

.:FRICTIONAL:.

Zinitymusic responds:

Hi brother.
Since this track was produced back in 2011, I had no idea what mixing & mastering was about. I basically did this for experimentation, and for exploring the musical genres.

Glad to hear you liked it anyways!
Would love the see you on my soundcloud, so you can approve my improvement! :-)

Best!
Zinity

[I'll Be Right Back]

Outstanding LSD, out-fucking-standing!! :)
This is one of the best solo instrument tracks I've ever had the pleasure to listen. The melody is so good all the time. Just a question: did you recorded this via MIDI or you composed it directly on the pc with some VSTs?

Keep up the good work man! Best wishes! :)

.:FRICTIONAL:.

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Why thank you, Frictional!
I'm glad to hear that, as the melody is all imprivosed. I played it directly, of course, as otherwise, it would not be an improvisation :p
I just recorded the midi fle though, and the sound that plays this is a piano vst called Piano One. I could've just exported my keyboard's sound directly, but that wouldn't sound as good, which is why I did it this way.

Thanks for the review ;)

[Bradley Spectrum - Endure]

Meh...nothing special, here are the things I want to point out:

- The intro is too much filled up with drums, it should have been more clean and simple;

- The piano melody doesn't match properly the piano chords;

- The melody in the drop sounds way too much different that the one before, in the intro and in the 1st verse;

- The second drop should have been provided with a better sound design, starting with a better use of mixing and (probably) plugins;

Nevertheless, I really enjoyed listening to this track of yours, it's a great track, considering what I'm used to listen here on NG. This provides my review with an extra 1.5 stars.

.:FRICTIONAL:.

Falsesouth responds:

Thanks,

[DJ Neat! - Vandal [Preview]]

REVIEW & TOUGHTS:

- Meh...there's nothing special in this track, it's a common house (big room house, I think). I hear things like that every day both on NG and SC, so this takes away 1 star;

- The mixing is horribile, the fx use to cover the melody and the kick is quite unhearable. This takes away 1.5 stars.

Sorry if I'm harsh, but you definitely have to improve! I hope I made a constructive review.

.:FRICTIONAL:.

GGMiXsiMusic responds:

Thanks for telling me what to improve.
Note: This is only a preview, the full version will be edited.

[DJ-M - Forever Bound Mix (WIP)]

It's sounds quite good, but it's not an original work of yours, and I don't think it's a permitted submission, you'd better to post it on Soundcloud. I asked some help to the Audio Portal Cleanup guys tho.

L-Mity responds:

This track is made by me.. I just Remixed. In FL studio.
