SinJim's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Milk{Live On}]

Live on

Wow, I just realized that I was listening to this on loop for like 25 mins.

Anyways sweet song, I love the anthem and it's got that sweet kick in the back. I always love me a piano in a song and the arpeggios were nice as well. Overall sick song, 5/5, 10/10.

Thanks.

[Starscape IV]

Starscape

Sweet beat, great synths. It gets a little busy in the middle but I didn't mind. That fast synth at like 1:40 was craaaazy. Anyways, loved the song, 5/5, 10/10.

~SinJim

PS - Holy s*** when that piano came in I freaked out, it was so unexpected, definitely the favorite part of the song. It was a tad distorted though, still loved it.

[Loopmaster - Passive Battle]

Nice Loop

Great one here, although the drums tend to get a bit repetitive, it's still pretty sweet. My favorite part is the bass when it comes in, I wasn't expecting that. Hope it lands in a game man, good luck!

[Nin-4 Theme]

Groovey.

Sick beat you have going. God, I want your drums skills. I really liked the driving bassline you have going. I could really hear someone singing over this (as well as it being just an instrumental). Great job man.

Musical-Pants responds:

Thanks SinJim. Yeah, I did try to find a vocalist, but it fell apart pretty quickly.
Again, this was my first song, so it's always great to have nice things said about it.

[A Walking Daydream]

Daydreamin' along.

Me wants some effects on the drums, and I agree with whoever said more strings. Love how you keep it simple. You could keep going with simple or just add a whole lot more in there if you want. Anyhow sweet song.

~SinJim

PS - Stupid bombers...at least leave a review that would help if you're gonna vote it down...boohiss.

SkatingIsGenetic responds:

Lol.

Unfortunately, I won't be doing anymore with this.

It was just something I made to pass the time.

It's nice to know that people are diggin' it though!

Thanks for leaving a review!

[Haunting Piano Theme]

Haunting

Nice theme here, it does exactly what it's supposed to. Great piano playing too, I love the progression. 5/5, 10/10.

[Final Goodbye (EQ)]

Goodbye

This is amazing - I'd love to have a cousin who sings so my songs didn't always sound like they're missing something haha... Anyways. Great job, the piano is wonderful and her voice fits right over all the parts of this. I felt like this was a little short though. Wanted more. Loved it though 5/5, 10/10.

~SinJim

Equation responds:

Thanks, yeah she is a great singer aint she :)

It is a short song this one, I'm currently putting an album together and this will be the final song on it...

Glad you enjoyed and thanks for the review

[Catching Air]

SinJim

Great song - really relaxing and catches the essence of the title. Bass was awesome, nice job! 5/5, 10/10

[The Barren Desert (nearly Fin)]

Barren

I listened to the other one and this is definitely a huge improvement over it. I like the idea behind everything and the song overall I just think you might want to put a bit of variation on the drums. Or (hear me out) you could add some heavy reverb on the drums to make them sound "far away." then somewhere in the middle fade the reverb out while you bring the beat to center stage. Just an idea. If you don't like that that's fine, I am craving a bit of reverb on the clap, however.

I would say to definitely vary the beat, maybe add a sample drum beat behind yours to give it some more flavor but take the volume down to like half of the drums you already have. It will just spice it up a bit. Anyhow, if when you choose to upload you're looking for a genre I'd place it in ambient.

Just a couple examples here - fool around with effects on various instruments to see if you can get some different sounds. You just need a bit more variation to keep the listener interested. I can't wait to hear the final.

~SinJim

PS - Sounds like you're in a desert (duh - the title) but maybe a humongous cave - meh *shrug*

SkatingIsGenetic responds:

Ok ok...

I understand you dealing with the effects with instruments,

Just have to figure out where and what...

Hm...

This should be interesting.

It will probably take me a bit longer to put out the final, but it should be worth it.

And it's funny, I have two different claps going on in this song.

With the double claps, the first clap in the double clap has reverb...lol.

Yes weird, I know, but I'm going to check out how it sounds with reverb on both XD.

But yes, I'm going to work a deal more with this.

Thanks so much for the reivew!

P.S.- If to you it sounds like a humongous cave, then so be it!

[Cry For Me (Stuck)]

Stuck on this.

I love this piece. It's very heartfelt and the piano is just, what is the word, delicious. Odd? Yes, I know. Anyhow, I loved when the bass came in cuz I was thinking "Wow this song is awesome...could really use some bas--- oh wait there it is." Great work with the beat and everything overall. Did you play the piano? It's beautiful. Oh yea...you gotta love those people that just vote zero on you with no explanation - Huzzah! Great job! I'm favoriting you, I'll check the rest of your songs when I have time later.

~SinJim

PS - Can't wait to hear the next version.

SkatingIsGenetic responds:

No, I didn't, and don't play piano *sobs*

I'm getting a job this summer though so I can save up for a really nice keyboard.

Just like guitar, I'll learn how to play piano all late..

I'm amazed you liked the beat, because it's driving me insane.

I'm going to try to put some marching drums in the beginning or something.

Or I might become overpowered by laziness and never fix it, but with this song it's unlikely.

I'm glad you liked it man! I'll be sure to PM you with the finish!
