Psychopath's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Thoughtful Nightmare]

This isn't Industrial, this is Ambient. The whole point of Industrial as far as mood is concerned is that it's supposed to be dark, dismal and bleak. It's actually supposed to be the opposite of Techno in a way. For a good example of what Industrial should be like, look up a song called Martial Law by AliceMako.

I'm giving you a 2.5 because I wanted to give you the fairest shake I could. Industrial isn't dancing in a club out of the Jetsons, it's hiding in the sewers from strike drones. I know it might be a dick move to write a review on a song that barely touches on the music itself, but I don't peruse the Industrial section for optimistic music.

mrcompston responds:

Yeah sorry about that, was half asleep when I posted the track. Basically, I thought at the time it read "instrumental", that is why I clicked on it, I should have known better really. Thank you for your honest feedback :)

[Linkin Park Mashup]

I only wish this were louder.

etK responds:

Oh god this is old lol ^^

[Wacked Out Space Aliens]

One of the better uses of Mixcraft I've heard yet. Very well made.

ADR3-N responds:

Wow, didn't expect a review on this since it's so old -- before I had an idea about music making. Glad you liked!

[Burning Gears]

The piano notes kill this as an Industrial song.

Yqarus responds:

Well, thank you for your kindness. :)

[Martial Law]

One of the few actual Industrial songs in the Industrial category.

This song goes well as a background soundtrack when listening to Kafka or Orwell audiobooks, highly recommended.

AliceMako responds:

Industrial ambient is just one flavor, most of the genre borders on progressive trance, berlin techno and decidedly teeny bopper electro these days.

[Io Eternal]

Reminds me of the Goth music that Digital-Musician used to make back in the day. Death of the Black Rose, the Resurrection, ect. & A Disaffected Youth by Remisser. I miss Remisser. It's depressing like Digital-Musician's music but it has the laid back quality of Remisser's content. I don't know why it's listed under the Video Game "genre" since it doesn't appear to be a cover of a song or really resemble any of the classic 8bit, 16bit or 32bit eras of video game music.

I'm going to favorite this. Then I'm going to scout you both for the Audio Portal and upvote your score.

PyramidKid responds:

Thank you for the kind words. I misunderstood Video Game tag. Now it's under Ambient. At least closer :)

[Bomb over Japan]

I really like the narration at the beginning. I think it adds a lot. Honestly though, if you're gonna make & song about Fat Man & Little Boy, the genre I'd go with would be Industrial Metal since that's a genre centered doom & despair. This honestly sounds more like night club music than a recount of the Nagasaki & Hiroshima bombings.

Even then, I still like how you downplayed the music & tried to simulate the sound of an actual nuclear explosion at 2:30.

I'll scout you for the Audio Portal & upvote your song now.

RDGRM responds:

Thanks Psychopath!

Now that you scouted me I added to more tracks, one about The Binding of Isaac, and one about the anglerfish.

Hope you liked one of the stories!

[Cosmos traveler]

Sounds like music that could be used for a journey in outerspace or something to that effect. I like the tempo quite a lot. I really appreciate that this song doesn't use every instrument on the table all at once like some songs on Newgrounds.

CrisTheGamer responds:

Thanks you, I appreciate your feedback, that's what I need To continue :D

[mk8 n64 rainbow road (fortuning)]

It's a pretty good cover. I think you have a future in making music.

Since this is a cover it'd be nice if you would change the licensing terms for free to use since the notes you used aren't yours. Then again, it might be better for you keep it that way so that if someone tries to use it for profit, you won't be held liable but I doubt that'd protect you much since web CC terms aren't really recognized by the government.

I digress, I'll scout you for the Audio Portal & upvote your submission.

kostassfirakis responds:

Thank you very much! :D

[Epic Comeback]

Honestly, the hammering piano at the beginning is the weakest part. It really doesn't scream "Epic Comeback" to me, unless this happens to be your epic comeback in which case I can't really say anything to dismiss it since it's meant to be you or something.

Oh by the way, your computer may have been "buggy" because your hardware was insufficient for exporting your audio. It's most likely your processor. You may want to check if you have hyperthreading on.

If you're using Windows, use System Config; Boot; Advanced Options & increase the number of virtual cores you're using. Your computer will need to reboot to make the change.

If you're already hyperthreading at max, you may want to uninstall FL Studio, get CCleaner to clear the registry of FL Studio files & reinstall it.

If neither of those things work, you may need to scan for viruses. Get Malwarebytes & Avast if you don't already have them. Run a custom scan in Malwarebytes & checkmark every option. If you discover an infection you have two choices:

#1: Scrub the hard drive clean by reinstalling Windows.

#2: Go here: http://www.techspot.com/community/forums/virus-and-malware-removal.28/ & follow their instructions on how to disinfect.

If you have no infections & you have few virtual cores, it might be time to upgrade your processor.

keslarium responds:

Hey, thanks for the input! What was happening was all of the applications that I was trying to use to listen to the exported file (aside from Fl Studio) thought that the song length was only like 1:30 or something, so I just opened it in audacity and re-exported it, and it worked. That's all. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to do most of the things you mentioned above. Thanks though! I'm going to work on a new song soon, and I know that the piano is piercing. I'm new to this.
