Numi's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[(DnB) Trauma [RNG]]

Good, but...

I REALLY liked the melody. The lead was great. The intro sounded fantastic, it pumped me up for the rest of the song. It has a nice tense feel to it. The drums were kind of generic sounding, at least beat-wise, but it was still okay. My main problem with the song is that it just feels... "empty". That's the only way I can describe it. It sounds like something's missing or not there. I really can't tell quite what - I hear a pad in the background, there's plenty of bass, and a lead. All I can guess is maybe EQ'ing?

At any rate, this sounds great nontheless. =D

does this mean I'm getting in? XD

[Applecore! 2]

Sweet!

I never heard a fusion like this before. I'm loving it ALL though, including the happy hardcore parts (which I've never been fond of in the past, so that really says something). For some reason it reminds me a LOT of some DJ Sharpnel stuff.

RetromanOMG responds:

It's really nice to know people who don't even like Happycore are enjoying this song. Thanks, lol.

Edit: Just listened to Pretty Green Onions by DJ Sharpnel. This guy is amazing.

[SN | Beautiful Arrhythmia | SN]

WHOAH

Beautiful, yet heavy at the same time. Melodic glitch-tastic drums and piano flow so well. Reminds me a lot of some older nubbinownz stuff. I absolutely adore this track <3

SessileNomad responds:

thanks! nubbin makes some pretty sweet tunage

[The Big Castle]

Meh.

This could really use another synth and some drums. Something other than the lead and bass >.<

[DiVINe MaDNEss ~P~]

Sounds great!

This makes me wanna check out Final Fantasy III now. I've only played I and VII. xD

That aside, it's VERY dark. I love it. And the drums sound identical to Disturbed's "Down With The Sickness" xD Was that intentional?

I love your work here, it just flows so well! No complaints, nothing was wrong here. keep up the amazing work!

[Slow to the Finish]

I agree with the below reviewer

Cowbell didn't fit really. The opening sound really does stay too long. Get a pad or something to fill it in and replace that. You could really speed things up with a complicated lead and a sick breakdown. I'd like to hear the final result if you continue work on this. It's got some really good potential.

alright, thanks for the review. ill pm you when i get it finished

[In Christ Alone]

WHAT

It started off pretty, and it was all going okay until the trumpet came in. It wasn't even just the melody, the instrument/VST you used itself sounds terrible. It just grinds against my eardrums. Sorry to say, but it hurts my head.

The piece has potential, scrap the trumpet, get a new VST or something, replace it with a new instrument, doesn't matter. As long as that trumpet is out of the song.

[[Hardstyle] Cry For Freed]

Whoah!

Why wouldn't you work on something this wonderful?! It's so sweet! My favorite hardstyl song on the site, by far. All I can say to improve is the main kick. I love all the patterns, all the melodies, everything about the song, except the kick. It's pretty good, I just think it doesn't quite ring as long as it should =(

[The Wind Sentinel]

Sweet!

Reminds me a lot of some older nubbinownz stuff. This is some top notch stuff right here.I'll definitely be checking into some of your other work =D

RetromanOMG responds:

Thanks for the review. Nubbin is actually the biggest influence on my breakcore.

It's nice to know that someone else will be paying attention to my music now.

[DISPATCH (mst)]

Great!

It really doesn't matter that it's repetitive. This is the perfect song to be repetitive, the melody and the beat are perfect for repetition, and you still kept it pretty fresh changing things up right when you did. It's catchy, it's alive yet still relaxing, overall a Grade A track right here.
