BeeFef's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cold Winters and Warm Summers]

Some of the sounds aren't too bad, but one thing I find annoying is how mono the song sounds due the phaser over the whole mix during the first 2/3. Another thing I think the song is lacking is a buildup, a more complex beat, and a bassline that moves more. But other than that, not too bad.

[Vapor]

This is cool. It's got that Lockyn vibe and it sounds jazzy, like a Nord synth is in the song or something. The beat's awesome, the sounds are awesome. No wonder you have so many fans. Really good job on this. One thing you could do to this though that would sound really neat is like a mega-breakdown where you filter down everything and add some crazy sounds and stuff and then build it back up dramatically.

Lockyn responds:

Thank you mate! maybe I'll try some crazy filtering next time

[Peace - [DJ-MiniKnoppa]]

This is a pretty epic track. It's unique as well. The half-beat's pretty cool. I would recommend more variation in the song, though. Good song.

DJ-MiniKnoppa responds:

thx :D

[Art of Noize]

This song makes me smile. Things like this make me want to surf NG more often. One thing that I don't like is the song isn't catchy enough. I would like to hear a stronger melody. It's also a bit too repetitive. But overall, the song's good.

[(E-E) Eradicate It!]

Some of the sounds you did are pretty good. One thing I would recommend is that the song should go somewhere more. I would recommend chord progression in there to make the melody more interesting. Not too bad, though.

Everlasting-Elements responds:

Thanks for the review. Wasn't exactly sure what else to do to create better intensity. I'll look into it. You may get a message from me soon.

[Lucent]

Excellent. Rated 5.

Honestly, I think it would've been more appropriate if you had put it under DnB or House, but there are some dubstep characteristics too.

What did you use for that saw lead that sounds sorta like an electric guitar? And the choir-ish sound? Those were really cool and maybe I could use something similar in my songs.

The only thing is that the refrain of the song was very similar, but this necessarilly does not make it bad for many listeners.

Obviously, you somehow acquired the materials for this song somewhere in heaven. There are rumors that angels now strum this tune on their harps. Good job!

Lockyn responds:

Hey, I'm glad you enjoyed so much. Genres are always hard for me, so I hope you can forgive me for that.

I create all my synths using Sytrus - the electric guitar sounding synth is saw-based, choir-ish sound is builds off a waveform of my voice. They have a lot more to it than that but that is the basis of those two sounds. I could do a walkthrough of this project if there is enough interest.

You're much too kind - but I appreciate your kindness. :) Cheers mate!

[Stalemate]

Pretty good. Like the lead arpeggio a lot because of the pitch bend. I actually think the pitch bends are pretty unique. Also wasn't expecting a fade-out at the end

The reason why I gave it 3 1/2 stars is because it's highly repetitive. Much of the song seems like you're just repeating the same 4 measures over and over. My advice is to keep your songs interesting by putting in new parts and new sounds, breaks, melodies, etc. before it gets too boring. You can still be repetitve of course, but try to keep the repetition a bit lower.

I came over here, returned a favor, and checked out this song of yours since you gave me a review on one of my songs.

[[SD] Strollin']

I swear I heard this in a flash game a while ago...

But anyway, the melodies in the song aren't that fluent to me, honestly it sounds MIDI-ish and un-natural. First melody I think was one of the best.

The synth towards the end was pretty cool.

Overall, the song is pretty dreamy and nice with a somewhat fitting beat in my opinion.
