SJBarbarossa's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Commit Rhyme]

Some great schemes in there, but I think it would've sounded better over a funkier beat.

Good shyit.

Luke responds:

Thanks for the review and high score man! This beat felt very different compared to instrumentals I have worked on in the past. I try to keep it a little unique each time since I don't want to bore anybody. Same sound can get irritating and lead to disappointment. To me anyway.
I appreciate the criticism and I am working on some new music now, so if you know any producers with some beats you'd like to hear me on, let me know!

[CLAB - Teqneek vs Prometheus]

Right so, verse 1s: Teq's flow was on point, but, especially at the beginning, he wasn't doing much with it. Prome's was not too bad, but his flow was kinda off, and some of his schemes didn't work too well. I also hate that high pitched thing.
Verse 2s: Teq came in again, had a few more personals and relevant lines and overall goodness. Not much to say there really.
My issue is with Prome's fourth verse. I appreciate what he was trying to do, and frankly, it sounded ok. However, judging by the flow on his first verse, it seems like he only did it because he was having trouble sticking to the beat. Whether that's even true or not: that's how it comes across.
Plus I forget whether there's something in the rules about doing that or not.

But I gotta give it to Teqqy.

[Entry beat]

Very chill, good stuff as usual! The sound is a little thin through these laptop speakers, but I dunno if that's just me.

[CLAB - Jar vs Pachillis]

The dopeness of this battle makes up for the lack of others. Very well done, guys.

I think I'll have to give my vote to Jar too.

[A Change of Scenery]

Nice work Wombo.
(I realise that looks like womb-o, but it's staying there)

What d'you record this stuff on? It's really clear.

I just use an acoustic guitar, recorded with Mixcraft 6.
Thanks for the review, man.

[Lab Class]

Dope track no doubt. I was kind of expecting some double time at the end, though I'm not even sure if that's your thing.
Lookin' forward to the tape, man.

BummerCityTown responds:

Lol Yeah my thing is just whatever I end up doing on the track. I just happens. Maybe double time will happen some future tracks. :) thanks for the 5 brother!

[Amateur Hour]

Beat is immense.
Bars are immense. Great delivery again, dude. Release more shit.

CHiLEDAWG responds:

More shit is on the way my friend, thanks mann

[Convey - Home]

I like it. Very chill, sort of sombre. Maybe the drums could use some work though (but that could just be the laptop speakers fault).

Convey responds:

Hey. Thanks! I'm not exactly sure how the drums sound on laptop speakers as I made this through headphones. I programmed them through drumaxx and while I wanted to give the snare some reverb I didn't know at the time how to send that to the mixer so I ended up giving them all of the drums reverb (since then I found out how, so that'll be fixed once I'm finished with this new song). Unfortunately my laptop is fried and I kinda know first hand my laptop speakers suck. But I'm over thinking this. :P

Glad you liked it though. :)

[Under Water]

Good shit! Dunno why I haven't heard this before.

Eye-Cue responds:

Thanks fats!

[CLAB - suddle vs Willizard]

Suddle for the W 'cause he actually has some great wordplay in there, plus better flow.
Willizard has a lot of promise though.
