Libby-Shimmz's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[scratched brass]

Dope!

Loved the scratches.

That vocal chop at ~0:40 was a nice touch.

The drum pattern is straight up boom bap finesse.

"Hit me with the horns, you gotta hit the horns!"

Xorberax responds:

Thanks!

[[S_Rock] UHHH]

Dope sounds bruv!

What is that wavering wobbly string-like instrument? I hear snippets of strings every few measures, so I assume it's a filtered (glitchy plugin?) violin... Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The string run's note progression during the chorus is nice.

I'll have to listen to this after I sleep so I can better aurally observe the low-end, but I love this so far.

5/5 10/10

S-Rock responds:

You're correct ^^ they are Cellos with a guitar pedal plug-in. in fact every instrument on this beat is cello. other than the bass and drums :P thanks for your time though I really appreciate it.

[your name ...]

Dooope sample!

Very lo-fi track.

I like the way the piano falls off-kilter near the end of the first half, though I wish this had more variation.

Dig the last bit too.

5/5 8/10

KingSandy responds:

thanks man

[Concept Birth]

Interesting use of Time Stretching in the beginning. I dig the sample, the chops are nice and it's cool how you switched this up with the vocals later on. I wish it was longer tho. 4/5 8/10

DJDureagon responds:

Thanks. it'll be longer once its all done.... hopefully.

[Aromas]

That harp is divine.

That synth sound is interesting, sample or homemade synth?

Dope beat bruv!

B-RadGfromOV responds:

All samples. The strings sound like a synth cause of the flanger effect I put on it.

[FD - Ghosts]

Hawt drums, those guitars are crying...

The keysin the center remind me of the Beatles or The Kinks.

Love it all!

Happy early 5th birthday!

ForgottenDawn responds:

Thank you for enjoying the track and remembering my 5th anniversary~

[Dulcet Tones]

Is there a side-chain on the break making the hiss beneath it go down, or is that all in the sample?

The bass and main sample reminds me of Ninja Tune records, but the vocal sample adds a soul vibe akin to 9th Wonder.

As always, I would love to hear you make a beat that's got a little more love put into it.

Just my .02

5/5 10/10

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Myep, kick is separate from the break and sidechained to a couple things (including break which carries the most hiss here).

You're absolutely right I should put more care and make these tracks longer, more diverse. Used to do that a lot more, been focusing on other stuff though these days and seem to just leave it as loops. At least it can loop here, and if someone wants to rap on it, it's ready to go for restructuring. But there still will be times when I get a passion for a beat and it goes farther, sure.

Thanks as always for list'nin

[Tomb]

Mixed Up Cup snare is dope.

The effects you got on this are fucking with my head in the best way.

That piano soothes the machinations of my consciousness.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Thanks, o' break scholar.

Yeah the main sample switches to a gated pan+filter. Sorta made room in the mix for the piano sample.

As always thanks for the words

[Sleep]

That snare tho! Wot iz dat?

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Pretty lowkey drum break, kinda dull and quiet. so that snare, plus a generic snap sound, pitched kinda low.

[HoneyPotz]

Mmm, dat vocal at the beginning, lovely atmosphere setting.

Love the drum fill at :57, nice change-up after with the geetar too.

I still don't hear that melody that I heard at the end of HoneyPot... Fang, there it is, at the end again. >. <

Psych us out, fair enough.

8/10 4/5

B-RadGfromOV responds:

That is the original song melody, I didn't want to rip it off too hard. sorry :P
