Nice soundboard
Quite well made, and I liked the little catergorys, alot better than having about 200 all over the place, cool techno music as background but can drown out the soundboard at times.
Anyway, voted 4

Thanks for the review, and thanks for voting four!
Pretty nice
This is a pretty nice collection of sounds (and other things) you have there, it was nice for me to hear all of thos sounds. You have also chosen very good and funny sentances, which also makes the soundboard better. However, there are somethings you need to fix in order to make this soundboard better. A lot of technical problems which, I think, can be fixed easily.
Technical problems:
1. When you click on the first sounds in Homer's, Burney's and Professor Frink's page, the sound doesn't sound like them at all, it is much lower than it should be.
2. When you click on a sound and then "back to charecter selection", the sound continues to play.
3. In the extras, when you click on the pictures and then on "back to extras menu" it brings you to the extra sound selection, rather than the extras menu and the help page.
4. I am not sure if it is a technical problem, but there is no soundtreck (background music) in the extras menu.
5. You can't get out of the extras menu to the main menu without clicking on one of the extra options and from there to the main menu.
6+. There might be more, so check it, but I didn't find more.
The graphics were pretty good, most of the soundboards are not as elegent as this sound board. I like the way that in every charecter's page there is his picture and his name. However, it is a "The simpsons" soundboard, so what about making a "The Simpsons" font rather than a regular font in different colours? Also, the buttons for the sound are not very buttony (which means looks like a button), also the "back to main menu" kinds of buttons. Try to put some graphics and colouring into them, that way they look boring. Also, I believe you know how to use the up, over, down and hit, so use it. (in case you don't know, you can make a graphical shape a button by clicking it and pressing on F8 then chosing the button option. Then you could double click the new symbol and there are 4 frames-up, over, done and hit. Up is the how the button looks like when it is not pressed or being hold with the mouse over. Over is how the button looks like when you hold the mouse over the button. Down is how the button looks when you click it and Hit is the space of the button, which means where you can press on it). So use it, the linking text annoys me. Also, what about making a background which matches the Simpsons, rather than just being elegent? I think that the 'shape' snimation you do with the text when you open something is nice, but it is too slow, try to make it faster so that people could read it without waiting for it. Also, the radar produtions intro is too long, try to make the red thingy move faster.
The style, as I have also implied before, was pretty good. There is not much of a style, of course, since it is just a soundboard and there is not much of a place for directing, but the whole board seemed elegent. However, as I said before, it barely had any connection to The Simpsons.
The sound was good, however, I didn't like the background sound of the main menu, it was pretty annoying and didn't match the Simpsons at all. What about making the background sound "The Sismpsons" theme? It would be superb. Also, make a button which allows you to stop the background sound when you are at a menu. The sounds of the soundboard itself where pretty strange too, most of them were differ by their tons, which was pretty weird to hear. Besides that the sound was nice, nice collection of sounds.
The whole board was also pretty interactive, many buttons leading you to many places. However, as I have written in the technical problems, you have a lot of problems. Fix them, and it will be good.
Anyway, this is a very good soundboard, very nice collection of sounds. All you have to do is to fix the technical problems, make the graphics more Simpsonish and graphicize the buttons, and it will be a lot better. Very nice one, good job.

Wow. Thnakd for the huge review! Your review offrered tons of good things to help with my future movies/games. Thanks a lot!
On the note of technical problems: after I submitted it I realized that (most) of these technical problems were there. I don't know why some of the voices were so robotic; it happened to me again when I tried to make a flash using sounds saved through MSN Messenger. It's odd. When I was making it, I discovered the robotic voice for Professor Frink's, "Good Morning" quote, but I thought that that was how his voice was supposed to sound for that particular line... oh well.
Yeah, I probably should have made more 'Simpsons-like' background music in the background. Oh, and I don't why (I might have just forgotten) to put a 'stop sounds' action on the frams with the sounds. I only put one in Barney's. That was a mistake, sorry about that!
Anyway, thanks for the review!
Good selection
I really liked the wide selection, though I mainly listened to Bart and Homer. Professor Frink and Barney really don't have really good catchphrases. Your preloader took a very long time, and that made me VERY frusterated. You had good sound quality, but I would like a bigger selection, and make the flash quicker.
Grade: C
Frenzy responds:
Sorry about the length of the 'pre-loader'... although I didn't think it took that long. Thanks for saying that I had good sound quality. If I make another one, which I (hopefully) will, I will try to make a bigger selection of sounds. Oh, and is a C good? :p
Thanks for the review!
A pretty cool Soundboard
~The good~
You had a plathera of different characters, which was cool, I liked Homer and Bart the most. Also, they sounded pretty good and understandable.
~The bad~
The white format in the back was kind of dull. Also, the music was really distracting and loud in the background, a soundboard shouldn't have loud music in the background. The extras feature was kind of useless, in my opinion, the pictures were just a stupid idea, and the small soundboard for Mr. Burns could've easily went into the main soundboard page. My last concern is that some characters like Berney had a lot less soundboards than the ones Homer had, in fact all of them had a small amount of choices, for a large series like the Simpsons there should be millions of funny things said, not only ten.
Overall, a mediocre soundboard that probobly won't satisfy your hunger for funny Simpson's conversations. I hope my review was helpful!
3/5
