Reviews for "-Consoles-"

Really Nice.

This is really reminiscent to John Tejada and Sutekh. You're a gem, you really are. This is a great song. I love the square acid rotating around :) I'm an IDM producer myself so I found this song to be quite refreshing.

Cheers,

Thomas

5/5

Never heard of the people you mention, but I will definately check them out. Slow but purposeful, that's what i'm all about. patience:D Great thanks for review my music... btw, your stuff is quality.

Indeed minimal

The start was incredibly dull and empty... you could've done mroe out of it than a low rez kick and a clap eh? Good that the following part sounds good though, Liked how you made the pade come in panning from the left speaker and then when it's at it's full put it into both of the speakers. Cleverly done!

the following beats and melodies all fit very well, they're very glitchy and makes a really awesome glitch/IDM feeling. The VG FX that comes in later is overwhelming and makes the song super messy, but that's how IDM is I guess :) Pretty nice square pad you got in a little before the end, maybe the thing I liked most of it.

Holy hell this song is long! It's still not done! The end was like the start, pretty cheap, but the song's main part really makes it out!

Great IDM/Video Game, have a 4/5!

(also it'd be awesome of you if you hit me back with a review too- but you don't need to)

Squarears responds:

this trk is supposed to be representative of the good old days of games consoles, so the cheap sounds are very much purposeful. As for the start being very dull, i disagree, the intention with this track was to build, and if you find 8bars of drums dull then maybe it's your attention span that should be called into question.
I would also like to add that I dont think the song gets messy at any point, perhaps it sounds more messy than it is in reality, as here it's only at 96kbps, if you hear it at 128kpbs or 192kbps, even better:) the space of the mix is far more apparent, but what can you do.
Reviewed one of your ambient tracks, very nice indeed.
Thanks for the honest review.

Really Nice work

Great job on it. You'll fit in nicely around these parts! I really didn't find that the bitrate was too low - this style lends itself well to heavy compression anyways. I like the layering and the bitcrushing that you used. The 303 bassline is cool - a little retro - This is a damn good first track and I'm really interested to hear more of your work. There are a handfull of people here that get the "look into a label" speech from me but I think that you could be well on your way. If you want a couple of names of other NGAF denizens that are either into this style or who produce it then PM me to say hi and we can talk more about it.

BTW - we are trying to implement a rule of thumb for the advertisements topic - every time you post a link in there you really should review the two previous submissions - if we all stick to that then the advertisements topic will be much more usefull to everyone. Thanks!

If you haven't yet seen the current MAC (Monthly Audio Contest) Then go take a look now! You could win yourself a couple of bills!

Again - great submission - you'll get my 5!

See you around the portal.

Squarears responds:

Hi. Thank you very much for reviewing so quickly:) I will make sure to review as many submissions as possible, I need to get to grips with how this site works.
I like my sounds very retro, well, that mixed with a modren style production anyways, I will definately PM you as soon as I figure out how to do it:) Thank you Mr LJ, I'll make sure to have a listen to your music and review it.
