Omega-Ravager's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Vertical Moods]

Cool

It's sounds like it belongs in Magical starsign (if you ever played that... idk) it's the synth over the bass I think, but I like it.

I don't know how much I like the drum samples in this one, the snare is good, but I think the kick sounds a little too... real? I think it needs more of a pump than a thump... if that makes any sense... And the hat/ride seems just a little too dominant in the song.

I like the sax, it builds your melody well, and it's an important element of jazz...

I think you had a little too much repetition in the song, though it never got really dull and you did some interesting things near the end of the song to keep it varied, it just felt a tad repetitive at the beginning.

Good jazz man!

[Manufactured Moves]

Nice!

Lovin the arp, I agree with RW, the lead is a bit loud, it does more than stick out over the rest of the song, it begins to drown out everything else.
It doesn't quite get to the point of being annoying but it is not as enjoyable because of that.

I would have liked to see a little more musical progression, not just with the lead, but some variance in the arp and the bass... basically more musical movement....

Overall really good, glad to see your still making music, I can feel your style in this, and it's definitely progressed quite a bit, keep working on it!

Nice job overall.

[Nechura - Scumbag (xKr Remix)]

Holy !!!

My brain was totally just demolished!

I love the back and for of intense blowin your mind to to chilled out, and back and forth, that's wild! Your music remains constantly new and exciting... I don't even know how to review something like this, it's just hard to describe...

Amazing!

Omega

[Matt Cavender - Out of Reach]

Amazing!

As a pianist I can appreciate this so much!

This proves that you are an excellent composer, when you can reach out of your genre and make something like this, it blew my mind... I want to remix the heck out of this, but I don't know that I could do it justice... You are a huge inspiration to me, and I'm sure to many others, I hope only the best for you and your career, and if ever get near the east coast USA I'll do my very best to come see you live.

Keep up the spectacular work!

[~ Bitter Sweet Sunlight~ [CAT]]

Holy eff!

Intro, calm, controlled and it felt like something awesome was brimming, probably my favorite part of the song really. Once the main part of the melody came in (the piano for bittersweet symph) it started to feel just a tad disjoined, but it quickly came together very well.
Not the sunlight I was thinking of, there's an awesome dub remix on NG (and by awesome, I mean awesome...) though I really liked it, the piano was great, and you had some really good sounding synths in here, nothing really crazy fancy, but full of energy and great sounding, there isn't anything "off" in this song, and it's quite a pleasure to listen to on my Klipsch "one" headphones, which have quite the knack for pulling out every bit of sound and laying it right out in the open, if you own some studio phones, or ever get to listen to stuff on them, I'd recommend it, this song is beast in em!

At 57 secs there is a snare that does sound out of place, it gives it a glitchy kinda feel which I do not think fits well in this song (that sorta thing is usually better for glitch metal, and that sort of music) this is more of a smooth song, and it makes your mixing of the tracks seem a little rough at the beginning, other than that this is pretty awesome! (Yeah, I know, I'm super picky...)

Excellent work!

Omega

(P.S.)
I haven't put anything up on NG for a while, but I am working on one or two pretty awesome things (trying to get everything perfect...) if you want I can let you know when I drop a track, idk when though, cause college is a killer so far...

Catstuffer responds:

Thanks a lot for your review!! Much appreciated! :D I'm using Audio-Technica Studio Monitor headphones and I'd recommend them to anyone on a budget! Great cans for the buck!

Thanks so much for your input! And feel free to let me know when you put something out! Thanks!

[Walkin' Towards Some Love]

Nice.

I dig the beat, it's a little simple, I'd try to add some more depth to it, tone the kick down just a tad, it seems heavy compared to the rest of the song, a little more than it should... But I like it, with some vocals it should be pretty good. Lookin forward to hearin it!

Omega

Stavier responds:

Thanx man. Yeah, it sounds better with headphones cuz I did pan the shaker and snaps, but I know whatcha mean. I see whatcha mean byt the kick. I did layer it like twice so that's probably why it's so hard. Thanx for the review!!!

[xKore - Entropy (Preview)]

Amazing!

You have done it again man, you're awesome. Remember how I said once I got my new computer built I was gonna get a bandcamp and buy your songs? (probably not)
Well, this review is bein typed up on my brand spankin new PC (custom built and streamlined for music production) and I'm making a bandcamp after this review and buying every song you've got up there.

ANYWAYS. . . on to actually reviewing the song

The piano intro is great, and the sudden ending leads you wanting more. the simple synths and intro is great, drums are heavy and once the vocals start kicking it's pretty freakin epic, I want a lot more from this song, which I imagine is in the full version. but this is only a review of this bit. . .

Your not just an amazing musician, but you inspire me. You're trying to make it out in the world of music, and you are doing quite the bang up job.
I wanna see your smooth style meet up with something brutal like excision, and it would just be insanely epic!

Anyways. . . Excellent work Sir, you deserve every penny of my dollar.

[Glide (AVAT Theme) ~FNG~]

Nice!

The intro was good. Simple and it built a happy/upbeat yet serious (kinda) sounding mood.

When the drums kicked, it got my head bobbing and the banjo (or whatever) was good, and it sounded great with your choral music. (I also liked your drumwork, it was simple but sometimes that's the best)

I can really see some awesome and epic gaming to this. It's chill enough for background work, but also has a ton of energy if you're actually paying attention to it.

I really like it, it's got a simple beat and some awesome instruments. But it was awesome and I enjoyed every second of it!
You are really improving as an artist, and I just wanted to let you know never to give up, you really have some great talent, and I'm excited to be able to watch you grow as a fellow artist, it really gives me hope!

Excellent!

Omega

Also I always like to tell people when I do this cause I don't do it much, so I like to tell people when they do good enough to make the "list"
Dl'd to ipod, and it isn't your first work I've gotten either.

Omnivore responds:

Alright thanks! Also, the banjo, is actually.. *thinks for a moment*.. I have no f*cking idea X3.

[The Fall and Rise]

Amazing!

I really liked your instrumentation and you made this sound really good.
I think you could have used a few more instruments in the background or something, but what you have is perfect, I just think you could add in a little bit extra to make it even better!

The intro could have gone two ways, the more ambient somber one that you did, but I heard potential for an epic, I might have to explore doing that sometime. . .

Excellent!

Omega

TheBlackbyrd responds:

Its funny how u trail off into saying how to make it better but still say it was good. lol. its rather confusing but it makes me laugh.

[Brisk Momento]

Nice!

I liked the intro, it was chilled, but it had a really energetic beat too.

I keeps pumping, but is not too crazy powerful at all, I agree with poowis, it would be awesome in some kind of shooter, a chill but pumping background music.

There were a few drum beats I thought shifted around a little bit too quickly, but that is just how they struck me. . .

Excellent work my friend, you are improving a TON!

Omega

Stavier responds:

Chilled & energetic is definitely what I tried adding in this. Yeah, it's suppose to e not so pumpin', but not so woohoo, happiness :D I agree with you & poowis, background music this could be. I could see how you thought they were a little fast. I've been tryin' to improve indeed. Making these DnB tracks helped alot & thanx for the review!
