phosphorusprocedure's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-GM- 00]

Fucking dope. Reminds me of one of those really chill rap songs from one of the Tony Hawk games. I could totally kickflip to this.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Yeeah booyyy. Guess it might fit in Underground (favorite by far) haha

Thanks for the listen!

[Paradise Of Lies]

Was this played live? The noise on top of the piano sounds cool. Almost has this gentle jazz brush drum sound to it. Was there any overdubbing with the piano, or was everything piano recorded in one take?

The string sounded great. The string, chimes and piano in tandem were my favorite part. I was hoping for some more chords in the piece, like a bridge section or something.

Generally, it sounded pretty cool. I dug it.

HeAvEn-SmiLE responds:

Thanks for reviewing my musics!

Well, Paradise of Lies isn't finished yet, there is a lot more to it, two more sections, a more dynamic one with strings, and another one more "soloish"

Plus the strings and chimes were some kind of test session, Paradise of Lies isn't over yet, as I'm going to study the perception of the sounds, and add more strings to it.

Thanks again for the review, Appreciated!

By the Way, It was not recorded live, I'm using Cinesamples Piano in Blue, but I can record my violin with a BOSS BR80. :)

[Let's Get It]

That bass slide-in thing at 1:45 sounded really cool.

The No Quarter flangy keyboard thing sounds dope.

Really enjoyed the drop.

I think the whole mix could've used a bit more bass. I wasn't picking up much low range stuff going on, even when the beat came in. Maybe it's my headphones.

Shit was cool though. My head was noddin'.

Poniiboi responds:

I'm pretty much in love with you.

[Lateef]

Bass didn't sound too wonky to me. Like B-RadGfromOV said, it's got some hiss to it, but I don't really give a shit as long as 1) it's the only thing trying to be the bass, and 2) it's stereo centered. Hits both 1 and 2. I mean, it doesn't have to be stereo centered but I think panned bass tends to sound kinda gross.

I didn't know congestion could fuck with how someone hears things. You use headphones when you mix, right?

That flutter tremolo shit at 2:01 was cool.

Drums sounded dope. Now that you got me obsessing over EQ, I think the snare might have some gross 2k shit going on that could be cut a bit. All snares in the history of ever got that shit going on, though. I cut it and I don't even it makes a difference. Certainly doesn't get me any more honeys, but whatever.

I dug the madlib start-and-stops on the sample where the drums would keep going but the sample stops.

Cool mood going on with the track. Very noir-y. Shit sounds like a depressed Flying Lotus. You got the la noire trumpet shit, the jazz feel, the super compressed funky drum pattern, the stones throw start-and-stops, all you need is doom rapping on there about 'dude in a tin foil hat, cool as a miracle whip, lash, eyelashes, pay no attention in classes, all about fat asses and molasses, captain steppin' in and out of the cabin, bitin' into crab apples like charlie sea hustle, like tom green he about them mussels' whatever the fuck he raps about

BOULLIE responds:

Yeah man. When the allergies get goin my hearing gets foggy, good lookin out phos

That lo-fi software you sent me is my new favorite plug btw

[Ellen's Ballad]

Sounds cool. Who's doing the singing? You? Sounds good. Heavily processed, lots of reverb, plus whatever voice file/pad thing you used for the chords sounds interesting.

The weird ping thing at 0:43 sounds really cool.

I don't know the word for what's going when the really low pitch vocal sample comes in, but it's like it echoes/reverbs out and the reverb pans in a really jagged way which sounds kinda weird on headphones. Kinda like my head is shaking. It also sounds kinda distorted. I dunno. Just sounds kinda odd.

Everything else is dope. Drums sound great. Chords sound great.

xxxZigZagxxx responds:

Thanks man. I'm not doing the singing (I'm not that good). I just sampled something else.

At 0:43 that's an 808 cowbell. I just love that too much. I'm using it too often recently xD

About that really weird pitching vocal thing... I don't have any headphones to mix with, I'm generally using speakers and cheap earphones (i switch between the two) so that's probably why some panning issues might exist. I'll try to figure out why that happened.

Thanks. You da real MVP person. :)

Blessings! Merry Christmas too!

[Help!]

2011 ish? Based on the crackle going on with the drums, since I think your drums got way cleaner over time. But then I'm thinking, sometimes you put the crackle in there on purpose for nostalgia's sake or something. Shit man I dunno, it sounds dope though.

I'm gonna say you're fucking with us and you made this shit yesterday.

But seriously, you like Prince with his vault of tracks he just holds onto? Like when you feel like uploading something, you head over to the Bouille vault, put in the combination, mouth fuck the DNA scanner thing, and beep boop, door slides open with the dry ice smoke coming off and there's all this vintage ass beats and you pick a random number between 1 and a 1000 or something?

Probably got those on cassette too. Just to keep it old school. Pop it into your cassette to mp3 converter, except it's not mp3, 'cause to keep it extra vintage you convert it to floppy discs on your Apple II or something. Enough space on a floppy to store 2 seconds of a beat. 200 floppy discs later...

I dunno

BOULLIE responds:

lmfaaaaaao

im ded loool. Mouth fuck a dna scannerrrr

It's a couple months old at least, I've got plenty of newer stuff too but I always want to know
what the NG community thinks of the older work

Son if that was my process to access old beats, I better be out of this galaxy with my shit lol

[Fist Communique]

Forgot I was listening to newgrounds and not itunes, really thought Doom was gonna start rapping. The kung fu noises, man. Very herbs and spices

1:32 -- those crazy horn noises, man

1:58 -- sax fit in real well

BOULLIE responds:

Word em up thank yooou.

Tryna tighten my loop game

[Hardback Funk]

I love the vocal hook/sample thing. I dig the way that sound was processed. Got this Zoo station space thing going on. The pllllinks on the chords for the keyboard sound GREAT. Those synths at 1:58 sound cool too. Jesus Christ, how many synths/instruments do you have lying around. It's like you figured out how to fit all of them into one song.

The off-kilter ness of the drums is also dope. The claps sound fantastic.

I dig the mood of the track. Dude I dig everything about this. Goddamn, dude.

fearing responds:

Very much thank you for such awesome feedback! I can't thank you enough. Keep it real man

[-GM- Phantom]

Dude I love the piano sounds. I like how it slides in, and how the notes sound fucked up at first but resolve. Rhythmically it sounds cool too.

Wasn't totally digging the strings. Texturally, it made a great contrast to the sharp plingy piano, but notewise I think it could've been doing something more interesting. I also think it could've used some more reverb or something to smooth out when it drops out.

The bassline was fucking phenemonal. It sounded great. Drum pattern was killer.

My favorite thing about the track was the chord progression was twice as long as I thought it would be, so when I thought the chords were gonna loop back, they did some other shit. That was cool.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

You summed up my thoughts exactly.

Thanks for listening as always!!

[-GM- Bamboozle]

Love the hats. Dig the bass. I really like the madlib/doom-esque riff thing the high pitched keyboard does during the 'chorus' part. Not too big into the noteless clanky clanks the keyboard does elsewhere in the riff -- they kinda clutter up the funky rhythm the drums/bass have going on. They just seem like they're happening in weird places. Then again, it IS jazzy. Can't argue with that.

I dig the lil half-step down thing the bassline does (love when that shit happens). Cool ass beat, I dig the fuck out of it.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Thanks for the listen! Yeah I tried and tried to get those little clip clop slap noises out of the keyboard sample, but they remain, sorry.
