Anjovi's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Portals]

Love it! Very clean, but manages to be colorful and nuanced! Finish it! :D

DJDureagon responds:

Im trying!

[Kami | Lords]

Sweet! like these new batch of beats! (this ones my favorite)
Very clean layering of samples!

Kamikazi1 responds:

I've got more coming, many many beats have been made in my absence of this portal. I hope to do more work with you man, did my soul good to see you were still here cooking up that fire.

[Jasmine]

So much to love about it! The minimalist drum kit over all over the crazy percussions of the sample is just perfect. I'd imagine that bass line being off of some snazzy modern jazz record, though i remember that you've found a knack for sampling your own playing.

And then there's that mysterious eastern sounding sample that seems to come from somewere alien from the original sample but layer superb like.

Love these swingy little jazzy bumps. Kind of material for a top rate beatnick emcee to black out on.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Thanks bro. I like these kinds too. They seem to come together very naturally. Snare is actually part of the sample as well. Cool for guitar solos i think.

[Concept Olgrun]

This is cool! that rough equalizing in their could work pretty great with whatever vocals go on top if they were equalized in the same fashion (real lofi to match it)

Awesome though! love it!

DJDureagon responds:

Thats exactly what I was going for. Real rough real gritty. I just wish it has more volume.. and im not talking about loudness.

[Drizzle]

perhaps an extra layer to add a SLAP! to the 2nd snare in each loop would bring it out a bit, without being too invasive? That said, i don't personally mind it, but can see were Dureagons coming from.

Wicked beat!

B-RadGfromOV responds:

fanks

[Lily]

Can't hear any off notes myself. I think once you get chord intervals (what fingers your placing that 1,3,5 on) down as well as a basic jist of scales it'll be cake.

That and the basic shapes of the chords and you could start running those chords and licks up and down that sonuvabitch!

B-RadGfromOV responds:

There were some off notes but I did some removing of clunkers and adjusting. I'm gettin there, been jamming with some friends, good times!

[Phase 24]

How else do you get your stuff out there? I think this deserves to be heard!
Probably my favorite from your new batch.

[Nymph]

Love it! great loop, all of the little bits sprinkled out in there, as well as the variation in the drums keep things sweet!

[Concept Charade]

Were I'd go with this is would probably involve just adding some variations on the chops to stave off the repetition (little alternate chops to slip into different bars), or some trick were you eq the main sample for a bit to make room for another sample to slide ontop for a breakdown or something.

Otherwise, It's pretty solid, nice and simple.

[Elegy]

I can definately appreciate the beat...heh
I'd be concerned if I wasn't able to discern a particular riff, but the melody from the base sample is clear. The other bits weave in and out like any good beat should, though it is on the heavier side, which would understandably alienate some xD

liking the new beats man!
