Anjovi's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[ghost]

haha! Funnily enough, i remember mixing this with that owl beat that you made way back when you let me mess with it!

Never need a pardon for your loops man!

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Yeah I probably still have the project file somewhere

[I'll Be]

I don't think I've come across someone who chops samples like you!

It's strange, while I appreciate the movement with all of the lofi beats that has come about, I feel like they all feel like they're made by the same person (even the more thoughtful ones that are more well done)

great beat!

DJDureagon responds:

The secret is to start chopping even if you don't think its going to work and then seeing what happens.

[intimate]

Seems it was a great day to creep Newgrounds! lovely beat man!

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Thanks!

[stoned age]

Monkius has a really great point!

I could see some kind of nujabes/samurai champloo in the sense that the beats really feel like they have particular scenes to go with them...more-so then most beats that I hear.

I think part of it is that you are actually very expressive with your sampling, orchestrating stuff out of your chops, rather than just mixing loops together...more-so then most beats that I hear. :D

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Thank you man!

[Summon]

So far so good! The use of the vst's have this poppy sound.

Part of me wants to say to throw some inversions of the chords here and there (like you would when making variations for chops in different loops), and maybe even some dissonance into some of the chords (Maybe some diminished or augmented chords?) to give it that more haunted feeling to match the samples.

I can extrapolate if any of that is getting into jargon territory.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Yeah I follow. The chords sound okay but not quite to the level of atmosphere the sample's got and repeat too similarly each time. I'll try to add other vsts too to break up the sameness of the tune

[Concept Plaos]

Beautiful! I had this looping for a good while!

DJDureagon responds:

Thanks for coming through jovi.

[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.
