BigRed's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[RetVox/Murdaa - This or That]

Word

I want to eat that bassline, it's great. Good job on the collab yo!

RetributionVox responds:

thanks a lot, big red. :D

[EX!!! - Limbo (Big Red)]

This sounds heavenly

First of all I really dig the drums. They've got this lagging feeling to them, as if they're kind of restrained and it fits my flow here perfectly. I think you're choice of drums here is going to influence how I use drums in my future beats, haha.

The sample, heartbeat, monitor beep, etc all work together devinely. I'm really pumped on this mix man, muchas gracias for putting it up!

EternalXIII responds:

Nah man, thank you for putting out the acapellas! I wish more people did it!!! Rappers can always grab my tracks, but it's a bit more complicated when I want to get acapellas.

I'm glad you liked it! I've been dying to use that drum sample for a while now. When I dropped it on the pella I was like bingo! xD We should collaborate soon! I should have my new computer in a week or so, so I'll be itching for a nice project! :)

[GSG - Where To Go]

And chill for desert

Sounds good man, a nice groove. I think I'd clean up the vocal samples a bit, it's a bit overwhelming when they come in (they still sound good, but hey!)! I think that's a slide guitar too, and that be a nice touch.

GunstarGreene responds:

Thank you. The vocals were the last thing added to the track and I uploaded the 'unfinished' track abruptly to get some new music on my page. Def a guitar played with a slide, although it's sampled and not recorded.

[Big Red - Coma - Dureagon]

Word to your speed!

The beat sounds sick. I think it could use some quick equalizing with the vocals though. I like to pick a few mid/high spots and raise the vocals there by ear. Then I find overlapping instruments and lower the volume them on those frequencies. Haha, I'm still digging the beat as I listen to this :)

DJDureagon responds:

Thanks. I fixed it a bit. it may need some more tweaking. Make more accapellas its fun to make projects to them.

[-GM- Cricket]

Good shit

This is great man, solid flow. It could be more insipid though, gotta work on the insipidity.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Thanks man, yeah I'll try to crank up the insipidity a notch next time.

[16 Bars of Heat by P.]

Nice and grimey

I like it. Too much reverb on the adlibs I think, it was kind of overwhelming. But yeah, sick 16 bra.

P-Balla responds:

Well theres no reverb at all, it was probably just the mic and the room I was recording in which gave that effect . I know it sounds like I'm just making excuses, but I usually record with a very high quality studio condenser mic and in a room with treated acoustics. People I know from way back on NG were telling me that they hadn't heard anything from me in a while so I just posted up a 16 to show them how much I've evolved lyrically. The purpose was 100% just to showcase 16 bars, not to make a full track. I'll make sure to throw you a link when I do have tracks completed though.

[.Unsilenced]

Noice

Man, the flow is reaaaaaaaaaallly on in the first paragraph. The adlibs are perfect. Couple messy parts after that where the flow wasn't on just as hot, but on the whole I dig the track. I'm going to hit you up soon with Newground's first cypher track, it's gonna be sick with a lot of MC's on it! PEAACE!!!!!!

Murdaa responds:

Yoooo!!!! Ive always wanted to do that.. but beef always got in the way.... I am so wit it!! xDD

[EmptyStreetsFt. Finess3,BigRed]

Yeeeeeeeeeeaah

Great track, glad I got in on it. This goooes on ruhpeeeeeet!

Murdaa responds:

yeahh mann! was great havin yu on it broskii

[[E7] Walk on Clouds (prod. SH)]

Flow is sick

You've got a lot of wicked verbal shenanigans going on. I would say work on the quality of recording so we can hear it better. I feel like it could use compression and equalization. Mess around with the sound of your vocals and how they fit in the mix. Shoot a PM over if you ever need a second opinion :)

Good track though, you should post lyrics!

GloineFiodh responds:

Lyrics posted, fingers cramped.
And yeah I've got something I'd like you to take a look at eventually.
I'll shoot you a PM when it's close to completion.

[SH - Mr. Jones (BigRed) Remix]

Sounds sick

I really dig this beat, epic and chill. I think the vocals sound a bit mashed with the track though, might want to do a tad bit of equalization and I personally would drop the reverb down. Regardless, this is still a tight track, I really dig it! Thanks for doin it!

shaggyhaired responds:

Thanks man, and I agree with what you said.
I can't mix vocals at all :(
