Bitbeak's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Backpacker adventures]

Lovely and pleasant like usual :D

[I Wrote]

Liked the vocal treatment on this track, it gives it a good pop from the instrumental.

Also love the vibe of whatever reversed..ish sound you've got playing during the bridge portion, it's a gorgeous little moment.

floorboardofficial responds:

Thanks man! That’s the ukulele track that’s reversed. And glad you liked the vocals!

[Drifting]

This one's lovely, the lyrics match wonderfully with the instrumental. It's like being adrift for a couple of minutes.

floorboardofficial responds:

Thanks for the feedback, Bitbeak! Much appreciated!

[Apart]

Poppy isn’t inherently a bad thing. I think I’d be more inclined to nit pick that it’s a bit one note. Like the singing is mostly in the same tone (especially on the chorus) and the instrumental is similar in that regard.

That said, the production is really, really clean. It’s a nicely made track overall and you handle the transitioning from part to part well.

floorboardofficial responds:

Yes, it is horrendously monotonous! I don’t think I even knew what dynamics were back then hahaha. But hey I appreciate your compliments on the production! And you’re right, poppy isn’t inherently a bad thing, but boy do I cringe at the songwriting nowadays. Thanks for giving it a listen though, and big thanks for the feedback!

[Under the Goldstar Pt. I]

Instrumental’s got a strooonnngg death cab vibe. I’m not the biggest fan of the vocal treatment but that’s just my taste I guess.

Lyrically and thematically, I’m a fan. It’s a pleasant sort of longing i get from it.

floorboardofficial responds:

Thanks for the feedback! I did figure that the vocals on this would be a hit or miss kinda deal. Some people seem to like it, others not so much. I was aiming for a robotic feel to promote a sense of dissociation, but there are better ways to do it (over dubs, high-rate phasing, tape effects, glitch effects, etc). This was essentially my first song though, so I just didn’t have the production arsenal at the time. But hey, I certainly won’t complain about a death cab vibe, and I’m glad you enjoyed it thematically hahaha. Thanks for listening!

This is such a cool ride. Love the twists and the chillout sections have such a nice space to them. Simultaneously calming and manic.

[Happy]

Love this tune, man :)

Great lyrics and singing too man, really emotive.

[Wow You Made It!]

A little busy maybe in the high end, but I do really like how you handled the break in the middle. It's got a nice up beat and triumphant kind of tone to the whole thing.

JamesHeart responds:

yeah its kind of messy... I was testing my Moog Theremini and this was the result of a jam session using it

[Samael]

Interesting hearing some of your older stuff. Kinda groovy. Really like the combo of textures when the two guitar parts come together towards the latter half.

Also, Soundcloud is garbage haha

popolamusic responds:

It sure is. Did you know it's cheaper to put all your music on every distribution platformer known to man than it is to buy a month of Soundcloud Premium?

[Please Help Me I Can't Get Past The Character Select Screen!]

Groovy little track, the synth loop sounds right out of the Sonic and Tails soundtrack.
