50Steaks's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[QTZ]

Ok I checked your old account because I can relate to losing an old account; happened to me twice over the past... almost 3 years. I found that you once tried to make music but gave up because the “site” you used was garbage. I’m beginning to see the backstory here. If I could give a recommendation, I’d recommend getting some actual software to produce your... audio... I’m sure it would turn out far better than stuff like this. Judging it as a song, it is not very good. Judging it as audio, it’s audio. I could say that any objectively baseless song on newgrounds is good because it’s audio and not music; obviously newgrounds doesn’t say “upload audio” to literally mean any audio file, although that is technically allowed don’t expect it to be well received. These are just my thoughts, don’t take me too seriously( I have no idea about the inner workings of the site or anything

Edit: to your reply I said “...audio...” in response to you saying on my first review ever on your songs that it “wasn’t meant to be music”, this also explains why I said “judging it as audio”. Also I literally said at the end to NOT TAKE ME SERIOUSLY no I wasn’t trying to insult you and no my review on End was not sarcastic I actually can see artistic intent behind that song. In terms of how to improve... I don’t know, how would anyone know? I just randomly found you on the audio portal and didn’t know what to expect going in. Also also, I only left this specific review on this song as more of a general message than review the song, but didn’t want to sound confrontational with a DM.

first of all, I didn't lose my old account, I switched because i sure as hell wasn't gonna pay to change the name. I don't remember "giving up", but the site i was using *back then* was terrible. what I'm using now is fucking amazing (to me), although limited. I literally just started making music, and I'm comfortable with what I have. most programs I have used are frustrating and confusing. I can make my music however I want to make it, and just because its shit doesn't mean what I'm using is shit, its that I don't have practice. also, you say "judging it as audio" which means i assume you don't think this is meant to be a song. I tried pretty fucking hard on this one, and you just telling me it isn't good without telling me how to actually improve is kind of insulting. don't expect everyone to be a musical genius.

edit: when reading this over again, i noticed what you said about my music around the middle of the paragraph. "getting some actual software to produce your... audio..." this feels like the goal was to insult me. not even calling it a song, or music. if that was your goal, then go fuck yourself. if you WERENT trying to insult me, then i wanna know why you said it that way.

[Shepard’s tone]

This was a joke song because I stopped taking my own account seriously. Actually what happened was I watched a YouTube video about Shepard’s tone, and so tried to make a beat out of it. Then I gave up and made the lousy ending it has now, since Shepard’s tones aren’t supposed to end. It’s just not a good sign for the future of this account to see this as my most recent post.

Holy hell I think this might be the worst song I’ve ever released.

[Dopamine]

But how do you even produce your...... audio?

Silios-Desai responds:

soundtrap, its a free web-browser synthpad kinda thing that also has a paid version.

[oooooooooooooooooo]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
This isn’t actually that bad

Silios-Desai responds:

imo its pretty bad, definitely one of my lazier songs. i would recommend you check out QTB and QTZ, those ones are... better?

[End]

Interpretation of this song:
I am quite impressed with how you styled the song to make it sound like a young child was playing it: it’s honestly creepy that it doesn’t end on a resolving note to finish the chord. I listened to some of your other songs but this one seems to have abstract meaning, similar to modern art, that only those who are familiar with pieces of art like this are aware of. Masterpiece (assuming I’m right and you didn’t just play and record a xylophone lol)

Silios-Desai responds:

lmao

[Untitled song]

Modern version of baronvonbadguy

Silios-Desai responds:

not really but alright. i wouldnt recommend judging me on this one since i stopped caring at around 00:40.

[HeLLCat - Attractor Fields]

Atmospheric. Love everything before the “emotional height” when mixing begins to falter. Instruments are good up until that point as well. Really nice progression, but could use more of a theme. Overall, good job!

HeLLCat120 responds:

Thanks for the feedback

[Polux]

“You were on the verge of greatness, you were THIS close!”
The beat is the best part of the song by far. The melody could use some variety and the instruments aren’t super amazing. The song lacks a drop, as a dubstep song it should include dubstep somewhere lol. Good job though

FJOB responds:

What gender do you think it is?

The structure of the song is actually pretty decent. However it ends suddenly. The instruments themselves are good, what’s not so good is the melody. The melody is missing *something*, I’m not sure but it doesn’t feel as jumpy as it should.... I’m not making any sense am I. But definitely make a sequel to this or a VIP because it has a lot of potential to be great.

Ok thank you alot I will take all this into consideration for my next release/remake :)
