nal1200's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-=LJC=- Tribute]

Not my style, but is good.

This reminds me distinctly of Metroid-esque music, which I believe it would be perfect for. Musically.. the lack of a real melody really drains the piece. Basically, it would be perfect as background for anything sci-fi, or scary. Keep it up.

LJCoffee responds:

Thanks Nal,

I appreciate your review - especially since you said that this really wasn't your thing. Wow - you really hit hard on the Diversity score :)

[Field - Magic of Sheharaz]

Love it!

Good song, nothing else need be said.

DarkValentine responds:

yeah, this was the only music i liked in this game, besides the theme music. as you said it. nothing else needs to really be said on this track. it's simple enough.

Thanks.

[F-777 (TRIPLE DIAMOND TRACK!)]

Too short!

This is a good song, but you should definately add on to it and resubmit it. Keep it up!

F-777 responds:

I might do that someday. See ya later.

[Kazakhstan]

Original

This was a pretty good, diverse piece, the only problem was that some of the riffs seemed to be too loud, and were causing some major distortion on my speakers. That normally doesn't ever happen, but who knows. And shouldn't this be an ethnic "middle-eastern" song, if it's called Kazakhstan?

Suspended-3rd-Chord responds:

Thanks man! appreciate the listen.

I dont know whats causing the distortion, it does sound fine on my computer, unless played in windows media(which seems to distort 95% of music)..sorry about that.

and I don't know what you mean in your last sentence...it is an ethnic middle eastern sounding song..:O

anyways, much thanks

[F-777 "Entranced"]

Hm

This one just didn't really catch my attention.. It's very well written, but myself personally was not attracted to it. Good nonetheless.

F-777 responds:

Thanks. Ya some people i know really dont like this style...oh well.

[F-777 "Deep Blue Water"]

I enjoyed this

This has a lot of potential. The one thing I would suggest, if you were to remix this, would be to add a double-timed section.. I can see this big roll to a very rich chorus, you see where i'm going? Anyway it is good, keep it up!

F-777 responds:

ya ya i see what you mean...wow ya never thought of that...

Thanks man!

[Piano in the Storm]

Wow

Why did you stop here?? This is a very good riff, I had a million things come to mind when I was listening to this..

Please expand on this idea, i'd like to see what you come up with

hellsmaw18 responds:

its hard to find some good piano instruments to go along with the acidjazz piano loop.

[SAMPLE Flying Thru the Clouds]

Good start

This is a good start for a piece I personally believe could be very, very good. The intro may need some remodeling, maybe a different drum beat? This would build up to the climax, which, though right now is the synth brass, could probably also be some upper octave synth. Catch my drift? Add some sololeads after the synth comes in.. maybe 8 measures or so, then go with that, add some variations etc. It would also be really cool to add some stereo synth for a break after some choruses. I hope this helps, it's kind of a complicated explanation, but if you need some more detail just message. Overall, good start!

hellsmaw18 responds:

thanks, i do have different drum beats, but the one that is best fit i have leading up to the next loop. i didnt want to make the intro drum loop too long or it would get boring. but i left the drum and synthpad loop go for some time so i had the opportunity to go through and listen for matches within my loop library. thanks for the advice thou, ill definately look over it time to time for ideas for this track and in the future :)
