SoulRed12's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[(Quasi-8 Bit) I Confide]

Ooh

Really nice. Doesn't sound exactly 8 bit but more so than some of the attempts others have made (Oh, I see you mention this in your comments).

This reminds me of a game I played a long time ago but I can't think of it...ah well. Great stuff.

midimachine responds:

Thanks dude. Yeah I wanted to make sure it was absolutely 100% clear that this isn't *truly* 8 bit and neither is anything else I do at the moment.

[BTDD - Roper's Rally (Stage 3)]

I like it

It's a nice beat with some unorthodox drum riffs. I'd like to hear the drums in the background earlier on, but they do fade a little bit to give way for the piano-ish sound. Definitely a lot of atmosphere.

Very nice work. ^_^

saintedix responds:

Thanks soul, appreciate the comments.

[~K31~ Ante Meridiem]

Very, very nice

I really like what you've done here. The synth-guitar-ish sound with the piano definitely works, and the synth pad that comes in near the middle and lasts the rest of the song is the icing on the cake.

Excellent piece. Keep 'em coming.

=O I just now heard the fast ending part of the song. You just got your ninth star XD

[[DJZ] Celestial Fanfare]

Nice

Good one there.

The drum loop is pretty great, haven't heard much like it. I do have a few suggestions for it, though.

1) Lower them a little. Right now I think they take over a bit.
2) Vary them at least at some point. Make a filler, change it up when you switch parts, etc. Something to make them less predictable.

Other than that, it's a great piece. Good work. =D

DJ-Zoysa responds:

thanks! this is made a year ago, im better know ;P

yes i agree the drums are very overpowering and definitely could use with some variation and depth, it's a bit monotonous

xD thanks for the review!

[Winding path #2]

Great base

It should just be mixed a bit differently. The piano is more important than the high symbol and therefore should be louder than it IMO. Right now the drums seem to overtake it.

I'd really like to hear this piece again with those issues address, it should turn out great. ^_^

sharpapotheosis responds:

Yeah... i agree, but it's all fixed now.
Cheers

[psi-ocean]

Nice work

Not a bad piece, pretty cool in fact. Great bass, love the piano/synth-ish instrument.

I just wish the piece had some more changes in melody, etc. Even an ambient piece, if it's going to be that long, should be differentiated at least a bit. For 2:00+, 2 different parts just doesn't seem like enough.

mattdestroyerlinch12 responds:

Thankyou for your sympathy :D, i did'nt have alot of time to finish it b'cause i was using a demo software, which could'nt save my progress. I will try to make something better next time.

[A Rush Thru the Wall]

Not bad

Pretty darn good for a twenty second piece. It would certainly serve it's purpose in a flash/game/etc...

Reeez responds:

thank you for reviewing ... it's so short because a friend needed an intro theme... so I made this...

[Welcome to Paris]

Don't touch the drums

They are great. And THANK you for putting some variety, and even including a repeated theme, that's something a lot of people are forgetting to do. ^_^

I'm really really liking this song, great work.

zenodio responds:

Thanks man :D I also forget the varity many times.... This is one of the few times i actually remembered it.... Thanks again man :D

[D o W a L Reaching Stars]

Very nice

Nice and peaceful, sounds like a lullaby in a movie. If you're going to have it 5 minutes long, though, it might use a bit more variety later on...other than that, it's really really good.

Semaphore responds:

thank you very much SoulRed12

it has 4 parts and contain 20 instruments

it's a song to think =)

[Dark Synthesis]

Repetitive, but good

The song was pretty repetitive as were many others I've reviewed today. However, in this case, it's not so repetitive as to completely destroy it's worth as a background for a flash. My only advice here would be to either play it in a short time span or otherwise mix it up a bit later on.
