TeHLoY's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[DjSpazTech - Okay]

Percussive..

I find this combos of percussive melodies a bit random and out of place, and there are hardly any melodies (or even harmony) at all.
The beats sound nice. I think this would be better with some instruments.

[<:Long Way:>]

This is just great.

I can see this being used in an epic movie.. It's just awesome. Just that a damn zero bomber came by to bomb this.
Current Score
2.79 / 5.00 (+ 1.04)
Best of all, this loops so perfectly I accidentally left it on for 5 minutes straight.
Awesome loop!!! And it's pure epicness!

[Pirate of the Carribean]

Great...

I like your violin skills, you play pretty well.
But I think most people would prefer songs made of multiple instruments, as this sounds quite bland.
Maybe getting a DAW and combining instruments, (whether playing your violin live or using onboard synths and samples) will make this sound much better.

violinD responds:

Thank you for the comments I really appreciate that.

[(Piano) Crazy piano imrovis!!!]

Kind of like it...

This is one great piano improvisation, I was kind of expecting it to be some weird nonsense, but it was better than I expected.
I notice the piano recording isn't that good though, when the sound peaks, there seems to be some clipping. Something most people don't like. It's also a bit out of timing.
Another thing is that you spammed the low notes. This gives an impression that the song sounds messy, at least to my taste..
Hmmm. Overall, this improv is spectacular, I think I won't ever play as good as you.. =/

CheckMark responds:

Thats exactly what I thought too, thats why I say its not very good. but it was a first take and I haven't even messed with recording in ages. But I did get some pretty cool Idea's. I'll be sure and start submiting more improvisation again.

[R374x]

Hmm..

This loop gets really annoying, I use headphones, and such panning is kind of annoying to my ears.
This song is surprisingly simple, only an e piano playing two arpeggiated chords, and some drum beats.
I think this would sound much better if you added some more variety into the song, like adding some other instruments like pads..
To be honest, I don't really see this going into a menu screen of a game or something. It's a bit too simple for that.

[The New Arrival]

Uhh....

The beginning was great. I like how the tension built up.
But suddenly, it went on to some weird bongo beat that didn't match the beginning part at all. In fact, I wouldn't really call this techno.
This song seems to be random song ideas put together. Kind of disorganized, if you asked me.
There's nothing much going on in this song. I think adding more stuff in the background, and not repeating the same melodies over and over again will make this better.

Sorry to be a bit harsh, but this was my honest opinion.

Spartanblu responds:

I value your opinion and will try to work on that in the future.

[.=*My First Song!*=.]

Your first??

Usually, a person's first song is kind of bad. But this... is actually decent!
I mean, its not exactly like it can become the top few songs of newgrounds, but it's decent enough to be put on an mp3 player..
I just find the synths kind of sound the same, so there isn't much variety in the song.
I think you kind of overloaded the bass too, maybe you should lower it a bit by eqing the song a bit.
Still, it's unbelievable that this is your first song.

Mechwarrior300 responds:

Lol Thanks :D! Actually I did use the same synthesizer for all the melodies. I kinda wanted to give the song the same tone (and also I was too lazy to spend another hour creating another instrument). As for the bass, I think I'm in love with low sounds so I'm sorry if it overpowered everything else :)

[Idk u figure it out]

Repetitive

I find that the fact that there was only 6 patterns used, the song involved a lot of repetition.
If you gave the melody more variation by giving each variation a new pattern, I think this song would do much better.
I recommend you don't use preset sounds, like the default 4 sounds that come with fl. Go change them to another one of those samples in the fl browser.
Also, in my taste, I preferred if you varied the chord progression a bit. This makes it sound less repetitive.
Still, I like the melody, it'll make an awesome song if you redid this.

Darkfire96 responds:

Thanks for the awesome review. I actually did use another pattern for each melody, but it varied so little, its hard to see. The snare and clap were ok, but the hihat probably stood out to you. The kick i used wasnt default though. Its a friend's kick. If i EQ'd it you would here the difference. I might change the chord progression, but ill have to see of i can change something like that since Im far enough in the song. Nice to know u liked the melody though. I guess i might, but it depends on the time i have. Thanks again for an honest review!

[-AEF- Insulation]

Hmm..

Hmm.. I find the bass a bit too annoying. I don't know if you did that on purpose..

I like the melodies that you put into this song. =) Great synths too.

AetherFlaer responds:

Sorry you didn't like the bass, lol I didn't make it annoying on purpose, but i'm glad you liked everything else!

["Belive" - Etalo]

Beautiful...

This has to be one of the best trance songs I have ever listened to, I don't know why but at one point of the song, I nearly cried.
This song really evoked a feeling of hope and happiness in me.
Though, the beginning is quite long and repetitive. It takes some patience to get past it. :/
Great work, etalo! Gonna listen to your other tracks. You've earned a place in my favorite artists list.
