TeHLoY's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Blokk]

Decent?

Honestly, the vocals in the beginning were unnecessary. Most people here just love to get into the best part, not listen to some really long intro that most people would just drop a zero when they get bored of it.
The beats you used are kickass. They really rock. Honestly, this should be put in the DnB genre, not ambient.
Kind of like this song. That is, after the intro. The panning effects weren't necessary either, but that's just taste.
Great song!

pehmeningsoe responds:

Merci!

I can agree that to the most the intro is somewhat unneccesary ; )
I would like to go deep here as in explaining myself as an artist and what is to me to make a music and why, but i would rather debate it over IRL. ; )

Sincere thanks for the comment!

[A Hallow's Eve Tune]

5 days late...

Yep. This came late.
I like the background synth effects you used, they add a spooky feeling to this song.
The melodies you used also help depict a really "halloween"ish mood. Not too happy, not too sad and somewhat spooky.
Honestly, you could have made the synths more airy and distant, possibly by adding some heavy reverb. Some ambience wouldn't hurt too.
Still, this is a pretty decent tune. Like the mood this gives. Especially since it's night right now. *shivers*

Spartanblu responds:

Thank you, i shall experiment more with the reverb...

[Times Are Changing-Piano Solo]

Sad?

I can feel some expression in this song. It does convey some form of sadness. I just find the piano did not become too dramatic. Make use of the piano's wide dynamic range and pitch! Utilize it to add drama to your piece, like pressing loud, low notes at really sad parts, or the twinkly highs for special effects.
The playing wasn't consistent though, I can tell you your playing isn't totally refined. I think this is related to the rather fast tempo you used. This would sound much better if it were slower, much more emotions will go through.
Overall, i like this song. Great piano solo.

DJ-Corey-X responds:

This was a freestyle piece, basically played the piano as I went. If i was to actually compose a piece it would have these elements. Thanks a lot :D
Peace

[Demonic Vulcan Core]

Hmm.

This song is pretty decent.
Melody wise, i like the melody you used. Does seem to fit.
The drum rhythms are great too.
I notice the mixing is a bit off. The main lead is a bit too loud. It seems separate from the rest of the song, and does not blend in with the other instruments. This gives me the impression that you just used drum loops instead of creating it yourself.
Overall, great song. And be sure to edit the volume of the main synth before you use it in the game.

DJ-Corey-X responds:

Will do thanks a lot :)

[Timeline (dance & dance)]

Love the beat.

You've done a great job in creating a nice beaty tune.
I really love the beat.
Everything fits perfectly, the sweeps, the synths... I really like it.
But I somehow find that the song somehow lacks energy, can't really point out why..
Still...
Great job on this song!! Really like it.

Airprogressive responds:

thanks mate! your support is welcome!

[-( Sleep )-]

Repetitive?

Its just a wow-ow-ow sound playing again and again.
Does not really interest me, even though it is a loop.
Maybe you should try to add some other melodies to it, the progression itself is decent. Some melodies will really enhance this song.

Tykwa responds:

Thank you for your input and opinion, I have created what I have wanted however, And it's not just simply an wow-ow-ow ;), Love filter with automation combined with a layer of sytrus and 3xosc with automation aswell.

Other than that, Pretty simple, And spent about 15 minutes on it, But I am content.

(But your review is not useless, Have no fear)

[+- Tales Of Destiny -+ [F]

Oh my god...

You seriously already have a fan club.. such a high vote.
But really, this song is great. It's as though a dj had mixed some of your songs together, but better. I mean, the melodies smoothly flow from one song to another.
Love this song. It's impossible not to favourite and song that has melodies of many songs on already like.
I notice mixing is a bit off. Some instruments are too soft. You should mix while your ears are fresh, take a break before mixing. But you're going to fix that, aren't you?
Wooo! Go azurevixen and f-777! Two awesome artists = one hell of a good song! Great job!
Faved, 5/5 10/10 and downloaded. (Do tell me when you upload a better version, i will redownload it.)

AikaMusic responds:

Thanks :P and yeah the 320 kbps one will sound much much more clear. I'll have it within a day :D

[~Alfa~ Sunrise (Demo)]

Hmm..

Great tune. I can tell it will make a great song once it's done.
It has a great progression..
The main sawtooth pluck got a bit annoying, for it was replaying the same melody again and again.
Honestly, this was a bit overcompressed, I'd rather listen to a song that is at a lower volume than one that one just tossed a compressor or a limiter on the master track.. But hey, this isn't finished yet, so maybe you'll finish it up.
9/10, 5/5.
One star less because of the the fact that it isn't finished yet.. And maybe because it was too repetitive.
Will look out for the finished version.. =D

aliaspharow responds:

I totaly agree with the fact that its too repetitive. I had just noticed that major issue right after rendering it. Its way more epic now that ive changed that.

Fixed it!

[DJ Pygme - Live Today [fixed]]

Beat-y..

Love the way you created a really nice beat to this song. Really sounds happy..
The kick could be a bit more punchier.. I think I can hardly hear it.
There seems to be massive clipping at certain parts, I'm not sure if you did it on purpose..
I really like the melody, but there's nothing much unique about this. It seems like just another newgrounds song, due to the use of a really common chord progression (I always say if one wants to use that, make the song sound more unique)
Overall, great beat. At least I have something good I can dance to. =D

*Aw man.. I can't stop being critical.. o.o This song is actually very good.. I just suck at saying it. *

DjPygme responds:

hahaha :) I aprecciate the time you took to make a good review and I like constructive critics, so really thanks! ;)

[Chimy727 -Crystal Dreams. DEMO]

Great song!!

Distortion? Don't really hear any. I think it's the limiter on the master track.
I just love the pads you started the song with..
At 1.25, I think you should really split instruments up. Don't put too similar sounding instruments together, and eq off the bass of high pitched instruments, and the treble of low pitched instruments.
And this song could do a melody. The beginning is a bit boring, but maybe that's just the buildup.
Anyway, good song you got there. Love it..

Chimy727 responds:

thanks dude for the great review!
:D
