TeHLoY's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Semaphore's First Contact]

Epic!

Wow.... this track is.. just good. I've never really watched star trek, but, this... just plain epic.
Yep, this track is a bit soft, a lengthened version will be much better.
I just find this song lacks in drum beats, maybe some snares at some parts will work well.
Still, this is awesome. Gonna fave this..

Semaphore responds:

thank you very much TeHLoY

[Instrumental Moments]

omg.

So... calming.
Awesome ambient track you have, this really creates a great ambience for some nice event.
Pity it's a bit too short...
Still, great job on this, love the piano and strings, they really complement each other.

Semaphore responds:

Thank you very much I could write a longer version but I'm fine with this version because I let work the imagination of the listener =)

[TranceMission - The Rhythm]

Pretty good.

This song was kind of simple, if you ask me, few instruments were used.
I feel you could add on to this by adding some pads, as there was too much gaps between instruments, a pad could really help fill up these parts.
The beginning beat could be a bit shorter, it kind of made me lose interest pretty quickly.
You should try balancing low and high frequencies, seems like you did some unnecessary stuff, like decreasing the volume of the hihats when it was pretty much the only instrument in it's frequency range, maybe except for the vocals.. , and the bass seemed to interfere with the kick drum.

Still, I can see some talent in here, and I feel some constructive criticism will help you improve and avoid mistakes. So overall, great job on this song, and hope to see you improve as you keep posting more music.

TranceMission1988 responds:

Thank you very much for the input, much appreciate it! I always try to improve my work, so these comments really help me :)

[Popeye the Looper man]

Hmm..

Guitar loop?
Yea, this gets a bit repetitive after a while, you should try to add some variation. Perhaps some other instruments to be added on?

But anyway, if this were used as some sort of background music for a game, it wouldn't really matter anyway..

Try and maximize the volume, it's a bit soft, so I had to turn on my volume much louder.

Still, great loop. You have pretty good guitar skills..

SamHandwiches responds:

Thanks for the advice, I'm only posting work to get feedback and to improve :D

Yeah I was thinking of it as game music, but also I had no ideas, this was the best I could come up with. I'll keep this in mind.

[RebornX - Dying Victory]

Hmm..

I swear I heard this before....
Wait.. I did. I think I reviewed the earlier version..

I think you should remove the older version.. having two (almost identical) songs doesn't really do much..

So, on to the review.

I think the double bass part helps this song a lot.. Can really hear the emotion now..

This song still lacks certain melodies, I think adding a melody or two would help..

And honestly, I think its the violin sample that isn't that good, you should just switch it completely.. Maybe to a high pitched saw synth? They sound similar.. o.o

Still, most of the stuff from last review remains in this one, still a pretty good job on this..

RebornX responds:

Done!

[Unfortunate Truth]

Oh my god.....

Just plain awesome, really getting into me.
This can really get into commercial music, I really love this song.
Melodies really sound housey, but it goes into a trance progression halfway.

Mixing trance and house? I've seen many attempts, and you've pulled it off PERFECTLY! I mean, trance is my favourite genre, and mixing it with.... yea, this just plain rocks.

Definitely going to fave this, this is just so good. And this is going into my mp3 too.

Awesome job on this!!!! =D 5/5, 10/10, fav.

PrEmoEffect responds:

Yeah, I used to make trance, but then I realized that I was better at making house. Really, the problem with trance with me was the bass and percs. So I was like, hey? Why can't I just combine trance leads/pads and house bass and percs.

Thank you for the positive review. I will come check out your stuff, assuming that you upload, because you obviously know what you're talking about.

[songtitleuntitledREMIX]

Hmm..

I like the tune of this song.. really caught my ears when I listened to this.
It really matches the unique chord progression you used.
I don't know why, but the drum beats sound rather monotonous, it seems like its a loop again...
But the instruments chosen is great. Really matches the mood for the song.

I think I hear clipping at some parts. Maybe some better mixing should be done?

Overall, great song. Giving you a 5/5, 9/10 for this.

tehslaphappy responds:

Yeah, I'll work on that some. I appreciate this review kind sir.

[We Do Exist - Unreal]

Hmm..

I'm not really a fan of this genre, but I'm reviewing this anyway..
The progression for this song is pretty good. The rapping is decent too.
I just feel the mastering for this song isn't that good, I can hear instruments competing with each other for volume.
I think the bass you put at the beginning is a bit too harsh, you should eq away the high frequencies more or reduce the volume...
Still, this is pretty good, I really like the progression.

[Fur Harvesting Plant Disaster]

Weird...

The song is a pretty weird genre, I have to say.
Not something I'd appreciate, but maybe others who like this genre may like this..
I don't get the title. Fur harvesting plant disaster?
A (biological) plant that harvests fur?
A factory that harvests furries (wth?)
Or plants that grow fur that can be harvested?
But I can definitely see the "disaster" element in this song (not that this song is a disaster.) Seems somewhat spooky and alarming. I think this can create a mood in a movie that something bad is going to happen.

megawolf77 responds:

The middle one.

And thanks for the comment! *hugs* Really appreciated. X3

[+- Fly Far Away With Me -]

Happy....

Aw man, you've done a great job at creating this awesome melody.
The melody is beautiful, love this major chord progression. Really uplifting and inspiring.
I also really love the synths you used, just plain good. Everything from the e. piano to the bass, to the pan flute like instrument totally fits well into this masterpiece.
This song is rather simple in concept, but the simplicity really enhances the great melodies and upliftingness of this track.
I gotta say, it started out rather slow, but was awesome once it got into the main melody.
Two words: awesome job! Love this. This is soooo going into my mp3.

AikaMusic responds:

All songs have to start somewhere though :o. Thanks for the review ^^
