xxUltimaWeapon's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Whisper (WIP)]

First thing I noticed immediately is the shaker sample. It's super loud and annoying. Definitely would tone that way down in the future. Liked the weird drunk sounding synth you used, but it sounded like you were using randomly selected notes at one point. There's some interesting ideas in here, they just could have been utilized in a much more structured manner. Don't be afraid to keep it weird, just make it a manageable weird XD.

This is pretty interesting. The composition of this song is not bad. There is a lot of room for variety, especially with the lead melody utilized by the piano. Something I have found to be rare on NG but very effective is the power of transitions. Sticking with one catchy melody does work pretty well, but don't be afraid to mix things up and bring it back to that main melody you want. If you look at it from this perspective, this entire song is based off of four chords. Again, it's not a bad thing, but it creates this repetitive feeling at times. Some samples were used well, and others could have been used better. The piano gets annoying at times because it is so short and sharp. Try softening it a little, maybe add some reverb to give it a more full sound. Some samples did not go together as well as I thought they would. Little things here and there that don't break the song, but are noticeable. Trust me, I have a lot of experience with failing at giving a song that clean sound. I think you have a lot of potential, and good ideas. Hopefully this helps you out even in the slightest. The beauty of NG is that you get feedback from people who essentially struggled through the same things you are experiencing. And I can tell you, I'm still struggling to get to where I wanna be with FL Studio, so don't let the criticism get to you. Keep it up!

Thank you so much! Your reviews have been extremely helpful.

[The Saga Begins]

I feel like I could hear this in an epic medieval themed animation involving lots of epic buildup to some brutal, impending sacrificey doom action scene, where the protagonist is gonna fight till the end for some greater purpose or something. Pretty good. I'm pretty stoked about this. Keep it up!
:D

[Creo - Halcyon]

Something tells me this is going to do really well for the contest. I'm proud to be one of your few fans! Really well done.
:D

CreoMusic responds:

Thanks very much, glad you are enjoying the tracks so far :)

[Beautiful Dreams]

I always love the unique sound you get out of the samples you use. So catchy and pleasant for my ears. I noticed some mention of a default clap sample being used... Lol I always use the default clap. Sounds pretty sexy overall. Really has that Ectisity feel to it, which is always nice. Keep it up braj! :D

[If only we could]

This was pretty sick. I was really fond of how you used that wobble bass and kept the overall feel dire. Really felt good. And the beat was really intricate. Very well done.

[~{ Chrome Killer }~]

Really digging the beat! I like the videogamey feel this gives off. And it is very clear. The mastering is well done. Keep it up!
:D

[Troubling Happiness]

Another nice track. Really enjoyed it!

[Hatred Scene]

Beautiful.
