nightsurfermusic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[QD] Quarter]

A little annoying...

That main line that starts in the beginning is really a little harsh on the ears. The notes you chose are really painful with that kind of high-pitched synth you chose, so i would recommend changing that. The percussion also needs upgrading a bit, the basic sort of FL sounds dont work well with audio anymore.

It needs a little work. 8/10 and 4/5.

OPQC responds:

ye i know. hehe, this is somekind of freak music. i dunno. but i'm going with the same words with you.
thanks for commenting, often!

I agree with the user below me.

It does get a little annoying on the ears at times. To me, this sounds a bit more Industrial than Trance, only because of that really heavy snare and slower, more dark progressive beat. I like the song overall though, it has a nice and clean presentation. Many of the synths you used were very interesting, yet they added nicely to the song.

So, it's not bad! 8/10 and 4/5.

WritersBlock responds:

Thanks.

[Fuby : Prelude to the world]

Cool!

This was verynicely eecuted. Reminds me of the music from TES4: Oblivion. I hate how it's short, and you should really make a longer version. I liked the strings a lot, they added a nice background ambience to it. The piano was also very nicely written and mastered, and, being a pianist myself, i know the tedious work of making a piano sound just right. You captured the perfect moment of... well, something... i just dont know what!

Nice! 10/10 and 5/5!

MrFuby responds:

Hey, thanks! That's emotions come from my dream))))

[Level 1-1 Remix]

Midi is not your work.

I have to give you a three, because Midi is not at all your work. Basically, remixing a Midi file is just putting new synths in place of the midi ones.

Make some real music.

daYoshifan responds:

I know that it isn't all my work.
But it's not that easy as you think, although I just used a midi.
What do you mean with "real music"?
In my opinion this is real music and I really don't care what you think about it.
I just have to say:
Most people here on newgrounds use a midi when they remix a song.
Think about it.
And why do you HAVE TO give me a three?
Nobody asked you to write a useless review like this, just because I used a Midi!

[Roke Nip]

2 zero's already?

I'm very sorry about the 2 zeros. Thats crap, because actually, this is pretty good. Sounds a lot like a video game track or something. Reminds me a bit of Plaid's stuff (look on iTunes) There were plenty of nice background sounds. I liked the soft bassline in the background, that really added a nice touch to the ambient feel. The glitch-like drums were also very nice, and despite this sounding like a more ambient piece, the drums added nicely to the song.

So, 9/10 and 5/5 from me. Nice work!

[Diurnal Lackluster]

Well... wow...

That was actually very nice. Despite the reviews saying that this isnt ambient because it has a beat, they dont know what ambient is. The captures your feeling perfectly, and it has a nice bunch of melody to match it. I like how it flows nicely together, despite a trance beat. I'm not sure i like the snare click too much, but thats fine.

This was very nicely done. 10/10, 5/5, download. Good job. :)

[Wasted Souls - Mjattie]

Well...

This was really good man... nnto your usual type of music, but it's great non the less.

It starts off nice and smooth, a good pad used in the background. The echo-type sound that comes in after that is reminiscent of oscillator's "Chaser." The drums come in. It is a bit glitch like, but they actually add a nice beat to the song. It's nice and slow, very progressive. Many of the pads you used are also very unusual, however they don't subtract from the song. The piano is very smoothly added, it is mastered and filtered (?) very subtly and nicely.

I enjoyed listening to this, really. It was very very nice!

10/10 and 5/5! (i would appreciate it if you reviewed one of my songs. :])

mjattie responds:

I'll definitely will review one of your songs. I really listened to a couple of yours waayy to many times.

about the piano: it's mastered and filtered yea. (the wonderful reason piano's) Then you can mix your own piano. They used 6 different microphones and you can put them louder and softer and EQ and master them ;)

[Bounce the night away]

Hey cool!

This was actually very nice. Despite it being a midi song, it wasnt bad. Many things fit nicely in, especially the melodies. Those were very nicely done, and they flowed together nicely. At one point, it sounded like a piano, but thats alright, it didnt worsen the song at all.

My one real complaint would be the drums. Knowing in advance that it is a midi song, there isnt too much you can do about the drums.

So, it's a good song! 9/10 and 5/5.

It was never my intention to be mean on the forums. :)

UseWisdomWisely responds:

Cheers for the crit and the 5/5 :D.

I agree with you about the drums, but I'm happy with the way they're written, just not the way they sound if you get my meaning...and the Low Tom in the chorus really needs to be higher...

Ah well, I've never played drums in my life, so I guess there's a learning curve xD.

And it's cool about the forums mate.

[Solus + SBB- Switchback]

Well obviously i fived it!

That was awesome! It started off nice and ambient. Whatever that piano sounding thing was... it was pretty awesome. I wasnt expecting such a beat, even though the genre is techno. With the ambient feel it had at the beginning, it surprised me a bit. I love 3:27 though, that was really awesome. The main melody went very nicely with the rest of the song. I liked how it wavered (maybe need a different word?) at times.

So, basically, an awesome song. Everything fit very nicely. 10/10 and 5/5!

SolusLunes responds:

That synth and melody is SBB's awesome brainchild.

I totally love it.
