CyrusOfNaias's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Deeper than underground]

Hmm...!

This is actually a nice change of pace. Why hasn't anyone else reviewed?

The toms needed some help, but other than that, it was a nice piece! Is it an original creation?

Gorekiller responds:

Indeed, this was just a remix of the song "Deeper Underground" by Jamiroquai. The right title is "Deeper Underground" and not "Deeper than underground". Otherwise, thanks for the review !

[Super Mario Land 2 : 1st level]

Needs Work

Granted, it was a good remix, its drum performance was too strong for my taste, and there was something missing in it... I can't tell what exactly it was, but I know that it needed something, just like mine needs to be done over.

I admit mine wasn't as long and didn't have as much originality, but I know that I'm gonna get around to re-doing it. Until then, man.

Gorekiller responds:

...I've tried to recreate the universe of this video game. I've used those power drums for the retro effect. I haven't put as many instruments as you. Thanks for the feedback.

[F-Zero GX Mute city remix 2]

Interesting

That plugin for a guitar didn't seem very strong. In fact, the bass sort of swallowed it up! It is an interesting way to view it, but only if the main melody was stronger... I would advise finding a different plugin or raising the volume on it.

But for the most part, it was decent. Nice work.

Gorekiller responds:

Thanks for the review ! I've recorded my Electric Piano Casio 1600 playing that tune with WavePad ! I hadn't any software during this time. That's the reason ! If I've raised the general volume, I would have hit the saturation level. But now that I've got a MIDI software, it will be easier to raise the volume of an instrument or in general without hitting the saturation level.

[F-Zero - Big Blue]

Not that good

This song had a lot of potential that was just wasted over the 4:08. You may as well have only had it loop once to save space.

The fact of the matter is, if yer gonna make it so dam long, mix it up, and really bring out an attractive synth, not just the same monotones. How many times did you hear the F-Zero GX song? There's more diversity in IT.

True, I haven't heard any others try this so far, but that's even more of a reason to make it shine. Granted, it's 2 years old of this review, but still...

I hope you at least read your reviews, since I can tell you don't bother responding to them.

TheGimpsta responds:

Yea I read them, it's just hard to keep up with them because newgrounds doesn't contact you when you get a audio review...

Anyway, this (like most my songs) is an Midi tuned up with FL Studio. Mostly because I really suck at matching the notes myself just by listening to the song... And like you said, this is about 2 years old, when i was still learning how to use the program.

Mabye I'll make a more diverse sounding version later on though.

Thanks for the review. =)

[F-Zero GX : Big Blue remix !]

Getting there

It's not the best I've heard, but I have to give you credit for trying a different view of the song.

It was executed pretty well, though I know you could have done better. Granted it was a while ago you submitted this, I can't help but have expected better from an F-Zero remix.

My version isn't that much better, but I can tell it's more aggressive: an F-Zero song must be more aggressive.

Gorekiller responds:

Damn ! I forget this review! Okay, I'll try to make it more agressive even thought I don't play the guitar and yes, I'll listen to yours !

[Crush Depth]

Nice

It was a lil unexciting, but for the most part the beat was pretty tight. Perhaps it's just not my style, but I kinda liked this one. The cymbals got a lil annoying right at the end of the piece, though...

Good effort for you!

[Above the Clouds (easy listng)]

Very Nice

I can say without a doubt that I like this song.
Definitely an Ambient masterpiece on your part, man, but that's to be expected of a music major! I myself know a little music theory and participate in the band at my High School with a great fervour, though my talent is still very raw compared to this. Look at my music if ya want proof! &)

[Heavy Danger]

Nice

The synths dropped in and did their jobs right. I can see a flash game with your name on it. Your choice of bass (I believe Electric SBass?) was also good for mixing things up.

You definitely must contimue with it, as it has a lot of potential. I can already come up with some add-ons.

Stargame responds:

Cool! Nah, it's the deepbass #3(I think). A flash game, eh? Maybe. I'll see what I can do with it ;)

[==(Watching The World Go]

Definitely a keeper

I liked it. It was a little repetitive, but fits its genre so well that it wasn't that big a deal. Nice work on your part.

[Jimmy goes to hell]

Hey, short but sweet

We need more of those looping songs these days.
I've made a few myself.

Anyway, although it sounded a little like "I feel sick", it was pretty clear and had those guys from DanR's "Submarine Attack" song going "it vas a nightmare" , which should be in the "Clool Stuff" section of FL Studio 5.

I liked that song, and this one, although it could use some buffering around the edges, was nice for a short. Nice work.
