CyrusOfNaias's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kurdmen]

~;3~

Very clear and concise, I like the beat as well. I can see this working for a BGM

Kudos, m8
4/5 ;3

cheers dude :D

[Feel Good Inc. Trance Remix]

~:3~

Liked it, although moar can be done here, methinks!
Like more dynamic changes and other mastering. The reversed crash at the beginning is great, but I thought the synth came on a bit too strong there

If yer at all interested, check mine out. I just released it today.
4/5 :3

[.:HMS:. Will Of The Spirit]

~Niice~

Hmmm very nice apps and effects here, nice Piano and patterns

However the HiHat instrument might be a little too dominating. Perhaps lower its volume a tad and bring up the Kick a tad more, other than that I find no issues here :3

Greatness

~Surge

HMS-Productions responds:

the hat was raised a bit cuz it kept getting drowned out and I wanted it to stay apparent so dunno :p

thanks for checking it out!

[PINGAS Remix]

~Dammit :0~

Do you by any chance know where I can find the alrdy ripped audio file of the "Pingas"? Perhaps we could send or something. I been looking around, no luck and I got a terrible Pingas idea I'd like to try lol

not bad improv on the "THIS VIDEO CONTAINS WIN" mash though lol

Shinosuke93 responds:

Oh, um, find the video on youtube. The original video has an mp3 file download in the more info section I believe.

[Hold Me NG Cut]

~Nice/Interesting~

The message is conveyed well through this music.

Thing is, though, it seems most of your songs employ the same basic percussion set of kick, hit and clap. The delayed and reversed claps are nice, however those are just apps and they sound almost... inadequate for the emotions yer trying to push into the song. Same thing goes for the apps to the precomputed apps of the crash hit there around (1:09).

Your music, however, tends to be a nice break from the ordinary. It just needs some fine-tuning and more diverse percussion techniques, like slicing beats

We should do a collab or something so I could show ya. I'll send PM with more

[Always Greener WiP]

~Originals~

Gotta love 'em
Other than yer other one, this one also I can tell required a bit of thinking out the box

Good effort here, perhaps requires more power though
~Surge

[Proskyneo WiP w/ update]

~Potential~

:3 Very interesting composition and arrangement

I hear a few recognizable apps and plugins too

Ah, few things
~ I would look into the Fruity Slicer and create a drum beat from an existing one in the Packs or "Used in Demo Projects". Takes the cheesy feel of those claps and kick out.

~ Have you used Fruity Reeverb in the Mixer? The synth used for the melody could use it as well as some of the the percussion

~ Transitions you mentioned, indeed. At around the first gate (0:46) the tempo transition was a bit too dramatic.. prolly could be fixed with some extra heavy percussion application and a little added length

Good ta hear from ya m8, good luck on this :3

[-ganon95- Jeopardy]

~:3~

Awsum
A lot better than my old thing lol

Gotta love the diversity and progression :D
~Surge

ganon95 responds:

lol i kinda liked yours, had a cool trumpet remix thing

[{Energy}]

~Hmmm~

Very good, but I would consider this closer to bare Techno

Kind of short and not very diverse for a Trance track, but that could just be me.. I like long songs lol

Would be good in a video game-esque flash animation or game here

~Surge

Xorberax responds:

It was a little bit confusing to choose the genre, it's sorta both.
I didn't want to make it too long, or else it would've been sorta repetitive.
