CyrusOfNaias's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[--Shoreside--]

~:3 Hmmm~

The intro was very good, imho. I like the chord progression.

However, I think the percussion was a bit too strong there. Quite frankly the only potentially bad thing to stand out...

Perhaps if you let up on the intensity, filtering and volume, it would fit much more.

Overall, though, it felt good to listen, m8.

KrazeyOne responds:

yeah, i was wondering whether or not they were too loud. :D Thanks for the input, buddy. :D

[--Some Like It Hard--]

~:3~

It's likely just because of my taste, but the percussion I think could use some work... the claps almost sound too hard (despite the obvious intentions), but almost to a degree that would hurt the piece.

I like the buildup, though. Very nice :)
~Surge

KrazeyOne responds:

lhank ye. :D i appreciate it. :D

[--Beyond the Threshold--]

~:3~

Ah, the ol' Lightspeed Pad, that was a nice addition thar

I noticed quite a few other memorable presets, but remarkably enough, that didn't get in the way of the clarity or quality of the sound, in other words it didn't sound as cheesy as one might expect from those instruments, so that's a feat in itself

I suppose the only thing I would think of fixing here is the snare drum; it's almost too loud, and a larger amount of percussion/progression would be nice.

And yes, you conveyed the mellowness very well, that was very important ;3

~4/5

KrazeyOne responds:

well, thank you very much. :D i did get the snare comment before from a different song, so second opinion checked. thanks again for the critique. :D

[--KIRBY!!!--]

~Chaotic :3~

A nitty gritty kind of mix here, a touch of raw power. Very nice, can see it for a mixed BGM

I would say just watch out for dynamics and possible tuning issues, like I heard around 1:24

otherwise, very nice, m8 :3

KrazeyOne responds:

ah, good point, man. thanks for the feedback. i really do appreciate it. :D

[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

Aydin-Jewelz123 responds:

cheers dude :D

[.: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
~Surge

Shinosuke93 responds:

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

[-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.

[When We Go]

~Interesting~

Has a lot of potential but I think it needs more length and diversity

I would call this closer to House or Ambience as it has no defining melody and has no noticeably strong beat

Still very interesting keep experimenting :3

Thanks!
