TreborLocke's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Northern Lights]

Software Suggestions

Some of the best software for ambience is Sonar 8 PE. I know you probably dont' have the money to dish out for it but, the software will let you get the organic sounds you seek. It's hard to be organic with FL studio :)

[fUNK mETAL]

too many nay votes

This is pretty good. Keep it up. Too many people voted this low. the ending can be a little dry at times however. Try to keep away from unneeded sounds. The beginning and middle sections were an absolute joy :)

FanceyPants responds:

its people like you that i like. Thanks i can use the info and make things better.

[Techno Beat Loop]

Connectivity

Snares are too loud and for the loop....it doesnt loop. It stops right at 00:08 with 5 more seconds to go.

[Wolf Blass]

Hum..

The end of the loop could be much cleaner. Also, try to get away from synth presets. This could be so much better if you came up with a blending variety of instruments.

[[\Comptine d' ètè Nº2 Cover/]]

Very very nice

If you performed this, I am very impressed. I just wish I could get such recording quality on my own piano ;) You might want to consider mixing this with a few electronic elements. Synth strings in the lower register would provide a nice entrancing background.

paradoxphenomena responds:

Thanks, its a great idea, though this time around I just meant to do a cover of an exceptional piece.

[DXM - Fire it Up]

Yay!

Someone who knows when to use organic and artificial electronic sounds!

tijnn responds:

Hehehe ;D

[The Changing of Time]

Cluster Chords

While I can understand what you're trying to convey, the cluster chords at the beggining are ear piercing and hold no dissonance. The overtones cause so many problems in this instance. You should practice creating organic melodies. I am noticing people have been creating synthesis or using sounds that are not intended to go togethor (Artificial/Organic sounds vs Artificial/Organic melodic content).

[Angels Fly in Cloudy Skies]

Actually..

Just too out there for me. Way too much echo for my taste. You also don't seem to know what you want, Organic sounding synthesis or, very artificial sounding synthesis. Your melodies are created for more organic sounds. Don't just shoot yourself in the foot. If you put more work into this, it'll sound just fine.

[--=/Peaceful II\=--]

Creativity is lacking

I'm very sorry but, this is too close to the original version to be given anything but a 0/0. While you may be trying to make a remix, this is a commercial grade piece of music you're doing it too. That means copyright infringement every which way.

A similar problem

I can not in all honesty give this a good rating. I wrote a review for another one of your ambiences with the complaint of that the music is so loud, it is distorted. The same applies here. I suggest you sit infront of whatever program you use to make the final compaliation and balance out the volume. This piece should be a 5 vote but, because of the poor production (the distortion of all the sounds) I have to give it a low vote.
