afliXion's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[BoFIV]

haha!

Hey man, this is great! I love the beat, the melody, the echoes, all of it. Its like, Mario 3 meets Plok. Great video game piece!

Cosmos8942 responds:

O_O I really don't know what to say to this =.=. Heh but thanks anyways.

[A Fall from Happiness]

pretty nice and soothing.

I can definetly picture rain, cause it is raining outside my house right now. heh.
Anyway, I like the way this piece flows. I would have liked to here alittle more of the celesta, and perhaps alittle more notes in the left hand of the piano would have given the song more of a moving feeling. Overall nice job!

Cosmos8942 responds:

Hmm...yeah...I see why you say that, one of these days I will go back and 'tune' the song up a little. Thanks for the review though, I appreciate it.

[Battle Theme v.100 (Bezo)]

hahaha!

Still making remixes of this! Well geez all of them are just great and this one is no exception. I say keep making them!
Check out my latest for old times sake ;)

Bezo responds:

I can't help it. I saw I had 99 songs on NG so I thought:

What better song to put up for my 100th song that my ultimate remix of my very first NG song?

[Open Mic Night (Sorta Done)]

i like it.

Pretty cool. You'd have to be drunk at an underground Rave club to do open mic to stuff like this though! This like your other stuff just needs alittle something more, more melody, more notes. I think your ready to do it.

[§§-Ryu's Theme]

nice.

I love the sounds of Ryu doin his moves and the rest of the sounds from the game. I've wanted to put those in a song of mine but I really don't know how.
The synths you used for the song were mystical, and with the sounds from the game make an extremely nostalgic atmposhpere. I think I have to go play that game now. Great work!

ShadowMan-Kage responds:

Hmmm... I checked out your Ryu's theme. It was very well done. Im surprised that it is still at the top of the boards. Then again this is a new style of music that I am using.

When I first made this song with the instruments I thought something was missing. So by adding Ryu's fighting effects and game sfx made it, like the song said, "Perfect!" Thanks for the review afliXion! Much appreciated!

[The Make Believe]

see below.

Kind of sounded like an old nintendo song.
AFter a while the instruments got old, and started to sound to science fictionish for my tastes.
Maybe you should try devoting a little more time to your music than just 30 minutes?

studio-nightbird responds:

I would love to...thing is...I only have the demo and it closes after 30 minutes. (storm studios). so I just stuck with FL Studios, but thats also a demo :(

[Moonlight Sonata (full)]

well....

The intro wasn't very well thought out. See, if you study Beethoven you'll realize that Beethoven loves introductions to his pieces. However, moonlight sonata does not have one and that is unique for Beethoven. So adding one I thought was a bad idea.
When you got to the real music part, it was way to slow, and the chords weren't exactly right.
Using the material you did for the ending really killed it, made it to strident and choppy when it should be dark and fading away.
Keep trying tho.

studio-nightbird responds:

I under stand...I noticed that jist in it to. but I've only got FL studios trial. So when i start I have to finish it in that one session. But I changed it to make it more different.
I should of called it moonlinght edit or somthing. but hey whatcha gonna do
thanks for the help full review

[Submission #1]

O yea.

This is definetly my favorite song from you.
I loved the combination of instruments. Could have used alittle more bass, but just alittle.
Great job!

BlazingDragon responds:

Thanks, it's good to know that this one turned out. This was one of my first real compositions, and apparently it is one of the better. (Beginner's luck? lol) It was my first time really going outside of piano music, so I was a little worried about it.

As always, thanks for the review! :D

[A bittersweet memory]

Again, very nice.

I will say, the quality was alittle muffled, but that doesn't effect the score I gave you cause some of my piano recordings are like that too!
Anyway, great song. You should try making some fast boss music or something.

BlazingDragon responds:

Thank you so much for the review, it is more appreciated than I can express in writing! :)

I have wrote this using Finale and at the time I didn't know how to control the reverb, so it did come out a muffled. I would fix it, but I lost the project file a while ago. :(

I'd like to try some boss music some time, but I might wait until I have the money to buy a good sound library as opposed to soundfonts. (My computer is too slow to really run Finale, so I could use a better computer too. >.<)

Thanks again for the review, I really appreciate it!

[Sadness and Sorrow]

Very nice.

This is a very nice piece.. flowing melody and the seemless chord progressions, sounds very professional and emotional. I would have liked to hear alittle bit more of the strings, but other than that its all great. NIce work.

BlazingDragon responds:

Thanks again for the reviewage! :P I plan on going back and bringing out the strings more and even giving them some melody lines, but I think I might wait to post it till I can buy some better software and a good sound library.

Thanks again!
