Alturos's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[If I Had A Halo]

Epic

This is indeed a well written piece of music. The gated choir is perfect (it really makes the song). All the pieces really come together here to make something special.

Keep it up!
5/10

Enzer0 responds:

Thanks for the votes! One of my earliest but best sounding pieces.

[Just Play]

Oozes Awesome!

It's like 3 awesome SNES tracks all packaged into one piece of fantastic.
Great work!

5/10

Downwierd responds:

Thank you! Glad you liked it!

[Stargenx - Carze]

Not a bad song at all.

Not the best I've heard, but nothing I can find as a fault...
The AP has been a particularly harsh environment lately, but don't let that discourage ya.

5/9

Stargenx responds:

Thanks for the review.

[School Work]

Decent but disperate.

I did enjoy this song, all of the individual bits were well done but I have some criticisms.

Your drums kick in at ~:11 and it's good, they quickly pick up at ~:12 to what sounds like a lead in to something, a change-up or maybe a melodic addition (something with some power).

The problem is it never comes and these build up drums continue for WAY to long (till ~:44) where they settle down into a pattern that fits the piano and eventual guitar style.

My suggestion would be to tone it down a bit, maybe have the build up start a couple bars before the guitar begins (instead of right after the drums start), and finish off with a crash as the guitar begins. (Just a thought.)

Otherwise, it's a solid track, keep it up =)
4/8

Machine9 responds:

I just now noticed that I put build up in the beginning. When I was making this sound track I wanted to put a build up to create a drop but, I just couldn't figure out how to do it with a piano. Thanx for the imput

[Soulero - Winter's breeze]

Solid.

This is a really good track. The levels are solid and I can easily get lost in it.
My only concern is that a few of the phrases are repeated maybe a little too much, but I tend to think that's true in most trance anyway (P.S. That's where I'd put this)

All in all, solid track, keep it up.
5/9

Soulero responds:

Thanks for the review : )

[Uneven Castle]

A great bit of 8-bit work!

It's a shame people out there don't seem to appreciate it.
Kudos on the good work, keep it up!

5/10

Powerfull responds:

Oh thank you so much!! I really wish I could have more people listen to my music that were more open-minded. And I wish the people who voted would leave a comment, telling me why they did or didn't like it. Again, thanks for listening and reviewing!

[Gathering of Bards (30DC)]

Well written!

This fits the theme you aimed for perfectly.
Sounds great, keep it up =D

5/10

BlazingDragon responds:

Thanks, man! I appreciate the input. :D

[The day time went dark]

Umm, Bad Levels.

To start, the guitars sound great.
The problem is, that's all you can hear. I think there's some weak drums in there somewhere being completely drowned out.

Fix your levels, add a bassline (I'm assuming there isn't one as I can't hear it at all) and this could be a winner. As it is though... it's just sorta meh.

2/5

MoRGoT1-1 responds:

Right right you could not be more right, there is absolutly no bass in this song, the drum is weak ?? you know why ? cause the drum is a drum machine and it sound like shit that is the reason it is not that loud

but if you can't hear the drum that mean you are deaf or something , drum (in metal) is not suppose to be on top of everything else....

[Cloudy]

Good song but...

nearly a half minute of nothing but kick ... clap ... kick ... clap is only going to get you blammed here (as is evident by your early scores).

Picking things up a bit earlier would make this song a fair bit better.
Otherwise, I quite enjoyed it.

4/7

Nastycloud responds:

Gotta keep that kick bangin Bro, haha appreciate the input! Check out my other stuff on youtube, its just my style mate haha idk what to say

[Da Bloooooz]

Hmm, not bad.

I'll admit it, I was ready to hit this with a one. But then it picked up and surprised the heck out of me. The comp is solid, even if the quality samples makes me sad.

In any case, keep it up.
Might I ask what tool/format this was made in?
(8/4)

cantinera responds:

That would FL Studios 8.
:D
