Squll2's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[DJ Derrick--The Adventure (NG)]

Awesome.

Another purely awesome piece by you man, your very, very talented, so close to being completly professional in my opinion.

I really loved the sounds and how they worked together in this piece, one of your best that I have seen so far in my opinion.

I really don't have any problem with this piece apart from mabye one or two non perfect-transitions or notes, so that missed you out on your 10/10 (I'm very strict on that last point :P)

Best luck to you in the future

Yodamanjaro responds:

I use FL Studio. Thanks for the review!

Groovy-ish

This song was alright.., I really loved the hat (at the start), that was probably my favourite thing about it. but really the transitions were not cool at all and it was just all over the place, and mostly all of the sounds didn't work together, sorry it really didn't work for me.

Next time spend more time on clean transitions and sounds that work together don't just chuck in random sounds like you seem to have done here, it sounds really bad.

3/5, 6/10 Better luck next time (=

lol you serious

[On the Clouds (OLD Version)]

Sounds Nice (=

Hmm, It sounds good, but its a bit repetitive and the bird chirping gets annoying, but other then that it's pretty cool, but I can't really imagine myself walking on clouds listening to this ^^.

3.48/5 (3, sorry) 7.6/10 (8)

PuffballsUnited responds:

Yeah, I was debating cutting out the birds too. I didn't have that great of a sample to begin with. Also, when I made this song it was originally designed for a side-scroller I wanted to make. This was the sky level song.
Also, I can see what you mean by repetitive, I only used two different melodies :P

[~Thinking of You~]

Sweet Heaven

Ahh man this was beautiful and sounded so professional for it's genre, I just loved it, the effort was definatly worth while! It was awesome! I loved the peaceful sounds and they fit so well together I could never hope to come up with something this wonderful! Just perfect! You have earned my second 10/10 5/5

My only problem with it was that the intro was a tad too long (= (but thats just personal opinion) :P

10/10 - 5/5 - Happy Music Making ~Squll ~Favourited.

(PS: What music making program did you use to make this?)

AceMantra responds:

Thanks for the comment/suggestion. I'm glad you like it. ^^

By the way, the program i'm currently using is FL Studio 8. I noticed you do some D & B music. I would suggest hunting around for a better plugin if you're planning on using FL Studio. Though FPC isn't a bad drum plugin, I've seen better. Have fun, and thanks again. :)

[(-Polarity-)]

Groovy O.o

Really repetitive and those drums really did just kill it. But apart from that it was really really groovy man (= Nice work, and nice experiment!

Keep it up! But try not to ruin a song like that no matter what your experimenting with lol.

Look foward to hearing some more of your work (=

4/5 8/10 Happy Music Making ~Squll

XTriNovaX responds:

ya, i had a feeling those drums would screw it up. I just went back and fixed them.

[Fall Far]

Coolish

Even for a loop this is pretty repitive, but the rhythm is really really cool with those instruments.. but sometimes a bit random and overthetop! But still good work man!

Try making a full song using this or something like it! I would really like to listen to it! I reckon it'd be really cool if you pulled it off right (=

Reticence responds:

Mehbeh

Thanks for the review!

[Tempest of Ordnance ATTEMPT 1]

Wewh!

That was aaaaaaaawesome man, I agree the some of it does need to be rewritten the intro REALLY REALLY does, like about the first 20-30 seconds was kinda random and weird if you ask me , it was kinda all over the place , but not that bad, yeah, hard to explain!

But definatly keep that cool as synth That is just the PIMPEST sound! (=

Happy Song Writing! ~Squll

4/5 9/10

superchao responds:

Thanks for your review and input, man! :)
Yeah, originally, when we started writing it, it was inspired by the Tempest City music from the Blast Corps game for the N64, but after the intro, we kinda just went off on a tangent, which is more than likely why the intro sounds out of place and random. :P
So yeah, looks like some re-writing is in order. :)
Thanks again for your voting and review, man, I really appreciate it. :)

[Dance Aura[Dj-S]]

Funky Town

Pretty Repetitive but otherwise mint man, keep up the good work, this is truly a Dance aura

-loved the sounds they were just awesome

-loved the notes and chords together, they worked perfectly

-Didn't like the overall repetitiveness

Sacrafan responds:

Yeah, its hard not to get repetitive in trance when you still suck like me... lol.

[Fading Embers]

Love it

I love that rain effect at the beggining, and its so smooth and works well together - it soothed my headache - I loved it! (=

My problem with it is the piano loop gets quite restless at points as it seems very very repitive to me, something to work on in the future!

Look foward to seeing some more of your brilliant, beautiful classical work, please! Keep working at it, its really nice!!

Geoplex responds:

Admittedly the melody is quite repetitive. This song was much longer than i originally intended it to be.
Thanks for the reveiw :)

[Melancholy Suite]

Groovy!

Pretty cool man, a very nice production you have.

As said below me it is quite unorthadox but very unique and nice piece! Though I would more put it under a techno beat rather then a ambient song personally.

Things to work on-
To me this song was very, very, repetitive and mainly kept the same notes & chords going on the whole time - in my opinion this is the main thing to work on in the future, and it is a very, very important thing to work on.

Things I liked-

The build up and fade out of the song was really, really good and to me those are one of the most important aspects of the piece - I really can't stand people who just go BANG and then finish.

The sounds and effects worked really well together which is a super +

---------

Hope to see more of your work in the future ^^ you certainly have potential as most of the young artists on this website have, so keep up the work!

Gorgorothx responds:

Great review. Thanks for all of the points you've discussed, it will really help me in the future.
