Aeris's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[{B.A.B.} Warrior's Quest]

Been looking through your stuffz

I like the intro, definitely a great build to something epic.

Let's see, when you do the flute or piccolo trill, make sure you do a lot of dynamic changes, (e.g. fade in/out), otherwise it kinda sounds like a telephone. I do like this though, don't get me wrong, makes it sound like some kind of spy cinematic.

The choir soundfont you used, i'm not too fond of it. It sounds too MIDIish. Which isn't bad, considering it is.

Another thing.... are you using the Faithless Pizzicato soundfont? It's not too good for live intents. I could be wrong though.

Everything else is good, I like the tempo rate and how it rolls along, I'm definitely fond of the chordial structure.

Everything else is beautiful C:

blackattackbitch responds:

Much thanks on the advice for the flute trill, I'll definitely keep that in mind for my future pieces. I did do fade ins and outs on the flutes, but I'll make sure to articulate them better.

The choir was actually papelmedia, believe it or not. I should have EQed it a bit haha.

Actually I had never heard of the Faithless Pizzicato soundfont, in fact I don't believe I used pizzicatos on this song, even though I have the squidfont samples at my disposal.

You might be thinking of the cello staccatos at the end, or the dbass staccatos. I avoided pizzicato sounds because I felt that they weren't powerful enough.

Thanks for the review, I love getting feedback! Glad you checked out my song!

Reflective

A simple, beautiful piece. Perfect for reflections. When listening to this song, I see a sun setting on orange hued waters. Perfect name choice! You nailed it right on.

I can almost guarantee this is gonna get up there on the NG ranks real quick :P

Flawless,

5/5 and favorited!

[Blue Rose <3MAC09]

A smooth sound

A very nice smooth sound, but to be honest the chord progression is pretty basic, and a bit repetitive. Try adding some accidentals or something P:

Otherwise, great job, i see this has already made it pretty big in the NG society.

good job :3

EchozAurora responds:

Yeah.. I definitely need to study up on theory so I can make things a bit more complex

[Total Euphoria]

just a few things

i like the dirtiness of it, but maybe open up the mixer and do some twinking, the melody especially at 00:55 is really kinda ear piercing, i'd turn it down some. Also try some chords, it's tonic, third, and then fifth, a minor is a step and a half down. So D Major chord is D F# A, its complimenting minor chord would be B D F#. I apologize if it seems like i'm speaking down to you :d just i didn't hear any chords.

keep it up 7/10 3/5

B-e-t-a responds:

Hey thanks. I really appeciate this type of criticism. It is something I have a hard time finding in my area.

After reading your response, I have a whole new perspective on the track. The sounds are all in the red zone in places, admittedly.

If I can find the old loop files and my FLstudio I am now motovated to fix this track once and for good. Might inspire me to making music again, :)

love it

The strings ambience mix is amazing, it's like so mastered, you're gonna go far C: keep 'em coming! favorited :D

It's amazing, you just "decided" to try strings, and BAM it sounds awesome and like it was mastered. Strings usually take a while to be able to understand, but you just grabbed it by the throat and tamed it completely. Impressive, you'll definitely go real far.

Marks-a-lot responds:

Ha, I told those strings not to fuck with me and they listened. They aint goin to be takin no cookies form my jar no moe if you know what I'm talkin about! (all that was in reference to the strings.
