X-TERRORIST-X's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-Voluble- [MAC 2008]]

Good Song

I really liked the whole feel of it, it moved slowly and with a continuous rhythm that you nailed perfectly. There are no troubles with the structure either, everything seemed to go together.

Something you could do more with this song is make it shorter. Because to be honest is had a good sound but about halfway through I got a little bored, there was not much variety.

Overall, this was a great listen though and I'm glad you asked me to review it. Sorry for just getting to do it now though because I just got back to my house.

Gloudas responds:

Cool thanks for the review.
And you're right, it does get a bit repetitive, but as I attempted to utilize few instruments as much as possible I found it difficult to avoid some repetition. Glad to hear you liked it though :D

[Bass Loop AL]

Very Good.

For your first attempt at creating music. I thought it was catchy, and a nice break from some of the shit I've been hearing today.

You incorporated a small, but nice, variety of instruments that work for the best. The bass was the most important part of this song, and it is also where this song is at it's best. Setting the tune for the whole loop.

I hope you make more music in the future, because this submission shows that you have the talent to create some good beats.

AoLun responds:

Thanks! I wasn't very sure if there would be many people who would actually like it. I'm working on a new song right now, and i'm hoping it'll be better than this one. Really appreciated the review! :)

[Tell Your Mother]

Horrrible.

I won't tell my mother about this song, because it is lacking in both humor and originality. You have no talent if this is the best you can produce. I'm disappointed.

Since this is my 19th review of the day, and am feeling good and generous since this was the last song on the list, I'll award you a pity 2.

Don't take it for granted.

KlanMaster911 responds:

This is not the best I can produce..

I simply trimmed this clip out of a half assed song I made.

Thanks for the two points though.

[Dont Listen To This Song!]

Good.. I think not.

Most of the instruments and sound you put in here sounded as if you threw them in at the last minute. And that you spent little to no time trying to perfect your work and make it flow into one piece.

Way to random, not catchy, not worth a second listen. Some of your other audio is very good from a quick review, so I'm guessing that this was just a side project you did when you were bored.

I'll keep my soul.

KlanMaster911 responds:

You are right..I did throw this stuff together at the last minute..

The problem was finding the right effects..

Thanks for the review.

[Soul Summon]

I will not sell my soul

It did not sound, how should I put this "demonic" enough for me to sell my soul. In fact, at parts it sounded robotic. The opposite of the dark, miserable images you are trying to get us to imagine.

On a positive note, the bass was very good, and even made me headphones shake! This was not enough to bring this song up from the score of 5 I am going to award it.

I just wasn't feeling enough of what you were going for.

KlanMaster911 responds:

I should have tried harder..Oh well.

But yeah as for the bass.You should thank my crappy EQ settings and mic cupping.

[Song of Storms (Windmill Song)]

First Work.. Really?

You must have had some practice before hand, and this is just your first submission to Newgrounds because it sounds like it was done by a person who has plenty of experience.

The transitions from one segment to the next were flawless, and the whole thing got stringed together nicely.

I think that the sound you incorporated at 1:12 was not good, though. The song fits perfectly, until that sound comes in and gave it a whole new feel to it. I suggest you take that out, and maybe stick to the same sounds you were using the whole song. Maybe just a little variation in rhythm.

If this is really your first work, it blew me away on those grounds. And as a final product, it was very good. It could just use some improvement.

Expectrum responds:

Yes, I do have plenty of experience in music. In fact, I've been studying it for 8 years now (piano as my instrument, and recently clarinet too). But I never tried writing any arrangements until now :)

Well, that part you are talking about IS supposed to give it a different feel. It's like a moment of stress and anxiety... if you've played the game, it'd remind you of when the guy that plays it goes crazy, lol. I personally like it.

Thanks :)

[Ex Nihilum Remix]

Great Bass

I liked this entire song, especially the bass. The whole thing was just very catchy and well put together. For the beginning of the song I had to turn my volume up because it was so damn low. That's an easy thing to fix though.

My second complaint, is that for some places the symbols really felt out of place. Like they were thrown in there just to give your song a little more spice. Which normally works, not just in this submission in my opinion.

Overall though, you did a great job on this song.

BudGPStudios responds:

Thanks for the review. The beginning is meant to be quiet, but if it sounds that odd, I might consider fixing it.

[Beach Melo Remake 2008]

Catchy

Beat was kind of cool, however, it got annoying after awhile. Would be good in a madness-type flash. Variety was a nice touch as well, one beat wasn't used for too long.

You have some potential, only thing I would adjust would be to not build up without producing. The begginging had me in that "Something big's going to happen!". But than all I got was a piano part.

Keep working at it, because overall this song was very good. In fact, I'm going to add it to my favorites. These were just some slight things you can adjust.

I'll be keeping an eye on your work.

FlamingFirebolt responds:

Madness type flash? Then i would suggest more upbeat and dare i say more aggresive songs. Maybe DnB. To be honest, the most stereotypical madness song is probably that one from paragonx.. Wait one!? ah nevermind.

There wasn't much beat variety. So i don't know what you exactly mean. :P

'' The begginging had me in that "Something big's going to happen!". But than all I got was a piano part. ''
That's what intro's are about, keep your audience waiting for more. Well i messed up the whole intro anyways.
Thanks you favorited it. Maybe there will be more songs in this style ( kinda harddancy ).

[Mastermind: World Conqueror #4]

Very Cool

I really like this submission. It sounds like one of those loops that would be on the home screen of like a star wars game or something. More variety in the instruments would improve this, because after around the 2nd loop it starts to get boring.

On another note, the bass and the overall beat here sound like something I would use if I were making a futuristic strategy game. I'm going to favorite it.

Keep up the great work on the audio / flashes!

The-Swain responds:

Honestly, if it sounds a little boring after a few times then mission accomplished :) This loop is actually a break from the more energetic game music, as I needed something simple between high-intensity songs to kind of give the player a break from it.

[Windstorm]

Powerful

One of the best Techno songs I have ever heard on Newgrounds. The intro really got me into this song and the drums and other effects really kept me interested. You outdid yourself with this song.

Thank you, I hope to push myself even further in the future :)
