VeXillum's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[ProgressiveT2ndtry(Edit)]

i'm diggin this but...

Some of the percussion samples like the hat and clap in my opinion should be changed to something else. Either that or modify them to feel more blended with the song.

The new instrument you have at 1:32 has a few notes that don't match with the key of the song.

Otherwise I had a great time listening to it. I really like the bass line melody and first buildup is very trance-like. Great stuff, keep up the good work

thunderboi2 responds:

Working on a new version as I type. I am editing the clap and replacing the hat to give it a more natural flow into the song. I am also modifying the instrument you mentioned. A new version should be up before the weekend ends. Thank you very much for your advice!

YOOO

Thx for the dedi. I'll 5 that. Ur gettin much better I haven't heard ur stuff in a while.. ur next step as a producer is mastering the mastering hehe... and watch the clipping on the instruments.. remember the original mix shouldn't go over 0db.

Elph responds:

Thanks, Mastering is hard though :(

I guess i will figure somthing out :)

[~Elph~Nexus (mastered)]

cool

its good stuff nice melody.. and prety cool quality apart from the kick. anyways it was rly good and i liked it and the ending. it would have been better if it was structured more like a full song.

5/5 cuz ur gettin better.

Elph responds:

ha thanks bro, be sure to keep me updated when you get some new stuff up :)

[[my minds' eye]]

very nice

you did a great job at taking a music genre that usually always sounds the same and making it your own unique piece. I enjoyed all the experimental sounds u threw in there great job ;). I'll make sure to stop by every once in a while to listen to your new stuff. I have 2 new songs Mirage and Forget (Piano). both use the same basic chords and melody but they are 2 different styles. check em out when you have time :). keep up the good work. ciao

[Ambient Lounge]

sounds good

rly cool and chill. about the question u asked me on the PM. the little block ur going through is normal. just take a break from makin music. dont even try to make up little melodies in ur head. check out my new song called Mirage. Thats what I came up with after a long block like ur goin through.

Skylence responds:

alright thanks, and ill check it out :)

[Warehouse Rave]

Had fun listening to it

I had fun listening to it. the snare that came in later on was way too apparent though turn it down a bit. the thing at 1:15ish is cool. I think once u figure out how to get the hang of this music you will do a good job.

Oh I'm gonna upload a new trance song tmrow (finally another trance song) haha and also an acoustic cover of Avenged Sevenfold - Dear God

Skylence responds:

hey thanks. and im working on my musical flow.. like you talked to me about before. its getting funner =]

ill have to check out your trance song =p

[celloviolin thing]

Alright

Nothing special.. some notes clash every now and then.. at 0:48 it gets pretty bad and the notes clash a bunch. Overall the violin part itself is cool though. the other instruments need to be changed a bit note wise.

mneten responds:

thanks for the ideas :) i agree the notes do clash in places, the high end can get especially piercing with the piano thing and violin squeeking away... its definitely a work in progress though... whats up here was from the first 20 minutes or so of toying with it. i still feel like its a bit of a step up from all my other crap though ;)

[[DH] The Return of Glory]

nice

This is a very nicely written piece and I love the melody, but its just not complete.. its missing many instruments. up your virtual orchestra to twice the size ;). It will be perfect.

DarqueHand responds:

That'll be my next project :)

[Pneumatic]

Not bad

Ur good at makin melodies and throwin down a quit beat. but there is no sequential flow to this song.. just seems like loop after loop. when instead each section should flow musically. and the EQ levels are exaggerated and the volume levels clip. I'm gonna super criticize all your songs on this NG account. But I do it outa love ^^. keep workin hard :)

Pneumatic responds:

ya i seem to be having problems with makeing actual songs =[ i like makeing the melodys though. i think i might be looking for a partner for more advanced music making =]

[A Silver Kiss]

Very Very nice

This is honestly one of the best compositions on this site. there are a lot of good songs.. but musically this one is just superior ^^ great work. Smooth transitions. superb choice of instruments. The instrument used at 2:10 remind me of an old song i made... now I just need to find it. what do you use for the bass?

Kr1z responds:

The bass was made with Nexus.
Thanks for the review!
