sixflab's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Xyirx - Dragon's War]

Awe Inspiring

-This was quite an enjoyable listening experience to me as I had just woken up and gone on Newgrounds. While you also gave it some depth by adding a storyline and plot that can easily be picked out whilst listening to it. It definitely has qualities of a nice progressive storyline and it comes to a definite fruition towards the end where it has a dramatic end.

-It's very difficult to be constructive and find something at fault in this song when after several playthroughs I still can't find any faults. It has a great planned out structure to it as I mentioned before and that's one of the first things that I look for when listening to something. The sound quality is also pretty phenomenal and really helps with the listening experience.

Thank you so so much for a detailed review. :)

[Guitar Partitia #1 - Romance]

Classics :)

-Wow, the length of each progression is pretty long and with only a few pauses it must be rather tiring to play this. It's well worth the effort put into it since it's done quite artfully. Not too many mistakes considering the overall length but it's difficult not to since some slippage is bound to happen from time to time.

Darkmaster603 responds:

Yea, I am really mad about the mistakes, but it's nothing that I can help. I use a cheap-o student model 100 dollar nylon string guitar, so mistakes are bound to happen. It's funny, because when I play Alvarez I notice almsot 0 mistakes, but on mine I can hear them.

Thanks for the review!

[SUIA-glock drop]

Dubstep Budday

-I like to listen to some nice underground type beats every once in a while. As X said this is quite the interesting song. The melody had an interesting electronic build and was very dynamic. The song didn't stay the same for more than fifteen seconds anywhere. While the beginning was definitely the icebreaker the song was made at about the 0:38 mark where it went into a more complicated structure.

-You say this is the final version of the song but I think you could bring some of this song elements into a future audio submission that is longer and more structured throughout. This was more of just ear candy that didn't have a real purpose as far as going anywhere.

[Arial Overveiw]

It's good

-This is quite different from the stuff that i've listened to of yours in the past couple of weeks. It's a testament to your flexibility and the fact that you can throw in some nice electronic stuff with your usual instruments.

-It started quite slow and i'm not sure if you had the first eight seconds just empty on purpose for the menu purposes or if it was just an overlooked aspect. Anyway the initial electronic melody pulses in nicely and the cymbal usage is done very well. It has a nice deep reverberation that gels with the quick pace of the melody.

-Overall it's pretty short but it sounds like it would work great for the purposes that you stated as to why you made this piece. Hopefully everything works out with your friends game and it turns out how he wants it to.

Thank you for your review =)

[Dark World Crusader (RAC4)]

Nice

-I've really come to love your use of atmosphere and feeling in song build-up and overall make-up of the song. It's great for background work and to convey feelings that might otherwise be overlooked in a sequence if it had no sound at all.

-Classical instruments are always the best for this and I love just sitting down every once in a while to listen to some classical music when i'm doing some work. It's really quite relaxing to listen to while doing work. I don't really have too much to say about this piece in particular but I liked how everything came together in the end. While it wasn't your best work IMO I did like how it ended.

popraz responds:

Thank you very much ! I too enjoy listening to classical music while working, though I must admit it's usually soundtrack type classical music. I'm also thrilled that you enjoy my work so much. I really appreciate it a lot.

[Garbage People (Jeffaro)]

Funny

-Beginning lyrics for the win. "What kind of people am I supposed to be?" In the most redneck accent i've heard in a while. It was a great way to start everything off and get the listener into a good heavy metal mood.

-While I did think the beginning lyrics were awesome the music was kind of sub-par. While there were some great riffs every now and then there wasn't anything that really was able to get me into the song(other than the solo). It really didn't help that the music quality was low and it's very low.

Jeffaro responds:

Thanks for the comments. I appreciate it. I put allot of time into this. And I do agree the music its self is kind of sub par. The music is a tad too simple even for thrash standards. I tried my best to polish those riffs and connect them into one steady road. To stay in key.

In the future I will try to add more complexity to my riffs.

Thanks for your review.

[Beyond Explanation]

Review

-I noticed you listed this as a techno song but it honestly felt more ambient-ish to me at the beginning. It made me think a little about how this was going to unfold with a beginning like that. Going on fourty-odd seconds before anything really got underway just gave it tons of build-up and anticipation to the actual unfolding of the song.

-It definitely took a U-turn once the additional melody was tacked on there. The pace increased dramatically while also bringing up the tone of the song. Which is why I think the build of the song was quite interesting. Almost the entire song was building blocks that you just kept stepping up and up. Eventually the song came to a plateau though.

-While sitting up on that plateau I would of liked to see the song change more than it did. You added an additional melody but it kept the same pace and tempo the whole time. Having some sort of break would of been great before you came to the downturn at the end.

[Kaskade-Dynasty [RegicidalMix]]

Good Remix

-Aww shucks, I somehow managed to get to this one day after the contest voting ended. Like three hours past the 15th to be exact which dissapoints me since I would of voted.

-It's pretty solid for a remix(had to go to the high quality since this one is of dreadful quality). I don't mind having to go off site since there is a really low size limit on newgrounds. There is a definite difference since some of it sounds fuzzy on here but is in all actuality almost perfect quality.

-Overall I really enjoyed listening to this song. It's very upbeat and uses synths quite effectively with the vocals to push the song forward.

[Experienced Loss V2]

Good Job

-You're right. This does provoke emotion. I don't think it would with just the strings or the melody but having them mixed brings out some emotion. While it isn't a whole lot it does move me a little listening to it.

-At the beginning the suttle volume buildup was nice and needed. Listening to this at a higher volume sounds much better and adds to the atmospheric feeling it brings. I didn't mind that there weren't too many builds since it is structured nicely with many breaks in the string progression and melody. Just having those really had a nice calming effect.

[Xyirx - Dragon's Breath]

Emotional

-Honestly this is a very touching and dramatic song to me. It's amazing sometimes how much feeling and emotion can be brought up to the surface by listening to a song using just the right chords and instrument combinations.

-It's very dark and deep in the way it is portrayed which is very fitting for the song title and the story you have given it. It would of been nice to see a second more resounding climax at the end though.

Xyirx responds:

Thank you so much for the review.

Frankly, I have to say that I got stuck in the end of the song that I couldn't think of something else, so I just add a deep, dark and long bass sound to make it mysterious.
