[SUIA-Drums&bass?]

Fooled me

-At first I was going to question what you were doing when it seemed like a trance song but the drums did get into the workings. I would suggest bringing the percussion in at an earlier stage and add more pop to the drums. They are there but they don't ever seem to come out. Meaning that they weren't really a focus other than that oddly done drum solo toward the end.

-As mentioned before I didn't like how the intro was done. It was too calm and could of used at least some pads or light drum taps. Then at the end you completely got rid of the melody for a complete drum solo. I'm not even sure what you did at 2:11.

-Try and keep everything together by not just using one aspect at a time. Keep everything multi-dimensional and a little less crazy.

thanks for the advice, i really agree that i could of added more effects to the drums
211 was an outro,to end the song

[[G] Holy Advocate ft. JP & KC]

Polar opposites

-The thing about this song that irked me the most was the fact that I had to turn my headphones up just to hear the melody. That mixed with having drums that kicked entirely too hard in comparison. This can be fixed by either equalizing the sound a bit or by just adjusting the volume of one of the parts.

-The melody was very smooth but it was quite repetitive in it's nature and didn't have anything that could hold my interest for several playthroughs. The drums would sound better if they weren't so overpowering of everything else. As far as the drum instrumentals they were solid and had enough variety that they don't need any reworking other than volume adjustment.

Jirohbomb responds:

I have to fix that up then. I have gotten a few complaints about drums. Thank you so much for your review.

[Solar Epoch (Final Mix)]

Nice

-In general it's very pleasing to the ears. Keeps a nice tempo throughout.

-I like how you peppered the track with a lot of percussion but never overused them to the point where they overpowered the main melody.

-The ending seemed rather lackluster. It stayed at the basic melody you kept. It would of been nice to see it brought up an octave or added something to end it with a bang.

Sawdust responds:

THanks for the review! I'll keep endings in mind next time I write something rock n roll.

[CLUBeRz (WIP2)]

Still needs work

-It still needs some overall work to it. It's quite sloppy in some of the later parts in the song.

-I like how you built everything around one single melody. At times it doesn't show out to much or it gets covered up by other elements in your song. Try and keep the melody at a solid volume as to not just have everything else cover it up.

-You had a lot of transitioning to different parts which was great since a song with good variety will hold more people but it's a bit sloppy at times. Try remastering this and smooth the transitions out a bit.

-So far it's sounding great but a few touch ups here and there wouldn't hurt anyone.

[Polar Equal]

Increase volume

-The volume on this is dreadfully low. I'm using headphones and it is difficult to hear unless I crank the volume up a lot.

-The overall melody is upbeat and has a lot of bass in the background to help it progress nicely throughout. I would suggest adding more variety to it though. Adding some synths or pads into the mix would be a great example of improving this song and giving it more variety.

-Your still in the beginning stages and you show promise since you know your way around the program that you are using. Just add more variety into your work and it will sound so much better.

[Omnibu copae (piano)]

Simple :)

-Even though it was very simple the piano is one of the few instruments that has the ability to sound great standing alone by itself.

-It has many dynamics that give it some depth. Several stops for dramatic pause were well placed and made it sound so much better than just a straight through melody.

-It is an old work of yours but seeing this brought back into the works and adding additional work to this in a new piece would be great.

Calamaistr responds:

Perhaps sometime ill do something more with it, have been really busy with all sorts of things lately so sorry i didnt respond any sooner man.

thanks for the review.

[Etude #2 - Valse de la Chagrin]

Letting you know

-The volume was a lot lower than most audio works that are submitted to newgrounds. I listen using headphones and I still had to increase the volume over half to accurately hear the back melody.

-I just love the classical guitar and how well you can transition notes with it. It gives the song that light atmosphere that just settles you down and lets you fade off into a happier place.

-Even though it is short it feels like a full piece since it has a greatly structured beginning, middle, and end. The beginning could of been worked in a little slower though to build a little better.

Darkmaster603 responds:

Thanks, This was before I understood how to set up my work station for the best volume. This was actually recorded in FL studio, which was a big pain in the butt. Now I use cubase ai4 because it came with my interface, and it's a lot better.

I've realized that people like these etudes, so for their sake I'm re-working all my etudes into actual songs.

Thanks for reviewing so many of my songs, it really means alot :)

[Prelude #1 - Lost Serenade]

Well

-For overall sound quality it sounds really good and the chord progression builds the song up. I'm not big on preludes though since they tend to be short and a backdrop for things that have already happened and/or for things to come.

-It would be nice if you continued working on this or followed it up with a second part that continues the chord progression even farther and works off of what you built up here.

-Review Request Club

Darkmaster603 responds:

I agree that preludes are just short. I'm working on making this longer and making it part of the moonlight suit.

Thanks for reviewing my stuff!

[Big Cats]

Nice Lyrics XD

-This is just something that I could improptu play to make myself a little happier.

-I loved the overall concept of just talking about a cat and the different things that she was thinking of. The lyrics became repetitive at the end with the chorus being repeated a couple times but it doesn't take away from the song. You sing too close to the microphone at times since it picks up your breathing and makes it hard to hear the lyrics at times.

-The background music is layered nicely. The melody doesn't overpower the drums too much and you keep the guitar volume in check as to not be louder than the singing which is the case in a lot of music i've encountered here on newgrounds.

-Just find a better way to record your voice and it would improve the audio quality by a lot and make everything sound so much better.

Sawdust responds:

Okay, thanks!

But that wasn't about cats... lmao

But seriously, thanks for the review!

[Cobalt [DEMO]]

Nice transitions

-It's just too simple. It's just practice but you can save the practicing for yours31f(pun lol). I would trust that you can tell if transitions from note to note sound up to par.

-As far as everything transitioning from note to note it sounds good and isn't botchy or cut off. I would of suggested using more opposites and trying to test extremes if you're just going to test.
