TaintedLogic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Canon in Trance]

I like the dreamy mood at the beginning, but I don't like that aggressive-sounding instrument that starts around :30. It doesn't really fit with the otherwise blissful mood, so it sounds a little out-of-place to me. Some of your transitions felt a little too busy and angry, like around 1:30. It got better after 2:00, and I like the part at 2:45 a lot, as well as the melody at 5:12. I like the ending too. However, I must be honest in saying that I like your original work better. I'm looking forward to your collab, and also to August 25th. ;D

Dylnmatrix responds:

Thanks man. I guess the fact that I didn't put as much dedication into this as my other tracks showed for you. I personally like the bass that I bring in at 0:30, and I wanted to use Massive for the first time lol, but I understand that it isn't exactly everybody's cup of tea. My mind wanted to do a kind of mix of the two moods, and it worked for my ears. -shrugs- And I'm rambling.

Thank you again, it's always nice to see a review from you. I'll have the collab up here soon, and the date...well, I'll get back to you guys on that.

[bonus stage]

The melody was instantly engaging, and I love the variation and energy. It's very melodic and catchy. Cool instruments, smooth-flowing, well-structured. Maybe you could add a little more substance around :45 - 1:05, and make the ending a little more interesting. Overall, it's another short, but cool piece, Johnfn! :D

johnfn responds:

Yeah I think you're right about the :45 to 1:05 section, I was a little lazy with that melody, but I didn't know what else to do. (Maybe a 8 bit breakdown?) Without you reviewing my stuff my songs would feel pretty lonely, so thanks a lot for dropping by!

[Between Stars (Short Demo)]

Catchy and fun! :D Cool instruments, well-structured, smooth-flowing. Maybe it could be a little more unique, but other than that it's a really solid track. Are you planning on uploading the full version to NG sometime? :D

alvys18 responds:

Hey thanks man! I will definitely upload it when I'm done with it! cheers

[Le Sanctuaire ~Des~]

I love the mood and instruments. This is a very engaging track, and the vocals added a lot to it, as well as the organ. I love how it's constantly changing, and the music really tells a story. It even loops pretty well. Well-structured, smooth-flowing, fantastic harmonizing. Amazing work! :D

DesoloZ responds:

thanks dude that means alot im getting better :D

[Arcobeleno-Club Mix]

I like the beat at the beginning and the effect at :16. It's catchy and cool and I like the instruments a lot. It could've progressed a little faster at times, and I think the synth at 1:01 is a little too loud. I like your melodramatized transitions, though, and the relaxed break-down section at 1:45 was really interesting as well. I especially liked the piano and how you started transitioning back into the more energetic part around 3:00. I still think the synth is too loud at 3:14, but I like the structure overall. I liked the club-ish ending, but it was a little sudden. Maybe you could even turn this into a loop. Overall, it's a solid piece. I think you have a fair chance a getting in. Good luck! ;)

prodrift101 responds:

Thank you for your kind words. I try to work to the best of my ability with any music I create. Reading your reveiw only helps me to get better as an artist. Thanks!

[(MKYP) Summer Nights]

I like the instruments and effects (especially the crash). It's climactic and catchy. It could've progressed a little faster in my opinion, but I love the part at 1:23. You really brought out that summer-dance-party-like mood! :D I also like the melody that pops in around 2:00. Towards the end, it really has a nice, full sound too! I like how it ends like it begins. Excellent work! ;D

MIKEY-P responds:

Thanks a lot!

[phaceoph]

I like the ominous mood at the beginning, but the beat felt a little too energetic for that [electric piano?]. I like the angry bass at :43, but I wish it progressed a little faster and was more varied. I strangely liked when you combined the electric piano with the bass at 1:40, but it was still very repetitive. I think you need more layers of sound here to add a little more substance/ variation. The ending caught me off guard - I like it, though. Overall, I think you have the skeleton of a piece; it just needs more variation/ substance, as I said. Keep at it, man! ;)

Qshunt responds:

Thanks for the review! There was only about about fifteen minutes of work, so it's very early on. It's nowhere near where it will be on completion!
