TaintedLogic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Twenty-Three]

I like the instruments and mood, but it's a little simple and dull. It needs more energy or substance. It's gets really repetitive after a while, and the effects you sneak in there starting around :45 don't really add much to it. It needs to lead somewhere more, although I like how it ends similarly to how it begins, even if it doesn't really loop that well. Sorry. I've been tough on you. It has potential; it just should be a little more engaging and varied in my opinion. Keep working on it, man. ;)

[The Psychedelic Railway]

The first thirty seconds were interesting, engaging, and climactic. I like the instruments and melody. I expected it to be a little more creepy, but I found the melody strangely upbeat. It's a little repetitive at times, and I feel you could do more with it, but it's well-structured and catchy. I like the transition at 3:04, and the ending was interesting. Good job! ;)

[Wild Fears]

I like the creepy melody and effects. It's a little repetitive and the variation that's there is very gradual. I feel like there should've been more substance at some points in the track, but I like the climax which peaks at 1:57. It's catchy and I like the instruments. 2:38 was an interesting transition. I liked the ending. I'd say you should work on varying it more as a priority, but, overall, I liked it. Keep it up, man! ;)

Abombination responds:

Thank you! I thought I could add a little more repetition to this one. Most of my tracks dont normally have this much repetition.

[Nights]

It's simple and cute. :3 I like the idea behind the song, but it lacks substance, and the melody was a little dry and bare. Maybe you could try harmonizing with some strings or something. I think it needs to be more engaging and lead somewhere more...you should keep building on it. It has potential. ;)

Woolio1 responds:

Surely, any sooner or later, I will try my best for learning how to play whit music boxes (On a good side) But for now, thanks for the review.

Oh, just forgot, this was actually made 2years ago but my cousin recorded it (He though it was good), so i completely forgot how to use them correctly, but even then, ill attempt to learn again at my best!

[Chances (WIP)]

I like the funky beat at the beginning and the climax starting at :15, even if it was a little too gradual for my tastes. It's catchy and even dreamy at some points. I like the melody and instruments. Sometimes, it lacks a lot of substance, but that's okay, at least at :15. I like your breaks and transitions. It's well-structured, although the ending could've been more...conclusive. It's a great start. Nice job. ;)

[Lone X - New Truth]

I was instantly engaged. The beginning has a mood to it- suspense, apprehension, something- that's just engrossing. I love the strings and piano and the drama and emotion! It has so much feeling- I wish you went more of somewhere with it, though. It seemed a little repetitive at points. I liked the breakdown at 2:32, and it finally started to have an interesting form at 2:44. It's engaging throughout, and I love the ending. Definitely a great song to open an album with! Great job! The feeling of impending doom makes me thirsty for more! :D

Lone-X responds:

I appreciate the review! I love the feedback! Glad you liked it!

Peace and love

[Conquest Of Paradise RMX]

I loved the instrument you used for the melody and the variations with that bass-y instrument (like at :58, 1:07, etc.). Maybe a little repetitive, but it's well-structured and upbeat! ^^ I liked the ending, but I think you overused that crash a little bit starting around 3:07. Overall, great work! You were one on NG's break-out artists of 2012, and still going strong! Keep it up, man! :D

TastyTeo responds:

The beat was 3/4 and not 4/4 so i had to end it the 3/4 way :P it is correct but it is not that good for the ear if you know what i mean, anyway thanks for the review :D

[Checkmate (Remastered)]

I like the bass-y intro and cresendo that starts at around :14. It's climactic and catchy (as usual), but I also like what you do with the beat at :56. It adds some flavor and variation to the piece. The instruments were good (as usual), and I don't know how you did the effect with that instrument at 1:09, but it sounded really cool! :D It was a little repetitive and long, and you already know what I'm going to say about switching up the style of your pieces sometime :P ...but I liked how this one had those bass-y parts in it, and the breakdown at 2:59 was good, but I thought the transition leading into it could've been smoother. I liked the variations with the bass at 5:44, but I thought the ending could've been stronger. Overall, good job, but I'd honestly be much more motivated to keep reviewing your pieces if you tried experimenting with some different genres. Keep up the good work, DylnMatrix. :)

Dylnmatrix responds:

Thanks for the review! I will be trying out some new genres soon, I just need the right tools to do so. I'm looking at buying Massive when I start working this summer so I can start trying out some Complextro/Dubstep/whatever I decide. I'm also going to be working with a friend of mine who writes Electro House stuff to learn how to make songs in that style. So the experimenting will begin soon! Just need the right stuff to do it :)

But during this time, I'm going to be remastering a lot of my old tracks due to me learning more how to properly master my tracks, and I was curious as to how my older tracks would sound with the mixing and mastering techniques I've learned.

Anyways, thanks for reviewing again, and hopefully I can satisfy your need to hear different stuff from me soon.

[I Adore]

Nice and climactic. :53 was a little sudden- maybe you could use a crash or something to keep the flow a little bit more there. I liked the vocals and the emotional contrast, though. I think 2:04 should lead somewhere more, and it needs more of a definitive ending, but I like the instruments and style of this piece, although I think I recognize one or two from your other tracks. Keep it up, man. This is one of your better tracks in my opinion! :D

JQiscool responds:

Yes, this was made in much similarity to "All That I Have"
I realized that after I made this one!
Anyway, thanks for reviewing again!

[Insanity!!!]

I was instantly engaged. It feels nice and fresh. The transition at :44 didn't seem to lead anywhere, though, and I wasn't crazy about the variations at :45. Similarly to "The Battle," it doesn't have a lot of substance at some points. The randomness didn't exactly work for me- I like songs with structure, but that's just me. The transition needs to be smoother at 2:58, and I think in general you need harmonize more. It's also a little repetitive at times. It's really catchy and I like the instruments and mood, though. I just think it needs to be more connected. It loops pretty well, but it's pretty long for a loop. I would probably end it with a bass-y D, held for at least a measure or two. ;) ...but I probably shouldn't tell you exactly how to end your piece. Good start; it just needs to be cleaned up around the edges. Keep up the good work! :)

JQiscool responds:

Thanks
Wow that's a lot of stuff
I'll start fixing em up!
