TaintedLogic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mysterious]

I like the melody and the instruments. It has a pleasant sort of simplicity to it, with a nice videogame-ish feel, too. One suggestion I would make is to connect the instruments more. At :17, :34, and many other places in the song, there seems to be an accent on every note, which might have something to do with the instrument you used. It makes the piece feel a little choppy, which I don't think you were going for. Anyway, overall it's a nice piece, and I like the ending, too. Keep up the good work! ;)

[[RM] - Experiments WIP]

Well, I like the intro and it's pretty catchy, but I feel like some of the instruments were pretty distorted and muddy, especially at :46. I like the climactic nature of it, and the rhythm and beat, for that matter, but some of those instruments sound more like sound effects to me, with the "whoosh" noises, especially at :46. I don't know if it's just not my style or what, but I feel like there should be more of a melody at :46 based on "melody-like" instruments. Other than that, it's a well-structured piece, and I like the ending. I encourage you to keep working on it. ;)

[Guinea Pigs]

The beginning was pretty engaging, and I like that crash you have in there, but be careful to not overuse it. The trasition at 1:35 felt a little strange for me. I felt like you could connect the parts before and after it a little more. However, the part after that was really good. I don't think your melodies are boring. The way you ended the song was pretty sudden and strange, too, but my main problem with the song is that it almost feels like 2 different songs with the transiton at 1:35. Still, I think this piece has potential, and I encourage you to keep working on it. Keep up the good work! :)

[Zinity - Welcome home]

I like the dreamy intro, but I think you made it too long, and the transition at 1:11 is a little sudden. I like the instruments, though, and the melody. It's upbeat and catchy. I like the ending, too. Overall, a nice feel-good sort of piece. Keep up the good work! :)

Thank you! :-)

[The Past]

I had to think a lot about this one before reviewing it. It's dry and dull, yet interesting. It's mellow and relaxing, yet there's not a lot of depth in it. I like the instruments. I like the harmonies. I think it doesn't lead much of anywhere- there's the same level of intensity throughout the piece. Maybe you could try giving it more emotional/ dynamic contrast. It ends pretty suddenly. I think it needs a little more form. It's probably one of the most unique pieces I've ever reviewed on NG. It has potential. I encourage you to keep working on it. :)

Merpy responds:

Ok thank you
and yeah I'll keep working on it
i was trying to keep it simple
so i can spend more time on learning how to make instruments

[MMBN4 Asteroid Comp Elite]

It's really upbeat and engaging. Excellent choice of instruments. Maybe a little repetitive, and I think you overused that snare a bit, there. It did loop well, but I thought that between 2:16 and :03 (once it looped again) there were two transitions, which kind of threw me off. I think you have all the stylistic makings of a good artist, but I'd like to see an original by you. Good work overall. I prefer originals, but this caught my attention. Keep up the good work! ;)

EliteFerrex responds:

I may have overused the snare a little, yes. >.<; But, nonetheless, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[Starlight]

I love the form and style of this piece. It's really catchy and relaxed. At points it verges on repetitive, but it is basically an 80-second loop that loops twice, am I right? It does loop well, btw, and it's okay if songs this engaging are a little repetitive. I really felt this one, Synthapse. Good job! :)

Synthapse responds:

thanks bro glad you enjoyed it!
