TaintedLogic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[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! :)

Zinitymusic responds:

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!

[The Rise of Zatera]

It's really relaxing and dreamy, but the crash and drums kind of ruined the mood for me. I like how you made it evolve into a more intense song, but I think the drums should still mirror the mood of the rest of the piece at all times. The emotion is good, and 2:17 was a highlight for me! I didn't like the transition at 2:51 so much, though- it seemed a bit sudden. The way it ended was a bit sudden, too. It's definitely a good start, but I think you should make it a bit smoother- it needs to flow more. Otherwise, love the instruments and feeling you put into it! Keep working on it! ;)

JayenareMusic responds:

Thanks man. I see what you're saying. The song was meant to start mellow and get more intense. Thisis actually a very very old piece. I just made a few adjustments and posted it. I was sick of seeing it on my project list.

[Sequence WIP]

I love the energy and effects. You controlled my feelings so well! At the beginning there was a climax, and at :16 everything just exploded! The emotion is amazing! You should definitely keep working on this. I'm thinking maybe :46 would function as a sort of break-down, and then you could lead in to a refrain and coda with a similar transition as in the beginning. It's so engaging and catchy! While not complete, it immediately caught my attention. Please do us all a favor and finish this track! :D

Lockyn responds:
