TaintedLogic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Build]

It's okay...I liked the ominous beginning, especially with the drums, but it was a little slow in general. The strings were hiding under the beat for most of the song- it could've been much more dramatic, as I see that's what you were going for. Also, there could have been a lot more dynamic contrast before/after 1:08. It's not a bad start. I just think it could be more emotional. I encourage you to keep working on it. ;)

skipspace responds:

I agree with everything you said. It definitely could have been better, but as it was just for testing purposes, I didn't exactly make it to the best of my abilities. If I ever do choose to do a finished version (Which I probably will at some point), I'll take into account everything you mentioned. Thanks!

[Buttery Epic Popcorn]

Really interesting...I like the instruments and melodies. You incorporated the speech well, however in general I don't usually like spoken words used in excess in a song...but that's just me. I'm not sure how the speech relates to the "buttery epic popcorn" theme, but after :22 the song was pretty catchy and well-structured. Loops well too. Good job! ^^

mistarogerz responds:

The speech from Robert Frost just felt right at the time. However, in retrospect "What the Hell was I thinking when naming this thing Buttery Epic Popcorn?"

[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!
