Reaper93's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Final Destination [Hafdwn Mix]]

It's mixing like this that puts my songs to shame

As an amateur composer I'm hoping one day to be able to blend elements like this - piano, drums with some bass, even a synth and some choir-ish backdrop.

I gotta say this was a feat, even if I don't dig the composition a whole lot. Props.

[{Dj-L} The Evil Project]

o.0

Darren you seriously get annoyed at big basses :P

Yeah, though, I think the bass is a bit too peaked out. It's squaring out a bit, turn it down.

[Snapdragon]

None this time

No monster block paragraphs, I just don't have it in me - been having some sleep problems recently, too tired. But I liked this a lot, very well done. Five'd for taste ;)

NemesisTheory responds:

Thanks, Reaper! :)
I hate Insomnia, btw. :(

[Ice Cap Zone (EF Mix)]

Hey!

It's 3 am, I'm tired, but I just wanted to drop a comment instead of a review - all of your stuff is great! Thanks for the HQ mixes! (They also play great on Audiosurf, except Kirby is a totally way too hard xD)

[We Believe Ep.6 - F-777]

Time to break out the big one

Time for my first big review of the new year!

First off, the wind instruments are great - simple but they really add a lot of dimension. Very trance-like build up and there's a lot of action going on at once here, no wonder this has had such high acclaim.

Now, I'm not sure I can support the switch to piano around :45ish because it seems to make very little effort to return for another 45 seconds, and one time instrumental insertions are just not my idea of a good use! But that's just me, and I'm sure others feel differently. Personally I believe that you needed to combine that a bit more instead of keeping in separate segments, perhaps have them switch more frequently (every few bars?) to create a better dynamic.

The song is very simple, but some would say this is a plus, so I won't hold it against you - it's still very well constructed! I have to say that I like the orchestral instruments thrown in, but they could use a bit more work on placement in my opinion.

Well, look at that, that wasn't a very big review. Oh well, start off with baby steps :p

F-777 responds:

Your right the song could have been more dynamic,
thanks so much for the review man =).

The melody and bassline are simple but the setup
in the background is not even close to simple XD.
Theres about 3 extra saw patterns that you can't
really distinguish (i did that on purpose) but they
add pretty good to the background in my oppinion =).

Thanks again for the review its nice when someone
pours out their oppinions on every part of the song =).

[{dj-N} We Want Your Soul]

Hah!

I recognized that use of treat the oscillators, you sly sly musician you! Seems slightly reworked though so I won't yell at you for reusing, no matter how awesome :p

[We Believe Ep.3 - F-777]

Still around

Expect reviews after the new year! Too busy right now. But I gotta say, this is sounding great as always :D

[M.E.T.E]

Just wasted my review powers :(

So nothing long for you, I'm afraid. But I just wanted to comment that it kind of sounds like something out of megaman, and the quality is top notch - really addictive little loop! Downloaded, 5/5!

[I Thank You--_--(goa Trance)]

No long review :(

However, I will give you one in the future. I'm glad you're back, first and foremost, and this song is superbly well-made. I really think it sounds great, it just flows nicely.

Not my favorite tune on Earth, but the song itself is just constructed so damn well I can't fault it. Maybe do something a little more, well, I can't quite put it, but something with a little more energy to it, then you'll have it perfect - but the song itself flows greatly, and its technical aspects are top-notch. 5'd.

PERVOK responds:

Ever since I started writing music, I always thought that the least descriptive term you can use to describe an element in a song is "energy" :(

Whatevs, thanks for the review man, you know that I appreciate it :) I just woke up though so I'm probably just a dumb bastard.

[Castle of Tears: Bloodlines]

!!!

Oi, you, I already reviewed this! >.<

Sorry, NemesisTheory, but I can't bring myself to give you another wall of text. It's improved, though I think I sense a slight drop in bitrate due to the length? I dunno. Anyway, just as good as the last one, if not better. Once we get some original work out, we get some original reviews, too :p

5'd and DL'd regardless ^^

NemesisTheory responds:

Hi! Haha, I guess I was cheating a little bit lol :p

Don't worry about the review, and you are correct about the bitrate! You really do have good ears (or you cheated and checked out the file info in winamp XD). I'm glad you like it, and yes, more originals are coming. :D

Thanks for the scores and review, reapie! :D
