[Eternal Love[Original Mix]

Awesome!

This is awesome... man is this is awesome!

The piano intro is emotional, sweet sounding the strings come in at just about the right level.

When your synths start to come in the song stays calm till your quieted lead begins building a lot of energy, I really like that!

Your kick is great.
I think the snare sounds good, but it needs not really more punch... but to sound a little different from the drum, you can fix that by layering another snare with it to give it the bass, the echo, and the punch that you need... not really a complaint, I liked what you had, this is just some advice to improve...

I liked your sub, it keeps everything from feeling too dry and empty.

Other than that it stays pretty simple, though simple is not always bad, I really don't have much else to describe.... It sounds great. Excellent work!

I'm glad to see a musical author who credits the one who gave us breathe to breathe and lungs to breathe it! I'd love it if you'd check out one or two of my newer songs, I still have a long way to go, but I'd love to get some support from you!

Thank you, for honoring God.

Thanks a lot. It's great to hear all of these things from you. And yeah I'll check out your stuff. Thanks again!

[~ Bitter Sweet Sunlight~ [CAT]]

Holy eff!

Intro, calm, controlled and it felt like something awesome was brimming, probably my favorite part of the song really. Once the main part of the melody came in (the piano for bittersweet symph) it started to feel just a tad disjoined, but it quickly came together very well.
Not the sunlight I was thinking of, there's an awesome dub remix on NG (and by awesome, I mean awesome...) though I really liked it, the piano was great, and you had some really good sounding synths in here, nothing really crazy fancy, but full of energy and great sounding, there isn't anything "off" in this song, and it's quite a pleasure to listen to on my Klipsch "one" headphones, which have quite the knack for pulling out every bit of sound and laying it right out in the open, if you own some studio phones, or ever get to listen to stuff on them, I'd recommend it, this song is beast in em!

At 57 secs there is a snare that does sound out of place, it gives it a glitchy kinda feel which I do not think fits well in this song (that sorta thing is usually better for glitch metal, and that sort of music) this is more of a smooth song, and it makes your mixing of the tracks seem a little rough at the beginning, other than that this is pretty awesome! (Yeah, I know, I'm super picky...)

Excellent work!

Omega

(P.S.)
I haven't put anything up on NG for a while, but I am working on one or two pretty awesome things (trying to get everything perfect...) if you want I can let you know when I drop a track, idk when though, cause college is a killer so far...

Catstuffer responds:

Thanks a lot for your review!! Much appreciated! :D I'm using Audio-Technica Studio Monitor headphones and I'd recommend them to anyone on a budget! Great cans for the buck!

Thanks so much for your input! And feel free to let me know when you put something out! Thanks!

[Walkin' Towards Some Love]

Nice.

I dig the beat, it's a little simple, I'd try to add some more depth to it, tone the kick down just a tad, it seems heavy compared to the rest of the song, a little more than it should... But I like it, with some vocals it should be pretty good. Lookin forward to hearin it!

Omega

Stavier responds:

Thanx man. Yeah, it sounds better with headphones cuz I did pan the shaker and snaps, but I know whatcha mean. I see whatcha mean byt the kick. I did layer it like twice so that's probably why it's so hard. Thanx for the review!!!

[Glide (AVAT Theme) ~FNG~]

Nice!

The intro was good. Simple and it built a happy/upbeat yet serious (kinda) sounding mood.

When the drums kicked, it got my head bobbing and the banjo (or whatever) was good, and it sounded great with your choral music. (I also liked your drumwork, it was simple but sometimes that's the best)

I can really see some awesome and epic gaming to this. It's chill enough for background work, but also has a ton of energy if you're actually paying attention to it.

I really like it, it's got a simple beat and some awesome instruments. But it was awesome and I enjoyed every second of it!
You are really improving as an artist, and I just wanted to let you know never to give up, you really have some great talent, and I'm excited to be able to watch you grow as a fellow artist, it really gives me hope!

Excellent!

Omega

Also I always like to tell people when I do this cause I don't do it much, so I like to tell people when they do good enough to make the "list"
Dl'd to ipod, and it isn't your first work I've gotten either.

Omnivore responds:

Alright thanks! Also, the banjo, is actually.. *thinks for a moment*.. I have no f*cking idea X3.

[The Fall and Rise]

Amazing!

I really liked your instrumentation and you made this sound really good.
I think you could have used a few more instruments in the background or something, but what you have is perfect, I just think you could add in a little bit extra to make it even better!

The intro could have gone two ways, the more ambient somber one that you did, but I heard potential for an epic, I might have to explore doing that sometime. . .

Excellent!

Omega

TheBlackbyrd responds:

Its funny how u trail off into saying how to make it better but still say it was good. lol. its rather confusing but it makes me laugh.

[Brisk Momento]

Nice!

I liked the intro, it was chilled, but it had a really energetic beat too.

I keeps pumping, but is not too crazy powerful at all, I agree with poowis, it would be awesome in some kind of shooter, a chill but pumping background music.

There were a few drum beats I thought shifted around a little bit too quickly, but that is just how they struck me. . .

Excellent work my friend, you are improving a TON!

Omega

Stavier responds:

Chilled & energetic is definitely what I tried adding in this. Yeah, it's suppose to e not so pumpin', but not so woohoo, happiness :D I agree with you & poowis, background music this could be. I could see how you thought they were a little fast. I've been tryin' to improve indeed. Making these DnB tracks helped alot & thanx for the review!

[-Mortal Kombat Theme REMAKE-]

Not bad

I think your synths had some good power, but it was not a perfect transcription from the original, you had a few notes out of place, but it was good for the most part.

I would have tried to vary it up some more, and the ending was a little weird, it needs to be switched up just a little more. Maybe having a different synth or two playing the different parts of the main theme, to keep it interesting.
Your synths had more power than my remix did, but I think you could vary it up a little more. . .

If you would be so kind as to let me know what you think of my remix I'd appreciate it! http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/liste n/411123

Good work overall!

Omega

Cruzon63 responds:

haha,you insulte me and ask to review yours,nice

[Construction, Reflection...]

Not bad

I liked the intro it was pretty good.

I think for a while you had a bit too much going with the piano for a while, it was not all in the same melody, there were some pretty harsh clashes of notes there. . . (I'm a Pianist and I'm picky about how my piano's sound)

I liked the way you had built all of this around a simple little motif and the composing of it was pretty good, though there are some unpleasant sounds.

Even so it's a very interesting piece of music and I really like what you had going on with it.

WizMystery responds:

Clashing notes are typical of the genre. This is atonal and avante-garde so it focuses less on a tonal center and strict harmony and more on structure and variation. Not ignoring tonality is more of a challenge, I'll admit, but personally I prefer this aesthetically.

Thanks for the input!

[[dB] Protest -Loop-]

Nice!

I like the way you brought in the drums at the beginning and the sounded pretty good.

The song was a little empty. . . I think you need to build it up a little more and then go into something a little dark, but with high energy.
What you had was pretty good, but it was not a ton, there's a lot to add, but the main thing I feel is missing is either A) A heavy bass carrying the melody or B) Some kind of "real" instrument to introduce the melody and build it up to wherever it is you want to.

Not bad, just a little empty

Decibel responds:

Thanks for the review ^^

[Nostalgia - Adam Doan]

Nice !

I like the intro, and the intro lead is cool, the bells were good too, the added a fair amount to this song.

I really like the main melody, its pretty catchy and the drums keep it pumping.
I'd switch up the melody one or two time before 2 mins, just some small things, because throughout the song it retained pretty much the exact same melody, for this song it still remained fairly interesting through the song, but changing it up even more would really keep people sucked into your song!

Great work overall!
