Big-Boss's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Terrox Beat]

Keeps a nice, eerie sound throughout the entire song. This would definitely be a very suitable soundtrack for a creepy platformer game.

However, with the techno in the beginning and when it starts again at 0:41, the high pitched ticking noise in the background is annoying. I'm not sure what it's supposed to be, but it's too high pitched.

[Gallant Last Stand]

I really like how it starts off really soft and then progresses into a more intense song, but then becomes soft again at the end.

It kind of captures the emotional rollercoaster that is war. Like, it's sad in the beginning that a country has to go to war. Then when the song gets more intense, it's like a war with all of the battling. Finally, when it gets soft again at the end of the song, it's capturing the sadness of the lives that were lost.

It's a really nice song. The only thing I don't like is that drop that happens a couple of times in the song, like at 2:01 and 2:35.

MysteriousPresence responds:

Thanks for the review !
I'm glad you get the structure of the song because this was an important point to me when I was composing it ! That's like exactly what I was thinking about ! =3
I actually love that drop but that's a matter of taste I guess ! X)
Thanks again, and glad you liked it ! =)

[Before Genesis]

It has a really nice blend of chill and slightly eerie. Also, the beat fits the song perfectly.

A little touch that you put in that I really liked was the sound that first happens at 1:20. It sounds like an electric guitar, but it also kind of sounds like it could be a techno sound. I can't be 100% sure, but whatever it is, it's a pretty cool sound that I'm glad you put into this song a few times. It blends in very well.

Stereocrisis responds:

Thank you for keeping your promise to check out my recent stuff. It is an electric guitar, BTW. :D

[Slowly Fading...]

It has a fantastic buildup. The beginning of the song has a very ambient sound. Then more sounds get added to take it up a notch, but it still keeps that chill vibe, which is awesome.

Secondly, the bass drops at 1:58 and 2:28 don't suit the song very well. I can tell you used them as a sign of transitioning, but it just doesn't fit. I'd replace it with something else entirely.

This is a great song for the most part! Keep up the good work!

Thanks man i will see what i can do!

[Crystal Hallways]

The bells are very peaceful sounding and go well with the soft beat and the other soft sounds.

I like how you didn't go crazy with the beat and went with a soft sounding beat to match the calm vibe of the song. I also like how you kept a nice, smooth rhythm throughout the song without majorly changing it up when the song transitioned.

Finally, I like how you made the instruments a little quieter sounding than a normal pitch to match the soft tone of the song.

Very nice work!

demon1000 responds:

Thank you man for the review!

[May Vibes]

This song has a fantastic buildup. It slowly starts getting more intense, which is terrific. You did an excellent job on that.

You also used some great sounds that all go well together. Just wish you would've added a couple more sounds to the song. It does get kind of bland at a point.

[Escape (Progressive Mix)]

Wow, this is a pretty cool track! This should really have more views! You make so many transitions and they all sound good together, which is impressive. Also, this song has a pretty good beat that goes along with every sound in the song.

Great work!

stegosaurus responds:

Thank you very much for all of these reviews! I'm really glad to finally see some constructive reviews on my content. As you can see, or hear, Audio is really my main focus. For this track I wanted a more progressive, mau5 sort of sound, and with smooth transitions. I'm really glad you enjoyed this track. Also, if you liked this, there will be an entire album coming out this month.

Thanks!

[Dredgermen]

Has a pretty nice retro video game sound to it. It keeps a good, consistent beat throughout the song while making slight changes.

Nice job!

Kalviter responds:

Thanks! I'm glad you like it, and that there's been an improvement.
