Little-Rena's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Purple Heart]

Nice

It doesn't really stand out that much though, the opening is good with the beating sound and the through the rest it kind of fades into the background and there is a tune over it. It does sound good though, it kind of reminds me of Unreal Tournament in someway though to be honest. It has a really nice beat to it and because it doesn't stand out, it isn't distracting.

Although it sounds very repetative through the main part, it ends the same way it started in someway which is pretty good. Very long peice that's to be said but none the less, I do like it. Keep up the good work.

5/5

Mataro responds:

I actually had a lot of fun making this one, and it sounds better when it's played loud. (There's some subtleties in the background there)

I haven't got much to say about this one, other than I really like the atmosphere of it. It does get a little repetitive perhaps, but not too much I think. It's my first piece to even have a tiny bit of "epicness" to it though xD

I'm pretty proud of that, it's tough to make something epic :P

Thanks for the review! :D

[Pokemon Sinnoh Rap]

Swell

Nice work on this, haven't watched Pokemon in ages though, don't think I know some of the ones you mentioned, lol. The background music to this sounds very good and fits with the whole thing, the voice work here is good too, though it's a little quiet at the end, still good.

Couldn't hear you breath in, which sounds good and everything seems to be pronoced right too, good idea and everything. Would have been nice to hear a little more though, lol, but good job :P

5/5

Background music was from the Nintendo 64 game Pokemon Puzzle League, a simple but very addicting game once you figured out how to do large combos. Nothing quite like Thundershocking half a screen worth of blocks onto your opponents side, and then watching him squirm.

[The Human Genome]

Alright

Well I do have a slight problem with this one, there is a kind of fuzz on the top of everything which I find to be distracting from everything else. Though I do like the sounds of everything else, they all do fit in well with the whole flow and everything as well as the ammount of diversity in this peice, I guess you could say it represent the Human Genome in diversity, lol.

The ending is good, it all slows down and comes to a stop and the opening is fine too, gradually building up, the main tune is also very good, just the part with the fuzz sound that bothers me here, otherwise very nice :)

4/5

Mataro responds:

I quite enjoyed all the atmospherics of this piece as well. There was a lot of new stuff I tried in this one.. To name a few;
DNB Style
Synthy Storm sort of atmosphere (this one really reminds me of a storm at sea)
Used a bunch of new synths I'd never touched before
Breakbeat/Glitch drums (those took a long time to write x.x)

I thought the ending came off well too, but as for the fuzz.. It's a layer of distortion on the drums to make them pack more punch and give them a harsher feel. Without the distortion the whole track has a pretty smooth feel.. But I think it would lose that stormy feel, and it definitely wouldn't represent the human genome very well :P

I dunno', the distortion on the drums is always hit or miss with people, some like it, some don't. Thanks for the great review anyway, I appreciate it! :D

[A World's Rigors]

Quiet

It's got a very kind of quiet sound to it, it's clear but I mean not too noticible, it would be good as some background music for an animation based in the past or something like that, kind of has that sort of beat to it. It is also very easy to listen too and doesn't really stand out too much.

The opening of this is good and the ending part is also good, although I'm not to keen on the loud clashes towards the end, I didn't think they fit in. The main tune was good though, I liked it and it also had quite a bit of varity to it, very nice, keep it up!

5/5

Mataro responds:

Yeah, this one's kind of relaxed and ambient. It reminds me a lot of DooM or HeXen. Kind of Donkey Kong Country-ish at times too. The opening took a fair bit of fiddling around with to get it to sound the way I wanted x.x

The loud clashes actually don't bother me all that much, but I kind of rushed the flute/bell. It doesn't sound bad, it just sounds a little off at parts. But for half an hour of work it turned out pretty well. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it, though :D

[-=Garage Rock=-]

Good

It starts off a little quiet and then seems to build up into the main song, which is pretty nice and sounds good, also the main part of it seems to be very busy and flows well, I think it actually makes it sound longer than it actually is, but that's good, it was pretty good to listen to although a little repetative, the ending was also pretty neat to.

Good work on this, can't really offer any suggestions since everything here seemed to pretty much flow together, smooth start and a good finish, maybe a little more diversity through the main part but not really needed. Good job on this :)

5/5

Mataro responds:

I agree that it could be a little more diverse, but I worked on it for about an hour and then ran out of things to do with it xD

I ended up spending a bunch of time just trying to mix it up a bit, but I went with the original. There's a few things that I could have done though.. I'm not the biggest fan of the intro for the lead guitar. I'm thinking I should have led it in with low-pass and high harmonics. But oh well, I like it as is. :P

Thanks a ton for the review, I really do appreciate it. 'Course, I really appreciate the 5/5 too. xD

[==(Celestial Swamp Life)=]

Hmmm

The slight "tick tick" sound in the background really lets this down for me, having headphones on, it really get's hard to listen to, maybe use a softer sound for that so it doesn't hurt the ears so much. Everything else though is great, fits in well and has a nice sound to it which I like.

There are parts in this which are more energetic than others which is also nice and fits in well, althought it gets more upbeat towards the end the stops suddenly, shouldn't it have the more energetic part in the middle? Ah well, pretty good all the same. But really, the only problem is the "tick tick" sound.

[TheReno-[Hard fought Victory]]

Pretty Nice

I like the tune to this, it really has a nice rythem to it I have to say, it's quite deep and smooth, real easy to listen to. There are parts that have more to it than others which is nice, it adds some change to it, can't really suggest anything you can add to this, it already seems to flow well, anything else might ruin it.

I would also say the title is very fitting with this peice too, it does kind of have that victory tune to it, but I wouldn't say it sounds like a hard fought one, lol. But overall, very nice, I have to say I really like this so keep it up :)

5/5

TheReno responds:

Yeah, I said I would put in more instruments to it but hard as I try, nothing worked. Im glad you appreciate it. It means alot to me xD

[-Mercusis- Luminoux]

Alright

Well I guess it's okay but the opening part is pretty harsh in my left ear with headphones, you might want to keep it balanced so it doesn't hurt. The sound itself is pretty clear but very repetative, I mean the middle bit would be okay if you made it into a loop and used it for a background sound.

I just really think you need a little more veritiy in here throught the middle and keep the sounds balanced so it doesn't irritate people who use headphones.

2/5

ZeroTraveler responds:

Usually I use speakers thats why I didn't realize that the song was unbalanced...Sorry about that I'll try to do better next time....XD

[The Slow Song]

Very Relaxing

I've been meaning to get round to reviewing this but I kept putting it off, well anyway here we go.

It's got a very nice beat to it, sounds very calm and really easy to listen too, also it seems very upbeat and happy, although parts in the middle seem to be a little off in some way to the rest, it still fits in and works, it just all fits together well.

Good job on this song and hopefully future songs :D

5/5

[C:\Program Files\Nintendo]

Nice Title, lol

The title here is actually pretty diffrent, I like the title you gave this track, it's diffrent.

Anyway, the track itself, it's a good sound and has some nice beats to it and gets more energetic futher into it which I like and it also dies at the end which makes it loop well on the audio portal, don't know how it would loop in a flash, but alright.

I do like this, it sounds like an old game in some way, kind of like an adventure game or puzzle, can't quite think, but yes, it's nice, good job on it and future works :)

5/5
