Roy00's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cry Freedom]

its good..

but i dont think there is a place for that repeated drum though. very nice playing from half way where the voices come in, all the way to the end of the song. the emotion a good steady setting. keep it coming buddy.

popraz responds:

Thank you for the review. I've removed the drum.

[Joyful Sorrow (MIDI Ver)]

Cool

well its good for what it is. you seem to have a good grasp on the basics. i guess all you need to do is practice practice and practice some more. eventually you come out with some stuff that you will even surprise yourself. i was doing music like this. keep them coming buddy.

Snyper5527 responds:

hey thanks :D. I just recently got a new keyboard and a new program to go with its, so im hoping to pull off some good stuff. thanks for the comment.

Very Nice Maestro..

Its been a little while since i wrote to you and i see you've only been improving quite a bit. Your music has changed some but not for the worse; it's gotten really good. Especially in this song i just like your whole progression overall and the use of the electrical guitar. I look forward to hearing more of what's up your sleeve. Keep it up.

MaestroRage responds:

My sleeve is stocked with interesting toys and idears, I hope to one day exhaust it all :D!

Thanks for the review, i'm glad you liked it! It's true my style is slowly shifting but i'm not too horribly disappointed with where it's going!

[_-={Crumbling Cathedral}=-_]

impressive of course

very nice job on this one. of course im curious, that sounds like a real voice. did you record someone singing or something then added it to your music? in any case, i cant believe i didnt stumble upon this earlier. i'll continue to listen.

MaestroRage responds:

It is, LadyArsenic and me were planning a dark song for a very long time now, and she had some great latin phrases lined up and had sung them.

She gave me her voice files and I listened to them, after spending a whole nighter cutting up the voice files to fit into the tempo and piece perfectly, I started building up, adding instruments and segments as I went.

Sadly there was only about 1:20 minutes worth of audio, so thats why I added the extension. We wanted a nice darker and crazier part at the end anyways, so it all worked out.

I'm glad you enjoyed it Roy, thank you for review ^^.

[Bettlejuice!]

good

i like Danny Elfman. he's one of my favorite composers. well... i cant give you a high originality score, but it was a different rendition of course. it didnt sound bad.

djt820 responds:

Thanks alot.

[Visiting The Village]

good

i liked it. i guess the only thing i have is that the theme you use repeats itself for quite a while. its good though dont get me wrong. i come from more of a film score background and i think it need variety. good though. keep it up.

medieval7 responds:

Yeah, i have grown out of that repetiveness. My new pieces doesnt have that anymore, thanks

[Fugue No. 1 - My Beginning]

it was ok

it was good. i really cant compliment you much because i really dont listen to that kind of classical very often if ever. but from the sounds of it, your better then the average composer here in newgrounds. i guess that counts for something.

DaveTheMusicMan responds:

Hmm...this is a less than what I expected...8s...

Although I'm a little disappointed by my first 2 reviews, I can't say I'm really all too surprised. Many people don't listen to baroque music that often...lol. Just wait a little while...I'm sure you'll love my more modern pieces.

I'm quite proud of this piece, and it was dang hard to write!

[Euphoria(on guitar)]

ok

well i think you just need to return some basics in chords. sounds like you got a certain them but the chords do not match. then maybe some articulation.

Metalholic115 responds:

Why did you review this one? Check out "Euphoria I(redone)" before reviewing this. The other one sounds better.

[Oh, Music!]

ok...

my only beef is that i can hear you guys almost getting off key. and if thats not the issue, try to go over what kind of sound your words should sound like. example: maybe the word "word", in the middle where the "o" is, can sound like "ah". i dont know much about choir but i was in it for a small amount of time.

CaptinChu responds:

Oh yah, I was the only one who did that, and I just repeated my voice over and over. It's one of those "Row, Row, Row your boat" deals. But I take that as a complement. I did go off key, but this was one of my earlier pieces. Thank you for your review!

[Haunted College]

good

not bad. i like some of your chords. but i would imagine with this kind of tone, you can only get attention for so long. oh, and work at a ending that fades out more rather then abruptly.

DrRalf responds:

Depends ..
This was meant a little as an non-serious submission ;) Just 10 minutes of piano-roll editing with a Vanguard plugin. The end sucks, the variety does too, the clarity might too etc.. But a 7 is good thanks
