TheAmateurAnimator's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Unknown Danger]

Whoa...

In the beginning, I feel like I'm being chased by misshapen demons from a non-Euclidean alternate dimension that want my soul, all the while doing shrooms. I still retain a bit of this feeling in the rest of the song, with the glitchy drums, but the organ, piano, and strings kind of give it a sadder or darker mood. Hmm...maybe it's raining while the demons are chasing me. The scream didn't fit in very well, you should have had it fade in while the instruments were fading out, oh, and it would have been cool if you had slightly glitched it up, screwed with it...

Well, there's my three cents. I'm giving you an extra cent because I'm feeling generous.

Stealth-Emergence responds:

Cool! I like those 3 cents!

Thanks for your review T.A.A.

Looks like I owe some reviews out to people, I'll do some catching up with that tomorrow! I swear

Peace Out!

[Heaven Scent]

Good work!

I see you entered the MRAC too! I entered too, but mine was too short, and I'm going to have to remake it...anyway, onto the review! Your synths are really good-quality, and I love your drums...I just love them. The key transposition you threw in there was good for some diversity. Overall, really cool.

[Dreamerz: Machines Will Fall]

Nice.

All right, this is a good song. Action-packed, intense, nice. But I think that a bit too much of the song was panned to the left. It felt like all the cool stuff was happening to my left. However, I like your effects, such as the whistle and chainsaw. Also, nice work on putting in that Agent Smith quote. It was a nice touch. But it could have used a more machine-like percussion at the end than a light tinkly metal hit. Maybe less tinkly.

itsameyayo responds:

Yeah, the left panning stuff was a stupid mistake back in the day of having bad mixing and balancing sound and the sort, so go figure the n00b in me appeared there : D

-Thanks for the review!!! Alright, maybe more percussion at the end, stupid me got impatient and wanted instant reward, bad me > 8 D

-ImperfectDisciple-

[Vivid]

Eh...

I'm not really a screamo fan, but this sounds pretty nice. How did you make this? Do you have a band with your friends or something like that?

Setu-Firestorm responds:

No, actually, ironically, it's all virtual. The guitars were done with MusicLab's "RealGuitar" and the bass and drums were done with Hypersonic. Also, the guitars were run through the "GreenMachine Amp" for distortion.

Thanks for the review.

[Look We're Flying]

Neat.

It sounds a lot like Yoko Shimomura's work in Kingdom Hearts. I can imagine this playing while flying in a gummi ship :) I like it a lot.

[Above the Clouds (easy listng)]

I like!

Pretty good job. The synths are beautiful and symphonic, and the drums are very well done. Are you using Reason?

Anyway, great job, check out some of my stuff too.

Setu-Firestorm responds:

Nope. This was purely FL Studio 6. I wanted to try making songs strictly in FL Studio (although I caved in and went back to Nuendo).

Thanks for the review, and I've been checking out a lot of your stuff. I'm very much liking it.

[Pursued by a Madman]

Whoa!

I love this piece. I want to marry it. The percussion and choir vaguely reminds me of Metal Gear Solid 2 songs like "Arsenal is Going to Take Off" and such. The only problems are that it doesn't loop perfectly and the high tremolo strings can get annoying

Setu-Firestorm responds:

Yeah sorry. I noticed that as well. I'm a huge fan of high tremolo strings, and this piece acted as a lesson to me of what happens when you drown a piece in too much of one instrument.

[-Joyful Glory-]

Awesome.

Way better than I could do! This sounds on par with some of the songs that come with FL(you are using FL, right?)!
I don't really have much to say since I've never been much of an audio critic, but this is awesome.

Father-of-Death responds:

thnx dude!!!

yes i use FL

[-Orr-A Hero Reborn]

Wow.

Running out of praises, and lacking the classical knowhow to point out mistakes, I must declare this song perfect and sign you to a major record label. Have fun on your world tour!

DavidOrr responds:

Where do I sign?

[-Orr- -PURSUIT- Theme]

Nice.

It's incredibly well-done--the clarity, composition, and--well--everything--is top-notch. You ought to be composing for the next Hollywood blockbuster. It's just that awesome. I hope that someday I'll be as good as you. I'm running out of praises.

DavidOrr responds:

I hope someday I do get a chance to write the soundtrack to a big movie!

Thanks for the support!
