TheMerelyHuman's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Timelessness]

There's somewhere to go!

I like your choice of time signature. You threw me off with your intro in a VERY good way. I would have liked to see you shift from the duple to triple meter much more. I also think you could have used more synths and pads to create more of a foundation for your wonderful bass lines! Keep developing and thickening your sound!

Happy composing!

[*Are You Ready?*]

Try out some variety!

All you need here is a really nice bridge that is separate from the chord progression you had throughout the piece! The song started to drag on a bit for me because of a lack of development in countermelody, etc. I encourage you to explore that; new synths, new lines, new bass! Try it out!

Happy composing!

[Sundivine-in the clouds PREV]

YES....YES...and YES!

Lovely intro (the drop SO did not disappoint). Your use of reverb STRENGTHENED your already wonderful synth choice. Your percussion's pauses worked really well with me! I'm dancing in my seat! LOVE IT!......but it should be like 3 times as LONG!

THX:DD i really thought it sounded like shit XD and bout the lenght:im still working on it hope you will enjoj the finale outcomme too:DDwhile your at it id apreciate if u give a like to mah facebbok:DD:)

[ZP // Elan (Remix Demo WI]

Nice atmosphere!

I was slightly disappointed with the bass in your kick. Only because your introduction to the drop was so GOOD! After the drop, there wasn't much development of the melody, but this is a solid piece! Maybe a new chord progression or countermelody would be a nice surprise, next time!

CHEERIOS! Happy composing,

SugarSimon responds:

i'm sorry man, I was turn down the volume on the bassdrums and up on the basslines. I remix again.

[Softly (Jazz Loop)]

Very...loopy! :D

I would have said it lacked continuity, but it's a loop! Love it! It'd work well for a game that has a lot of reading words on the screen! :)

[Diminishing]

Really AMBIENT!

The pads were leveled reeeeally well in the song and took me into a great atmosphere. I would have lowered the high hat a bit! But the chord progressions really brought out the ambience. Not too much embellishment which really worked! AWESOME! :D

And the breakdown of percussion around 1:35 just had me saying "Yes!" lol...I would have varied the bassline at that part to compliment it a little bit, but great jooob! :)

Chuggernog responds:

Thanks man! yea i could see that part needs work.

[Beautiful Blue Wings]

Nice synths!

Really great submission! I liked the A section a lot better than the others. I could have done without the others, to be honest, only because the synthwork in the first section was my favourite. But the ambience of the song reaaaaally worked in the end! I think it could have used more energy, but the synth work was really good with no clashes!

[Redeemed Victory]

I would level up to this music any day....

It absolutely just tickles my fancy! The melody is catchy and you complimented it with your bass job! Love it!

SirKoto51 responds:

lol, I'm glad to know that it tickles your fancy. Thanks for the feedback. :)

[How Do I Continue This!!!!????]

Lots of potential!

I saw your post in the audio portal and I just want to let you know that in whatever genre you are looking to specialize in, listen to just instrumentals in them and listen to the development. Start by mimicking it and adding itself to your own style and soon, by drawing influences from anywhere, you will have your own sound! It doesn't happen overnight, but you can do it. You already have a hold of moving aronud a bit in keys, but you want when people listen to your music that you have something that is different and innovative! You have yet to discover it, but just dig within yourself, practice hard and DON'T STOP!

XD

MatrixGravity responds:

Hey thanks alot man i appreciate it i'll definitely try to keep at it.
It's nice to hear to hear some positive feedback for a change and some motivation from somebody aside from all the people telling me to quit and give it up.
I really do believe i have potential here and it'd be a shame to throw it all away just because of some non-believers.

[Reviving]

Oh my gosh!

Wow! These synths are just so unique in their tone and the way that you placed them! I love'em. I would have liked to see some more development in conutermelodies to end off the song (that's what I do, lol) but the feel of this is great!

TheBlackbyrd responds:

Im highly appreciative of your feedback man. thanks. :)
