Troisnyx's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mighty Jungle]

The high voice is good, but the lower voices don't match -- it's like the chords are off. D: Really, this could've been a good song -- plus, the original Lion King version was acapella. Get your chords right, and it'll be awesome in no time!

Naua responds:

Dont worry, I wasn't serious in this a capella. I just wanted to have some fun. I can totally do a lot better. Thanx though, I need to know things like this.

[12-Bar Blues]

My thoughts on this one --

1. It's quite short, and as much as I know it's 12-bar blues, I would really love to see this built up further as a standalone piece.
2. I love easy listening, and this was a good listen. Cheered me up even! :D
3. I have some qualms about the piano at around 0:09: it does sound a tad messy on the right hand.
4. Is everything at the same tempo? I somehow feel a slight slowdown at the end (tempo envelopes?) might help -- the ending isn't so abrupt now, but it could be made even less so.

Now TBH, I have no idea why this was voted down so much... I enjoyed this piece a lot, kinks or no kinks. Thanks for sharing!

The-iMortal responds:

Thanks for the review. Yes, I reckon it does go out of time as it's live playing. Pretty unpro, but hey, it's a bit of fun :)

[In Dm - STD - Boss Level]

My thoughts âEU"

1. The bells at the intro aren't the best, but they're good for an ominous start. Have them a bit deeper and more pronounced, perhaps?
2. Those laughs at around 1:15 were freaky. D: Would've scared me out of my five wits if I was listening in the dark!
3. There was a general atmosphere of tension, which I can imagine in a game's battle stage âEU" perhaps for a specific type of enemy or boss. I can't imagine this with a lot of enemies, but I like where you're taking the beat and accompaniment.
4. I can't comment much on the mixing because I'm not too good with it, but it isn't as hard on the ears as some of my tracks can be, so that's a good thing. : )

Keep up the good work!

The-iMortal responds:

Thanks for the review! :)

[Fallen Blood ~P~ (Teaser)]

I love the dissonnance, and my first impression was that it wasn't going to have a dynamic range, but I was proved completely wrong when you had that synth to build things up.

I can't say much because this is the intro, but I am looking forward to hearing this track from you.

[Zelda's Lullaby - Minish]

Simply beautiful!

I haven't much to say about this piece in general except that I must commend you for the orchestration. I've heard this in OOT and the flutes actually go well with this version - I'm sure you're happy with this. I am! ^_^

As for the ocarina SF, there is an entire thread pertaining to Soundfonts on the Audio Forums. There are a number of zip files you want to check out. I downloaded a few of them, and there are a few ocarina SFs inside.

This is going into my little, but ever-expanding, favourites list.

JosephAS1 responds:

thanks n.n

[FEAST - Apache]

Wrong genre...

This SHOULD have landed in Ambient - the drums just don't make it classical.

That aside, points to ponder:

1. Whatever synth that was that sounded like water drops - that was BEAUTIFUL. They added to the piece and reminded me of a running brook.
2. The orchestration in general was quite alright, but the drums gashed it. Thing is, the orchestration sounds like it has room for tempo to be varied, and sounds good when it stands alone, but the drums offsetted this terribly. Now it sounds like the strings are slightly offbeat.

FEAST responds:

The slow attack of the strings make the drums sound offbeat. If anything the strings are offbeat. Well, they aren't, they just appear to be. In the full version it kinda breaks out into full on dance music. Also, I believe the water drops are very high pitch snare hits. Also, I don't really know the difference between ambient and classical. Nor do I care. It's all just music to me who cares what label somebody slaps on it because they think it sounds a certain way.

As far as the drums gashing the piece...

F U !!!

[Disappeared-Kingdom Hearts 2]

Some points to ponder

I salute your for your note accuracy. Disappeared is one of the more difficult pieces to produce, as far as chords and notes are concerned.

Some things to rectify -
1. Have you got any choir samples? The introduction would sound a lot more ominous with choir samples. Newgrounds' Audio Portal has some very good ones for you to look at.
2. Your dynamic range doesn't vary too much after the intro. It's disappointing, because 1:38 - 1.58 is the climax of the loop right before it resolves and goes back to its starting point.
3. The piano could be a bit more pronounced in all places.

Having played KHII (and Final Mix+) and enjoyed it, these are the changes I can suggest. Otherwise, brilliant work, and I say, keep it up!

[March for the New Horizon]

Astoundingly beautiful. <3

I love these chords, and these chords tell me that you've got skill. I picture this as a battle theme, perhaps a chase leading to something greater. ^_^

My only pickle is the lack of dynamics - even a slight change from mezzo forte to forte would be good for this piece.

Favourited. Keep up the good work!

GoldenSunRising responds:

Duly noted. I'm uploading an edited version with more dynamic variation now. Thanks so much for your comment!

[Oath to order-Orchestrial edit]

Having watched the walkthrough of MM to the end...

...you've captured the emotion perfectly. I can imagine this playing towards the end, right before Link is taken up to the moon.

I love this version. Kudos. ^_^

Warhector responds:

thanks man ! :D

[<PS> Variations on a Carol]

Having been acquainted with this carol...

...and with church bells - I find this a rather grandiose interpretation of the original. Comes second to plainchant and some orchestral Christmas music, but I love this. Kudos!

PenguinSam responds:

I'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you! I always thought of church bells as very grandiose, and this carol reminded me of them. So naturally, a grandiose composition came about using it. I'm glad you love it, thank you for the listen!
