Troisnyx's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Never Wake Me Up]

Right off the bat, I'm not the best RNB appreciator, but I do love Summer's voice -- and the vocal layers. Is that her on the piano as well? Would you like to encourage her to make an NG page?

BlazingDragon responds:

You know, I've never been a big R&B fan either, but I think her piano playing and vocals really make this stand out. I'm not sure if she wants to put all of her music under creative commons, but I'd love for her to get a newgrounds page. Really, I just want her music to get more exposure!

Thanks for the review, Trois!

Edit: Summer said that she did not play the piano on this one. The production was done by Natrell Anderson.

[Zafrece - Tunnel Dive]

I have to agree with Sequenced. The bass and kick frequency muddling is something that I have had in some of my previous works, so yes, we've all been there. : )

The feeling I got from this when I first heard it, before the other parts started kicking in, was that I was in this testing facility with smoke in all corners of the room, it was hazy and dark. This is what trance is all about: carrying the listener over in the tide, and having him come up with inspired sequences from that little trance he had.

Keep up the good work!

Zafrece responds:

Ya, im uncertain what to do about that kick and the bass fighting for hertz control. That bass takes up a huge lower range and with out it taking up so much room i lose out on a massive amount of body it gives the song. I might have to learn how to make a decent kick for next time so i can put the hertz where i need them, rather out of the way of everything else. Also thanks, i really got the feel for trance with this song. i'm glad i could take you some where else for a brief amount of time.

Thanks for taking time to leave a comment m8 and ill try to work on mixing better next time.

[Christe Redemptor Omnium]

That is all I can muster right now... tears. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Happy Advent. Pax Christi sit semper tecum.

bassfiddlejones responds:

Et cum spiritu tuo, friend. :) Happy Advent.

[Elfin ~P~ (Teaser)]

It's a preview, so I can't say much for now, but I like how this preview began: awesome buildup, and very good violin use. Are the same chords going to be used throughout the piece though?

Phyrnna responds:

Similar, this one only has three sets of chord progression in it. Thanks for the review! :D

[Memories]

Sad, and creepy if I do say so myself. I can imagine this perfectly in a tragic villain's flashbacks. My only pet peeve is that the celesta sometimes gets drowned by the strings. Otherwise, it's simply beautiful. Thanks for sharing this! ^_^

sorohanro responds:

Thanks for review. I guess I'm a bit creepy and sad in my mind/heart.

[Full Circle]

I got Final Fantasy X vibes with the intro, then the synths came in and gave me a Final Fantasy X-2 vibe. That's not a bad thing: if there's one thing I love about X-2, it's the music. :D

Your dynamics in this piece are excellent, and then when you get quieter around 2:24, it gives you a vibe as though you are inside the body of Sin (another Final Fantasy X reminder). Very, very atmospheric, and very heartfelt.

OpenLight responds:

Thank you! I really value your reviews.

[Five Renaissance Tunes]

Considering that I've gotta be acquainted to some degree with Palestrina, Thomas Tallis and chant in general, I appreciate these things. :D

Why not try joining them together to make one full piece? I know that these are studies, but one could do with a full-blown contrapuntal piece when there are very few of them around.

descara responds:

I thought about joining them together, but I figured since I'm supposed to do a Kyrie Eleison sooner or later I'll wait until then with making a whole piece in the style of Palestrina. Plus, I was lazy :P

[A Newgrounds Legacy]

When you said this is your best piece yet, I had to take a listen. <3 The intro caught me very much, and the piano arpeggios made me get lost in the piece. The key changes were sudden, but not too sudden as to catch me off guard.

The entire piece is atmospheric, and 1:40 (around that) sounds like a heroic ascent.

The section from 1:50 to 2:18 doesn't sit too well, but the buildup after that explains that section even better.

I favourited this piece before I could give a review. Thanks so much for sharing it with me. x

Bosa responds:

You're welcome, and thank you for the review!

[Slow and Safe]

This, right off the bat, sounds like action game title screen music or something along those lines. I am liking what I hear very much. My only pet peeve is that some things don't come on the beat or almost on the beat (especially before 1:00).

I really love the pads around 1:24, and the general feel of the music there.

The off-beat strings come back at 1:36... then when the drums fade away, it sounds like it's on time. I'm not sure whether it's got to do with the way the synths work (the delay that is already in them.)

At any rate, great job.

eatmeatleet responds:

Thanks for review.

In general it sounded really good when I put it together so I decided not to change it up a lot.

It may or may not have some delay mistakes. I am sure I timed it together right. It might just be delay and attack creating such an effect.

Thanks for notes, ill look into those things more next time
