Troisnyx's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Johnny VerBeck (a capella)]

^_^

I love the expression. A LOT.
The singing is off in a few parts, and it got faster towards the middle - but your voice is really good! This could double as a good voice demo.

Favourited.

Echnaret responds:

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. Yeah, my pitch isn't the greatest. It's been a while since I actually sang, so hopefully if I continue, it will get better.

[Ragtime Experiment]

Honestly...

For a film score, this would work quite well. I love the syncopation - it's very typical of ragtime, and I can imagine it in a short black-and-white film. ^_^

I came across this because I thought to myself, surely a ragtime experiment coming from you would not sound terrible. And no, it was far from terrible. Some parts were repetitive, but hey, weren't early pop songs about the same? The only thing was that the ending sounded a bit chaotic, but the rest of the piece was a joy to listen to.

VooDooCompositions responds:

Thank you :) I agree about the ending actually. To be honest, I had written this before I started studying much theory ect. I just studied a few ragtime scores and cranked this out as practice. I'm glad you liked as much as you did, however :) Thank you again.

[Lonely Places]

Simply beautiful.

This piece has the expression that a lot of pieces don't seem to have. Ten, coming from a musician who submits in this genre. Keep up the good work!

nicholasmetts responds:

Thank you! It means a lot to hear that from other musicians! I'm really glad that I can write something that is considered beautiful and thought provoking.

[P22 - Welcome Home]

I get the idea behind the piece, but...

The chords aren't really the best used with the melody in this one, and neither is the pad by itself (or the strings with the pad). I trust, that if you keep the melody, and use chords which fit it more, it'll really sound like a sad homecoming piece.

I know I'll have to rate this piece down, but I'll give you this: you've got ideas, and really good ones at that. Try building up on them, and you'll shine!

Periculous22 responds:

Thanks for the review, I'm trying to figure out MIDI, VSTi s and synthesizing. I'm afraid I'm not to good at it yet. Alot of my previous work was made with samples but I want to start making something purely my own. Maybe I can take music along with law in college? xD

[P22 - The Things I Have Seen]

Okay, here goes.

It began quite well and ended quite well - the synthesised winds, the pad and the bells add to the ambience. Your chord work seems to be largely alright. The horns could definitely be turned down. The flute seems like a good addition, but it could do with a bit of tweaking. The flute melody seems a bit uncertain with the chords, but otherwise, it seems okay.

Dissonnance works well in places with the piece, but be sure not to overdo it. Build up on your harmony and instrument choice, and you'll be on your way.

Periculous22 responds:

Thanks for your review, I appreciate it when people aren't afraid to really do their best to help out and share their thoughts :)

[Spirit of The Forest]

Lovely.

This, friends, THIS is what I call piano sustain and chords done well.

ZuneInc responds:

Thanks :)

[A Capella test.]

Isn't that the Chocobo Theme?

I recognised the melody! ^_^
Good attempt at an a capella - pretty groovy. My only complaint is that it can get off at some places, but it's a really good test file nonetheless. And what's more, you sound happy singing it!

Zeldaman47 responds:

Yeah I knew I was off. But I keep tellin' people, "I'm not the best singer." Thanks for the review.

[Higgins667-Everyday-]

Good theme there.

The piano could do with a bit of sustain and expression, though. But it's quite a good theme nonetheless.

Higgins667 responds:

Meh. we all have our own opinion, in this case i happen to disagree because this is how i wanted it to sound. This isn't a classical piece, It is just a theme. Thanks anyways.

[Naruto Blue Bird]

I'm afraid I'll have to agree with the rest here..

It could be a bit more upbeat, and yes, another track (say, piano left hand) could've been added to it. Right now it'd qualify as a sample, which is good, but... >_>

Finalrush responds:

it could be upbeat but i wanted to make a more soft version of the song. that and i am still a bit of a beginer at piano so left hand is kinda hard for me right now >.<
thanks for your review!

[Da Da Di Dance]

Okay, here goes...

Nice intro pattern ^_^ The voice is lovely, but its timing can be slightly off. Again, as some people have said before me, this takes me back to the 90's techno songs I grew up with.

Nice job.

TheMadWasp responds:

Hello, thank-you for the review, I agree, the voice is slightly out of time in some places.
