Fuzzy-L0g1c's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Minecraft o, Note Blocks]

Very well done! I'm surprised it only took you 5 1/2 hours. Sounds are great and you have good build-ups and melodies.

[Premientor - WindWielder (W/Dr]

I think the intro was way too long. I was about to quit listening until the rest of the instruments started. Starting at 1:00, one of the instruments (it might be percussion or strings) was playing eight notes or something in the bass and it started to get quite unnerving, and I felt very relieved at 1:22. I think you may have side chained something too much, or you should get rid of whichever instrument is playing repetitively in the background. I hope you understand what I am trying to say, I think it would make the song a lot easier to listen to. You have great melodies and layering, but the percussion and bass is hogging too much attention.

Thanks for the review! I could always make the intro shorter and give more balance to it!

Beautiful voices. I really like the kind of vocalizations used in this song. All tracks blend together well to make a good sound. I wasn't expecting the change at 1:05 but I really liked it! However, I don't think it blended out well at 1:59. You could've used some type of strategy for transitions such as different percussion, a sound effect, or white-noise-rise.
I think you did a good job blending together classical voice with electronic instruments.
Was the lead voice a sample or did someone sing it? If it's a sample, please tell me how I can get it! :)

TrojanMan87 responds:

All this was sampled in music maker jam. I believe the vocals were from the movie music 4 pack. I'm still learning to blend and I agree that part could of been blended better.

[XBM4i3]

This sounds amazing!
The intro melody is very catchy and great build up to :26. However, I think you could've used a better sample for the lead instrument at the start (is it supposed to be a violin?) I say the same for the horn that starts at :26.
Great melodies and layering, you have great compositional skills. The percussion is also done very well to add to the feel of the song. I like the voice instrumentation that starts at :48.
I think the change at 1:11 is too abrupt. Perhaps you could add some sort of sound effect or white-noise-rise to make it more smooth?
I don't like how you fade it out at the end. Something as exciting and catchy as this song shouldn't fade out. You should have a good ending.
Overall, the song is very intense and I really enjoyed listening. Keep it up!

Thank you! <3
I don't have any good samples and have no intention of paying for better ones, so this song was made entirely from free samples and soundfonts. However, you're right in that I may want to improve the sample quality somehow or another. Some tweaking and remastering may be needed to bring out more from this song.
Speaking of endings and transitions, this song is actually a loop and therefore has no ending. However, I'm not sure what the timing for loops on Newgrounds is (all my attempts to upload loops so far have resulted in the song cutting short), so I uploaded a pre-looped version. That's why it fades out at the end, and also why the transition is so abrupt - the loop point is pretty rough and I need to fix it.

[Magical Tragical]

Some constructive criticism:
First of all, I think you could use some better samples. The melody piano sounds seemed too loud and surprising. Also, some notes in the melody seemed a bit off-key, but that may be what you have been going for. I'm not sure if I'd call it sad or tragic, it sounds more dramatic to me.
I think you did a good job by layering the two tracks together - good harmony.

yetanotherjohn responds:

I appreciate the feedback.Thanks!

[In comes the merc]

Great inflections with the piano. I like the change of percussion, and the whole song has a great vibe. It loops well. Can't wait to hear the full thing. Keep it up!

[The Melody (Original Mix)]

Great sounds and melodies! The transitions and buildups are perfect. I did get slightly bored at 2:04 to 3:35, I think you could've shortened that part. Great vibe, I really enjoyed listening to this. :)

[sweet_robot_party]

Great vibe, but the cymbal started annoying me. Good melodies.

Zump responds:

Cool, good to know. Thanks for the review.

[New Day]

Awesome melodies and chords! I think you could've focused more on designing your synths and making it sound 'bigger.' You are very talented in composition but in order to make electronic music you have to be well rounded in various fields of music production. I'm sure you will do great because you are just beginning and your music already sounds good. Keep it up!

Voladous responds:

Thank you so much for this comment. With this being my second song I made and all I really enjoyed how descriptive and insightful your comment was. I am sill trying to better myself in making my music and I really appreciated this. Thank you!

[Casino]

I agree with the person below me. Your compositional skills are great but it's important to get some good samples and know how to mix and master eventually. I started composing and I used a free music notation software, so I had bad sound quality on my first songs. You are doing great so far but I reccomend you look into mixing and mastering. It can make your music sound a lot more full. Keep it up!
