Coop's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[** \ Fro's Theme / **]

Not bad.

A good effort, but lacking in variation, to be honest and somewhat brutal about it.

There is a decent foundation, but I think that this piece really needs a big lead guitar solo, just to finish it off. When I'm expecting the solo, it doesn't come. The early part with the speedy part doesn't count for me, as it feels like the bass tries to keep pace.

If you were to stick this on a Flash submission, I'd say it works well with beat 'em ups, as my girlfriend playign Soul Calibur in the background really works nicely :)

Hum ... The guitar solo at the begining isn't enough, well. I will see if I can fox that problem ; ). Nice to hear that this song goes well in the background lol. Thanks for the review Coop.

[<--Heaven and Earth-->]

Two worlds, as one.

A nice piece, with a rather unusual sounding instrument selection for the main focus after the piano.

There really aren't many instruments that can draw attention away from the piano, but this is one that overshadows it in the duet. Keep it up!

It's a good length, but I would stress that a little more variation is required. Perhaps a little percussion in there would assist a lot more.

DjCompass responds:

Thanks. I know what you mean, finding things that come out over piano can be a pain XP Or else, way to easy...

[Forgotten Love]

Take it further

This track isn't a bad start, but I feel that in order to make a proper classical piece, you really do need to aim for 3-6 minutes. One minute really isn't long enough to express yourself in this medium, particularly on a Piano (Harp?)

I think that you've got what it takes to expand upon this loop, but I don't think that loops have any part within the classical genre, unfortunately.

[Xperiment - Grid]

Not bad for an experiement

I think this tune has what it takes - nice variation, beat, rhythm and a good sense of what comprises a good trance anthem.

If I could have said anything, there needs to be more variation in the part between 2 and 3 minutes, as it seems to get a little monotonous then, but that is due to such a fine tweak that it's almost imperceptible.

The track skips a half note in the middle as well, which I would certainly attend to as well...

[Death Ditty~Listen At Own Risk]

You're full of shit

I just thought I'd get my opinion across now before we start, so that everyone knows where they stand.

Sounds to me like an experimental piece, that isn't particularly creepy or anything, but the instrument sound that you've got that sounds like rattling a stick in a tin can is a great little addition to the piece in a whole.

I think it needs to be longer and include more things like variation, giving a whole new dimension to this piece.

[Fancy Mike - Heavy feat. WS]

A little slow

I think that despite this piece being a heavy one, you need to take something else into account - big lumbering machines can move faster than this, so give it a go - just up the tempo a little, as this is too slow for my liking.

After it's had a quick shot in the arm for the tempo, you can add something else like keyboards, just to maybe pick out other parts of this track, which sounds borderline industrial at the moment.

[==(Repairing a Broken Sky]

Nice work

You're absolutely right - I sat back and had some breakfast, while listening to this and feel so much better for having done so. The piece is so relaxing, it's unbelievable.

However, it's more than just that - it's deep. There is so much on offer in the scale of variation and other peripherals, that you can quite easily get lost in it.

I think that I would have had a section within the track where I left out the high pitched twinkling sound in the background of this tune, as it does get a little annoying after a while. Other than that, this track is awesome :)

[Flight Of The BumbleBee -Alix1]

Left hand needs some work

Not a bad piece, but I think that you needs some work with your left hand, as some of the notes you played there were off the mark.

However, it didn't do too much to make the piece bad, per se. It has however been done quite a few times before, so you will inevitably lose marks for that.

I look forward to hearing something original and longer from you.

alix1 responds:

I did not use a keyboard to do this. I put the notes into FL Studio where they needed to go. As far as I know I was right on mark. Thanks anyway for the review!

[What's This? {^}-{Alix1}-{^}]

Nice cover

I think that this tune sounds a bit one dimansional, in comparrison to the original, when you consider that there was so much going on in Christmastown. I'd certainly tell you to consider adding something that's going to increase the dimensions of the tune, like something from the mixing deck - some percussion wouldn't go amiss at all, without ruining the piano being overshadowed - remember, the piano is a dominant piece in any orchestra, much like an organ.

Still, you've captured the essence of the tune and have managed to get it together very well.

alix1 responds:

Thanks for the review man!
sorry it took so long to reply to this!
I was a little busy with some other legal matters. (i was in the wrong place at the wrong time) lol
yeah it does sound a bit flat. Im still getting better.
thanks for the review!

[Fancy Mike - Monsterville]

I'm not sure

It's kind of repetitive and I'm not entirely sure if the notes are all properly tuned together. It sounds slightly random, so needs some work to pick it all up together and give this piece some form.

It doesn't loop well either, which means I'm going to have to say that we need more variation in it and it needs to be around 3 minutes long to get everything firing correctly.
