Coop's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Winter Dream]

Walking on fresh snow...

... looking over an icy paradise of untouched countryside on a bright sunny morning. It's perfect.

That's just the problem, it's too perfect for this to be a reality - I'd suggest that you add something in there to accompany the niceties of the orchestra - something like a little percussion or some woodwind to signify birds... something to give a little activity to the piece.

Otherwise, it sounds a little 2-D for my liking.

BlazingDragon responds:

All of my other pieces are the exact opposite; sad and mournful. This is really an exception. :P

I definitely see what you are saying though. The limited number of instruments does put a limit on the pieces activity. However, I had a specific goal in mind with this. I wanted to see how I could create variety using only a limited instrumental pallet and a very simple form utilizing three simultaneous melodies. I did try to create some variety with the string arpeggios later on, combining and strings and woodwinds, etc.

Thanks for the review,
~Blaze

[Journey through Dreams]

Dreams can differ...

This one is unlike any dream tune that I've ever heard. It's moredark and mysterious, so it could be a nightmare, if you toned down the melody and gave us something a little more sinister, methinks.

I think that another thing to improve this track would be to slow the tempo down just a smidgeon, if you're looking for sinister, that is - evil things tend to lurk in the darkness and wait for the time to strike...

Bob-Music responds:

One of the main intruments didn't export properly and I've only just realised, I think the sinister-ness relies on it!

Thanks for your review

Good tunage

I think this one could be a hit in clubs if you added some sultry vixen's vocals over the top, just for about 6 lines that you can throw into the song to give the saleability of this track a nudge in the right direction - people are more likely to buy a track if they sing the lyrics, plus it gets passed on easier.

Still, for Techno, you don't really need lyrics, but this could cross quite easily into the realms of mainstream trance as well.

BBQSandwich responds:

Yeah but I don't have a mic and i'll have to use one of those robotic things, and they suck P: Thanks for tah revyew!

[<==Silver Strut==>]

Strut your stuff!

It sounds like a high class hooker walking along here, but then it becomes more of a club scene almost instantly, as she passes her bag to a minder and starts dancing provocatively on the floor, before walking around the club, sneering at the less wealthy clientelle.

That's how I saw it anyway. I'd have turned the volme down on it slightly, as it's a little rough around the edges.

DjCompass responds:

Ahaha! Nice image! I'm glad to hear that your seeing more than just a silver road like i got XD
I mainly used 3xOSC, so ya, it is a little rough around the edges. Why must all the good synths cost money that i don't have (yet...)? Oh well.
Thanks for the review ^^

[<==Raining Rage==>]

Suspenseful

This sounds like one of those tracks that gets played as a backing track for when the bad guy is revealing certain key plot points to the characters prior to the main boss fight, then we get the big fanfare and all fire battle for survival that usually follows in these games.

I think that you could make it into a loop, which would be much better for the state of inclusion in a movie, as sometimes the boss does tend to get full of himself and go on for a little longer than this.

A very good use of the low chords and also with the blend of the keyboard in the background.

DjCompass responds:

Ooh, i like that image. However, i'm not a particularly loopy person, so i doubt if i'll be making one. But if someone wants a loop of this song, feel free to contact me, and it will be done.
Thanks for the review.

[(prev.) ChromoMiyx]

Take it further

It's a decent start, but I think that you could add things to it - other sounds from the keyboard would be nice, possibly an electric piano sound, to solidify the melody, rather than the beat and the rhythm that you've got here.

A stronger bass beat would also help, but be careful not to overdo it - that would be so easy to do with a track of this kind of softness.

Also, fix the looping issue, it would be much better then.

~it's a preview, so that'll happen, THNX~

[(_RGH_) Aero(on a plane) ".(."]

Not bad

This one has more good potential, but I think that the bass needs toning down slightly - it gets a slight static style feedback coming through my speakers and i haven't changed for the other stuff I've listened to, which is fine.

The length and variation are nice, allowing the listener to stay focussed, while at the same time staying within the constraints of the original concept.

RyeGuyHead responds:

Yea I'm gonna upload a remastered version tonight, thanks

[(_RGH_) Abyss (Dark Pico)]

Good tune

Though it takes alittle while to get going, this is a nice piece of work. A little light on the pace and beat for techno, but I think you've got a good start in this genre in all honesty.

I think that your best bet for improvement is to knock up the tempo and possibly add a more powerful bass beat - let the tune mark its authority on the world of Techno.

RyeGuyHead responds:

off beat bass would probably work...

[Jason Needs A Girlfriend 3]

Are you Jason?

So we've seen some improvement, compared to Jason I, there are some issues with the feedback in the first few seconds of the track that I'd really take some time to tidy up, as it will make the instruments sound a lot better.

As for the lyrics, they are so perverted and wrong, that they make Eminem look like a church going prude. You've got some issues and I think that you really need to take some time to come up with something that suits this type of music, rather than going on about wanting to suck a guy's titties.

Failing that, pass the metal tunes that you've created on to friends and get them to come up with some lyrics for you and that would certainly help - they aren't your strong point, so outside help may be neccessary.

KlanMaster911 responds:

YOU ARE JASON! DONT YOU KNOW THAT BY NOW!?!?!?!?!?! FAGGOT!

[Jason Needs A Girlfriend]

Yeah...

I'm sure the music was good in the background, but I couldn't hear it too well, due to the random Tourette's Syndrome yelling in the foreground. If you're going to try 'singing' like that, step back from the mic and try to carry the tune.

If it was Rap, try to make the words sound a little poetic and keep time with the beat, as this bears no relevance to the music that is struggling away in the background.

I'd consider adding drums to the tune itself, as that would make it more imposing, especially with the power chords that you've used here.
