Coop's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fantasia Nocturne No.2]

Not a bad solo

Not sure why, but this one sounds a little on the muted site, as if the pianist is quite some distance from the mic. Maybe a little remastering could help with this. I'd reccomend that you speak to someone like Jurian, who is a master at Piano and probably with converting them to audio files as well, since he puts his own work on NG in the same way.

I think that this tune sounds less joyous, compared to the first part. I think it is more reminiscent of the cassanova, who tried, but failed to woo his chosen lady this evening and now he laments, folornly.

There is always next time. Who knows.

um omg you nailed it perfectly your the only one to get it right, :D you have a good ear and thanks for the advice, but accually xKore is accually working on it for me at the moment, i kept getting the same review that the muffled sound took away from it so i asked him to help since he did the first one, so i should be up in a day or so i'll let you know when that happens but thanks for the review

[Fantasia Nocturne No.1]

Cinderella goes to the ball!

A nice piece, certainly consistent with these big lavish partys thrown by aristocratic types. Possibly with something more sinister lurking in the background as well, but we can look into that at a later date.

I like the way that it plays out, the beat is nice and it sounds as if it would lend itself quite well to a string quartet accompanying the piano, just to add a little more life to the proceedings.

sarias responds:

again you are good at this, your not exact this time but your close, its about a guy who is all alone, but then he meets this girl where he instantly falls in love with at first sight, but there is a guy lurking who is also in love with this girl, so he kidnaps her, and he chases after them, but he is too late, becasue he has forced her to marry him against her own will, but he atlast saves her in the end, in a duel to the death where he wins

[Town Theme Loop]

Link's home

Simple, effective, quaint. This reminds me more of the sort of tunes that you expect to find in LoZ games or Simon the Sorcerer, from the country houses. Excellent, as there aren't enough of them in the world :)

I think you can take this further by developing other themes that go with this sort of settings, such as the market theme, boss theme and castle etc. This could certainly lead to you taking it further when someone comes after a few for a game or movie project.

sarias responds:

i cant figure out if you like it out not because you make it sound like you hate it terrible because im no the first person to make a town theme, im not sure if you like it out not tell me that. i wasn't the first person to make a town theme, but nither was pokemon, or neither was zelda, and they didn't get sarcasm thrown at them

[MAC 2008 - Monster]

Slow and steady

I can almost feel the tears running down my cheeks with this one.

I can see this as the grief of someone who has lost a loved one and is standing at their graveside in the pouring rain, wishing that they had died in place of the loved one.

There are a few issues with your chord notes, at about 1.30 to 2.00, you really become aware of one of the chords being on the sharp side of things, which really doesn't sound good when it's on its own. When you add the other instruments, it blends in a lot better, so you don't really get a chance to notice it.

Sorting that out would be a great boon.

Scribbler responds:

Nice imagery. I will listen to the notes you pointed out and fix the problems. Thank you.

[.:Sleepless Nights v2:.]

Enchanting

This song has a great deal going for it - you've given us a nice relaxing tune, despite the harsh sound of the low chord that you keep throwing in there for the beat every fourth note. I'd suggest having that as a held note, rather than such a sudden end of it.

Reminds me of part of Final Fantasy, where they go into the ice caves - with all the twinkling of the light off the perfect ice crystals. Sublime.

GronmonSE responds:

You know, I hadn't thought about that (referring to the chords thing). I'll try it out and see how it turns out.

Thanks for the review :D

[-Stormy Dream- |[Glou]|]

Weird, but good

Not a bad combination of the sounds in this one, you've given it a blissful sounding happiness about this tune, that brings a smile to even the most grizzled office worker.

The beat is good and the melody is, but I think that you could do more on the variation front, possibly throwing in a few curveballs, such as pauses in the beat, while the melody picks it up strongly.

Gloudas responds:

K i'll take that into consideration, I guess I need to work on my melodies and whatnot to ensure variety. Thanks for the criticism and review

[Jxl180 - Run With It]

Not bad

I think that the bass is a little rough around the edges and you've got a conflict between parts of the tune, where the timings clash. Smooth out these rough edges and we've got a great little tune in the making.

I think that the ending was a powerful piece, but not really of the same type as the rest of the track, so that should be taken into a separate work and elaborated upon.

thank you for taking the time to review,

[Tell Your Mother]

Vocal Sample

I think that you've produced a simple loop that even someone like me could get away with for the purposes of the Audio Portal. All it sounds like is someone remonstrating loudly into the mic.

I'd have appreciated this to be combined with music, as that's the real beauty of the Audio Portal and the great stuff you can find there. I'm fortunate to feel that I'm not the only one who feels this, judging by the score of this piece.

Of course, when you've added music to this piece, you'd need more vocal samples to take it further. Keep experimenting and give us something else to review.

KlanMaster911 responds:

Alright.

[Dont Listen To This Song!]

Hmm

I think that for your next piece, you need to come up with some sort of song with substance. This just seems like a random collection of sounds, with no real direction. The reason I gave you 3 stars was because some of the sounds did actually sound good. Take those, like the metal guitar riff and build on them

Once you've got that as the basis for a tune, expand on it, so that you've got something that wouldn't just be miscelaneous, for example...

KlanMaster911 responds:

SUCK MY DICK WITH THE NEXT PIECE OF SHIT!!!!!!!

BURN!!!

[Soul Summon]

To you?

Sorry, but I can get a better price elsewhere. This piece isn't the best I've heard by a long shot. You need to concentrate on adding other things to the tune, rather than a dodgy little vocal sample.

Beat. Melody. Counter-melody. Those are the three things that you need to produce to make a nice sounding tune. You need to work on those three, before you consider trying to add the vocal samples to the piece.

KlanMaster911 responds:

I dont know what melody I can add.

It sounds fine as it is.

HEY, YOU LOOK LIKE A FAG!
