SuperTonic64's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Domhail]

Nice one! :)

The only complaint I have about this song is that the intro needs to be a wee bit longer, but other than that, it would be great for an epic game song!

Good job! ^_^ I can't wait to hear more! :)

Bosa responds:

Yeah, but I wanted to get this one as short as I could, but still containing a story and still have some use.

Thanks for the review,
Bosa

[Orchestral Thing]

Hmm...suspenseful.

I only have a few suggestions for this piece:

1) Develop the melody a little more--it gets kinda redundant after a while, however, it is a little frighting. :D The bells (or whatever the moving notes you used) drive it along a little more.

2) Add some reverb--yes, reverb can make any orchestral piece go from flat to live in a matter of seconds. :D (Though, don't do too much, like I tend to do. :P)

3) Rename the sucker--Yes, "orchestral thing" does not *sound* like a very authentic name for a song. Next time, give it a name that means something to your, or your listeners. :)

Other than that, good job! ^_^ I can't wait to hear more from you. :)

thanks for teh advice. but this wasnt supposed to be a full song or anything, just testin things out.

[The Sorrowful Medley]

Wow! ^^

This song is heartfelt, meaningful, and it really expresses the sorrows of life and the world (and hitting little brothers, of course :D).

I love the arppegios that constantly run through the bass lines. You have a really nice grasp of polyphony and I love the grace notes that run through the piece. That adds real emotion and dynamic to the overall piece.

The only small gripe I have is the clarity. The song sounds just a little muffled, but other than that, it is a beatiful, expressive song.

Good job and I can't wait to hear more from you! ^_^

~Smartpoetic

(I'll PM you with that answer to the question you asked me about soundfonts. ;))

BlazingDragon responds:

Thanks a ton, you Smarty! :P I didn't notice it at first, but I can see how it is a bit muffled though. I wrote it in the Fl Studio demo though, and with no saving...A little late for editing, lol.

Thanks again for the awesome review! :D

[_-={A Place for Dreams}=-]

A beautiful melody...

I interpret this piece in many ways, from imagination waiting to be awakened to forever sleeping worlds.

I love how you incoprated the music box along with strings and that beautiful horn solo. Your sence of polyphony is awesome, and that's the sign of an awesome composer.

Great lullaby MaestroRage. I can't wait to hear more from you! ^_^

~Smartpoetic

(P.S.

Thank you for your help! :) I really appreciate it, believe me. :) )

MaestroRage responds:

I'm glad you enjoyed the piece smartpoetic, you nailed the song on the dot! The image I used was worlds, waiting to be born. I thought, just because nobody thought of that world yet, doesn't mean it didn't exist right? I can see the characters of that unborn world huddled together around a campfire, joking with each other, and just waiting.

"I bet i'll have to kill you >:)"
"Oh ple-EASE!"

And when the world is born, and the "creator" stops visiting that world... it returns to a state, undisturbed and free. Altered, changed, and perhaps destroyed by the "creator" for their whim.

It is a foolish sentiment I know, but it is one I thought about for a long while.

Thank you for the review!

(You're welcome, any time ;)

[Galatropolis]

Qber!!! :O

Finally, you're submitting to Newgrounds! ^_^

Now for teh review! :D

First off, I love the soft beginning in this techno song, following the piano entrance--very creative indeed. Then the percussion entrance is very cool, following the electronic piano sound (I think) that keeps this song flowing. This techno piece is very calm and flowing, and I love it!

Great job Qber! I expect a lot of good things to come from this piece, and your other works too! ^_^ 5/5 and a download from me! :)

~Smartpoetic (Smurtgarl. :D)

GameQber responds:

Thanks Smurt! :p

For me, no song is complete without some piano mixed in, and I'm pretty satisfied, myself, with how I blended it in there. The piano plays through the whole thing but it's very soft after the intro.

I don't think I ever posted a review on your song! D:

For everyone reading this, check out "Escape!" by smartpoetic. She wrote an amazing classical piece, in the Classical section of Newgrounds.

Thanks for your response, Smurt! :0)

[The Oath]

Very very awesome!

I loved this piece, especially the harpiscord and flute duet in the beginning. This song feels very heroic, sweet, and moving! ^_^

Keep up the good work! I can't wait to see what you come up with next! :)

--Smartpoetic

Love-Hate-War responds:

Thanks alot for the review! It's an old idea I had, i've just recently gathered together the effort to finish it :P Im glad you enjoyed it, look out for more in the future!

[FFX to ZANARKAND(reborn)]

...*shakes head*

Okay, let me give you some advice:

I've heard this song from the one that Nobou Uemanstu made...this is not your work. When I make video game music, I make my own MIDIs (from hours of listening to the game music), then put it into FLstudio and rework them.

1)Get you a music notation program, Finale 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 or any Finale program, really. Learn to write music on a staff, it really helps you when making it. You can look up Finale's website on google if you need it.

2)Once you learn the program well enough, start saving your work as MIDI files, and then use another program called FLstudio to put your music in. Its free, and only a demo, but I never need to save in it anyways, because most of the time you can do everything you need in one setting. You can look up FLstudio's website also on google. You'll also need to find some decent "soundfonts" for the program, but there are plenty of sites out there with soundfonts.

If you ever need help with any of these programs, or just music help in general, please email me at [e-mail].

Good luck in the future. :)

DesTroy-Kid responds:

Yea Thx man,i mean women,u too,good luck in the future yo...hehe...hehehahahhahahahhooahhaha(i will create the best songs i ever made!!!)

[Zelda: Minish Cap - Cloud Tops]

Finally!

I've been waiting for someone else to try their hand at this piece.

You put a lot of different flavors and textures into this song, but I think it would be better to bring out the basslines and maybe even the upper melodies in this song.

But otherwise, I love this originality that you put into it! Great job! ^_^

ZombiePosessor responds:

Sweet, thanks man.

[Trailer Music (War theme)]

Holy mother of pearl!

Awesome, thats all I can spit out of my mouth right now. I love the use of the timpani and cymbols to create that kind of ancient war time effect. Also, nice useage of the synth strings, too!

I can't wait to hear more of your music! ^_^

Serion responds:

Thanks :)

Expect more soon everyone! Thanks for your support and critisism (positive)!!
