GamekrazzyProduction's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[For All Redarkleons]

Okay... I love the use of the piano in this piece. The bass line is quite fluid... And the feel of the piece is jumpy and quite active. My biggest critique I can give you right now would be that it is quite easy to tell this is midi... There are no apparent fluctuations in the volume of the notes... When it comes to piano that would be key.. Notes you want to stick out more are generally at a higher volume, while as you will also follow a flow in which the volume of the notes follow the pitch. Lower pitch being lower in volume, and higher being higher in volume. These are very minuscule changes, but they make a remarkable difference in the depth and feel of your song. The song's structure was built quite well, although I am not to fond of the way you ended it. I hope that this review was helpful, and keep up the good work Blacklawn!

Blacklawn responds:

Thanks for reviewing. I did put velocity changes but it seems like people aren't noticing them much. I could remake the song to make these changes more apparent. As for the ending... Do you think it was too abrupt? It felt adequate to me.

[Cloud Nine]

A real catchy melody line you have going on here.. however slight repetitive it may be, I still find it entrancing. Nice use of a break at 3:09. I'm slightly disappointed at how much of this song is repetition of that entrancing melody, however the song is still quite good. You should probably work on the ending of the song a bit, as it just cuts off, and IMO, that is very meh... it ruins the quality of the piece.

Anyways, overall I would give this a 4.5/5 stars... Still a fantastic piece Aztech!

Kreyowitz responds:

Yeah, that was an error on the export at the end there, i'll have to go back and fix that if possible, if I still have the files that is. Anyways, glad you could still enjoy it, and good to hear from you!

[The Festival]

Fantastic ambient feel.... 0:48 kinda freaked me out lol
I love the transition into 1:00, and the melody after that is simply amazing!
I do wish it was longer though, you got that rush going on 2 minutes in and puff.... gone.

Anyways, Fantastic Piece. I enjoyed every second of it!

Step responds:

Hahaha, that diminished chord at the beginning. Yup it's creepy!

I'm glad you liked the transition. Quite a weird one, that transition. It's basically a "stop previous section, start new section" transition, but I somehow feel it works, especially thematically.

It isn't very long, I agree. But I need to prioritise - I don't have a lot of time nowadays and this is for a game with fairly short levels, so I either spend too much time making a long track and not finish all of the rest, or dish out the right amount of tracks, even if they're a bit short. I felt that I at least developed the track enough for it to justify its length though.

Thank you for reviewing :3. Got to hate it when my response is larger than the review haha.

[In The Meanwhile]

Well! I like this vibe! I definitely feel it's a WIP. So if you could turn this into something AWESOME! that'd be great!

ThePal responds:

Well, we'll see, we'll see...
But thanks for the motivation! :D

[Moving Am I]

Nice jams! This is a very moving song that really gives feels of moving along. The flow is paced very well, and the bass is fantastic... not too much, but not too little! The ending probably could have had a little more work, but overall this piece is quite good. 4/5

xxxZigZagxxx responds:

thanks gamekrazzy you were there since the start

[Don't Go]

...
Well it's very experimental to say the least... I mean there are some nice little melodies in this song, however... In all honesty... it sounds like you just placed patterns places without a care in the world as there was no real flow to the song...
Taking into effect that this song is under the experimental category, I would say it's very fitting... but perhaps you should put more effort into things like this... even if they are experimental.

MockOff responds:

Hmm, I don't really see much of no flow. Maybe the outro could have been constructed neater, but that's about it for me personally. Thanks for taking the time to listen though.

[The Runs Runner]

Lol, what'd you do? take a classic rock concept and write it with synth?

Either way it's not bad, however I do recommend a little something at 0:30... You know what it is to refresh a melody right? Otherwise this seems like the finished project will likely be a bit repetitive.

Overall I like the song... I'd add a few more parts in, but that's just me. For a WIP, it is still quite good. 4 out of 5 stars.

8-bitheroes responds:

Yeh its pretty much a rock n roll progression, I know thats a lame concept in this day and age but it was catchy so I ran with it. It deffinitly needs extra parts in there but its abit out of my element haha so not sure what il do.

[Fisherman's Fantasy]

A fantastical Beautiful Balled my friend!
When the lyrics came in... I wasn't expecting the change of pace. I feel it is slightly out of place, but I grew into it... the actual singing though still feels out of place, but come to think of it... what I would like to hear probably wouldn't go well with your change in style... would it?

Other then those minor issues that bother me, I hear no flaws in this piece... I absolutely love the piano by the way! 5 stars out of 5, and good luck for this deathmatch that I had no clue about.

SourJovis responds:

I don't know what you had in mind for the singing. Maybe if someone else sung it it would fit better. Glad you like it.

[Coin and Haggle]

Newgrounds Audio Deathmatch? What was that, did I miss something?

Either way... I love the ambient feel of this... The violin is so soothing. Your friend Jeremy is a great musician. The coins help set the feel and location of the piece, as well as a little sort of percussion like concept as well. In all honesty, it feels like you would be in a market place, the way everything seems to mesh together in this musical fashion is nice.

I enjoyed every bit of this piece. I hope you do well in this deathmatch that I had little idea of. 5 stars out of 5 friend.

MichaelJ responds:

Check out the Deathmatch in the audio forum, they have it every year!

Jeremy is awesome... that's all I can really say.

I think the coins really embellish the piece. A market place is exactly the setting I had in mind.

Thank you for the review!

[Asteroid run/stariing]

Space puzzle anyone?

First off... I find the tune and beat so catchy my head started bobbing away like a bobble head.

I like the change of pace you go with at 1:22. Ooohhh that's nice at 1:30. And then the synth comes in! Dude I am digging this... As a lover of 8-bit you have me sold on this piece! Hmm... I felt you could have kept the 8-bit going on longer at 2:50 but you make it up so.. I'm ok. Ah I see what you did... nice job on refreshing that catchy repetitive part! This song has a Space feel all over it! And again you hit me with something new at 5:10 or so into the song. This song is so good I could probably use some pointers from you! 6 minutes in, and I see no flaws! I like the rush you gave near the end of the song... it really helps end the piece doesn't it? And the fade out is classic!

Overall, I have enjoyed this incredible piece, granted it is a bit on the long side... I will probably listen to it quite a bit more in the future. I am going to leave this song with 5 stars out of 5! I absolutely loved it! Ha! rather then me reviewing you, you should be reviewing me... :P I could use some pointers. Thanks for this piece, and keep up the great work!

8-bitheroes responds:

Thanks very much for the encouraging words, I'm glad you liked it. Consider yourself favourited. I expect I will be reviewing some of your work in the near future!
