Krichotomy's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Greensleeves House]

Cool! Chill.

The cymbal sounds like it is right beside me in a small room, but everything else sounds far away in a large room. My ears don't like that. Perhaps a bit of EQ or reverb on the cymbal would be good?

K-Pone responds:

Yes, I agree with you. The cymbal could be a little bit adjusted.

[Illusion of Salvation]

I like it. Nice composition. The high piano notes sound too short, but I don't really know how to fix that. It's a soundfont problem, right? XD

Darknessbreaker responds:

Thanks, thanks. Yep its a problem with the soundfont and my other soundfonts got the same problem so i decided to use FluidR3 anyways. But i guess i should learn playing keyboard a bit better. Well... I think that the song is quite good and it just fits to me. ^^

Thanks for your Review.

[Encapsulation]

I dislike object-oriented programming. (It's a personal thing.) This track, however, is great.

All hail the mighty GOTO.

Step responds:

Praise be to System.out.println!

Thanks for reviewing!

[Final Siege]

Cool imperfections!

Emid responds:

Thank you my friend. Still imperfections :)

[Windows Generations]

Solid approval.

K-Pone responds:

Thanks

[Zambezi River]

Awesome. If you could make the flute more fluid and natural I would call it super awesome.

conorstrejcek responds:

Thanks!
Honestly, I'm kind of pushing the limitations of the samples I'm using, so the flutes probably won't sound more natural until I can get a better sample library haha.

[For Now, Goodbye (Improv)]

Very well executed sir. But I don't see what's so "Blazing" or "Dragon" about it. Oh, wait, that's your username!

How appropriate, since I'm saying goodbye to lots of people now. It's actually kinda painful to listen to this because I feel like through the music I'm seeing them though an infinitely wide pane of glass. I can see them, but only in shades of grey, and I can't hear them. They can't see or hear me. On their side the sky is bright and sunny and everybody is laughing and enjoying each other, on my side is just stillness and emptiness. But I smile as I see them and remember when I was right there with them, and as I turn around to face what life now holds for me I see a farmhouse that I've never seen before. And I think there are people there that I will meet, that will be my new friends, my family.

BlazingDragon responds:

Ahahaha, no, definitely not a blazing piece!

Your analogy is beautiful when read with the music, and it perfectly captures the bittersweet aspect of life that I tried to evoke. On one hand, you go through life and have to shoulder the burden of letting certain people go. On the other, a whole world of opportunity is ahead, and the prospect of that can be exhilarating.

To me, life is beautiful largely because of the contrast between joy and sadness. I would much rather have a life of incredible victories and crushing defeats than one of unremarkable, comfortable mediocrity. Hopefully, that idea comes through in the music I write.

Thank you for your review, Krichotomy. I also recall you leaving a notable review for Children's Overture, and I appreciate your remarks.

[Hero Theme]

Nice! This reminds me of the dungeons in the swamp realm of Fate: Undiscovered Realms or Fate: The Traitor Soul. I don't think of this as a "Hero Theme", more like a "The City is in Trouble" theme.

conorstrejcek responds:

I'm glad you liked it!

It's supposed to be a more "undeveloped hero" theme (with a troubled past), but I can see where you'd get the "City is in Trouble."

Thank's for the review!

[Lovestruck]

You have ascended into the realm of amazing musical compositions. Or maybe you were always there. Anyway, this is amazing. :)

VGSongbird responds:

Lol it takes hard work to make a piece of music. I'm just glad you enjoyed it. Thank you :D

[Final Battle Orchestral]

Great use of Sonatina! I actually prefer this over the original Final Battle, but I would probably most like some super radical electronic version. :P

K-Pone responds:

Would you like to make one? I'd like to hear someone else's interpretation of the song.
