Krichotomy's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[This is Snake]

The composition. The production. They're amazing. Delicious use of brass. My computer kept stuttering and I was like "dubstep remix?".

Step responds:

Woo, glad you like it! Yeah the stuttering is from the Newgrounds audio player. "Dubstep remix?" is PRECISELY the same thing I think when it stutters for me too haha.

Thanks for dropping by!

[Highlands]

Wonderfully relaxing. Something to drink my tea to. :)

I rate the four stars because the lack of audio quality, but really it's a five-star experience to me (because of my personal preferences and emotions and stuff).

MrNightVarga responds:

Thank you =)

Yeah, I don't know what happened, I understand that during the conversion you lose a bit of quality but... I don't know, anyway , thanks once again for the review.

[[Sonic in Wonderland]]

What does this have to do with Touhou? The style doesn't sound very Touhou-esque to me.

It's not bad, but the sounds are too harsh to me.

This is lightyears away from the style I chose to reinterpret the Ice Cap Zone Act 1 theme into. I went with a calm and soft style. :P

MeisterMach5 responds:

It has nothing to do with Touhou whatsoever. I just like Touhou XD

[Brawnzer's Brawl]

Excellent work. Really, this is a very well done piece of music. Nice looping, too.

The xylophone(?) and chimes are nice touches. And... is that a cowbell? :D

Deemo-R responds:

Thank you! There is some xylophone and marimba in there, and yes... mucho cowbell :v

[Reborn as Machine]

Holy YES.

And I love that surprise chord at the very end.

DanJohansen responds:

Glad you do man, it came on the spot as I was finishing the tune!

[FFX Battle Theme (Piano Cover)]

It's not the highest quality render imaginable, but the performance is wonderful, and I like the choirs, as 'lazy' as they might be. :D My favorite part is the high part that starts around 02:10.

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Hey again! Thanks for reviwing so much stuff of mine :)
I'd love to return the favor, but alas I lack the time at the moment. I'll make sure to take a deeper look at your things at a later point though :D

I'm glad you liked my performance and the instruments :3
The part at 02:10 is actually quite a bit different than the original, but I like it too XD

[Village on the Ridge]

Pleasant, a bit melancholic.

BenTibbetts responds:

Thanks for listening. :)

[The Violin]

Nice melody. I really like the drums you used and how you used them.

I agree with LexaHergon's statement that it is too difficult to distinguish the piano from the plucked string notes. They are playing around the same frequencies and their sounds get confused together. I think many people would also find the frequency overlap (/muddling) between the violin and piano to be bothersome, but I don't mind it.

I actually rather like the sound created by this track without a bass line, but some sort of bass presence would probably give it a nice, fuller sound, and appeal to a much wider audience.

Alxertion responds:

Thanks! Adding a bass line is really something I should get used to, it's not the first time I do that (well, technically it is, considering it's my first song I ever made). As for distinguishing instruments better, I'll really improve on that next time. Once again, thank you for your review!

[Timid Journey]

I love this atmosphere.

MrNightVarga responds:

Thanks for dropping by.

[Aurora Dawn]

Beautiful, as I knew it would be.

I really like the piano with it's gentle high notes and resounding lows. And I /love/ the composition.

Some of the resonance from the piano actually sounded like it was coming from your voice to me, making it sound like your voice had too much bass even though it wasn't actually coming from your voice. (I /think/ that's what I'm hearing.)

I just looked up "Esperanto" and what a fascinating thing it is!

May the sunlight comfort you. It certainly comforts me.

etherealwinds responds:

I'm glad you enjoyed it! My voice is annoying to mix when the instruments I use have such similar frequencies bahhh.

Esperanto is a wonderful concept isn't it? Beautiful language too!
Thank you~
