jtza8's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-ForLorn-]

Excellent

Like your stuff, always excellent mixing... You have a good understanding of both digital and organic sound. You're good at piano, and more "classical" music too... so... I hope you keep these strengths in whatever style you end up creating.

Good luck with going "commercial". I'd buy your stuff -- if it's internationally available =).

[-In Theory-]

...

Sure this might be a little lackluster, but I still like it. For some strange reason, some of this piece made me think of Mirror's Edge, which is... strange. Don't really think it deserves a 2.xx though, I gave it a 3. :P

Mrmilkcarton responds:

Why the low scores? To be perfectly honest when someone reviews a song I really don't care if you like it or not I'd rather no what is bad about it.

[[c30] Another World]

6 minutes well spent

Good "sketch". Loop jumps a tiny smidgen (a kind of dwarf, I think =P).

culmor30 responds:

I exported it to wrap the rendered tail, it should loop fine outside of the NG player (which does not buffer at all and makes me angry).

[Another Adventure]

Impressive

IMHO, it doesn't go anywhere until 0:41 then it gets good. Maybe it sets out with a bit too much punch? Anyway, good music. :)

[[c30] Lunacy]

Excelent

It's choppy nature is awesome. It doesn't loop perfectly though.

[[c30] Game Over]

Good

Didn't really like the voice all that much, but I guess it's a matter of taste.

I'm a bit of a dork, so here's an Emotional Gratification Graph (EGG) which I just invented, if you'd like others to use it, simply describe it in your author comments -- or not: =P

/ 0:41 -/ 1:14 / 1:36 \- 2:34

Ledgend:
/ = Drastically better
-/ = Slightly better
\- = Slightly worse
\ = Drastically worse
... = Getting boring

culmor30 responds:

Haha, awesome graph there. Am I reading it right? (/ goes with 0:41, \- with 2:34?)

[Endeavour - SummerStorm]

Awesome

Really, this is awesome, I haven't enjoyed a trance track this much in a while.

If I must nitpick, a small bit of compressor tweaking should get rid of the slight clipping at the start.

Endeavour responds:

Thanks' a lot for the review jtza8 =),
And im very glad you liked it that much !,

I already tried to compress the start, but it pairs with a great loss in overal volume,
Untill i found a way to prevent that, i cannot change it. it might only ruin it.

Thanks again though,
Endeavour

[Hallucinogenic]

Congratulations :P

Cheeky atmosphere, well mixed. Everyone seems to like it lots, including me. :D

culmor30 responds:

Yay :D

[Failed Parachute]

Interesting

Doing something different every now and then is good :), it's when one learns the most IMHO.

What I'm about to say might just make you say WTF in confusion, as I'm pretty good at not making sense when being abstract. Simply focus on the cause as opposed to the effect of what I'm saying and it might make sense. :P

Sometimes there's a sense of ambiance that swallows me whole in music, something like ghosts haunting me. I can't see it, but I sure as hell can feel it. That's what this piece might need more of (depending on what you were going for).

It's like listening to a cold wind, and feeling it getting bloody cold. Or like listening to birds in a forest, and feeling lost in a huge space. In this way, music creates a sense of synaesthesia that everyone experiences.

The infamous MrMilkcarton did this rather well when he wrote music for the game "Penguinz" (see http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/liste n/221910).

Regardless, what you have here is good, and it's always a pleasure reviewing your music. =)

culmor30 responds:

Yeah, I get what you're saying. I made most of this while i was... intoxicated, lol. I wasn't really going for anything :D

[Your Ignorance]

Heh

Seems this is too "black-hearted" for most. :P I suppose it carries emotions that you can't relate to unless you've experienced them yourself.

Emotionally awesome; awesomely dark - good job.

culmor30 responds:

Yeah p:

Also thanks for reviewing so much, you're seriously my most reliable reviewer :D
