jtza8's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Spoons]

Yeah!

This is great, you managed to keep it crisp while going hard. Well done man, well done. :D

culmor30 responds:

:D

:D

[Slithering]

Aced!

Isn't this more like techno? Anyhow, I only give 10s for music that has an "x-factor", sounds like you're gaining more and more xp :P.

culmor30 responds:

Haha, thanks man. I don't even know where to draw the line between techno and trance anymore. Trance used to be... you know, trancey. Not just techno with some minor variations in some sound or another.

[TouHou Hardstyle - Bad Apple]

Heart + Style = Hardstyle :P

Good mix. The intro might have been a little long (or I might have been impatient). I appreciate the element of rock brought into this (or is that just me?).

If it's possible to put rock into hardstyle, can't hardstyle be put into rock? Know what I mean? Like the true (free, experimental and non-mainstream) spirit of rock meets hardstyle? I'm thinking in terms of game music here, what a music language that could be... the awe and fear one could strike into the very souls of the gamers (without them noticing). >:)

I'm just thinking, always thinking 'cause... I... I'm a... total GEEK you know. :P

P.S. I think in terms of game music, as I'm making a cult indie platformer in a hardcore (slightly underground) programming language.

ephixa responds:

what programming language?

And ya metal hardstyle fusion is what I'm all about cool to see you picked up on the vibe

[A.P.E - piano piece - hania]

Extra Ordinary

Composition wise, this is awesome. Simple in design, and simply beautiful. :D

hania responds:

Thanks :)

[-Another Victory-]

Very Professional

Great work. I might be wrong, but aren't the trumpets a little late at 0:11?

Mrmilkcarton responds:

A bit.

[[ear rape] Stroll in Marioland]

AAAA! Ouch :)

Not quite my cup of tea. >.< Ever heard of binaural beats? You basically send one frequency through the left channel, and a very slightly higher/lower frequency through the right channel, and your brain switches between the two, thus creating a "wabwabwab" effect allegedly also altering brain waves. Great effect to play with, (especially with headphones), give it a try. Maybe mess with a pitch/time shift :). Also, playing with an equaliser and noise can get you some heavy distorted and haunting sounds.

culmor30 responds:

Hah, ever tried i-doser? Google it, works for some people. If it worked for me, the effects were minimal, but whatever. Binaural beats have been proven to affect your brainwaves, no question about that, but the level to which they can change your state of mind is still questionable.

[Good Evening]

Awesome!

Feels like a level-up moment in your music. You're getting better and better =). Keep going, we're listening.

culmor30 responds:

Awesome, and I'll keep going, no worries :]

I guess my only regret with this is that I couldn't come up with a better synthline. Oh well.

[Hardstyle Rising]

Hardsyle!

The bit I liked the most was that tempo change at 1:06 about... Don't hear that in a lot of hardstyle. I can sense a little metal. :P

ephixa responds:

Damn straight.

[Nigerian Prince]

Heh heh

Interesting title XD. Good use of "stereo-ness" (or more channels, whatever). My thoughts are a little scattered, so that's basically all I can say atm.

culmor30 responds:

your thoughts are scattered? on this song, or just in general?

[-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.
