AlexanderZero's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[TMM43] Hello?]

Pretty epic

This reminds me of epic trance with the big chords and instrument arrangements. It would be cool if it kicked in some more it still kind of sounds like an intro but it's pretty cool either way. Also it's pretty loud it sounds like some of your tracks might be distorting just a little.

TMM43 responds:

Thanks for the review AlexanderZero.
I really didn't know what to do after the build up. Now I have an idea, so look out for a longer version of this.
The lead is a bit loud, I will turn that down.
Once again thanks

Sweet :D

I really liked it. It came off as being strange at first but then when multiple saxophones started to harmonize it became really really cool! ^_^

snoballandthmonyshot responds:

cheers bro,
was just a sax practice exercise really, only been playing bout a month so i need all the practice i can get. this is the first time i've recorded layering more than 2 sax parts and there are some well lush harmonies in there, has inspired me to write some bits like this into my tracks, possible to get a gorgeously full sound i reckon.
anyways, cheers

[Drugs, Sadness, and Dying]

Funky Song

I liked the unusual, almost sort of broken chord and instrumental transitions in the song. It would be weird normally, but in the case of the story this song tells I'd say it works very well. It creates a kind of alienating feel but then it also relates to your emotions in a sad-confused way. For the purpose, this song pretty well fits the bill! :D

JakesFable responds:

well thank you for the review comments

[Mythic Ambiance - Shen]

Good effort

You can tell a lot of effort is put into a song when it goes on for so long with such elaborate effects. At first it seemed a little bit atonal, but the chord progression eventually shows itself and it is very nice! The effects were well mastered, the song gets a ten for clarity and effort for sure ^__^ It would have been cool if it kicked in harder, but then again that's probably not what you were aiming for because I get the impression that you're pretty capable. Some things I really liked: The soft drum thing and the piano.

This sounds like it could be some kind of sci-fi soundtrack. :D

Shenkhar responds:

One thing I worried about when I was just finishing making the song was the beginning. I thought people might get bored then move to another song... Thanks for sticking through!

[Wish You Were Here]

Nice!

It's hard to pin down exactly what this sounds like to me. It's a very original mix. I liked it a lot until the sytrus preset came in D: The melodies were good but the synth is really way too loud. Your song sounds really great with all the other instruments though. As more tracks enter it balances out more. Nice song, it has a cool contemplative feel to it.

Also, I was loving those guitar pitch bends towards the beginning where you don't really know where the song is going, but then it resolves to a correct chord.

djt820 responds:

Well, thanks alot. Yeah, I meant to make the sytrus loud because it really leveled out nicely once the song really kicked in. Glad you liked it man \m/

[Palace Politics]

Original

The song is nice but it has a very synthesized feel for a classical piece. It's possible to create very nice classical sounds with soundfonts, you should take a look around and see if you can find any ones you like. Other then that though, the song is really great. It's nice to hear composers who compose whatever they want by ear and then stick with it. You came up with some really neat stuff. I also like the story behind the song too ^_^ :D

Eviance responds:

Huh well I happen to have over a gig of space on my computer dedicated to sound fonts and I tried to use the best ones i had....but if you could direct me to some good FREE (I don't have a credit card you know) sound fonts then I will gladly download them, and use them.

Until then please try not to be too critical the sound fonts I use.

But other than that thanks for the positive review! :)

[Brain Fluid (Demo)]

Very good

The opening of this song is great. The effects are perfectly mastered and very professional sounding. This reminds me of Pendulum, certainly music like this is not to be taken lightly. It is obvious that this song was made with tons of effort. The instruments, effects, and drums are all very clear.

I did seem to miss the face slapping though :0

MurphDirrt responds:

appreciate the review - checked out your music. impressive. i like it.

[Sky Hi]

It has potential

Nice chord progression and instruments. You picked them out well :D I liked the melodies, they were pleasing and interesting. A little repetitive at first, but it sets a good trancy mood. My only complaint would be that the tracks don't seem mastered all that well, I would tweak the volume to better perfect the sound and reduce any distortion.

Mr-green-apple responds:

i think its better on my logitech speakers but hey if your guna listen to it through headphones then its gotta sound good there too.

[iron rave]

Good song

Nice, very emotional lead. I liked the trancy arpegiator you used to pack it up. The drums were simplistic and yet they fit the song nicely. The song has a really nice beat once all of the tracks come in.

sonicxtreme responds:

tnx man for your review
