Xyirx's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[_-={Barley Fields}=-_]

Hmmm

I think the cello (right?) has lead the piece to the nature vision. Sweet and soothing as usual. I think this fits in the game perfectly. It's just at least the same quality music that I listen in other RPG games.....Speechless with its simplicity and beauty. :)

[_-={Moonlit Cobble}=-_]

Soothing.

Your music tells story clearly. I love the style and how the melody goes. Really soothing and easylistening piece. :)

MaestroRage responds:

^_^ That's what we were going for. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for listening.
With love,

[Binary Rain]

Too stormy. ):)

I think, in the first minute where the woodwind kicks in, the storm and rain are too loud, but at the later minutes, they start fading out, especially the storm. The melody and instruments are well picked ('cause they sound natural).

I still wonder why you left the last minute mostly with pure thunderstorm and rain, though it sounds OK. =A=

Anima-Theory responds:

The reason being for the storm was it was designed as a relaxing song for my friend.

Thanks for the review :D

[/M: Obsession Of Force]

Eases my ear....

I like the melody and the effects you put in. It goes on and on, and I don't quite get bored at all. I'd categorize this as easy-listening one. :)

Mich responds:

Thanks man, that means a lot to me.
Only to bad that 0-bombers broke down the score >:(
It has been #1 at dance for like 2 hours :P
Again, thanks!

[{Never Forget} (Halo 3 Remix)]

Simply beautiful.

You've got a great transition between the orchestra strings and the trance drum kicks. Right, it's not something too spectacular, but I think it's beautiful, especially in the beginning.

[Pretend Reality--_--]

Not repetitive but sound related.

I think you've done well on the remixing part, it sounds pretty active throughout the whole song, but the melody doesn't move so much. Nice choices on the sounds used though. :)

[_-={For My Lady}=-_]

Enchanted by your music.

The whole piece is filled with a theme "friend". I could feel what you see and the image you're trying to portray within. I think it's pretty charming when you play it live (because I could hear the guitar string shifting sound)--it sounds natural and peaceful. The shaker might be a little loud, but that's still OK.

The element I like most is what I "see" in your song, which I find it as a heart of music.

MaestroRage responds:

Hello Xyirx! Thank you for your words. You've seen and recognized the vibe I was hoping to emit! A little bit of a surprise though, the guitars are not live. Though I took painstaking measures to change the velocities of each note and put in the sliding sounds when I thought was appropriate. I honestly don't know if it is possible to play this live, there are some parts which would need 2 guitars, maybe even a third.

Thank you for your review, i'm glad you liked it!

[[MS] - Fluem]

Mysterious.....*shivers

It sounds kinda weird like you said, but I could visualize what I hear. There're a lot of electrical sparks running like a system....whatever my imagination is.

The percussion sounds decent and enjoyable along with synthetic voices.

Macsalad responds:

thanks dude!
have you heard the part from 1:47 ?
that part is way different from the first and worth reviewing I guess.
thanks for reviewing!

[VibraPlastik]

Look like pasting things in. :|

The sudden halts in the beginning kinda clearly shows that you just paste the drumloop in, plus the "Aah" vocal which needs to have a smoother blend to the song. Repetitive too. You could try to work on this to make it as a song, not pieces. :D

All the best.

syam responds:

hmm hmm, do u know fasttracker? the best reactor for the oldschool ... :]

[==(Northern Light)==]

Loneliness and tranquility....

I could portray the image here....It's the image at the beach during the night where you could see the stars and moon shining brilliantly, while a man is lying on the sand with his hands on the back of the head....

The music sounds very peaceful.
