Xyirx's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[BoF III - Everyday Battle]

Never expect this coming.

Remind me of old good memories in front of my PSX. You did the remastering quite well. :)

sschafi1 responds:

Thank you! I'm still very much an amateur at mixing, so I do what I can ^_^

[Twilight Techno (Remix)]

I'm melting.

Amazing with all the details and remix style you've put in. I wish that the ending is slowed down a little bit to emphasize the epic-ness. I love this track so much and just downloaded it.

DJ-Babokon responds:

Wow thanks

[Spring Cleaning]

Good melody, but seems very abrupt

I could see that you've got a very nice flowing melody; however, I see that you could have made the sound more pleasing by lessening the stress in each note, so it flows even more. Mastering could always help too.

[8-bit Menu Theme]

Hmmm....

I really dig that bass sound. It's so active and upbeat with good drums. :) Very well done here. I think it will fit in for flash or games perfectly.

[Dragon Flamage]

Weird but nice.

People may find this song really messed up or sounds like someone just plays the piano with random notes, but I think it sounds good....I feel like it still gives me some pictures to imagine in my mind. This may even fit in some film scenes. The ending part is sort of short though.

[Kaitana]

Full of power.

It's rich, full, and has different feelings throughout the song. Plus, different kinds of instruments really bring a lot of excitement to it. This is exactly what I'm looking for. You get my rare 10 stars! I'd surely listen to it in my iPod Touch regularly for sure.

[~|| Pulsative Mirrors]

I feel dizzy.

I really like your choices for instruments; however, sidechaining (if I'm not mistaken) is sort of too much for me when it's used almost the entire time in the beginning. This would fit well in games, I guess. Well done.

T-Free responds:

Mh, I will see what can be done to make it better. I'm glad you liked it, thanks for leaving a review, Xyirx!

[Emotional Calculus {ARG!}]

Very progressive.

I could actually see this being used in a lot of media. Very nice melody and wise use of instruments. Well mastered.

ARGMusic responds:

Thanks for the review! I'm hoping it will be used, as it's one of my favorite loops. :)

[Trial by Fire . . . of DOOM!]

Arghhhh....harpsichord & organ.

Extremely fast paced and enjoyable. It's been a while since I heard good songs with harpsichord. I dig the kick which keeps the song rolling without sidechaining which keeps my head clear. By the way, did you happen to use Banjo in the song? It sounds much like it when I heard it solo before the 1:00 mark. It gives me oriental feeling right off.

TheLizardofOdd responds:

Heh, no banjo...I forget what the instrument was, but it was meant to be slightly oriental. I was picturing overdramatic anime at the time. :D
Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you appreciate my lack of sidechaining, it gives me a headache too. :>

[Flight of the -Dragon-]

What an adventure.

I kinda like how the song leads me to different kinds of adventure. It starts dark, then it goes sort of oriental, then back to something tribal. I mean I love the variety even they could create some sort of weirdness and doesn't sound like it belongs there. However, you manage to link them together with smooth transition. Very well done.
